The app allows users to see where their opinions on issues fit in with broader society. These issues range from hot-button topics like politics to more lighter fare like celebrities. The voting on the Aop app is done on a [sliding scale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dilemaa) from "dislike" to "favorite" and all votes cast are completely anonymous. [Anonymous apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shushh) have been taking off the last few years, but most of them include some sort of a social element. The Aop app is similar in that users express their opinions, but unlike similar apps there's no way to connect with other users. The Aop app is out now for both iOS and Android. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Anonymous Voting Apps:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in developing more anonymous opinion platforms with diverse topics and voting options. ### Where This Applies - **Social Networking:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating anonymous, non-social platforms for expressing opinions. - **Politics:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in leveraging anonymous voting apps to gather insights and data on public opinion. - **Market Research:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in using anonymous voting apps as a tool for collecting unbiased feedback and insights on various topics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anonymous Social Wellness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-wellness1.md) - [Period-Focused Privacy Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anonymous-mode.md) - [Anonymous Kindness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soothe1.md) - [Verified Opinion Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pollett.md) - [Engaging Political Update Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govside-app.md) - [Interactive Browsing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayapo.md) - [Anonymous Feedback Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candor.md) - [Anonymous Campus Story Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unstag.md) - [Anonymous Messaging Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shushh.md)
