See what people near you are doing today — and join in. Hellohood shows real plans around you on a map: a coffee at 5, football in the park, a hike on Sunday, a language exchange tonight. Tap a bubble, see who's going, and join with one tap. A group chat opens so you can say hi before you meet. Works in any city — at home or on a trip.

Invite friends to a plan right in the app. Send photos in group and city chats and give your group a photo. See when your message was seen and when someone is typing. Edit a message you just sent, and hosts can pin the meeting point to the top of the chat. Weekly events show once with their other dates. Plus a polished dark mode, an easier sign-in and many fixes. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-28 New: invite friends with your own link — 3 friends who join make you a Connector, and the first 1,000 people get a Founding Neighbour number for good. Friends without the app can say “I’m in” on a shared plan link. New in town? Join this month’s “New in Munich” group under Communities. New: Trips — add where you're going, see who's there on your dates and what's on, and join the city chat before you land. Free, no trip pass. Happening nearby: free walking tours, parkruns and more in your city – go together with Hellohood people. Your city chat now carries your real city name, and a quiet map shows who is around. Rate meetups with stars and send private notes to our team. Share plans with a preview card and invite a friend after joining. Chat with us in Help & support. Faster selfie check, a cleaner profile and map, tidier chats (cancelled plans clear away, swipe to remove), layouts that fit every screen and text size, and many fixes. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-26 Now in 6 languages (English, Deutsch, العربية, Español, Português, Türkçe). Ideas for real places when a city is still quiet. Mute or delete direct chats. Add plans to your calendar. Safer reporting, a "view as a man" preview for women, official Google and Apple sign-in, and many fixes. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-24 No release notes. ## More apps by Marwan Atia - [سكينة: علاج الأرق والنوم](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/id6792320773) - [VetClaim: VA Disability](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vetclaim-va-disability/id6800718621) - [Meadow: Menopause Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/meadow-menopause-tracker/id6805174162) - [Cancelo: Subscription Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cancelo-subscription-tracker/id6805267502) All apps by Marwan Atia: https://appshunter.io/developer/1873717928 ## Related topics [atia](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/atia) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
