I would put a five but there’s some things this app needs work on. Love it but wish it just had more options. Okay cus this feature is starting to get me really mad. I’m going to explain this as best as I can. When you click on a date then click on a time let’s use an example 4pm you can create a note on how long it will be and what it is right? Let’s say you put the time first before you put in the tittle , let’s say 4pm-8pm right? then you go click the color blue then click a tittle and type in work but by doing that it automatically goes to a color then it changed your time since it was originally 4:00pm - 8:00pm now it’s 4:00pm-8:30pm. Now when that starts doing that it makes me furious cus I be quick with my notes and sometimes don’t double check CUS I ALREADY SET THE DANG TIME. Why do I need to change it again? it genuinely makes this so much harder now I have to look back at all my notes to make sure it didn’t change the times on it. It Unfortunately made me late to work thinking I had the TIME right. But no it for some reason added 30 mins on the time I already set.

Thanks for the detailed feedback about the time setting bug! That sounds super frustrating, especially when it made you late for work 😔 Please reach out to support@howbout.app with more details so we can investigate this properly and get it sorted for you!
This app is mad clever and FREEEE

My friends and I always have trouble finding a time to hangout and this app helps a lot. You can pin events which count down the days for the events, you can hav bucket lists, the plans are color coordinated to each person so you can tell who is free or not, you can invite people to see who is going to the same event you are, you can add details to the plan explaining what you are doing, add a location, you can mark your plans as busy, maybe busy, or free, alert everyone when the event is starting and if it’s a day or a week away (even more times available), you can set an event for multiple days without individually adding it, you can add multiple events on a day, and you can add memories to the app, and pictures to your plans. If you only want to look at your schedule or a certain amount of people you can press on the people to limit the viability of whose plans you want to see. Very great and useful.
Great app!

I’ve been using this for over a year now and it’s been great. There are always updates that are helpful. I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE using GIFS !!!!!!! I can’t express this enough. It is so fun. Such an amazing way to express plans. I like that it can connect the iphone calendar app because then I can automatically see any events from my sister. We use it so i can see when she is working. I also share with my friends to see when they are free. I like that I can see multiple people’s plans at the same time with different colors. There’s always something new coming out— like the summer wrapped?? Hilarious. Love love love this app. Only thing i wish is that I’d be able to log in on my ipad and my iphone at the same time. It disconnects when I log in on my ipad or different device, which isn’t a crazy big deal but still. Love this app. Super helpful. 5/5

Wow, this made our day! 🫶 Love hearing how you and your sister stay connected through work schedules and that you're having fun with GIFs - they really do make planning way more expressive! Multi-device login is definitely something we hear about and totally get why you'd want that flexibility. Drop us a line at features@howbout.app with your thoughts!Thanks for sticking with us for over a year and for all the love 😌
Inclusivity made easy; less time planning, more time doing

While Howbout easily attracts the planner in your group, it may be even better for the people who HATE planning. This app makes planning and getting a group together easy so you can spend less time planning and more time having fun with friends! Perhaps the greatest benefit is the ease of connecting with people at your parties and other activities to be able to include them in your next plans. Easy to be inclusive and branch out with Howbout—like Meet Up but at a micro level, how most friends and connections are made. Excited to see how this app evolves, particularly with tools to help remember the great moments!

This review 🥹🥹 We love to see that Howbout is both for the people who love planning and those who just want to get it done quickly to get to the fun bit🕺 It’d be great to talk to you a little more about the tools to remember moments that you have in mind, just drop us an email at features@howbout.app 🫶
