Howbout: social calendar 12+

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.

Fantastic

I’ve been looking for a shared calendar app for a good while now. This one is almost exactly what I was looking for: it’s customizable so I can have the week start on Monday and use 24-hour time. It’s simple and easy to use; I can be cute and creative without the options being overwhelming. Currently I share the calendar with 3 other people and it’s worked out incredibly well.

My only suggestion so far is I wish I could select a bunch of days and add my work schedule; I have a wonky schedule so I can’t select a recurring date. As of now, I have to add my work schedule to every day individually which is annoying. But worth it for everything else.

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!
