The shared calendar for friends, couples, and family
This is the app you’ve seen all over TikTok. 10M downloads, 200M+ plans made, and 1B+ views across social media. Howbout is how millions of people actually see each other more.
Planning shouldn't take a hundred messages and a "when works for you?" thread that goes nowhere. Howbout fixes that. Find the gap, lock in the plan, actually see the people who matter to you.

This app is amazing and totally recommend. When I first discovered this app I immediately told my friends to download it. It’s clean, organized, user friendly and fun! I love the chat and poll options for each event. It would be great if you’re able to incorporate expenses where user can upload an amount and split amongst the group from that event!
Update ruined it
Me!!!!🙋
This was literally my most favourite calendar app ever for YEARS and they just put out an update that ruined it. You used to be able to colour-coordinate your entire calendar, i had several categories i used for multiple jobs, plans and literally everything else. Now, they make you like "categorize" every colour but only give you like 4 free options??? so now you have to pay to get it back the way it was. AND!!! it's not like they just don't let you make any NEW plans with colours, they legit removed all colour from pre-existing plans so it was ugly gray and then doesn't let you put it back the way it was unless you pay. it would be fine if this was just an option you could opt in or out of, but it's manditory and hidden under of bunch of manipulate lingo like "Let US do it for you!" as if erasing all the work you'd previously done is helpful?It literally just money-hungry and it makes me want to delete ASAP. Will be looking for another app that's actually free as promised, not looking forward to moving my elderly parents and ALL friends to another app after convincing them to use this one. Super disappointing, i would've rated it 5 stars literally this morning. Save your time, claims to be free but is just another one that hides all the decent features behind a paywall.

Need friends to sign up

It’s saying at least one of my friends need to sign up with my invitation. Do y’all really think my friends care about this ? It piss me off
Annoying bug/thing that needs to be fixed
Jupiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Everytime I add an event in the future like for instance if I am putting in my work shifts for December right now (it’s October), after every date I add it brings me to the current month which is super annoying, like it should bring me to the month that I just added an event in not the current month and then I have to keep going back scrolling to go back to where I was super annoying other than that great app :]
Big new features in this latest update!
You can now sync your external calendars straight to Howbout using an iCal link, making it easier than ever to keep all your commitments in one place and show your friends when you're actually free.
Plus, we’ve upgraded your chats! You can now send higher-quality, larger images and videos so you can share all the best moments from your plans without losing any detail.
