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 could even start messing with it in the first place was :/ And I don't like that I had to essentially force them to create an account. What if I had just wanted to test it myself before recommending it to them?

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 is they respond with to reviews similar to mine but you can't have an experience if you can't even get into app in the first place. This really needs fixing as it will dissuade others from using the app

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 the app, because for whatever reason being connected with someone already does not allow you to use the app. They also could not go back or exit from that screen either. Seemed like a pretty app though.

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 I could have it on my home screen for quick access

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. definitely recommend for bust friend groups or family or what ever you need.

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 them later? Ridiculous that I cant even see how the rest of the app works without convincing 3 other people to also make accounts, or sharing my private contacts. Very clearly meant to just drive up signup numbers :/ disappointing

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 look at my plans quickly, not open an app every single time I need to see a calendar, otherwise I would stick to the paper version

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 with a lower friend requirement. At least add this info to your FAQ to warn people before they try and invite their introverted friends onto your app and then made to feel bad since they have less friends/a small circle.

I ♥️ 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 to your plans and calendars, and can compare their schedules with yours to make plans. My only two complaints are that there aren't enough to colors and that there aren't more customizing options. TY ♥️

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 before I even try the app myself! 🙃🫠 Uninstall 🙄 If the response is going to be the usual "we find our users enjoy the app better with more friends"- save it. It's a business move.
