friends is the app for your social life. the one that turns wanting to hang out into actually doing it. Here's how it works: * See who's free. Share when you're around, see when your friends are. No more "you up?" texts into the void. * Throw in an idea. Suggest something to do together – built so ideas actually happen, instead of fading away. * Friends bring friends. Your friends' friends can join in too. That's how your circle actually grows. Not from swiping on strangers, but through the people you already know. * Discover your friends' favorites. See the places and activities your friends love, plus what other people around you are into – so you're never short of ideas. The hangout already wants to happen. friends just gives it somewhere to land. Licensed application end user license agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
