Audio-based social startup Clubhouse finally releases an Android app

Audio-based social startup Clubhouse has finally released an Android app at a time when the much-hyped company has seen its popularity start to decline. The app, initially available only in beta in the U.S. ahead of a wider global launch and release, is, like the iOS version, still invite-only. That means that although Android users now have the potential to access the service, they can’t simply sign up. “Our plan over the next few weeks is to collect feedback from the community, fix any issues we see and work to add a few final features like payments and club creation before rolling it out more broadly,” Clubhouse said in a blog post . “As a part of the effort to keep the growth measured, we will be continuing the waitlist and invite system, ensuring that each new community member can bring along a few close friends.” Clubhouse has become one of the most hyped tech startups over the last year, with venture capital funding to match. In April , Clubhouse raised a Series C round on a val

HIGHLIGHTS Android version of Clubhouse is being tested by a few "friendly testers." More Android users will be onboarded for the testing in the coming weeks. Clubhouse is not the only prominent player in the voice chat space anymore. Clubhouse has started beta testing its much-awaited app for Android OS. The audio chat app had been a massive hit on Apple App Store for the past few months before experiencing a considerable drop in the number of downloads last month.
