Loop: New Social Discovery App Launches Across the UK in January
London, UK – January 2025: After a successful soft launch in Brighton in October 2024, Loop, a revolutionary social discovery app, will rollout across the UK from January.
Loop enables users to host or join 1:1 social activities happening nearby within the next 3hrs.
Unlike traditional social discovery and connection platforms, Loop is all about living in the moment and enabling spontaneity. Got a few hours to kill - meet for coffee with a fellow culture vulture, try a yoga class with another newbie for moral support or head-out to see a band that your usual social circle aren't in to. Loop connects you with like-minded people who are ready to meet-up and experience life in the real world, rather than through a device.
The app is the brainchild of Ryan Boyling, co-founder and CTO of Loop and creator of the wildly successful Countdown app. With over 60 million downloads globally, Countdown established Ryan as a leading innovator in the app space. His deep understanding of what makes an app both engaging and user-friendly is what powers Loop’s design.
“We’re thrilled with the feedback we received in Brighton,” said Ryan Boyling. “Loop is about breaking away from the digital clutter and connecting with people right here, right now. We believe social discovery should be spontaneous, not something you have to plan endlessly.”
The Power of Spontaneity
Loop’s simple yet powerful concept focuses on enabling users to discover and host activities on the fly. You can browse what’s happening around you, make instant plans and meet new people without the friction of time-consuming chatting, swiping and scrolling.
“People have now grown weary of endlessly messaging strangers back-and-forth, with little chance of actually meeting-up and growing that relationship. It became clear from our pilot that people now want to establish and begin building genuine connections much more quickly, based on the participation and enjoyment of mutual interests" said Darren Newman, Loop co-founder and CEO. “With Loop, we’ve made it easy to discover nearby activities, whether it’s a quick meet-up, a walk in the park or to participate in a shared hobby - all happening in the next few hours.”
A Proven Track Record
Ryan’s success with Countdown sets the stage for Loop’s potential. Countdown captivated users worldwide, creating a highly engaging experience that resonated with millions. His expertise in developing apps that entertain and engage will help Loop grow into a major player in the social discovery space.
“Creating Countdown taught me how powerful an app can be when it connects people in real time,” Ryan explained. “With Loop, we’re taking that same energy and applying it to spontaneous social discovery—whether you're new to a city or just looking for something fun to do.”
What’s Next for Loop?
As Loop expands across the UK, the team is focused on evolving the app based on user feedback, adding exciting AI integration along with new features that make spontaneous socialising even easier.
“We’re just getting started,” Ryan said. “The success in Brighton has been an amazing launchpad and we’re excited to bring this experience to the rest of the UK—and beyond. Our ultimate vision is to create a global platform that helps people discover and enjoy meaningful, in-the-moment, social experiences that lay the foundations for lasting friendships, wherever they are in the world.”
