Howbout: Social calendar 8.8.1

version 8.8.1

Our latest update comes with some blink-and-you’ll-miss-it improvements to Howbout that’ll lay the foundations of BIG things to come! Including your past events being hidden from the home page. From now, you’ll just see your three upcoming plans, instead 👀

version 8.6.2

Recreating your events just got a whole lot easier 🙌
All of your most recent events are ready to recreate with the title, date and time with our autofill feature. From your work schedule to weekly brunch date with the besties, it’s now faster than ever to get these plans in your Howbout calendar.
Also, our calendar swipes horizontal now rather than vertical, meaning your calendar swiping will also run quicker and smoother than ever!

version 8.5.3

Stalking your friends’ calendars just got easier 🫶
We’ve made it easier to turn on your friends’ calendars to see when they’re free and make plans together.

version 8.4.2

Gearing up towards a huge 2024 on Howbout, we’ve been hard at work on some under the bonnet fixes on the latest build that’ll leave your app running at 100mph 🏎️

version 8.3.2

No more ‘flashbanging’ when you open the app at night, no more hurting your ‘vampire eyes’, and no more disrupting you in ‘goblin mode’ (yeah, these are all quotes from real user emails we got, hope they're buzzing to receive this update).

Howbout's now available in dark mode!

That’s right, we’ve heard your cries for dark mode and your prayers have finally been answered! Howbout will now be set to your phone’s system settings by default 🙌

version 8.2.1

We’ve seen what’s on your Christmas list, and whilst we can’t promise you a pine green 1.2lL Stanley Quencher cup, we’re giving you something even better…

🎁 Plans that you and friends have in common will be combined on the calendar view page, leaving you with a cleaner, easier-to-read calendar
🎁 You can now add and edit past events in your Howbout calendar
🎁 Our engineering elves have also fixed some bugs in Howbout’s workshop

version 8.1.4

Taylor Swift is QUEEN at bringing baddies together. Look at her & Selena, her & Sansa, her &... the economy? Slay.

Like Taylor, we brought together two of the baddest in the booking game.

Introducing: Howbout x OpenTable ✨

Now you can find what restaurants are free when your friends are and book it all together. Just make a plan and tap “Book restaurant”. We’ve also gone and made the app quicker and slicker too.

version 7.2.3

It’s electrifying️ ⚡

You know at the end of Grease when Sandy goes from being the cute girl-next-door to… sexy? Well, we watched that at Howbout Movie Night and got inspired 🧠

We’ve gone and done it again with a new look for Howbout. But, now it goes all the way through to our new and improved app icon and logo too ✨ Tell me about it, stud 😎

Along with our shiny new brand, we’ve also been working hard on some bug fixes in this build 🤓

version 8.0.1

Introducing: Howbout x OpenTable ✨

Now you can find what restaurants are free when your friends are and book it all together. Just make a plan and tap “Book a restaurant”. We’ve also gone and made the app quicker and slicker too.

version 7.1.2

Call us Lightning McQueen 🏎️, ’cause we’ve already got a new update 🔥

Picture this - you’re on a plan for a group holiday that you can’t go to and everyone’s all up in the chat. It’s too painful to bear 🫣 We got you 💁‍♀️

Now when you can’t go, we’ll auto-mute it for you! And if you want to leave the plan entirely, you can find a ‘leave plan’ button in the settings 🙌
