    Easy to use, very manageable, perfect for my friend group. In fact, I think I prefer it over my actual calendar app. I just wish you can have it as a widget on my iPhone, would make life much easier as someone who doesnโ€™t tap into apps as frequently.

  • Reporting Bugs

    Reporting bugs does not seem to be a simple process within the app and you are redirected to their website. Getting help, being all the way at the bottom of the site. And their FAQ section having absolutely nothing on how to reports bugs. The only option left is to email and hope *maybe* they see it.

    I constantly have the app somehow turn off the shared schedules I have with friends and also somehow changes their colors without me doing anything. Another bug is constantly seeing the app have a notification both on the home screen and the app itself. To which there is no new notification, like its just stuck there and refuses to go away. Deleting the app and reinstalling does not fix the issue either.

  • :)

    Itโ€™s a great app but a little confusing!
  • Great for planing with friends !!!

    Howbout is great! It makes planing things with friends so much easier. We all have busy schedules and so this app allows us to see when we each are available. It also really helps for spontaneous adventures as you can see if the person you want to hang out with is free that day.

    The only reason I gave it 4 stars though is because of the color customization being locked behind having to invite 3 people to the app. I do not have 3 people to share this with and so It seems I am forever stuck with the inability to customize the color

  • widget?

    Really great app but i would love to be able to see my events on my home screen as a widget, like the apple calender one.

  • Suddenly gotten WORSE

    I love this app, have gotten all my friends to download it and use it for organising most of my social events with them. It used to be easy and quick to use HOWEVER it seems they have taken one of the best features away suddenly and without reason?

    Last time I used the app you used to be able to click on a date and from there create an event that automatically had that date inputted. Now even if you click on a date and go to create an event from there you still have to manually input the event AGAIN. This may not seem very significant but its actually a huge time-waster and makes the app very annoying to use. I am not sure why they would make the app slower and less efficient?

    Please, please change this Howbout team as I do genuinely love the app and donโ€™t want it to become unusable for me.

  • Linking to personal calendar

    I have weekly events set through a certain date, then they stop. On the Howbout calendar they never stopped being scheduled, they just kept going weekly. Extremely annoying, tried unlinking my calendar and relinking it, refreshing the calendar, and deleting and remaking the account.
