Or a new movie crosses a rating of 7 on IMDB? Well, if yes, then Hooks is for you. Hooks is an app that will send you a notification for things that are important to you. Choose one from 1M+ alerts or you can create your custom alerts by choosing one of 100+ channels available. Hooks for Android and iOS will make your smartphone notifications smarter.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> Hooks for Android and iOS lets you discover and create push notifications for just about anything, and you can configure the notifications based on your needs. You can choose from thousands of subjects and types, television, music, sports, social media, weather, blog updates and more. Mostly though, the value that Hooks adds is that you don’t have to check various sources or websites on your phone. Plus, you end up checking less your phone lesser as you are knowing that the vibration in your pocket will be something that you genuinely want to know about.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> Hooks co-founder Oleg Kozynenko, on what are the problems Hooks has set out to solve, said –</div> <blockquote style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; line-height: 28.8px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 50px; position: relative; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> <div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> People need to install many apps to stay tuned on what matters to them. Also, for many things, notifications are the easiest way to be well informed</div> </blockquote> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> Whenever you install a new app on your mobile device, you would be promoted to allow that app to send you notifications. Now think about 100 such applications and if you allow all of them, it really becomes messy. You wish to go back and change the permission for all apps, and it is a lot of effort. This is exactly why you should not allow any app to send you notification and configure Hooks for Android and iOS to do that.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Ubuntu, Arial, sans-serif;
