The Whip feed is the Feed tab, where you discover apps other people made. It has two views: For You, personalized to your taste and refreshed continuously, and Trending, ranked purely by all-time engagement. Category chips let you filter, and every card lets you play the app, like it, or dig into its details. Below is exactly what the feed shows and, in plain honest words, how it decides what floats to the top.

For You

A personalized mix that learns from what you play and engage with, and keeps refreshing. It’s designed to surface fresh apps and hidden gems, not just the same handful of hits.

Trending

A pure all-time engagement ranking — the apps the whole community has loved most. No freshness boost here; it’s the leaderboard of what’s big.

​
Filter by category

Category chips sit at the top of the feed. Tap All apps for everything, or narrow to one of the seven categories, which Whip assigns to each app automatically:
  • Sports & Fitness
  • Entertainment
  • Gaming
  • Food & Lifestyle
  • Tech & Internet
  • Style & Self-care
  • Money & Career

​
What a feed card shows

Each card is a snapshot of an app:
  • The visuals carousel — swipe through images and video, including video that plays in the card.
  • The creator’s name and handle.
  • Engagement counts: likes, comments, saves, and remixes.
  • The published date.
  • A Try Whip button to play it instantly.
Double-tap a card to like it — you’ll get a little heart animation. Liking, saving, and remixing all help the creator get discovered, so tapping that heart genuinely matters.

​
How ranking works, honestly

Whip’s For You ranking rewards the actions that show people really value an app. In plain terms, here’s roughly how the signals stack up:
  • A remix counts most — about 3× a like.
  • A save counts about 2× a like.
  • A comment counts about 1.5× a like.
  • A like is the baseline.
  • Recent plays give an app a lift, so apps people are actually opening rise.
On top of that, brand-new published apps get a fair-shot boost for roughly their first day, so a great new app isn’t instantly buried by older ones. And your own plays don’t pump your own app — opening your creation yourself won’t game the feed.
Trending works differently: it’s pure all-time engagement, with no freshness boost. That’s why a long-loved app can sit at the top of Trending while newer apps shine in For You.

​
App of the Day

Once a day, Whip picks one App of the Day for everyone, and sends a heads-up at 10 AM your local time. The pick favors the most-loved app first published in the last week, and no app repeats within a month — so the spotlight keeps moving to new creators. It’s a real shot at the spotlight for a great recent app.

Common questions

The feed’s two tabs are For You and Trending. When you follow creators, you’ll get notified when they publish.
Publish it. Once public, your app can appear in For You and Trending and under its category — with a fair-shot boost for its first day.
No. Opening your own app doesn’t boost it in the feed — ranking is about how other people engage.
