Ratings and reviews

It's great! I can integrate all my calendars, easily convert events sent from other social media apps to howbout so I can easily track invites across multiple platforms. The ONLY thing keeping it from 5 stars is that there isn't a month and planner widget for my home screen. I need to be able to look at my plans quickly, not open an app every single time I need to see a calendar, otherwise I would stick to the paper version

Can't even give an accurate review - the need to invite 3 friends before you can even see if the app works for you... much less 3 other people you know??? That's absolutely ridiculous. I really can't wrap my head around that thought process. Let me just go send random app invites to my friends before I even try the app myself! 🙃🫠 Uninstall 🙄 If the response is going to be the usual "we find our users enjoy the app better with more friends"- save it. It's a business move.

Seemed like a great fit for what I was looking for, until it wouldn't let me continue or do anything else unless I added 3 friends. What if I only have one person I want to set up a shared calendar with? Why do I *have* to have *3* friends without any option to add them later? Ridiculous that I cant even see how the rest of the app works without convincing 3 other people to also make accounts, or sharing my private contacts. Very clearly meant to just drive up signup numbers :/ disappointing
