Nook shows what's on near you and keeps your week in one place. Open Discover for tonight's pick and everything happening this week, as a list or on the map. Filters read like a sentence: what, when, in person or online, how far away and how much. Turn on "Only when I'm free" and Nook shows just the events that fit around your calendars, which never leave your phone. Every event gets one clear page: when, where, who's hosting, how many are going, even the weather at the venue. Register in a tap, add it to Apple or Google Calendar, and find it at the top of Your plans. At the door, show your QR code and you're in. In the hour before, a Live Activity counts down on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with your ticket and directions a tap away. Widgets keep what's next on your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Hosting? Create an event in minutes, ask questions at registration, approve requests, keep a waitlist and check guests in by scanning their code. Your own Live Activity shows how many are going and how many are already in. Run events as yourself or as an organization, with your team beside you. Why Nook: • What's on near you, tonight and this week • Your plans first, soonest at the top • Filters for your budget, your neighborhood and your free time • One-tap registration and calendar add • QR tickets and one-scan check-in • Live Activities and Home and Lock Screen widgets • Share any event as a poster, straight to your story • Host as yourself or as a community • Event descriptions translated with one tap • Speaks English, Ukrainian, Polish, German, Italian, French and Spanish Your plans, your neighborhood, one nook.
