Happyly: Plan, Connect & More 4+

This app makes it really easy to plan family activities that are in our hometown but I’m really looking forward to using it on our next vacation. We usually spend hours trying to figure out what we can do that will be appropriate for the kids. This will definitely make the planning process a lot easier!

I signed up for the premium subscription but it never unlocked any of the premium features. App wouldn’t even let me correct my name spelling after making my profile. Autocorrect entered something else and I didn’t catch it until after my profile was created, which isn’t a huge deal but really annoying when logging in and not being able to edit to make those changes all because the premium membership wasn’t unlocked. I also noticed that when I checked my local area, some of the most publicly-known parks weren’t even listed so I don’t see how this would add much value to making planning outings easier. I went into my apple subscriptions and indeed I was subscribed. I was too frustrated with not being able to use the app I just chose to unsubscribe and delete it. Love the concept, just needs some work and hope the app developers work on this.

I found this app glitching out within the first 5 minutes. Also, the way information is organized can be difficult to navigate. I tried to sort playgrounds by distance from me and nothing changed. The park down the street is the 6th one on the list and the one 15 miles away is first. I feel like it is pushing promoted content way more than usability. I don’t need a whole plan for a day. I need clear information on individual locations so I can know what to expect when I go somewhere new. I think this app is a great idea and I like that they are including actual locals, but it has a long way to go before I actually use this as a resource to plan my days or explore my city.
