Highlight was a social networking application for iOS and Android created by Paul Davison.[1] 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.[2] On April 30, 2015, the developers announced a change of focus towards social networking via photo-sharing through their Roll [3] app.

Criticism[edit]

Highlight has been criticized for its disclosing of private information to strangers.[4] 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.[5]
