Friendship, unpaused. Let's Join is the social planner for you and your friends. Share your mood, ping your friends, pick a place and meet up in real life. No endless group chats, no "where should we go?". Just your friends and a plan that actually happens. We all say "we should hang out soon". Let's Join turns that into a plan in seconds and keeps all your social plans with friends in one place. HOW IT WORKS • Share your mood: coffee, a walk, food, a movie, sport, a museum, shopping or anything else you feel like doing. • Ping your friends: send it to all your friends, your Close friends or a list like your hiking crew. • Pick a time, or choose Let's decide: see when most friends are free, friends weigh in and the host locks the time. • Run a poll: let friends vote on what to eat, when to meet, where to go or what to do. • Pick a place: choose an area and get spot ideas nearby, from cafés to parks and bars. • Meet up: friends answer yes, no or maybe, chat about the details and you meet in real life. PING WHEN YOU'RE FREE Bored on a Sunday? Slide to let your friends know you're free. Whoever is up for something joins you. Spontaneous plans with friends have never been this easy. LET'S DECIDE THE TIME LATER Not sure when everyone can make it? Send the ping with Let's decide. Friends weigh in, and the host locks the time once it works for the group. No more endless back-and-forth in the group chat. POLLS: LET YOUR FRIENDS VOTE Can't agree on what to do? Start a poll. Ramen, Döner or pizza? Brunch at 11 or 12? Bowling or a movie? Friends vote in a tap and the group decides together, without fifty messages in the chat. SPOT IDEAS NEARBY Stop asking "where should we meet?". Pick the area you want to go and Let's Join suggests coffee shops, restaurants, bars and things to do nearby. Choose one, and everyone sees the place on the plan. LISTS FOR EVERY CREW Make lists for the people you hang out with: your hiking crew, family, flatmates or work friends. Close friends is ready from day one. Ping just the right people every time, and choose whether friends of friends can join. FRIENDS ONLY Let's Join is not a dating app. Only friends you have added can see your pings, plus friends of friends if you switch that on for a ping. Every account is verified with a phone number, and you can block anyone at any time. ADD FRIENDS IN SECONDS Every member gets a personal friend code. Share yours, enter a friend's code, or find friends from your contacts. As soon as you have your first friend, your feed opens and you can start making plans. SEE WHEN FRIENDS ARE FREE Connect your calendar and Let's Join shows the time slots when most of your friends are free. No more guessing or asking everyone one by one, so planning gets a lot easier. Your privacy stays safe: we only read when you are busy, never what is in your events. Calendar access is optional. CHAT FOR EVERY HANGOUT Every plan has its own chat, so details like "I'll grab a table" or "running 5 minutes late" stay in one place instead of getting lost in a busy group chat. CHECK IN AND BECOME MAYOR Check in when you arrive at a spot. Meet up at the same place often enough and you can become its mayor. Let's Join is made for real friendships and real life. Fewer messages, more meetups. Download Let's Join, add your first friend and send your first ping today. Questions or feedback?
