Search Rankout on Amazon.Rankout is a social networking owned by SooNet, Inc. It is created by Sean Adhikari and launched in August 2018 exclusively on iOS.[1]
The app allows users to upload photos and videos to the service while maintaining their rank, which can be edited with various filters and organized with tags and location information. An account's posts can be shared with friends or squads. Users can browse other users' content by tags and locations, and view trending content. Users can "like" photos, and add other users to add their content to a feed.
The service also added messaging features, as well as "Stories"—similar to its main competitor Snapchat—which allows users to post photos and videos to a sequential feed, with each post accessible by others for 24 hours each.
this app implements a new ranking system. For example, liking a picture increases your rank, however, if a user unlikes a post then it will decrease their rank as well. So, its a huge challenge to maintain the rank. The rank is implemented in almost everything on the app.
History[edit]
On August 10, 2018, the rankout iOS app was officially released through the App Store.
Rankout was created to have a place where its a challenge everyday; where users are rewarded for doing almost anything. Also to follow the belief of creating a product that focuses on users privacy. With the ranking aspect of the app, it is a challenge everyday. You may gain points today and loose the next day.
Features and tools[edit]
Users can upload photographs and short videos, follow other users' feeds, and tag images with the name of a location. With the initial release, Rankout introduced hashtags to help users discover both photos and each other. Rankout encourages users to make tags both specific and relevant, rather than tagging generic words like "photo", to make photographs stand out and to attract like-minded rankout users. Shortly after release Rankout launched zoom feature that allows users to pinch-to-zoom the screen to virtually zoom in on photos and videos.
The first version of the app was insanely slow and very displeasing design flow.
Wall of fame[edit]
Shortly after the launch, rankout introduced "Wall of fame", a tab inside the app that displays popular posts with high rank as well as users with top tanks.
Photographic filters[edit]
Rankout offers a number of photographic filters that users can apply to their images:
- Normal: No filter applied.
- Nashville: Warms the temperature, lowers contrast and increases exposure to give a light "pink" tint – making it feel "nostalgic".
- Toaster: Ages the image by "burning" the center and adds a dramatic vignette.
- 1977: The increased exposure with a red tint gives the photograph a rosy, brighter, faded look.
- Clarendon: Intensifies shadows and brightens highlights. Originally released as a video-only filter.
- HazeRemoval: Intensifies shadows and darker highlights.
- Chrome
* And more
Rankout Messaging[edit]
Messaging is a feature that lets users interact through private messaging. Users who are friends with each other can send private messages with photos and videos, in contrast to the public-only requirement that was previously in place. Additionally, users can now reply to private messages with text, emoji or by clicking on a heart icon. A camera inside Direct lets users take a photo and send it to the recipient without leaving the conversation. Private messages "disappear" 24 hours after being viewed by the recipient, with the sender receiving a notification if the recipient takes a screenshot. Rankout redesigned Direct to combine all private messages, both permanent and ephemeral, into the same message threads.
