Organizing to meet or socialize with a group of friends has never been easier. Happenings allows you to avoid endless emails and text messages to try and agree on the what, when and where associated with organizing an event. Simple step-by-step screens are tailored to quickly set up options for meetings, movies, dining, and more, that your friends can vote on to identify the best option for everyone. Happenings has been designed from the ground up to work with the device at the center of your social and professional life - your iPhone. By using your contacts, calendar and even where you are, it makes social calendaring easier than you could ever imagine.
Features include:
- Register or login using your Facebook account to get started immediately using Happenings.
- Simple home screen that immediately shows you the next upcoming scheduled events as well as ongoing voting for events that you or your friends are trying to organize.
- Intuitive design that allows you to quickly tell everyone whether you can make it to a Happening.
- If you are trying to organize an event you can set up a vote. Your friends can check options against their own calendar, or even add more options to the vote, making the process of organizing an event dynamic and easy to manage.
- A to-do screen that quickly tells you what you haven’t responded to yet, or if you are organizing an event, a reminder to pick an option and schedule it.
- An updates screen that gives you a time based view of everything going on with events that you or your friends have created.
- Custom step-by-step screens that allow you to organize or schedule different types of event including meetings, coffee, drinks, dinner, lunch, breakfast, movies, a card game, or a boys or girls night out - with many more templates to come.
- Powerful capabilities to sync your contact list, determine if any of your contacts are already Happenings users, and create groups that you can share with your friends.
- Easy to create, but powerful location information that gives your friends more than an address, it can give them directions to where you will be meeting and a phone number to call if available. You can build up your own favorite locations for each type of Happening and even suggest them to your friends.
- A simple tap converts the most voted for option for an event you are organizing into an instant invitation that will be added to your friends calendar if they accept.
- Your life is dynamic and so is Happenings. After you have created a Happening you can add or remove invitees, cancel it, or change any of the details once it has been scheduled making managing your social or professional life easier than it has ever been.
- If your friends dont have an iOS device, no problem, they can always respond to your Happenings through web pages on their desktop or mobile device.
Happenings is more than a simple calendaring app, its a powerful way organize, schedule and manage events in your life that include other people.
Unfortunately we are unable to use your Facebook friends to sync with your Happenings friends as we had hoped (and we are guessing a lot of you assumed we would be able to do). This is a restriction from Facebook due to privacy that we completely respect. Look at the FAQs for ways to quickly get your friends ready to start receiving Happenings.
Happenings is available to everyone, and its free to use. Please provide us feedback via our web site www.happeningsapp.com, or the feedback menu item in the app itself. We know there is still so much this app could do, so help us prioritize by letting us know what you would like to see the most!
