Hot Take

Support & Help

HOT TAKE is a free daily poll app about the arguments people actually have. Pick a side, then see how the country voted. Need a hand, spotted a bug, or want a take removed? We're quick to reply.

Frequently asked

How do I play?

Each screen is one take with two sides. Tap the side you believe — that's the whole input. The results appear instantly: how the whole country voted, then the breakdown by generation. Swipe sideways for the next take.

What is "the drop"?

Ten brand-new takes land every day. The counter in the header shows how many of today's you've judged. Below them sits the full archive, so the feed never runs out — but the drop is the reason to come back tomorrow, and it's what builds your streak.

Can I pick a topic?

Yes. The row of chips under the header filters the feed: FOOD CRIMES, LOVE & WAR, MONEY FIGHTS, TEXTING CRIMES and the rest. Tap ALL to go back to everything.

What is MOST SPLIT?

A board of the takes closest to an exact 50/50 split this week. A take only lands there once enough people have voted and neither side is winning comfortably, so early on it may say it's warming up. Tap any take on the board to pick your side.

What is THE MIRROR?

After about five votes, the App works out who you are from how you vote — whether you side with the majority or against it, and which generation you actually vote like, even if it isn't your own. It gets more accurate with every vote.

Can I submit my own take?

Yes. Tap the gold + TAKE chip under the header, write your take and its two sides, and submit it. It's checked against the house rules automatically, and if it clears, it drops into the feed for the whole country to vote on. You can submit up to three a day, and you'll see the status of each one — on trial, live, or rejected with the reason. When one goes live you'll get a notification (if you allow them), and you can send friends a link straight to it.

My take was rejected. Why?

The App only runs everyday arguments — food, etiquette, relationships, money, work, family, travel, texting, and petty household wars. Anything touching politics, identity groups, tragedy or violence, profanity, real brands, or links is rejected automatically. The rejection message tells you which rule it hit, so you can rewrite and try again.

How do I report a take?

Every take has a REPORT THIS TAKE link at the bottom of the card. Enough reports pull it from the App automatically and immediately. You can also email us and we'll remove anything that shouldn't be there.

How do I send a take to a friend?

After you vote, tap START A FIGHT ABOUT IT. Your friends get a link: if they have HOT TAKE it opens straight to that take, and if they don't, it shows them the take and where to get the App.

Do I need an account?

No. There are no accounts, logins, emails, or passwords. Everything is anonymous. The trade-off is that your votes and streak live on that device — deleting the App or switching phones starts you fresh.

How do I turn the music off?

Tap the 🔊 toggle in the header to mute or unmute. Your choice is remembered.

How is my data handled?

HOT TAKE has no accounts and collects no personal details. Your votes and streak are stored on your device. Our backend receives each vote with a random device ID — never your name or contact details — so it can count one vote per device, and it only ever shows per-generation totals. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.

I found a bug / have feedback.
