  • Love it!!

    I absolutely love this app!! I made everyone download it so we can keep track of our schedule and everyone is on the same page with family events and events with friends! I love how easy it is to put all of the event information in one place and get reminders. The only problem is I wish there was a desktop version so I can use it on my laptop! But everything else is great!

  • LOVE THIS APP!!!!!!

    This app is so fun and practical for if you want to share a calendar with your friends. I love the personalized event pages and that you can make some of your plans private or share them with close friends. In the upcoming future me and my friends are going on a residential and we have made so many meeting plans on this app. I would really recommend this app to people who love cute and practical plans❤️

  • Unable to set events in general !! (holidays, upcoming movies, pending parties, etc.)

    Although i’ve only had the app for a couple of weeks i feel there should be more colors that we can set for different activities. In addition, i stronglyyy feel that there should be an option to create events even if u don’t plan on going or even if u might be not be able to go but just so i can see it. I would like to set holidays in as a headups or even maybe a movie coming out or parties that i could possibly attend without the app forcing me to chose i can attend. Hopefully that makes sense.

  • 5/5

    how about is the perfect way for me and my friends to make plans without having any mixup it's amazing and I think it's my favorite app. I have on my phone and it's so much fun to make plans and see what your friends are doing. Totally recommend to get it
  • Got it for family scheduling

    I absolutely adore this app. It’s like Excel but way better my whole family uses it and we are not going back. Thank you for coming up with this app. Make scheduling so much easier.
  • LOVE but here’s what I need

    I love like the personal colors but I think it needs more colors and when you hang out with a group that group has a certain color instead of all the peoples colors I also think general polls should be a thing like a poll before the plan is even made. More specific date settings like the 4th Monday of every month or something. And last on reoccurring events make it so the host isn’t shown as going to every one, I’m just making the plan of a weekly thing I can’t go every week. Thank you love the app a lot true game changer

  • Trust matters.

    This app wants the contact info of at least three of my friends before I’m allowed in past the account setup screen. There is no way I’m doing that without vetting the app first.

  • Love it

    Everything about this is super cute, I love that you can pin things for countdown, super helpful!! I really want to make this my main app but it needs a widget ASAP!!! Please!!!! It’s too amazing to not have it on my home screen! I wrote an email about it as well I hope that is something to come. Other than that it’s well organized and great to look at :)

    Thank you for the review 🫶 You'll be pleased to hear there is a way you can get your Howbout plans on your native calendar widget! Hopefully one of the team got back to you on how to make this, but if not drop us an email at support@howbout.app 😌
  • Can’t check out the app

    I think it’s really stupid you can’t use the app before inviting others to check out the functionality. I understand it’s a social app and it’s made for u to use with others, but this app NEEDS to let u test out the functionality first. Just like how u can create a instagram account without following other people instantly. I already felt like it was a bit much when they asked for my email AND phone number, then to force u to give them free downloads before u even open the app itself is just ridiculous and downright stupid.🤏 this close to a pyramid scheme. 1 STAR. ⭐️💥💥💥💥

    Hey, sorry to hear that your first experience with Howbout wasn't as amazing as it should have been! We ask for your phone number as well as your email to make sure that your account is secure, and also to make it easier to find friends from your phone contacts! We don't share any of this on and we take all data privacy very seriously 🔐 We'd love to talk through your feedback on this and our onboarding process, just drop us an email at support@howbout.app 😌
  • Forces you to add three people??

    First of all, I’d like to see the features before adding anyone, so kind of stupid that the first thing it does is force you to send a link to your friends. I’m not going to send a link to my friends without seeing that this has the features we need. Second of all, I wanted this app so I could share it with my best friend. Just one friend, not 3. But it forces you to add 3 people before you can even see what the functions of the app are.
