  1. 5/5please fix this or tell me how I can avoid this

    I would put a five but there’s some things this app needs work on. Love it but wish it just had more options. Okay cus this feature is starting to get me really mad. I’m going to explain this as best as I can. When you click on a date then click on a time let’s use an example 4pm you can create a note on how long it will be and what it is right? Let’s say you put the time first before you put in the tittle , let’s say 4pm-8pm right? then you go click the color blue then click a tittle and type in work but by doing that it automatically goes to a color then it changed your time since it was originally 4:00pm - 8:00pm now it’s 4:00pm-8:30pm. Now when that starts doing that it makes me furious cus I be quick with my notes and sometimes don’t double check CUS I ALREADY SET THE DANG TIME. Why do I need to change it again? it genuinely makes this so much harder now I have to look back at all my notes to make sure it didn’t change the times on it. It Unfortunately made me late to work thinking I had the TIME right. But no it for some reason added 30 mins on the time I already set.

  2. 5/5This 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.

  3. 5/5Great app!

    I’ve been using this for over a year now and it’s been great. There are always updates that are helpful. I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE using GIFS !!!!!!! I can’t express this enough. It is so fun. Such an amazing way to express plans. I like that it can connect the iphone calendar app because then I can automatically see any events from my sister. We use it so i can see when she is working. I also share with my friends to see when they are free. I like that I can see multiple people’s plans at the same time with different colors. There’s always something new coming out— like the summer wrapped?? Hilarious. Love love love this app. Only thing i wish is that I’d be able to log in on my ipad and my iphone at the same time. It disconnects when I log in on my ipad or different device, which isn’t a crazy big deal but still. Love this app. Super helpful. 5/5

  4. 5/5Inclusivity 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!

  5. 3/5Duplicates annoying

    Calendar functionality could be better for collaboration. The thing I find most fun is the updates and reacting to them, but the calendar itself is so tiny and ours immediately filled up with a bunch of duplicates, such as people having multiple "busy" items on the same day/overlapping times, and multiple people making the same event instead of it merging into one. And there are only four of us. Since you can only see four items at a time (because there's only one calendar view) it's kind of pointless to have anymore than four items per day or else you can't actually see what people are doing at a glance. I think the 'busy' feature in general is kind of pointless and clutters everything- I wish I could at least hide it. If this and duplicates could be dealt with it would be a lot better! A weak view would also be great.
