Challenging to navigate compared to Meetup

Great app, easy to use!

My hiking group was being hugely gouged for money on a different social app and we just had to leave. Luckily, one of our members discovered Heylo. Since getting set up in it, we have found it works smoothly, makes using it easy, and it is not glitchy like the other one was. Very simple and easy to use. We love Heylo!

Buggy

Installed the app on iPhone and it asked for access to add events to calendar, so I granted add access only but it didn’t accept that. Then granted full access to calendar and it didn’t even add the event to the calendar. Bad first experience

New and now True to It

Started using this app once I move to a new state. And joined a volunteer/welcoming community. It’s a very clean and clear access accessible and links share very well to add more people to it. I love the ability to have a subgroup a sub conversation/chat

No Customer Support Available

I'm sure it's a great app, if only I could access its features. I've spent the past week putting in Customer Service requests through the Help Chat and several e-mails, but it's all crickets 🦗
