Ratings and reviews

this is honestly a great app. My friend group uses it to invite each other to various things and keep tabs on exactly when everyone is busy, especially helpful for us since we like to go camping altogether in the summer. it lets you do all kinds of things, even choose color palettes for your calendar but also for your friends and their events, and adding gifs to the thumbnail. Each event even has its own chat, so you can talk to each other without cluttering your other group chats. I love it

This app is DEFINITELY not ergonomic (easy to use). The daily menu pops up after every single time you add an event, the multi-day event is finicky to select, it doesn't have an option to select days without setting a repeat, it offers the same event if I start typing in a similar title, which is helpful if it would pop up consistently. Overall the menus and general feel of the app are too crowded and repetitive for much use. It's a good app for friend planning, but please improve it.

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.
