### 5/5 — Woah…

*2022-09-14, version 2.33.0*

I had never been to the SF clubs, now I’ve been to every single one. Now I can just flip through and choose my vibe 5/5

### 5/5 — Hooked!

*2021-11-13, version 2.16.0*

Already hooked on seeing what's going on in the city - amazing for finding new places and events, checking out new neighborhoods and planning a night. I use it as a local and am even more excited to use it when I am visiting other cities. So crucial! It's like having a personal event tour guide.

### 5/5 — Great app for having and discovering events

*2021-11-12, version 2.15.0*

Super fun to use and really cool to see what’s happening around you in real time. Can’t wait for more of this app. An excellent, clever take in a space that hasn’t seen much product innovation from “the big guys”. Love supporting a cool, up and coming company like this!!! Kudos!!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-10-09, version 2.14.0*

Such a great idea! Love this platform. It is perfect for a big city like where I live (San Francisco). Great way to know what is going on around you, with real time footage to get the inside scoop! Highly suggest this application to anyone looking for a good time, with good people!

### 5/5 — Awesome App!!

*2021-03-09, version 2.6*

Ease of use, incredible UI, and simplistic approach make this a stellar app.

### 5/5 — Simple way to notify friends of event

*2020-02-09, version 1.4*

Love how straightforward the app is.  Simple to interpret invites sent to invitees by text.  Usually receive immediate rsvp responses, which never happens with your classic email rsvp services.

Fantastic, simple, effective social event planning application.

### 5/5 — Exceptional for coordinating events

*2020-01-04, version 1.4*

The Blast app is a one stop shop for organizing events, as it combines scheduling, messaging, and payment (so imagining having Google Calendar, iMessage and Venmo all in one interface). 

It’s really great because rather than having to run around in different apps/websites to figure out who’s going, who’s not and who’s paid, it’s now only a click away.

Additionally the integrations make it easy to add the details from inside the Blast app to calendars and your own scheduling system if needed. Quite frankly this is a stellar service that is worth every penny as it does truly make life easier in an meaningful way (so much so that organizing events has become less stressful now!)

### 5/5 — Life Saver

*2019-12-30, version 1.4*

This app is so convenient for keeping all of my events in order.  I can easily look up times and places when something comes up.  Being able to easily Venmo people through the app is genius.

### 5/5 — So easy!

*2019-11-21, version 1.4*

How didn’t this exist already?! I like this WAY better than paperless post for events with friends. Interface is friendly/simple and I don’t have to jump between emails/browsers to figure out what the status is of my guests. Response rate is much faster. The venmo integration is great too.

### 5/5 — Critical for organizers

*2019-09-11, version 1.0*

The time saved is so significant since using blast. In organizing RSVPs for sports leagues, commitments for events, or simply getting people together, sending a blast and getting texts back or attendees being able to quickly confirm if they’ll be there hasn’t been easier. I love this app and use it weekly.
