Such a smart way to find new activities or the right vibe. I typically scour reviews on other apps or sites to make my food/entertainment decisions but Hugah has saved me so much time and has eliminated guess work or disappointment. ### 5/5 — SO HELPFUL AND FUN! *2021-08-20* There really isn’t an app like this. It shows a Live Capacity feature when trying to scout out bars and restaurants to try. I LOVE THAT! You, literally can see, on the spot, if a bar or restaurant is busy or not while on the app. SO COOL! I, also love how interactive it is and you can see what other users are doing, especially if you’re visiting somewhere for the first time and you need a bit of help to find things to do. I can’t wait to try it in more places! ### 5/5 — Hugah *2021-08-20* This app is amazing!! It shows where the hotspots are in the area, if you’re looking for good people with good vibes at chill places, I’d recommend this app for you! Can’t wait to see it grow and evolve, keep it up team!! ### 5/5 — The vibes are 10/10 *2021-08-20* Love the app for finding the right vibe for my mood. I’m pretty anxious in social situations so it’s great to be able to prepare myself before I arrive! Can’t wait for it to expand to other areas ### 5/5 — The vibes *2021-08-20* Yelp is cool and what not, but what it doesn’t do is give the current vibes of what you are looking for. I used to look up and Instagram location and hit recent to see the true look of a place including current weather and Hugah is better, easier and just a whole lot more fun to use. I like how the app isn’t flooded with marketing or filtered photos. Feels more true and less sifting to find out where to go in the Bay Area ### 5/5 — Simple app, great concept *2021-08-20* Simple to use, it’s easy you show up somewhere new or can’t find something to do for the night and you want to know what’s going on around town. Simply open the app and see what looks fun that is close by. We usually want to interact with others and this is an easy way to join a fun event or “vibe” for the day/night. Great concept with potential ### 5/5 — We Need this everywhere. *2021-08-20, version 1.8.3* I visit the bay from time to time and I’m always wondering “what’s poppin?”Hugah helps me find what’s poppin and if it’s worth going. Can’t wait till it’s available in Los Angeles. ### 5/5 — Great App! Easy to use. *2021-08-20, version 1.8.3* A much needed app especially given the uncertain times we face. ### 5/5 — Beautiful interface and user friendly! *2021-08-20* Excellent app with a beautiful interface that is easy to use. It’s perfect for finding a local event that fits our current vibe. Strongly recommend!! ### 5/5 — Going to take off! *2021-08-20* This app is something that I’ve said I always needed so I can EASILY find fun places to go/things to do. I love how every place I click on shows me how far it is from my location, the address, and hours it’s open. I also LOVE the video feature in this app that’s similar to TikTok/IG Reels so I know what a place is like before going there. I really think everyone will be using this app once COVID is no longer a threat and we can live our lives again!! So so awesome- amazing idea!!!! ### 5/5 — Lovin it *2021-08-20, version 1.8.3* Highly recommend ### 5/5 — This is really cool *2021-08-20* Such an easy way to see what there is to do in my area. I like to go with the flow and this app helps me see where the parties at. Will you be adding any more cities soon? ### 5/5 — Great for planning date night *2021-08-20, version 1.8.3* I use the app when I’m in SF. Great for ideas of where to go out and the vibe feature and occupancy are super helpful. ### 5/5 — If you live/visit SF you probably need this *2021-08-20, version 1.8.3* Useful app 🙂 ### 5/5 — What’s happening and where *2021-08-20* As things start to open up again, it has been so helpful to know what’s happening and where. I want to see Hugah in more cities! ### 5/5 — It’s a VIBE *2021-08-20* This app has totally changed my social life! I LOVE being able to see how busy or slow a spot is in live time. Sometimes you want a poppin club..but other times you want somewhere quiet to catch up with the homies. I check Hugah every time I go out <3 ### 5/5 — The future of connection *2021-08-20* Im stoked with what these guys have put together and think that Hugah has something not just different, but also better than, what is currently mainstream. It’s an exciting time to see this coming together and the updates they are making in real time. I love the video ability to send and post. Keep it up! ### 5/5 — This app is fire! *2021-08-20, version 1.8.3* Love it! ### 5/5 — Been super useful as the Bay Area starts to reopen *2021-08-10* Solid app with a wonderful interface. Hugah has been really helpful not only in finding new places to checkout, but in finding the right vibe for the night. Sometimes you want a place that’s busy and lively, and other times you’re looking for something a bit more intimate. It’s great to know how your favorite spot is on any given day of the week. ### 5/5 — The app I didn’t know I needed *2021-08-07* Honestly really cool interface. I’ve been in the Bay Area for most of my life and always looking for cool places to check out. I was super pleased with the experience I had last week when looking for a fun event in sf with my girl. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Location *2020-07-25, version 1.1.2* Tried to use the location button in the upper right.
