The Jump App

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that The Jump App is a social networking platform that aims to create a more personalized experience through its unique approach to virtual community and comprehensive communication tools. The company's mission sets it apart from other social media platforms, promising not to flood user streams with stories determined by algorithms. Instead the app gives users customization tools, giving them control over which friends, topics, and communities appear on their feed. The app calls groups "Jumps," and users can join one of the many existing suggested Jumps representing a variety of interests, or they can create their own Jump and invite others. In addition to customization filters, the app offers over 17 integrated tools. It offers entertainment features, such as Spotify and YouTube. There are also tools that boost efficiency and communication by allowing users to create and share lists, events, files, payments, and polls, among others things, all from one platform. Although user feeds are ad free, the app does include a section where users can browse through content, including articles and videos, created by companies, organizations, and content creators. Under this category, users may see product links and promotions.
