Hang Out With You

HOWY went light — and got a lot faster. • A warm, bright new look from the first screen to the last. Easier to read, easier to move through, and a lot more like the app HOWY was always trying to be. • Opens about three times faster. Home is ready in a couple of seconds instead of watching a loading screen. • Planning is three steps now: who's coming, when you're free, where you're going. That's the whole thing. • Name your own spots. Type any address — a friend's house, the lake, the park with the good benches — give it a name and a photo, and plan from it any time. HOWY shows you exactly where it landed and how far it is from you before you save, so one typo can't send your crew to the wrong street. • Close Friends, done right: a private starred list only you can see. Star someone and they get your exact free windows; everyone else sees which days work, never the hours. • Say who can reach you, and mean it. Restrict quietly limits someone without telling them; Block actually blocks — invites, messages, reposts, all of it. Each one explains exactly what it does before you tap. Only friends can add you to a plan. • Quiet hours: pick the window where HOWY never buzzes you, and it won't. • Group votes work the way you'd expect — everyone gets told to vote, and the plan locks in the time people actually picked. • Discover stays close to home. Spots an hour away don't show up as "nearby" anymore, and neither do they in your notifications. • Places open around the clock no longer show up as closed. • Wrap up a night and it sticks — your recap shows how long it ran and who was there. • A dropped signal no longer kicks you back to the sign-in screen. Delete your account and it's really gone, photos and videos included. • Better on iPad, plus dozens of fixes and polish everywhere.
