Hunter Hayes has set motion for launching an app that would become a dedicated digital space for the fan community. The idea behind this app would be to unite the community and share exclusive content in a peaceful, humane manner. From there, music, tickets, merch, and a bit of social networking all take place under one roof.

Hunter Hayes created a home for his fans, one that was not on the road anymore but in their pockets. The multi-talented musician has been spending quite some time putting together his brand-new, official app. He posted an entertaining little video on social media about how the app is very much like an art gallery but with a close-knit community attached to it. For Hayes, it comes down to creating a “safe place to land” among all the chaos in the digital world.
The app’s functions are divided among a small set of tabs. In the first tab called Home, Hayes will post his own notes and updates so fans can get an actual glimpse into his life on a bit of a floating basis. The Ticket tab will handle all live event information and celebrates tour life. A Shopping bag icon offers access to exclusive items and offers just for members of the app. The fourth area might be one of the most community-active ones, where messaging, discussion forums, and places to share life stories exist. Hayes talked about how this area will continue to grow and evolve but will always remain a safe place for sharing.
The announcement met a swathe of immediate almost-instantaneous good vibes from the fans: many showed excitement and showed nostalgic recollections of one user stating, “An app you say? I remember the app from years ago. Does anybody else? I will definitely be joining this one! Sounds fun!!” Such comments only confirm the deep and longtime relationship Hayes has built with his audience, who are now more than eager to chase him onto this platform.
“Thank you for not letting me doomscroll anymore (in all seriousness, this is awesome!!).” Another statement going straight to the core of what Hayes wants to bring to light. A desire for true exchanges to take place online is growing, contrasting with the more passive and sometimes negative experiences that conventional social media feeds support. Herein lies the reason for the app :as an aware alternative.
Commenting on the thought of unique communities, one stated, “The HH community is like no other,” and another replied, calling Hayes a “comfort artist” and saying, “I love this idea so much, thanks for doing this for us H, because you’re right social media has become a super scary place.” Upon hearing the announcement, this user downloaded the app and started creating an account smack in the middle of a theology class, providing testimony to their enthusiasm and all-out commitment.
And there are also some questions on the more practical side. One fan asked, “Kinda confused is the app already here? How do I find it?” which was immediately answered by another user in the comments saying that it is on App Store and Google Play for download. And others already report success: “Just downloaded it!! Coo app H!” “Already downloaded it that is awesome.”

With this app, Hunter Hayes goes into the next chapter of his ever-expanding commitment to fellow human beings. Hayes calls his community-building, a sustainable home “the most amazing part of making music,” and he turns it into a free-to-join app with a paid tier enabling users to engage more deeply with the community. This new chapter follows the recent release of his new song and the behind-the-scenes magic of his creative process. This is a big step forward for an artist who is actively taking control of the whole digital experience to actually build a world not just for his fans but with them.
