Right now the About button just shows the same Hostel Hawk popup from when the site loads; clicking it while it's already displayed does nothing. But I'll add more info about the site soon and fix that.
Basically you can explore the map and see what cities are most popular with travelers right now. You can zoom in and check out how many travelers are staying (approximately) at the tops hostels. The app also displays ratings weighed by number of reviews, so a hostel with only one review and a high rating won't outrank another one with thousands of reviews but a slightly lower rating.
My ultimate goal is to make finding popular sociable hostels super easy and ultra quick.
