LetsHang is an app designed to help its users locate others who are in the mood to do the same thing at the same time as other users. Whether the desired activity is watching a movie, traveling, playing a sport or simply meeting for lunch, this app is great at finding a local companion for just about anything.
If a user is feeling particularly indecisive, one of the handiest features of the app is the ability to see the most popular activities nearby at a given moment, so that it's easy for a newcomer to join in. After choosing an activity, the app lets users send a chat request so that new friendships can be formed virtually, then in person.
Although it's easy to make a new "friend" by adding someone to Facebook, this app helps people to get started with forming more meaningful bonds by using shared interests offline to foster new friendships.
