The easiest way to make sure you actually meet up is by using Howbout, a shared calendar app built for friends.

On Howbout, you can instantly see when your friends are free, suggest plans, and keep all the details in one place. You can color-code your friends’ calendars, and each plan has its own chat and polls, so it’s easy for everyone to agree on a time and remember what you planned. Howbout is also free and available on IOS and Android.

Instead of plans getting lost in messages or forgotten about later, Howbout keeps everything organized so your friendship group actually follows through.
