Description

This app allows you to schedule a time to hang out with friends within your busy lifestyle. After signing up you'll be able to populate your calendar with your own personal events.

You can then create a group event, where your calendar gets cross referenced with your friends calendars, and determines which days you are all available to hang out.

You also have a choice of who you would like to include in the shared calendar, keeping it private.
