## What is Hupeng?

In Tokyo, there's always someone to go with.

You want to hike on the weekend, ski in the winter, grab a drink after work — but going alone never quite happens. Hupeng turns those into real offline events: pick one, apply, get approved, join the group chat, show up, go.

■ No swiping, no matching

Hupeng is not a dating app. There is no one-to-one private messaging — conversation only happens inside an event's group chat. You meet a few people through an event, not by swiping through photos.

■ More reliable than a group chat, by design

· Organizer ratings are public — both sides review each other after every event, and the history stays visible
· Attendance rates are public — people who show up get credit, no-shows get recorded
· Conditions are stated up front — age, Japanese level, headcount, all before you apply
· Reporting and blocking are always one tap away

■ The platform never touches money

Event costs (lift tickets, boat fees, a split dinner bill) are set and collected by the organizer, in person. Hupeng takes no cut and is not a party to the transaction. There is no payment feature in the app.

■ What's inside

· Discover — filter by category, area and date, or let it rank by what you're into
· Apply — organizers review each applicant; full events start a waitlist that promotes automatically
· Group chat — you're added when you're approved; meeting point and time changes land here
· Event day — a morning reminder, a one-tap "I'm on my way", and a code to check yourself in
· Add to calendar — written into your system calendar, with reminders the day before and two hours out
· Notes — people write up the day afterwards, so the next person knows what to bring
· Points — host one, attend one, write it up. Only things that actually happened count

■ 18 and over

You enter your birth year and month at sign-up, and under-18 registration is rejected. Your age and gender are never shown to other users — only the organizer of an event you applied to sees an age band, while reviewing your application.

Starting in Tokyo.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.3 — 2026-11-06

• Giveaways: @ one person in the comments and only they are notified. Givers can undo a pick before the handover.
• Swipe through all of an event's cover photos, and tap event and giveaway photos to view them full size. When editing an event, you can remove a single cover photo.
• Fixed the keyboard getting stuck after going back, and a jitter when swiping down to close a photo.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-11-04

• Ask the organizer: post a question on the event page before you apply, and the organizer answers it publicly. Organizers can turn this off.
• Group chats: long-press a message to react, reply, copy, edit or unsend; swipe right to quote-reply; see when someone is typing; scroll up to load earlier messages.
• Giveaway areas are now chosen by prefecture.
• Rate Hupeng on the App Store from the Me tab.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-11-02

• New categories: Indoor Games (mahjong, billiards…), Ball Sports (tennis, badminton…) and Festivals & Shows. Picking a category now shows what it covers.
• Areas are now chosen by prefecture (Tokyo 23 wards, Tama, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba and more).
• The "+" button is back at the bottom right of Discover.
• Group chats: the input clears after sending a dictated message, photo zoom is smoother, chats for cancelled events stay in your message list (only the organizer can post after cancelling), and events you haven't been approved for no longer appear there.

### 1.1 — 2026-11-01

• iPhone Duo support: unfold it for a side-by-side layout with the list and details together.
• New Giveaways: give things you no longer need to someone who does, for free, handed over in a public place.
• Notes can now include videos and Live Photos, and photos open full screen.
• Events and notes are reviewed before they go live, and you'll be notified of the result.
• A new getting-started guide, plus lots of small fixes.
