This app slaps and it really is a great way to make your plans

I can make plans and already have them set up as scheduled without much hassle, it’s a unique experience and great for planning stuff ahead of time with your homies. this app rockzz

Something that Gen Z needs today.

There hasn’t been a social app to show your circle exactly where you are and where you’re planning to go. Evolving from the days of snap map this app explicitly tells your friends exactly where you are heading and invites you along with them. There is no question any more of where all of your friends are going on a Friday night. No more texting friends individually or reaching out to people you’re not too close with. Sway closes this gap and provides the social aspect our generation is missing.
