I would like to comment a little bit on my competitors. Facebook and meetup.com are search based events. If you want to find something to do you have to search it. You could get invited as well but if you don't you will never know about an event unless you actively look for it.

They are not the same culture ethier. I would not go on meetup.com to see if my friends are going to the bar. The same goes for Facebook. Also I'm 21 most of my friends don't use Facebook. I went on meetup.com to find coding events or networking events. A lot of my friends have never heard of meetup.com.

My problem is I hate texting people every time I'm trying to go out for the night. If people don't already have plans that I can go to, I have to create the plans. Then I have get everyone on board with them. I have texted like over 20 people doing this sometimes, and we don't always have a group chat, or want one. People hate group chats sometimes because you get included in a conversation that you didn't even want to be included in the first place. Plus your phone dings too much with group chats. And some people can't make it due to timing, or simple they don't want to go. So I would love an app where I can just go on it, see what all my friends are doing that night, and go to their events.
