Cute app! Like it better than some competitors I’ve tried before. My one thing is that it could use a widget, maybe one as functional as the Google calendars widget? The sign up process is also a smidge annoying. I have a timezone difference with friends so waiting for one to wake up so I […]

It’s stupid because I can’t even get into the app because I need to invite 3 friends before I can even have access. Which is stupid since I am the last in the group to do so meaning I don’t have anyone to invite. I get that inviting friends “enhances the experience” or whatever it […]
I could barely even use it, I intended on using the app with someone and it said we were connected. I was let through but it refused to let them through as well? Spent more time trying to figure out how to let them get past the “Invite your best friends screen” than actually using […]
I just downloaded this app and so far I really like it. It’s clean and easy to use. I also love that you don’t have to pay for the full calander view and that you can sort by each person individually. The only thing I wish is that there was a widget with androids so […]
Easy to use. No ads. Nothing is blocked by a pay wall. you can set things to repeat forever or even every 2,3,4 weeks. there’s really no limit. you can set it so only specific people can see your plans. VERY user friendly and neat to look at. definitely something I will continue to use. […]
Seemed like a great fit for what I was looking for, until it wouldn’t let me continue or do anything else unless I added 3 friends. What if I only have one person I want to set up a shared calendar with? Why do I *have* to have *3* friends without any option to add […]
It’s great! I can integrate all my calendars, easily convert events sent from other social media apps to howbout so I can easily track invites across multiple platforms. The ONLY thing keeping it from 5 stars is that there isn’t a month and planner widget for my home screen. I need to be able to […]
Really useful app! Lovely n pleasant to use – if you can use it. 1 star bc “add 3 friends to use app” is insulting. I have a friend I really want to share my calender with but can’t bc this feature. Many other reviews dislike this too, I think it would be much better […]
I β₯οΈ Howbout! I used to use the basic calendar app on my phone. After I got Howbout, planning so easy. It’s fun to color code everything. I love the bulletin board that lets you make a scrapbook of past events with titles, pictures, and descriptions. You can make plans with friends by adding them […]
Can’t even give an accurate review – the need to invite 3 friends before you can even see if the app works for you… much less 3 other people you know??? That’s absolutely ridiculous. I really can’t wrap my head around that thought process. Let me just go send random app invites to my friends […]
even if you have friends on the app already, at least one new person has to sign up with your link, which doesn’t sit well with me. i’m the consumer, not the marketer, and i would suggest it to more friends if it were good. but i can’t even check if it is edit: you’re […]
I love this app! my bf and I use it due to him having a iPhone and I have a Samsung! it really helps us with our work schedules, social schedules, and school schedules! being able to color code each person and choose who’s schedules you want to see is a lifesaver! however, I only […]
This app is DEFINITELY not ergonomic (easy to use). The daily menu pops up after every single time you add an event, the multi-day event is finicky to select, it doesn’t have an option to select days without setting a repeat, it offers the same event if I start typing in a similar title, which […]
getting a 1 star because I downloaded this app to join my wife who already has it, however its unusable until I find someone else? thats stupid if your app is good enough for people to actually use then you dont have to force the issue Edit for reply: no, it doesn’t. It’s a cheap […]
Kind of frustrated. I had a s10+ for years and it worked wonderfully with my kids and their phones to line up our schedules. I just upgraded to a newer phone and while it let me install without problems when I go to log in it tells me my app isn’t supported with my phone […]
I would agree what others said that forcing you to invite three friends is ridiculous. The whole reason I’m trying out the app is to see if it’s useful or usable before inviting my friends. So while I get that it’s intended to be used with friends, I need to understand how it works before […]
I really want to give the app 5 Stars because I do find it useful myself, but for an app that advertises itself on social planning I find it ironic that I’ve had so much trouble getting my partner signed up. My boyfriend tried to sign up on his own, but can’t get past the […]
Response to developer: It’s not just a little frustrating. It makes the app unusable. I don’t want to use it with a huge friend group. I want to use it with one person, my partner. Who already has it downloaded. So, it is a required step that is not able to be gotten past. —- […]
It’s a good app, does what you expect it to. I use it for my wife and myself to plan. We have included friends in the past but they’re hesitant to use it. I dropped the score by two stars because I’ve reached out to support multiple times about changing phone number with no response. […]
really enjoy how easy and simple it is to use, The sign up process is a bit annoying as it took a few hours for me to be able to join but aside from that. There aren’t any ads or paywalls. My only quif is that the colors are too similar and when you have […]
