The app that gives you plans. Lytt seats you at a table of about six at events around Toronto: dinners, talks, brunches. New people, a real conversation, and always someone new to talk to. Tickets are sold by the event organizer, not in the app. Once you have one, open Lytt with the phone number you bought it with and tap "I already have a ticket". We confirm it, which can take a day or two. Before the night, say yes or maybe to the people going. It helps us seat you. Once tables are set, see who you are sitting with and say hi in the table chat. On the night, check in when you arrive. The table does the rest. After, tell us how it went. The Lytt helper asks you a few questions and drafts your profile lines. Nothing goes on your profile until you approve it. Lytt is free. Event tickets are sold by the organizer. Lytt is 19+ and live in Toronto.
