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

Weāve seen our users have a much better experience if their friends join at the start too, so weāre encouraging users to add friends when they sign up so they can get straight to sharing together š We're a social calendar app thatās great for multiple groups of friends and family too, so perhaps there are a couple more whoāll join you? š

I was skeptical that an app would help plan get togethers, thought texting was fine and this was extra, but this has been a pleasant and simple experience so far! My local "core" group of friends is all on here, and now our plans don't get lost and no one is accidentally excluded because we have 437 group chats of varying people. Also, I am a very forgetful person, so having a dedicated spot to check back on times and other friends questions is just great.

Thank Allyson, this is exactly how we want our users to feel, and awesome to hear you're finding the chat in events feature helpful! If there are any other features in Howbout that you would love to see that would help make the process of planning with your core group even easier, let us know! Just drop us an email over at features@howbout.app š

It's really great to plan with friends and get everything on everyone's calendars, and be able to figure out who can go to what and at what times everyone is available. It adds events made on Howbout to my Google calendar as well, which I really like Edit- it's been taking a really long time to load the app, I click on it and it often takes a full ten minutes. Part of this is likely my phone, but other apps don't take even half as long to load
