The app works easily by providing users with an array of [meetups scheduled in their community](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/letsfinallymeet) that they can RSVP to, which will then be organized according to age on the day of an event. This aids users in their bid to connect with others in their age range for a more social experience. The 'Flying Pig' app also provides users the ability to [create their very own events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-1) to see who else is available or also wants to connect on a similar activity. The app is free to use and only requires users to reserve a spot to get involved. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 25% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Age-specific Meetups:** Tools like 'Flying Pig' enable users to easily identify and join age-targeted social gatherings within their communities. - **User-generated Events:** Allowing users to create and host their own events fosters a customizable and engaging social environment. - **Interest-based Networking:** Connecting people based on shared interests enhances the potential for meaningful and lasting social interactions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Social Networking Apps:** Applications focused on community-oriented connections are transforming how people network and socialize. - **Event Planning Platforms:** Platforms that simplify event organization and participation are streamlining how people engage in local activities. - **Age-specific Services:** Services that cater to specific age demographics are emerging to better address the nuanced social needs of different age groups. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Activity Focused Socialization Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sosocial-app.md) - [Travel Networking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floo.md) - [Canine-Centric Meetup Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canine-centric-meetup-app.md) - [AI-Powered Socialization Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bu-app.md) - [Hobby-Based Socialization Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hobbimate-app.md) - [Social Gathering-Scheduling Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momentitos-app.md) - [Event Social Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opee.md) - [Calendar-Coordinating Social Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clyx-app.md) - [Connective Travel Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-apps1.md)
