Frequently Asked Questions
Why?
Traditional social media feels a lot like junk food—quick, addictive, and leaving you craving something real. Hangerang is the healthier alternative, designed to turn virtual connections into real-world experiences that actually matter.
How do I connect with people on the app?
Your mutual phone contacts are your friends on the app. As more folks sign on, you should see more people appear in your Mutuals panel. If you remove a mutual’s contact entry in your phone, the link to that mutual on the app will be severed.
What Is An Itch?
An Itch is whatever you’re “itching to do” at any given moment. Perhaps you really want to grab a burger with someone, or go on a hike, or you might have an extra ticket to a concert. All qualify as an “Itch”.
How many friends should I expect to have on the app?
We’re about quality not quantity. If you have a dozen Mutuals on the app and have experienced some great Hangs, then you’re a success!
Is this a dating app?
Not really? Hangerang is not meant to replace Match.com, Bumble, and their ilk. We suppose you could use it to make a date, but this isn’t the intended use. We encourage deeper connection and more IRL activity. If that leads to romance, who are we to stop it?
What if I don’t want my aunt Carol to see what I’m up to?
There are two things you can do. You can set your aunt Carol to Ghost mode, which will hide all of your activity from her. Or, when you are setting up an Itch, you can create and broadcast to certain Groups perhaps excluding your aunt Carol.
