Until now, the Clubhouse app was only available to Apple users.
In the future, a few things will change in the Clubhouse app, and the developers have announced numerous improvements.
For everyone who has passed the trend and who is wondering: “What is a
clubhouse
?
And how does the
Clubhouse app work
? ”- a brief summary beforehand: Clubhouse * is an
audio-only app
.
Similar to a podcast, users can
listen to
conversations
in the
app
in different rooms
.
The special thing about it: You can not only
take part
in the discussion groups as a
listener
, you can also actively participate and have a say.
Only the voice can be heard and a profile picture can be seen.
Live videos, chat rooms, feeds or other bells and whistles that you get from other
social networks
does not exist at Clubhouse - hence the name
audio-only
.
In each room * there are moderators,
speakers
and listeners.
The
moderators
determine who is allowed to speak and listen.
All
listeners in
a room can then virtually raise their hands and actively participate in the
conversations
as speakers
.
Everyone can
start
a new
room
and thus automatically becomes a moderator and can determine who they want to speak to -
friends
or strangers from all over the world.
Clubhouse: Drastic innovations in the audio-only app
Clubhouse has been available in
Germany
since the beginning of January.
Since then, the
app
has received
a lot of criticism *, among other things because the use of
Clubhouse
is not yet possible for everyone.
The app is currently only available in the app store and is therefore only
reserved for
people with an
Apple
smartphone
or tablet
.
Android users
have not yet had the opportunity to download the app.
But an Apple device alone is not enough.
Because there is another catch: anyone who
wants to
gain access to the
social network
needs an
invitation
from another member.
Each member has the opportunity
to invite
two more friends to the
Clubhouse app
.
An upgrade of the app should change this.
The makers of
Clubhouse
have announced numerous innovations, as
reported by

Innovations in the audio-only app: When will Clubhouse finally be available for Android?
Many are wondering: When will
Clubhouse
finally also be available for
Android
?
An exact date when the app will also be available for
Android users
is not yet known.
However, the app developers Paul Davison and Rohan Seth have now announced on their blog that they will soon
start
developing an
Android app
.
The money for the development of a
Clubhouse Android app
was raised through a financing round.
So it is clear that the app for
Android users
will definitely come, but the question of when remains open.
What innovations should there be in the Clubhouse app?
The rule that people can only
access the
app
through an
invitation
should remain that way for the time being.
The developers of the app have introduced this pyramid scheme to counteract an overload of the
servers
for the time being
.
Because actually the
Clubhouse app
is not yet fully developed and is still in the
test phase
.
If the servers are stable enough, the snowball principle should be abolished.
When exactly this is is not known.
However, the company behind the
app is
currently working on
improving
the infrastructure
and
preventing future
failures caused
by
overloading the servers
.
In addition, the security and support teams are to be increased so that
abuses
can be punished more quickly and new
clubs
can be approved more quickly.
The investments in this area definitely suggest that
clubhouse invitations could
soon be a thing of the past.
Will using the Clubhouse App cost money in the future?
Or will the app stay free?
Many influencers see the
Clubhouse app as
competition to Instagram.
The idea that
clubhouse
could become another source of income for influencers is not absurd.
So far there is no money to be made on Clubhouse, but possibilities are to be tested in the next few months
to pay
speakers
.
Options for an
innovation in the app
would be a voluntary tip, fee-based “entry tickets” for rooms or different subscription models.
On the one hand, this means that influencers
could actively earn money
in the
Clubhouse app
in the future
, but also that the
full
use of
Clubhouse is
no longer necessarily free and some features will have to be purchased in the future.
It is also conceivable that, similar to Netflix,
subscriptions would have to be concluded
for general
access to the app
.
The founders have not yet revealed anything about the exact plans for how the Clubhouse will be financed in the future.
