  • Glitching!

    I’ve absolutely loved using this app for the past few months HOWEVER recently it’s been starting to glitch, giving me notifications saying a due task is 1000 days away when it isn’t :( Please fix the glitches that come with using it after awhile because I really do find this app useful and aesthetic 🤍

  • Forcing me to add five people?

    Idk why its not letting me use the app unless I invite 5 different people. I deleted the app straight away its annoying af

    We’ve seen that our users have a much better experience on our app 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 time and planning together 😊 Howbout is a social calendar app that’s great for multiple groups of friends and family too (and by default, your calendar won’t be shared with friends unless you give them permission) so perhaps there are a couple more who’ll join you? 🙌
  • Can’t get past three friends

    I wanted to use the app with my boyfriend and I was actually really excited so that we can coordinate plans together and see each other‘s work schedule, and you literally can’t move forward unless you have three friends to add. I want to use this app just with him. Ridiculous that this stops you from moving forward. Deleting

  • Hard to use, didn’t work for my club

    We often have to schedule meetings via group chat and it wasn’t working due to us having school, work, and other things keeping us very busy. We needed something easy and visual to block off our schedules. Unfortunately this didn’t work. We are trying out time tree instead and it seems to work better

  • Must have at least 3 friends to add

    I just wanted this for myself and my best friend and was really excited about it but it’s not possible to use unless you invite 3 friends. Wish there was an option to just invite one friend to use. Regardless had to delete app and found another one. Don’t recommend unless you have at least 3 other people to share calendars with

  • Not good response

    Made a review recently asking why they can’t just let people who don’t have a lot of friends not have to add 4 only for them to reply with the app is a social app. And to add some friends. Try to consider people who don’t have many friends.
  • Meh

    It’s good overall but hard to use and doesn’t make sense most of the time, need to be more clear on where everything else but other than that it is pretty good

  • Cant use without email

    Cant use it without email, so if you don't have one you can't use it

  • Great app BUT PLEASE ADD A WIDGET

    I love this app it keeps me extremely organized, but I definitely think if this app had a widget function for the I phone version it would be 5 star. Just the ability to not even open the app and see what i have going on today would be great

    Developer Response

    Whilst we don't have a Howbout widget just yet, as a partial solution, you can export your Howbout calendar to your phone's native calendar app and then use that widget (and your Howbout plans will automatically appear on it) to view calendar events! Drop us an email on support@howbout.app if you need a hand with that ✨
  • Sad

    I was really excited to use this app for my boyfriend and I. I wanted us to be able to see each others schedule and be able to plan stuff together. The reason I’m disappointed is because you’re forced to add friends to be able to access the app. I don’t want other people to be able to see my schedule, I just wanted to share it with my boyfriend.
