Let's Go
Adventure Club
App

Project Summary

Let's Go has built something real — a community that shows up, books trips, and keeps coming back. The next step is bringing everyone into one place you own and build on. The Let's Go Adventure Club App is that platform — one app on both iOS and Android, purpose-built for how Let's Go actually runs, and ready to grow with you.

What we're solving

• A platform to bring your whole community together
• A centralised place to discover and attend events across the entire UK
• Easy booking for trips and events
• Growing the community in one spot
• Going beyond what WeMeet offers

Available on

• iOS (iPhone)
• Android
• All users from the get go

Core Features Overview

V1 is everything you need to get the app out there and start building your user base. These are the core things that really matter right now.

Event Feed & Discovery

This is the heart of the app. People open it up, and they instantly see what's happening near them — whether that's auto-detected or they pick a city themselves.

How it works

• Auto-detects your location or lets you pick a city/region
• Shows events by cities, regions, and trips
• Activity groups like hiking, paddleboarding, yoga, etc.
• Smart suggestions — even if someone hasn't selected paddleboarding, it might still be worth showing them

What each event shows

Field	What it does
Title	Name of the event
Vibe	Hike, social, trip — so people know what they're getting into
Date & Time	When it's happening
Who's going	See other people who've joined
Quick Join	One tap and you're in
Description	All the details you send over
WhatsApp Link	Jump straight into the event group chat

Event Creation & Profiles

Event Creation — Keep it simple

Users can create events themselves. Nothing goes live until you've approved it — keeps the quality up without creating extra work.

Just these fields:

• Title
• Description
• Location
• Time
• Category

User Profiles

Everyone gets a profile that shows:

• Name and photo
• Events attended — where they've been
• Future events — what they've signed up for
• Social proof — builds trust and shows they're active in the community

RSVP / Join System

• Tap → you're in — that's it
• See who else is going
• Ticket goes straight to your wallet (Apple Wallet / Google Wallet)
• QR-Code scan at the door for easy check-in

Cities, Notifications & Email

City-Based Structure

Everything's organized by city so people see what's relevant to them:

• Leeds
• Manchester
• London
• Easy to add more cities as you expand
• Auto-detect nearest city — if the user enables location, we pre-select their closest city automatically. This also lays the groundwork for smarter, location-aware notifications down the line.

Push Notifications

This is where you keep people coming back. The right message at the right time:

Type	Example
Social Proof	"40 people going tonight in Leeds"
Urgency	"Last 5 spots left!"
Relevance	"New event near you"
New Offer	"New trip just launched!"
Seasonal	"Feeling like you want some winter sun?"

Email System

Emails that actually get opened — personalized based on what people are into:

• "Here's what's coming up in Leeds next week"
• "20 people are going to this event — are you in?"

Technical Implementation

Recommended Technology Stack

Area	Technology	Benefit
Mobile App	React Native	Single codebase for iOS & Android
Backend / API	Node.js with Supabase	Scalable, real-time capable
Database	PostgreSQL	Reliable, geo-capable
Auth	OAuth 2.0 / Social Login	Easy registration
Push	Firebase Cloud Messaging	iOS & Android covered
Email	SendGrid / Resend	Personalized campaigns
Tickets	Wallet API (Apple/Google)	Native integration
Hosting	Digital Apes Infrastructure	Predictable costs with plenty of room to grow

Project Phases

Phase	Content
1. Discovery & Design	Requirements analysis, wireframes, UI/UX design
2. Development V1	All core features (Event Feed, Profiles, RSVP, Tickets, Push, Email)
3. Testing & QA	Functional, performance, and usability testing
4. Launch	Publication on App Store & Google Play Store

Future Enhancements

V1 is deliberately lean — just enough to get the app into people's hands and start building real momentum. But the exciting part is what comes after. During our conversation you lit up about a few of these ideas, and honestly so did we. This is where the app goes from useful to something people genuinely can't put down.

Where we go next

Some of these came straight out of our conversation — ideas you hadn't considered yet that we think could really set the app apart:

Revenue & Monetisation

• Payment Integration — Pay for events and trips right in the app. This turns the app from a discovery tool into a booking platform — and unlocks your GBP 595–995 trip revenue directly.
• Trip Planning — Proper booking for multi-day trips with itineraries, pricing tiers, and group management. This is the big one — where the real money is.

Community & Engagement

• In-App Messaging — Let people chat directly, like WeMeet does. Replaces the last reason anyone still needs Facebook Groups.
• Social Features — Friends list, activity feed, recommendations. People come for the events, stay for the people.
• Gamification — Badges, streaks, rewards — keep people coming back. "Adventure streak: 5 weekends in a row" is the kind of thing people screenshot and share.
• Rating System — Rate events and organizers so the best ones rise to the top. Quality control that runs itself.
• Location-Based Push — Notify people when there's an event happening near where they are right now
• Post-Event Follow-Up — After an event, automatically ask if they enjoyed it — then surface the next relevant thing based on what they went to

Operations & Growth

• Admin Dashboard Pro — A proper web-based backend with stats, user management, and event analytics. See what's working and double down.
• Advanced Search Filters — Filter by distance, date, price, how many people are going. The more events you have, the more this matters.
• Re-Engagement Automation — Win back people who've gone quiet — smart nudges based on what they used to attend
• Review Optimisation — After a trip, ask for a soft in-app rating. Unhappy? Route them to private feedback. Happy? Send them straight to the App Store to leave a review. Grows ratings without risking bad public reviews.
