## What is Frenly?

- Special events planning
The most simple, fun and effective way to plan social events, big or small. View your friends' shared calendar to check their availability. Invite others to your events – lunch for two, a holiday in Mexico, a surprise party, or your next ski trip. Discuss your event plan in the group chat and find all important details stored in the event. Vote on destinations, assign tasks, keep important notes, build polls, and itemize shared expenses. The Frenly digital planner app makes social event organization easy.


- Date scheduler
It can be difficult to choose an event date that suits everyone. Suggest multiple dates and let your friends RSVP. The calendar displays all group members’ schedules so it’s easy to pick the best date. Frenly makes collaborative date planning fun, not frustrating. 

- Expense tracker
Post your shared event expenses to keep track of who owes what. Split expenses equally and select the members sharing the expense. You can also choose to divide expenses by percentage or unequal amounts.

- Vote on event destinations
Add multiple destinations and ask event group members to vote on their favorite. Easily include the destination address and website link to give your friends all the details on where they’re headed. 

- Task organizer
Share the load by assigning tasks to event members. Let everyone know how they can help out and ensure everything gets done. Tasks can be organized into groups. You can also leave tasks unassigned and let event members sign up for tasks themselves.

- Poll your friends
Want to know what option your friends prefer? Mexican food? Steak house? Sushi? Create a poll with choices and let them vote. You’ll know who has voted and the option that received the most votes.

- Shared calendar
Choose a friend and view their calendar. See when they have plans and organize an event around their schedule. You can also opt to keep an event hidden so your calendar will only display it to those invited. 

- Important event notes
Don't let important details get lost in a group chat!  Capture the info in a note and easily access it on the event.  No more scrolling to find the garage door code of your Airbnb.


- Photo album
Forget sending friends multiple emails of photos you took on your trip. All the photos are saved in the event! Chat about special moments captured during the event or download them to your phone.

### 3/5 — Great app but needs some tweaks

*2026-08-03*

I love this app for hosting events i use it almost annually. The only downsides are i noticed this year that Samsung users cannot open up the event link you text them. You have to have them as a friend on Frenly first and then invite them to the event while in the app. Texting them the invite does nothing they cant see it. ALSO I would much like to be able to adjust the time of my events without resetting and deleting all my RSVPs that’s pretty inconvenient lol apart from that I LOVE the tasks section particularly for potlucks to know what people are bringing. Overall it makes things a lot easier to organize

### 2/5 — Usually good

*2025-08-28, version 2.2.0*

This app has been great for when I host parties and large events. BUT lately all my guests have been having issues with the invite link. It hasn’t been working like it should. Which makes it really hard to have a successful event when people cant click on it.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-01-11*

This app is an amazing way for me to keep control of my schedule. It is super helpful and better than Apple calendars

### 5/5 — Has potential

*2024-05-28*

Good App so far. World be nice If you could specify the sorting of the event list. Currently, the most recently created event is always at the top, but it would also be nice to have an option to sort the whole thing by e.g. start date. Set a reminder a week before would be awesome as well.

### 5/5 — Really useful!

*2023-04-01*

Simple UI and really useful! Lots of potential.

### 5/5 — The planning app everyone needs!!

### 5/5 — Best planning app out there
