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

App is good; however, my friend was unable to move past the invite page and use the app as we were all signed up and they were the last to sign up- she was quite literally stuck on the invite page unable to do anything with the app entirely. I've not had this as a problem with the app before when only me and one other friend used it last so this is disheartening that my other friend is unable to join our calendar to see what we're up to.

The app does not work on Android. It lets me put my number in, it lets me verify my phone number, but once I get to the email screen it doesn't let me progress from there. And it lags and glitches my phone once I try to leave the app. I've uninstalled, I've restarted, I've cleared storage and cache. It does not work.
