Highlight is a social networking application for iOS and Android.[3] The application finds nearby users and shows things they have in common with a user. The application received a large update which introduced Android support on November 20, 2012.[4] On April 30, 2015, the developers announced a change of focus towards social networking via photo-sharing through their Roll [5] app.

Usage
People can register user profiles with the service by entering their information. They then leave the application running in the background, and it will notify them of people nearby.[6]
Criticism
Highlight has been criticized for its disclosing of private information to strangers.[7] Highlight requires a connection to both users' Facebook accounts and their location. The difference between Highlight and other services like Foursquare is that it shares information continuously.[8]
