How can I invite my guest? Why some contacts have small Hub App icon next to their number?
In the Invitation creation screen, you can click on (+) next to invitees, and the app will display your phone book to select your guest, after you grant The Hub App the permission to access your phone book.
If you see a small Hub App icon next to any number in your phonebook, it means that those users are already registered in the app.
Can I create contacts group?
Yes, you can go to settings (or invitees selection in the invitation screen) and you click on my groups to create a group. Creating a group will make it easier to invite the same group without having to add each one separately each time you create an event. When creating an invitation and you clicked on (+) to add the invitees, you will find Groups are displayed on the upper section of the contacts page. You can add everyone in the group with one click.
Is my guest list visible?
The host while creating the event can select to enable or disable the display of the guest list. If the host turns on this feature, then the guests will see the guest list. Invitees will see the names of the guests they same way they have them stored in their phone book, not how the Host saved them. If the phone number is not registered in the phonebook, then their name will be displayed as how they saved it in the app.
Can I share the location? Is location mandatory at invitation creation?
In the Invitation creation screen, you can add location by clicking on the red icon or the location field. When you click, Google Map Integrated screen will open. You can type the address or drop a pin if the location is not a public place. If the location is a public place, then we recommend that you type the name in google search bar, and click on it when the results show up, to make it easier for your guest to arrive easily to such location
If you don’t know the location when creating the invitation or you don’t want to share the location detail until closer to the invitation date or time, you can turn off the location from the invitation creation screen. Turning off the location will enable you to send the invitation without a location.

If I am creating an invitation that will take place at another country, what time should I select?
Hub App will always use the time zone of the location of the event. For example, if the host is currently in New York, and wants to create an event in London. If host selected 8PM, and the location of the event selected in in London, then it will be 8PM in London time zone, not New York time zone.
If no location is selected, then The Hub App will use the current time zone of the Host at event creation.

Chat is a way for the everyone to send messages and updates to the guests if needed. Everyone can post videos, pictures, files, with a size of up to 5MB per message. The host can also Pin or Delete any message at any time.
