# Women-Only Social Apps 'Shello' is a Free Community for Women to Chat on a Variety of Topics By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-01-23 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shello References: [betalist](https://betalist.com/startups/shello) & [shello](http://www.shello.com) The 'Shello' app comes as [women-only community](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/im-safe) where users can chat on a variety of topics to help share information with one another and learn. While many social and chat apps are open for all, this can inhibit some from feeling free to share their own ideas or ask questions on certain topics. This isn't the case with 'Shello' where girls and women can freely chat with one another regarding topics that might include [fertility, nutrition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-health-app1) or simply the latest episode of their favorite show. The 'Shello' app identifies the increased need for [safe spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shushh) that are created with specific groups in mind to ensure that knowledge can be gained and shared without having to deal with those who might just be there to cause problems. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Women-only Social Apps:** Opportunity for developing more social apps that cater specifically to women, creating safe spaces for them to connect and share information. - **Knowledge Sharing Communities:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for creating online communities focused on specific topics, allowing users to freely exchange information and learn. - **Safe Spaces for Niche Interests:** Potential for creating niche social platforms that provide safe spaces for people with specific interests to connect and engage. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Social Networking:** Opportunity for social networking platforms to develop features or separate apps that cater exclusively to women, creating a space for them to connect and build communities. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the technology sector to develop secure and private social apps that prioritize the safety and comfort of specific user groups. - **Health and Wellness:** Potential for health and wellness industries to create knowledge sharing platforms or apps tailored to women's health concerns, fostering a supportive environment for information exchange. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wellness-First Social Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/communia.md) - [Stereotype-Fighting Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunroom.md) - [Women-Focused Wellness Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genwell.md) - [Community Menopause Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-menopause.md) - [Inclusive Women's Health Forums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-online-health-community.md) - [Targeted Reproductive Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reproductive-health-app.md) - [Safe Stranger Chat Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisperly-app.md) - [Sexless Social Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sexless-social-app.md) - [Anonymous Social Wellness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-wellness1.md)
