✅ Core Community & Member Interaction

  1. Authentication – Let users register, log in and create profiles. Essential for any community or club where access or personalisation is key.

  2. Community – Display a list of members in the app, allow people to discover others and optionally display them on a map. Great for building connection within your group.

  3. User Groups – Segment your members into defined groups (e.g., volunteers, teams, sponsors) and control who sees what content.

  4. Chat – Add real-time messaging so members can communicate directly inside the app. Particularly useful for clubs, teams, support communities or active groups.

  5. Submission Section – Let users send photos, text or videos into the app. Useful for sharing stories, event recaps, volunteer updates or community posts.

📣 Communication & Engagement

  1. Push Notifications – Send updates, reminders or news directly to users’ devices to keep them engaged.

  2. Automatic Push Notifications – Automate alerts triggered by published content or events so members never miss crucial news.

  3. Form Integration – Collect data, surveys, registrations or feedback from members using forms (Standard form, Jotform, Typeform, SurveyMonkey).

📆 Event & Calendar Tools

  1. CMS Agenda / Events – Publish and manage your events calendar inside the app so members can see what’s coming. 

📊 Member Tools & Discovery

  1. Advanced Search – Add powerful search and filters so users can find people or content inside the user list quickly.

  2. User Sorting / Filtering – Sort members by group, activity, registration date or last connection. Helps clubs and charities understand their audience.

💡 Extra Enhancements (Nice to Have)

  1. App Walkthrough – Provide a guided introduction for new users so they understand how to use the app.

  2. Geofencing / iBeacons – Trigger notifications or content based on users’ location, useful for event days or local group meetups.

  3. Offline Content – Make key content available even without an internet connection. Good for events or remote areas.
