Amazing !!
I love the idea of howbout and it honestly made my life so much easier so although calling it life-changing seems extreme it honestly is !
However I ran into a few glitches with the app but contacted the team about it to see if they can fix it and they sorted it all out quickly thanks to Jake so thanks to the howbout team for helping me so efficiently!!Show lessPanda pop1209348756

Hi there 👋 Thanks for the 5* review 🤩It's awesome to know how much you're loving Howbout 😎 If there is anything you would love to see added to the app then feel free to shoot us an email at features@howbout.app! Happy planning 🥳Little disappointing
For different plans/events you should be able to change the color of the plans on the calendar and when you switch months calendars it should only show that month not the beginning of the next month and end of the nextshmobu

Hi there 👋 Thanks for the feedback! You can already customise the colours of our plans, calendars and groups by tapping on the rainbow button when you see it in the app. You'll be pleased to hear we're also looking at other customisation options going forward 🎉 Need more help? Ping us an email at support@howbout.app.What if I don’t have 3 friends.
App locks some features behind a requirement to add 3 friends. What if I have 1 friend?
Also the ux is confusing and slow.Montaguezer

Hi there 👋 Thanks for your review & feedback! Planning on Howbout is far more fun with friends, so we like to reward our social users with this additional feature! We'd love to hear a little more about what didn't work for you - please shoot us an email at feedback@howbout.app and we can start working together to turn that 3* into a 5* 🙌Bit confusing
Overall it does what it says, but there should be a way of time blockers not showing up on the first page.
I don’t want to be reminded when I first go into the app that my next 3 events are work. I would like it so it only show plans on the first page not time blockers.
Also, it is not possible for me to ‘request feature’ or ‘get help’ as it expects you to have the default Mail app and I can’t see another way to find the email address on the app.
Finally, my friends work schedule can change so much it would be easier for her to be able to put on when she is free rather than when she is unavailable.
Overall it’s quite confusing. In my group only 3 of us have continued to understand this app-but I’m now really only using the app as a count down to holidays. If the time blockers were updated to be just that, then it would look cleaner and be more user friendly.
(Also, I have my work schedule on my default calendar app, at one point how about duplicated each event so I had 10+ on each day. Thankfully most were weekly recurring activities only to the end of the year so I could delete from my default calendar app. Still not sure how it happened)Show lessIt's Amy!

Hi there 👋 Thanks for the 4* review! Just to quickly let you know, you can now hide Time Blockers from the home page – just head to the settings page (button in the top right corner) and toggle them off 😊 We’re working on changing our ‘request feature’ and ‘get help’ sections to open this up more, so thanks for that feedback! Additionally, we’ve made some improvements to our calendar integration so your duplication problems should now be fixed. If you’re still having trouble with that, please shoot us an email at feedback@howbout.app and we’ll help you out 🙌This app is siiiickkk
Honestly so much fun to make plans with friends!!! Can’t wait to see what features you’re working on next because the latest update is awesome101020kk

Hi there 👋 Thanks for the 5* review - we're really glad you're loving Howbout and it's great to hear the positive vibes around our latest update 🙌 Many more awesome features just around the corner! If you have any feedback or new feature ideas, feel free to shoot us an email at features@howbout.app 😊Awesome Social organisation!
Ok, so as a band member and de facto manager (we can’t afford a proper one), Howbout has been an absolute Godsend when it comes to sorting out the bands various rehearsal and gig dates. The whole band has signed up (which is free) and we have never been more organised! We sound better, we’re more creative and the whole band experience has become slicker (seriously, come see us play!) and that all started when a team of enthusiastic musicians FINALLY pinned themselves down and got organised - thanks to Howbout. It syncs with your other calendars (should you wish it to - totally optional), so you can see if you’re free right away. You can invite everyone in your group to a rehearsal, or just pick the vocalists if it’s time to work on the harmonies, and then rehearsal the rhythm section on another day. Each event has its own chat section, as well as you being able to create a more general chat space that isn’t linked to an event (say if the de facto manager just got two kittens and HAD to share them with his band mates).
Overall a 5 out of 5 experience. BUT - I would give them 6 if I was allowed to, because the one time I did have the slightest issue with the app (which was a super niche problem), I got in touch, they answered quickly and respectfully, updated the app and offered genuine thanks for the feedback. As our keyboard player said at the time “That’s customer service done right!”
In summary. A solid 6 out of 5 from Crown Of Feathers (band)Show lessMrKeech
THE BEST SOCIAL CALENDAR APP
My friends and I since becoming real working adults (lol) have struggled finding the time to see each other, some of us working shifts and the others working 9-5 - The struggle is real! We saw this app on tiktok and thought that we would give it a try and I am so glad that we did!!!! Making plans has never been easier, we can see our work schedules, share personal calendars and create plans to invite our friends to. The app also has a colour changing option so that things don’t get confusing, which makes my ocd self very happy 💜 I feel reconnected with my friends again and I couldn’t recommend enough ☺️Show lessbabytarzanharry
Amazing!
Love this app!rogerelwin
The all in one calendar and social app you need
I use Howbout for organising both my family life and friend meet ups. It’s a super easy to use and navigate the app - really intuitive. It allows me to view all my calendar events in month, week, day and agenda view. The icing on the cake and innovate features are things like smart scheduling, Howbout finds a time my family or friends are free without me having to, and event chat built into the app! I’ve not seen these features in similar apps before. I can overlay friends and family calendars onto mine as well which is a handy feature and as a parent I use this to plan things with my wife and kids. I highly recommend this app and it now has its own spot on my home screen!Show lessgary.stockdale1
