SUP Made Meeting Your Friends Easier

SUP! iPhone App Review.

How much time do you waste talking to your friend about your schedule for the next week, struggling to arrange a get together? It's hard to find a couple of hours to spend with a friend, and even harder when you're trying to arrange a reunion with all your friends or high school mates. But now, SUP is here to make it more easy for you to arrange a get together with your friends.

How it works

SUP is the social calendar app that helps you keep track of your events and participate or invite friends to events. Just register with an email address and a password, and you're set to go. Add friends, create events and let everybody or just your closest friends know what you are up to this week. And while you're at it, find out what events they have scheduled for the week, and join them.

With SUP, there's no need to worry about your privacy. You can choose to make your profile and events public or private. If you want to have dinner with a couple of friends only, make your event private and ask them to join. And they don't even have to be a part of SUP community to receive an invitation. You can tell them about the event via email or Facebook, if they don't have a SUP account.

Create and join events

But if you want as many friends to come to your event, make it public. After being added to their list of friends, they can see what public events you have planned for next week, with a single tap on your name, straight from their list of friends. And so can you. You've got a calendar for all the events you create and attend, and your friends' calendars with their public events. SUP makes you understand that you don't have to create special events and send tons of messages to meet a friend. They only have to access your calendar to find out your public activities and join you for a walk in the park or a cup of coffee before work.

Another great thing about SUP is that it also makes it easier to discuss all the details regarding the event with your friends, straight from the app. After joining your event, you can all talk more about the event in two separated chat screens. One is created to talk about the time and the other about the location of the event. Of course, no one prevents you from sharing whatever information you want, where you want to, but posting the details in the right category makes it easier for other friends to find out the information they're looking for.

Plus, the design makes it easier to spot events, without having your screen flooded with information. Every day is divided into morning, afternoon and evening, each one being represented by a suggestive image. If there's an event on Monday evening, for example, it will be represented by a glow surrounding the correspondent image. No need to scroll to see al the events or to delete each one of them to clear your screen. Just shiny dots on a calendar. It's as simple as that.

So stop wasting time talking about your schedule. Show your friends what you are up to and let hem join or invite them to be a part of your event. It only takes one download from the AppStore and SUP is all yours.
