The app is intended to be used in countries where coming out as LGBT is problematic (see LGBT rights by country or territory), but can be used in most countries in the world.[6] Many users of Hornet also use another similar MSM apps,[7] with Grindr, Scruff and Jack'd being the most popular in the United States.[8]
