Michael Hemsworth — March 13, 2017 — Tech
'Amicus' is a new app to help users develop friendships that are meaningful and based on mutual interests and ideals in order to increase the likeliness of finding friends who are right for you.
While most social apps focus on personal photos, 'Amicus' matches users on an anonymous basis by linking them through similar interests and ideals. Matched users are able to chat with one another to see if they are socially compatible with one another before being given the opportunity to like each other. From here, user profiles are revealed with photos and further information.
'Amicus' works as an effective app to develop friendships for those who are in new locations or those simply looking to expand their existing social circle.
