About HeyU

In one line

HeyU is a social app for finding friends, community and support, made by Shadow Particle in Stockholm.

In a paragraph

HeyU helps people meet new friends, find a community or get some support, whether they're new in town, learning a language or looking for company. Profiles lead with what people are looking for and what they like, a chat opens only when two people both say yes, and every photo is checked before anyone sees it. HeyU isn't a dating app. It's free on iPhone, iPad and Mac, in 23 languages, and made by Shadow Particle, an independent studio in Stockholm, Sweden.
