Howbout: social calendar - Latest Quality Issues
Android

I wanted to use this app to sync calendars with my husband but you need to add 2 people to even use it? Who in their right minds thought it would be a good idea to gatekeep people out of their own app? 1 star 🤡

Impossible to sign up without inviting 3 friends
Android

I only want to see events I have created or have accepted an invite to, but I can see everything everyone I know has created as well, and presumably they can see everything I create. This feels like a massive invasion of privacy -e.g. If I create a deeply personal hospital appointment reminder for myself, I dont necessarily want everyone I know seeing it. I only want to see or share things I created or accepted an invite to, not everyone else's lives.

Never received a code to sign up
Bad. You guess need to check and do some troubleshooting

Terrible
Sorry but opening the app deleted all my itinerary for 2025 which took me hours to mark out in my apple calendar, all deleted because of this app. I thought it was a weird coincidence so I rescheduled all my plans and shifts on my calendar, only for it all to be deleted AGAIN when I opened the app, 0/5 DO NOT APPROVE

Couldn’t even get into the app
Couldn't even sign into the app using my phone number because it says it's not valid ????? My phone number didn't work and I was very frustrated

Why do I have Hannah from Howbout as a friend? How do I remove that. It was added automatically when I downloaded the app

Let us use it with adding more then one person
Not everyone wants to/can share this with everyone, I feel it would be better to have the option to share with just one other person

I logged out once and clicked the wrong email to sign in and it A. Refused to let me select another email B. Made me make a new password (I didn't even have a password yet??) C. Sent me to am email for customer support which I'm sure will be promptly ignored And D. Logged me out for 6 hours for attempting to fox it too many times. I'm deleting this app, everything else was fine until that happened, I'm not willing to go through that everytime I accidentally click the wrong email 😤
