Hooks

Overall Opinion: The idea behind Hooks is one that makes a good deal of sense, but the app has some shortcomings that prevent it from being a top-tier member of its category. If the app functioned perfectly, it would be an ideal solution to the problem of disjointed notifications. The software does work a fair amount of the time, but there are occasions when you might notice that it failed to push forward a potentially vital notification. The software is compatible with hundreds of different channels, so it works a lot like an RSS feeder. This is especially true if you follow those channels but turn off push notifications for certain channels. You can, of course, have these channels set to provide automatic notifications when something new is added to them. You'll be able to find topics in just about any category you can imagine. Just like the default app notification system in most mobile devices, Hooks can work through your device's locked screen so you can still view your vital notifications in real time regardless of whether or not your phone is unlocked. This is especially helpful for those who don't want to fiddle with their device every time a new piece of information becomes available. The user interface for Hooks is clean and sleek, but it lacks any of the flash that makes an app memorable. Of course, that could be considered a positive aspect of the software since, as a notification system, it is inherently designed to operate in the background. You'll end up getting far more utility from the notifications the app generates than the app itself, which shows that it does its job well when everything is working as it should. Some users have noted that the software tends to suddenly stop pushing notifications altogether for seemingly no reason, but those issues tend to resolve themselves by restarting the app. Other users have noted that they discovered some hidden setting that was preventing them from taking full advantage of the app. If you try Hooks and have any issues with it, you might try looking through all the available setting menus in search of something that might be blocking notifications. The vast majority of users have claimed that Hooks works fine for them, which is why it tends to have such a high rating amongst software in its category. In total, using Hooks will give you access to thousands upon thousands of new notifications that will help you through your daily life. The app is small and takes up very little space on your device, and it streamlines your ability to collect and process new knowledge as it is generated in real time.
