PLUS HEYLO IS…

FREE TO USE
No paywall to get started, no usage limits, and no ads. Heylo makes money by collecting a small percentage when you collect payments.

A SAFE SPACE
Make your entire group private, host private events accessible only to selected members of your group, and screen new members before allowing them to join.

Collect private member information securely, whether you're hosting brunches and need to know dietary restrictions, or signing up for running races with age and gender requirements.

Remove or delete anything in your group, including messages, members, or events. You have control. Export your member info anytime.


WHAT GROUP LEADERS SAY
“In our first year on Heylo, paid members increased 3x to over 600. We had to set a cap. I can’t believe how seamless Heylo is.” - Steve Finley, Brooklyn Track Club

“Super user-friendly. There are even some older players—in their 70s—who use Heylo without issue. Heylo has made a tremendous impact on how much the group plays—a great thing for everyone.” - Mike Smith, Ragle Beach Volleyball

“Collecting payment in advance of our classes brought our no-show rate down from 50% to zero.” - Romain, San Francisco Beach Volleyball

Ratings and reviews

Won't open, just purple screen. Both my Androids. Even tried on a windows computer. Nothing, completely broken. **Edit, they say there's a supposed update even though the last update was on the 9th. i'm having current problems. It doesn't work. It doesn't seem like they're doing any kind of testing. **same auto response. ** final a update!! Wait.. it doesn't work. This is getting funny. 🫠 if it's apple only, just remove it from the android store..

Android- App is always laggy and buggy, but today I clicked on a notification, and it sent me to my account with no groups. This happens a lot but this time it wouldn't go away and I had nothing saved except I was still on my account. So I left my account and when I try to log in the spinning wheel comes up and doesn't go away (stayed for a solid 10m). So I uninstalled and reinstalled that app, but nothing changed, so now I can't get in the app. If this gets fixed I will give it a 4 star.

Android Issues - Google Pixel phone will load the app and conversations initially, but after typing a sentence or so it will lag and not display the characters being typed for a good 30 seconds or so. After I wait for this the message won't send. I have to close and re open the app. I've tried reinstalling the app, but that didn't seem to help. Update: it seems to be time driven instead of characters. It happens both in group chat and dm.
