    Hey Everybody,

    My sister and I spent a year developing this app and I would really appreciate any feedback from the community - we are now at the stage where we are trying to get as many suggestions and criticisms as we can from people to make the app better.

    Hope it's not spammy - we would really like to have a discussion here with people and are not just dropping the link and running.

    Thanks

    This is funny as I spotted your app recently - maybe on Product Hunt - and I just presumed it was US-made!

    My initial thoughts were that you might be trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist? I am just not sure if people have that much difficulty arranging group activities. There are so many options for doing so also. Between Facebook, WhatsApp and good old fashioned email, surely it doesn't take much to arrange an event or get-together? You are also trying to change user behaviour, which is also always difficult..

    How is the traction?

    I agree with digital guy. Whatsapp groups for various activities have always worked for us and everybody already has the app so easy to set up.

    Yes and it can sound counterintuitive but having more features can actually make something more complicated overall.

    I see a lot of products these days that are solutions looking for a problem, I am keen to develop my own startup and it's something I have to watch for myself when generating ideas.
