About

Features

Palaner finds the events worth leaving the house for. Tell it what you're into — the music you love, the nights you still talk about, the things you'd never normally come across — and it learns. After that, every time you open the app the events on in your city this week are already sorted, with the ones for you at the top. No scrolling through a hundred listings you don't care about to find the two you do. It reads everywhere that counts: Resident Advisor, Eventbrite, Skiddle, Bandsintown, Songkick, gigs and club nights and talks and markets and comedy. Then it actually reads each one and ranks it against your taste, not just by what's closest or biggest. Talk to it like a person: - "what's on tonight near peckham" - "somewhere low-key for a first date" - "techno this weekend under a tenner" It gets what you mean, and it tells you why each pick fits you. Save the ones that catch your eye. Mark yourself going. Add friends and it starts learning the room, not just you. Palaner is free to use. Palaner Plus is an optional auto-renewing monthly subscription that raises your monthly message limit from 30 to 300. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
