The recently updated Hooks app is designed to keep you in the know about everything. The app lets you subscribe to notifications from over 100 different channels, ranging from sports to Alexa ranking and earthquake warnings. According to the app, you can potentially sign up to receive over a million notifications, which could end up literally blowing up your phone.
For all that it offers, the Hooks app interface is surprisingly uncluttered and well sorted. Adding a new notification happens in one tap, and notifications are concise and timely. While there are likely many notifications you'll never even touch, the Hooks app does seem to offer something for everyone. Perhaps its greatest strength will be in helping people declutter their phone by purging excess apps that only provide notifications and not much else.
