Changed the meet-up time?
Who hasn't seen it?

Kinhop is for families and friends going places together. When plans change, everyone taps Got It themselves. You can tell at a glance who's confirmed, who's seen it but not confirmed, and who hasn't seen it yet. Remind the rest in one tap, or just give them a call.

The problem

Saying it once in the group chat
doesn't mean everyone knows

Sending it isn't the hard part. Knowing it was received is. In the hour before leaving, the organizer keeps asking everyone the same question.

01

The message got buried

The time change is lost under a pile of photos and voice notes. The sender thinks it's been said; the others never scrolled that far.

02

No reply: didn't see it, or forgot?

A group chat can't tell you. You end up messaging people one by one and waiting for each reply.

03

The people who most need to know are the hardest to reach

Grandparents rarely check their phones, kids don't have one, and some relatives aren't even in your group chat.

The one thing

We do one thing really well:
changes that reach everyone

When the time or place changes, everyone gets a confirmation. On the organizer's home screen, people fall into four groups, each with a clear next step.

✓

Confirmed

They tapped Got It themselves. Once they're here, you can stop worrying.

!

Seen, not confirmed

The ones to call: they saw it, but may not have taken it in. We pull them out on their own.

→ Call
·

Not seen yet

They haven't opened it. Send a reminder first; no need to bother them yet.

→ Remind in one tap
↗

Can't notify

People without the app are marked separately, not mixed in with "not seen yet."

→ Send a personal link

Confirmations only move forward: not seen → seen → confirmed. The count goes up on its own; no need to refresh.

From chat to change

Agreed in chat?
One tap makes it official

Talk it over in the group chat as usual. It only counts once the organizer sends it. A passing comment never changes the schedule on its own.

01

Someone says it in the group

"Let's make it 9. 8:30 is too early."

MomLet's make it 9
02

Long-press: Turn into Change

The time and place carry over. Check it, then send.

03

Everyone confirms

Who's confirmed and who's still missing stays on your home screen.

Everyone counts

No one left out

Some people on every trip won't install an app, or don't have a phone. They still count among the 8.

G

Grandparents

No app, no sign-up. The personal link from the organizer opens the same invitation card as the app: their next item, the full schedule, and a Got It button. The page shows in Chinese or English based on the browser.

K

Kids

Kids don't need an account. Changes that affect them go to a guardian, who confirms for them.

R

Relatives on Android or a computer

The organizer sends them a personal link. They can see the schedule and confirm right in the browser.

O

Organizers

Remind and Call sit right next to anyone who hasn't confirmed. Phone numbers are visible only to organizers and the same family.

Also in one place

Everything else, in one place

Schedule calendar

Month, week, day, and hour views, with a whole trip shown as one stretch. Add an end time and a picture to any item. Up Next sits at the top of your home screen, in the event's local time.

Invites & sharing

Invites go out as a cover card. Opening it plays a short intro, and joining shows a welcome page. Share through WhatsApp, iMessage, LINE, or WeChat, and choose who gets in: Open, Ask Me, or Closed.

Group & private chats

Send text, emoji, photos (up to 9 at a time), videos (up to 3 minutes), and files. Group and friend nicknames are visible only to you, and you can only add friends you've shared an event with.

Full-quality album

Everyone's photos go into one album. Browse by day, like and comment, view originals, and save them to your phone.

Photos without your location

Location data is removed before upload; the picture and time taken stay exactly the same. Where your home or school is doesn't travel with the original.

English / 中文

Switch languages in the app any time, no restart needed. The web page follows your browser's language. Families spread across countries can all use it.

Bigger text

Text follows your phone's size setting, and Large Text Mode makes text and buttons bigger in one tap.

Report & block

Long-press a message, photo, or comment to report it. We review reports within 24 hours. Once you block someone, neither of you sees the other's messages.

iPhone & Mac

One account on both. Check the schedule, confirm, chat, and browse photos on your Mac too. On iPhone, the app icon shows your unread count.
