Hey there, parents! I’m Yanyan, a mom of two (and yes, I know exactly how chaotic family schedules can get). After hearing from so many parents in Bahrain about the endless struggle to find, book, and organize kids' activities, I knew we needed a solution designed by parents, for parents. So, we did a deep dive with a survey and got an incredible response from hundreds of you! Your honest feedback inspired us to create ChillUP, an app that makes finding and booking kids’ activities so much easier.
Here’s What You Told Us – and How ChillUP Makes It Better!
One thing I heard over and over from you is how exhausting it can be to search for activities, fit them into busy schedules, and juggle everything. Trust me, I get it! Here are some of the biggest takeaways from the survey, and how we designed ChillUP to meet those needs:
Finding the Right Activity: No More Endless Searching
You know the drill—searching for activities only to find they’re either too far, full, or don’t fit your schedule. About 76% of you shared this frustration, so we’ve included a tailored search tool in ChillUP. You can filter by interests, giving you a quick, customized list that takes the guesswork out of activity planning.
Organizing Your Calendar with Less Fuss
Another big one: 84% of you said managing all those schedules is a headache. Many of you use Google Calendar, notebooks, or even whiteboards, and it’s still a challenge to keep track. That’s why ChillUP includes an in-app calendar where you can add all activities and even share it with your partner or other caregivers. Imagine the relief of seeing everything in one place!
Making Payments Easier – Bye, Bye limited payment options!
We all know how inconvenient it can be to pay with limited payment options. Nearly 82% of parents want easy digital payment options, so we made sure ChillUP supports all the methods you need, from credit/debit cards to Benefit Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Now, booking an activity takes just a few taps.
Discovering Activities in Your Area
We found that 48% of you rely on recommendations from schools or friends, and that’s a great way to start. But what if you want to explore a little further? With ChillUP’s discover feature, you can easily find well-rated options right around the corner—or anywhere in Bahrain—so you never miss a great activity.
Sharing the Schedule with Caregivers
Trying to coordinate with partners or grannies, or grandpa's? You’re not alone; 69% of parents need help juggling multiple schedules. We made it simple: ChillUP’s sharing feature lets you keep everyone in the loop without a million messages.
Yes, There’s Finally an App for That!
Here’s the part I love most: Over 70% of you said you’d use an app if it made things easier. ChillUP is designed to be exactly that—simple, straightforward, and a huge time-saver. No more jumping between websites, calendars, and notes. It’s all here!
Together, We’re Making Activity Planning Fun Again
Creating ChillUP has been such an incredible journey, and every decision we made was thanks to parents like you who shared what you need. I’m so grateful for your feedback and thrilled to offer an app that truly makes a difference.
If you’re ready to take the hassle out of planning activities, check out ChillUP here and let’s make parenting just a little easier together!
Cheers to smoother schedules and happier families,
Yanyan
