About the App

Hingo is a social app designed to help you meet new people nearby, make friends, find people with similar interests, or connect for dating, traveling, and more. Whether you want to hang out now, find a travel buddy, or join local hangouts, Hingo makes social networking simple, fun, and real.

Project Overview

A mobile app for location-based group meetups

Hingo reimagines how people meet in real life. Built around time-limited group hangouts, the app lets users discover and join interest-based gatherings nearby โ€” from casual meetups and travel companions to business networking and social events.

The app was designed and developed for a bilingual audience, supporting both English and Arabic with full Left-to-Right and Right-to-Left interface layouts. Our team was responsible for cross-platform Flutter development and contributed to the UI/UX design of core product flows.

Results

Mobile App for iOS and Android

The goal was simple: to build a social mobile app where every interaction is fast, purposeful, and engaging. The result is an advanced platform for creating time-limited Hangouts โ€“ live, interactive groups that quickly connect people with shared interests and lead to real-world meetups.

Each Hangout runs on an optimized six-hour lifecycle, opening instantly, filling efficiently, and closing automatically to keep the feed fresh and interactions meaningful.

The app supports English and Arabic with seamless switching, and features an intuitive, frictionless design built for speed, clarity, and ease of use.

Client Feedback

We had a fantastic experience working with Web Design Sun team. They are highly skilled Flutter mobile app developers who delivered exactly what we needed. They worked on a very sharp timeline, completing tasks even ahead of the deadlines, and successfully achieved our project goals on time as promised. The app they created is of excellent quality and is now live on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We are extremely satisfied with their work and would be happy to collaborate with them again on any upcoming projects. Highly recommended!
