A must

My friends and I all downloaded and use this app on my wedding trip in Italy and it made being able to meet up and hang out as seamless and smooth as possible. Made the trip 10 X better!

Great app for the boys

Great in a big city like nyc

Simple but powerful

In world where social media has created the most social isolation, who would have thought something so simple would be so effective.

It’s like back in the day when phones weren’t around, you’d have to wander around the neighborhood to each friends house to see if they were ready to chill, you’d come across that one friends house and you’d see all your friends bikes out front which signaled - it was certainly time to chill.

Now you can do that with a freakin app. Bravo👏🏼

Fantastic Bat Signal App

When I’m out with friends, I ignite instead of text them all individually. Just a lot more fun that way!
