Howbout is a popular application with over 4 million users, all of whom are described as "hot." The app offers a variety of features to help users stay connected with their friends and make plans together. One of the main features is the ability to share calendars, allowing friends to easily keep track of each other's schedules and plan events accordingly.
The app also has a friends-only activity feed, making it easy to see what your friends are up to and stay updated on their plans. This eliminates the need for constantly checking social media or group chats to stay in the loop.
Another useful feature is the ability to make plans directly within the app, rather than relying on group chats. This streamlines the planning process and ensures that everyone is on the same page.
Users also have the option to choose who sees their plans, whether it's all friends, just close friends, or no one at all. This allows for more privacy and control over what information is shared with others.
The app also includes a chat feature, making it easy to discuss plans and react to events with friends. There is even a built-in group chat specifically for plans and groups. Additionally, users can see when everyone is free to meet up, making it easier to find a time that works for everyone.
For decision-making, the app offers the ability to vote on plans or preferences with polls. This can be helpful for deciding what to do or when to meet up.
Users can also pin calendar events to their home screen and countdown to their date, making it easier to keep track of upcoming plans. And for those who want to keep memories of their events, the app allows for adding pictures to pinned events.
Howbout also offers the convenience of syncing with other calendars, so users don't have to switch between multiple apps. Additionally, users can add their bucket list items to the app and turn them into plans.
The app also makes it easy to share pictures and videos directly to chats and plans. And for inviting others to plans, users can simply send a link, eliminating the need for traditional invitations.
Howbout has been featured by popular media outlets such as Apple, BBC, and TechCrunch, among others. And for those who are tired of stalking their friends on the app, they can instead follow Howbout on social media or contact them via email.
