You’ve probably heard of Clubhouse by now - the trending voice chat/podcast/conference app that has occupied headlines during the past few weeks. If you’re still wondering what this app really does and how to get invited, check out our article and get on the waiting list (or snatch an invite from a friend). But be quick, because the app is really exploding right now.
Apparently, Clubhouse’s user base has grown more than four times since December 2020, according to data from research firm App Annie. Clubhouse launched back in April 2020, and by May 2020 it had just 1,500 users. The hype started to accumulate when big names like Elon Musk joined the platform and skyrocketed the number of users over the one million mark.
The data from App Annie shows that Clubhouse has been downloaded more than 8 million times on the App Store, and this trend is going to last. Looking at the graph we can see a really steep curve starting from mid-January. The app is making huge ripples in the tech world, as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg not only joined Clubhouse but ordered a similar app to be developed under the Facebook branding.
Meanwhile, Clubhouse is working hard to take the app out of beta and allow more users to register without the need for an invitation. Is Clubhouse the next big thing in social media? What do you think?
