Connecting the Real World.
The people you'd get along with are already going where you go. Some of them are your friends. Some you haven't met yet. Hot Spots shows you both.

Technology brought us online. Hot Spots brings us back together.
Every place you go has its own community page inside the app. Your café has one. So does your gym, your office, your mosque, and the restaurant you keep going back to.
Start with one place. Pick the one you go to most, search it in Hot Spots, and join. That's the whole thing.
Free on iPhone and Android · live in 52 citiesEvery place you love is already full of people worth meeting.
Every café, gym and restaurant has its own community — open one and see which of your friends are members, and who's checked in right now.
Check-ins, posts, and stories from the people and places you follow.
Chat with friends and message the venues you love, right in the app.
Profiles are built on real places, not posts. See the spots someone returns to every week.
The heart of Hot Spots — the feature no other social app has. Turn a visit into a shared moment: check in, bring a friend along, and share one live countdown until you both check out.
Bring someone along, set how long you'll be there, and confirm.
You've joined the venue's community — and you can see who else is here right now.
Your friend joins with a single tap, and you're both on it — no group chat required.
You both share one live countdown until checkout — so friends can find you while you're there.
Group chats are where plans go to die. A meetup in Hot Spots is anchored to a real venue, with a real time and a real guest list — so "we should do this sometime" turns into everyone showing up on Saturday.
Pick a place, a time, and who's coming. Keep it invite-only for friends — or open it to the community so anyone nearby can find it and ask to join.
RSVPs update live, everyone can see the guest list, and a group chat comes built in so the people going can sort out the details.
Hosting, going, invited — every meetup you're part of, in date order, so nothing gets lost in a chat thread.
Hot Spots isn't just for people — it's a home for the places they love. Cafés, gyms, and venues get a branch-level presence to reach their members directly: post updates, run offers, host events, and see who's walking through the door.
Post, announce, and track your community's health in one place.
Run an offer with a discount and an expiry date, and post it to your venue's community.
Host events and let members RSVP, book, and show up.
Hot Spots is out now on iPhone and Android, and open in 52 cities across 24 countries, each with at least 300 venues mapped. Another 70 cities are seeded and opening as they clear the bar.
Hot Spots is built in Dubai. We're on a simple mission: use technology to build real-life connections — starting with the places you already go every day.
