Business profiles got a real upgrade. Bars, venues and other business accounts now have a proper page with hours, photos, links and announcements. Owners can edit all of it in one place, and each place gets a single map pin with its events and weekly schedule. HOPN now asks for location only while you are using the app. Save a spot. Favorite a business location and keep a private list of the places you want to come back to. Switch accounts. Stay signed in to up to five accounts and switch between them by holding down the profile tab. New to HOPN? A short walkthrough now shows you how it works. You can watch it again any time from Settings. Share anything. Posts, events, weekly schedules and venues all have a share button, and links open right to the thing you shared. Better check-ins. Crowded rooms and large venues suggest the right place more often, and a place your crew has saved will name your stop for you. Also in this update: a daily digest for activity you missed, hashtag suggestions, and a leader can now rename a pouch while it is running. Plus fixes across pouch chat, invites, check-ins and notifications.

Two new ways to plan, a smarter front door, and a large battery + offline pass. NEW: VACATIONS (multi-day pouches) Tap Plan on Home and you now pick "One night" or "A trip". A trip lets a host set a title, cover, date range and a start time per day, invite the crew once, and get a planned pouch waiting every night. One RSVP covers the whole trip and you can still sit out a day. There is one vacation-wide chat, nightly Morning Recaps are unchanged, and when the trip ends you get a Vacation Summary reel. Please test: create a 2-3 day vacation, invite someone, RSVP, opt out of one day, and check the Coming Up fold and the active-session chip. NEW: MERGE POUCHES Two crews out at once can now become one. Open a live pouch, tap Merge with another Pouch, send a request, and the other leader accepts. Members, chat and the map converge. Test the expiry and decline paths too. NEW: FIND PEOPLE Find Friends now opens a real discovery surface with contact matches and mutual suggestions. You can add and verify a phone number (Settings > Add Phone Number, or the Home nudge) so friends who have your number saved can find you. NOTIFICATIONS Filter chips on the Notifications tab. Likes and tagged replies now arrive as one digest push per person per type per 30 minutes instead of one each. Badge unlocks only notify on a first earn or a new tier, and new unlocks are flagged in Badges and Passport. Friday and Saturday at 6:30 PM you get a "start hopping" nudge plus a TONIGHT row on Home. Thirty minutes after a stop with no post yet you get a "Snap the crew" nudge. Recaps for trips that end in the afternoon or evening now hold their push until the next morning instead of firing the same day. FEED, HOME, TRIPS Reposts of the same original collapse into one grouped card, and the "X reposted" line opens the reposter's profile. Browsed Home shows a current-hop tile while you are out. You can tag people when sharing a trip. The in-trip post composer has a clearer "where is this post from?" picker. Planned itinerary stops can now be picked by browsing a map. BATTERY AND OFFLINE Six battery changes: realtime channels suspend while backgrounded mid-session, a two-stage parked heartbeat, coalesced analytics flushes and foreground bursts, and lazier recap rendering. Please report anything that feels stale or slow to update after unlocking your phone. On the offline side, check-ins now queue in a durable outbox and drain on reconnect, saved places work offline, the venue picker stays usable on bad service, and stops recovered late are stitched back into the right trip. Worth testing in a basement bar or airplane mode. FIXES Bigger camera shutter target. Front screen-flash photos are no longer dark. Wider comment reply field. Scroll position is kept when you come back from a profile or a follower list. The floating tab bar returns as the back swipe starts. Denied location now re-asks while hopping instead of failing silently. Hosted event pages scroll vertically only, and "Hosted by" opens the host. The back button no longer opens a long-press history menu. Keyboard dismisses on people search. RSVP bar no longer flashes on overscroll.

Referrals are here. Invite friends to HOPN and see who joins from your profile. Hop Off is live for Virginia Tech: Check the in-app rules page for how it works. New badges and stamps now notify you the moment you unlock them. Event hosts can let their guests invite people too. Plus fixes to the Hop Map mode picker and search, username suggestions at signup, keyboard handling on sheets, and Morning Recap sharing.

EVENTS ARE HERE Host a bar crawl, a birthday, a launch party. One invite link, one event page, and every Pouch that shows up lands under it. Build an itinerary so everyone knows where the night goes next, see who is coming, and let people join an open Pouch when they arrive. BIGGER POUCHES A Pouch now holds up to 100 people, so the whole party can ride together instead of splitting into groups. SEE WHERE THE NIGHT WENT Your crew's real paths now draw on the live map, on your Trip Summary, and in your Morning Recap. Watch the night take shape while it happens, then wake up and see everywhere everyone actually went. SIGN UP IN ONE SCREEN Start with Apple, Google, or just your phone number. One screen, no confirm-password step, and you can add a profile photo whenever you feel like it. SMOOTHER EVERYWHERE Pouch chat opens on your newest message, with double-tap reactions and cleaner grouping. Fixed the photo viewer, landscape camera shots, and dual capture. Keyboards stay out of your way. Tabs swipe faster. Automatic check-ins guess venue names far better than they used to.

- Swipe to go back, and swipe between tabs. Navigation finally feels the way it should. - The app opens instantly. Your feed, activity, and profile are there before you can blink. - Planned Pouches got a real group chat, cover photos, calendar reminders, and shorter invite codes that are easier to share. - Cleaner Passport with stamp sets grouped by type. - Better dual-camera capture, sharper share cards, and step counts on every trip surface. - Dozens of fixes across the feed, comments, profiles, maps, and trip tracking.
