CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 30, 2015) - iHookup Social, Inc. (OTC PINK: HKUP) (OTC PINK: HKUPD), a fully reporting public company that develops and markets a mobile/social app positioned at the intersection of social media and location based connections is pleased to announce details of the company's plans to extend its app features to provide hyper-local functionality in its upcoming release of the new friendable app. The functionality draws from the hyper local service offering of companies like Uber.
In addition providing a superior way for people to connect, find love or embark on a new adventure, the friendable app will extend services further to seamlessly allow users to quickly find friendly local service providers the instant they may need assistance. Just as Uber connects drivers and passengers, or Grubhub connects hungry customers with local restaurants, friendable will extend its app features to assist users with any of hundreds of services in their local community, as well as allowing them to make themselves available through the app, to provide a particular service for a particular time or duration.
"Based on the local orientation of these new features, friendable will not only open up new features that promote new connections, but additional revenue opportunities that exploit "hyper local advertising" as well," said Robert Rositano Jr., CEO, iHookup Social. "Our local approach to new connections, love or adventure opens up community based members and organizations that have the potential of joining in very large numbers to use the all-new friendable app, whether the connection is out of a desire to meet others or the need to connect for a service.
"We continue to extend our app features, by learning from our users themselves, our users have a voice that drives our continued innovation and feature expansion into the future. These new services align perfectly alongside our existing features, we are not just a dating service any longer," said Rositano. "We are a catalyst for connections of all varieties."

About iHookup Social:
iHookup Social is a mobile-social app positioned at the intersection of location based connections, love and adventure, stimulating hyper-local opportunities for our user community as well as the venues and merchants competing for their business.
The company seeks to redefine the way people connect, find love or embark on an adventure. iHookup Social is where real people make real connections and businesses pay to be their host. The by-product of our business model inherently produces "hyper-local" advertising opportunities for the company, driving customers to local venues and / or businesses. The laws of attraction or making a new connection have shifted, with the traditional meaning of "being social" or "meeting up," now taking a backseat to meeting online or through a mobile device and apps.
Making connections through online or mobile devices has become a dominant part of today's mobile-social lifestyle, across various social circles, age groups, race, gender and demographics. iHookup Social takes the virtual connection and moves it toward a real-life interaction, facilitating connections and offering-up locally relevant hot spots and locations to meet up with these new connections, allowing iHookup Social to become both matchmaker and concierge. This combination provides a unique opportunity for consumer brands to offer incentives to a growing network of socially active mobile users on a hyper-local basis.
