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.

Hey Ashley, thank you for the feedback. We only have a set character count for replies here (hence our usual response you mentioned), so please email support@howbout.app if you'd like some more information on our current onboarding process of adding three friends, or if you have any other feedback for us 🫶

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

We’ve seen our users have a much better experience if their friends join at the start too, so we’re encouraging users to add friends when they sign up so they can get straight to sharing together 😊 We're a social calendar app that’s great for multiple groups of friends and family too, so perhaps there are a couple more who’ll join you? 🙌
What's new
This is the ninth version of Howbout (time flies when you’re chronically addicted to a calendar app) and we’re celebrating by throwing a TON of new features your way.
Including: A new ‘week view’ on the home page; pinning your favourite plans to the home page; and giving the ‘add’/’edit’ plan pages a much-needed makeover ✨
