Version 9.4.1
localizationnotificationsMy friends and I always have trouble finding a time to hangout and this app helps a lot. You can pin events which count down the days for the events, you can hav bucket lists, the plans are color coordinated to each person so you can tell who is free or not, you can invite people to see who is going to the same event you are, you can add details to the plan explaining what you are doing, add a location, you can mark your plans as busy, maybe busy, or free, alert everyone when the event is starting and if it’s a day or a week away (even more times available), you can set an event for multiple days without individually adding it, you can add multiple events on a day, and you can add memories to the app, and pictures to your plans. If you only want to look at your schedule or a certain amount of people you can press on the people to limit the viability of whose plans you want to see. Very great and useful.

Version 12.5.5
updates_and_maintenanceintegration_with_other_servicesdesignloginI’ve been using this for over a year now and it’s been great. There are always updates that are helpful. I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE using GIFS !!!!!!! I can’t express this enough. It is so fun. Such an amazing way to express plans. I like that it can connect the iphone calendar app because then I can automatically see any events from my sister. We use it so i can see when she is working. I also share with my friends to see when they are free. I like that I can see multiple people’s plans at the same time with different colors. There’s always something new coming out— like the summer wrapped?? Hilarious. Love love love this app. Only thing i wish is that I’d be able to log in on my ipad and my iphone at the same time. It disconnects when I log in on my ipad or different device, which isn’t a crazy big deal but still. Love this app. Super helpful. 5/5

Version 12.6.1
performance_and_bugsfeature_requestserror_handling_and_messagesI would put a five but there’s some things this app needs work on. Love it but wish it just had more options. Okay cus this feature is starting to get me really mad. I’m going to explain this as best as I can. When you click on a date then click on a time let’s use an example 4pm you can create a note on how long it will be and what it is right? Let’s say you put the time first before you put in the tittle , let’s say 4pm-8pm right? then you go click the color blue then click a tittle and type in work but by doing that it automatically goes to a color then it changed your time since it was originally 4:00pm - 8:00pm now it’s 4:00pm-8:30pm. Now when that starts doing that it makes me furious cus I be quick with my notes and sometimes don’t double check CUS I ALREADY SET THE DANG TIME. Why do I need to change it again? it genuinely makes this so much harder now I have to look back at all my notes to make sure it didn’t change the times on it. It Unfortunately made me late to work thinking I had the TIME right. But no it for some reason added 30 mins on the time I already set.
