Philadelphia, PA – In the midst of what has been called a loneliness epidemic, one app is seeking to revolutionize the way people make connections and build meaningful relationships. Spinnr®, a video-based friendship app, is the ultimate solution to combating the loneliness and friendship recession in America.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, loneliness is a public health crisis that has been underappreciated, with consequences including an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, and premature death. However, as Spinnr VP of Marketing and cofounder Kristin LaSalle explains, “We know it’s difficult to meet new friends while living through several historic moments that the whole world is dealing with. That’s why we built Spinnr.”
Spinnr aims to change the way people make new friends. With a simple to use interface, that doesn’t include any of the negative features rampant on social media such as likes, comments, followers, and other toxic behaviors, Spinnr cuts through the noise. Featuring video profiles, intro videos, and video messaging, members can easily connect with people around them who share their hobbies and interests. The app’s emphasis on real-life connections and face-to-face interactions helps combat the negative effects of social media and cyber interaction, bringing back the meaningful relationships of the past.
“We believe there is a huge gap in the market for creating friendships and joining a community. Our innovative platform is the solution to this obvious problem,” said Spinnr CEO and founder Jason Sherman. “Our forward-thinking platform is designed to promote healthy and balanced use of technology and foster genuine human connections. We are dedicated to helping people build and maintain meaningful friendships, regardless of the challenges presented by the world.”
Recent data shows that loneliness has been on the rise for years, with one survey finding that nearly half of all Americans report feeling lonely, and 43% say they feel isolated from others. This trend has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, with social distancing measures and remote work making it even harder to build social connections.
However, with Spinnr, finding friends who share your interests and hobbies is easier than ever before. “Spinnr is for everyone,” says Sherman. “Whether you just moved to a new city and are looking for new friends to explore with, or you just got a new frisbee and want someone to help you get better at throwing it.”
As loneliness continues to be a critical public health issue, it’s important to take steps to address it. Spinnr offers a safe and inclusive space for all users, welcoming and encouraging everyone to be themselves. The app supports the LGBTQ community and all genders and identities, making it a truly accessible and diverse community for all. The app also features an event section to find things to do in your area, and allows members to create their own private events as well.
As society continues to grapple with the negative effects of social media on mental health, one app is offering a solution. Spinnr®, a video-based friendship app, has been addressing the impact of social media on mental health and promoting positive relationships. With its emphasis on finding friends through shared interests and hobbies, Spinnr offers a way to create positive friendships and join a community of like-minded people. By removing the toxic behavior often found on social media platforms, Spinnr is providing a safe and inclusive space for users to build meaningful relationships and combat the negative effects of social media.
In a world where loneliness and isolation have become all too common, Spinnr offers a new way forward, helping people make real connections with real people. As the Spinnr team says, “It’s time to find your Spinnr Squad and spin with them!”
The app is available for iPhone and Android with a web version on the way. You can download the apps or read more information about the company at Spinnr.app
