Appropriate to the name, in FriendConnect you connect your Facebook account so as to be able to plan any event you want with your friends. Using only the simple and easy to use calendar and the event features, it is very easy to – finally, after months of trying – get all your friends together in the same room.
The entire purpose of FriendConnect is to let your friends know when you’re free and organize events. So, after a short instructional tutorial on opening the app for the first time, you get the option to set upcoming time wherein you’re free. You can select individual hour slots at a time on upcoming days and list them as “hangout time”. Presumably, on all other hours not free you are bent over at your desk working hard, not slacking off on Reddit.
This option of setting time as free is what sets FriendConnect apart from other apps offering similar calendar comparison services. Many other apps only allow you to setup, organize and sync events around specific times already organized.
In these other apps, events required prior organization through messaging or – heaven forbid – face to face communication. Once you’ve organized it, you then make the event in your app and use it to remind that one friend who always turns up late that, yes, you are supposed to be at the bar at 19:00.[sc name=”quote” text=”Once you’ve organized it, you then make the event in your app and use it to remind that one friend who always turns up late that, yes, you are supposed to be at the bar at 19:00.”]
In FriendConnect however, you can view other people’s available free time so as to organize events more easily. This means, it’s so much easier to actually get your friends together; simply look at your friends’ availabilities, organize an event on that time and there you go – you’ve got yourself an event.
When organizing events, FriendConnect makes it incredibly easy to let your friends know exactly where you’re meeting up. As long as location services are turned on, you can use words from the name of the intended establishment and it will auto search the location; then, you just select it from the list and it auto provides the details to all those you invite.[sc name=”quote” text=”The focus of FriendConnect is all about making it easy to organize events, so when faced with recalcitrant friends that refuse to actually organize themselves and make it clear when they can set an event up, all you need to do is get them to download this app.”]
It feels very much that FriendConnect is aimed at the social butterfly that possesses only terrible friends. The focus of FriendConnect is all about making it easy to organize events, so when faced with recalcitrant friends that refuse to actually organize themselves and make it clear when they can set an event up, all you need to do is get them to download this app. They don’t even need to do any Googling to find the place you want to meetup; thanks to the searching feature, the information and details of the intended meet up are right in front of them.
FriendConnect makes organizing your friends so much easier; it’s easy to use, has a clear and ergonomic UI and just makes sense, with no confusing or complicated UI or features.
Now to just get your friends to download the app.
