Pop In is the easy way to actually see your friends in real life — the casual, drop-by kind of hanging out that used to just happen. Remember when seeing your friends didn't take a whole group chat? Somewhere along the way, every hang turned into a thread that never lands on a time. Pop In brings back the easy, low-effort version. FOUR WAYS TO OPEN THE DOOR Pop Up — "I'm free right now." Free this afternoon? Say so, and friends drop in if they can. No big deal, just "I'm around." Plan — "I'm doing this. Join in." Set the dinner, the game night, the cookout. Friends see it and can pop in. No "are you coming?" text needed. Party — "You're cordially invited." For the big ones and the small ones too. A real invitation, sent to exactly who you want. Post — "Putting this out there." Spotted a band, a market, a free movie in the park? Pass it along, and a friend can turn it into a plan. LESS PLANNING, MORE HANGING OUT Tag your friends by crew — work, besties, the LA people — so a plan reaches just the right ones. Chat lives inside each plan, so everything stays in one place — for making it happen, not endless texting. Use polls to sort out the when and where of the next group hang. Co-hosts can help run it — edits, polls, the bring list, the chat — so it's not all on one person. Set the table: add what you love and what you can't eat, so friends know what's good to bring. No judgment. Pop In is free for all the everyday popping in. If you host a lot and want extra tools, Pop In Planner is an optional subscription. Private by default — no public feed, no strangers, no tracking. More hanging out, way less hassle. See your people. Pop In Planner subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Deciding together got easier. Send a poll before anything's locked — friends tap the times that work, you see how many answered, and when you're ready, you pick the winner and the real invites go out. People who voted for the winning time see "That works — I'm in." Plans still deciding their date sit in their own "Still deciding" spot on your Plans tab, not scattered through your calendar. And if a plan needs a pause, set it aside quietly and bring it back whenever. Invite people you've just asked to be friends with. Pick them when you make the plan — they see nothing until they accept, and the moment they do, the plan is already there waiting. Photos got a real home. Every image you've used on your plans and posts lives in "Used Images" — reuse one anywhere with two taps, or tidy up the ones you're done with. Adding a photo now shows its progress and speaks up if it doesn't come through, instead of leaving you guessing. Chat links look like they should — a real preview card, like the ones you share in Messages, tappable and readable. Faster and steadier everywhere: notification taps land where they point, chats stay live, and the app opens instantly with what it already knows. New friends stay pinned at the top of People with a NEW tag until you say hi. And when a host moves a plan, the heads-up tells the whole story — "Sunday, 7pm to 5pm" — and lands in your Activity feed too, so a missed notification never means a missed change. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-20 This one's about seeing your people — literally. Plans now show who's in, right on the card — faces and names, before you even tap. And joining feels like something happened: a little beat, a check, then "You're in." Every plan card wears a proper calendar chip now — the day, the date, the time — readable at a glance, and it follows light and dark mode. It says TODAY and TMRW when it's close. Your day leads your Home. Anything you've got going today sits right under your greeting, steps forward 30 minutes before it starts, and becomes "happening now" at start time. Faster everywhere: the app opens in one beat — even on a quiet morning — and plans, pop ups, and chats open instantly with what's already known, filling in fresh details as they arrive. Open to share: flip it on, and the people who joined can pass your plan along to their own friends. The guest list shows who brought whom. Party invitations stay invitation-only. Made something great? Run it back — same crew, same photo, same time-of-day — from any past plan, in one tap. Little honesty fixes throughout: plans default to a couple of hours (parties get four) instead of "until midnight," saving an idea for later keeps your photo, ending a plan ends it everywhere immediately, and plans now say who they're open to — "Open to a few," "Open to many" — so a group invite never reads like a personal summons. Who you invited stays yours: friends see that a plan is open to a few or to many, never the list behind it. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-13 Pop In just got faster, friendlier, and more dependable. Faster: the app opens straight to your plans — no more waiting on a loading screen, and no re-loading every time you come back to Home. Steadier: plans you've joined stay put, even through network hiccups. And when your connection blips, you'll see a quiet "Reconnecting…" instead of an alarming banner. Friending is now always a two-way yes. When someone taps your invite link or scans your QR code, they ask to connect — and you decide in People. Your link can travel anywhere; only you choose who's in. Friend profiles got some love: • "Friends since" — tap to set when the friendship really started • "Invite to a plan" — one tap from their profile, and they're already on the invite • Plans together now counts every hang you've both been at • Sort your people A to Z, or by recently added Co-hosts are full joiners — the plan chat, "happening now," and reminders all work for them just like they do for hosts. Spot an open day on your calendar? Tap "Add plan" and the date's already set. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-02 We've been smoothing out the parts of planning that used to be a hassle, so more of your plans actually happen. Co-hosts can really help now. A co-host can edit the plan, run polls, manage the bring list, and join the chat, so it isn't all on one person. Need to remove someone from a plan? Hosts and co-hosts can now do that cleanly. Time polls now include a simple "can't make any of these times" option. Table now works for the whole group. Everyone can see the group's allergies and dietary needs with a count, so you know what's safe to bring. Names stay private. Friend-invite links now open with a clean preview. Plus fixes to chat, reminders, and the "happening now" moments. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-06-23 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
