Planz UAE: Plans with friends

Planz helps you make plans with friends in the UAE, find things to do and join people nearby who like what you like.

Most plans start in a group chat and die there. Someone asks "football Saturday?", forty messages later nobody has booked, and nothing happens. Planz keeps the time, the place and the people in one spot, so the plan gets locked and you go.

Use it for a weekly cricket game, a karak run after work, a birthday dinner or a weekend hangout with the whole group.

Float an idea, see who's in
- Not sure yet? Post a nudge: an idea with the time, place or people still open.
- Friends answer in one tap: I'm in, maybe or pass.
- Once enough people are in, lock it in and it becomes a plan.

Make a group plan
- Set who, when and where, then invite friends or a whole circle.
- Friends without the app can open your link and say they're in.
- Everyone sees who's going, who hasn't answered and how many seats are left.
- If someone drops out, the next person on the waitlist gets the spot.
- You get a reminder before it starts, and you can add it to your calendar.

Find things to do
- Discover shows plans from friends, your circles and people nearby that still have seats.
- Need a sports partner or short of a player? Open your plan on Discover so people nearby can join.
- Get a game going: padel, football, cricket, badminton, basketball, volleyball, tennis or bowling.
- Go outside: hiking, camping, desert drives, beach days or kayaking.
- Eat and catch up: breakfast, brunch, dinner, coffee or a BBQ.
- Have a fun night: board games, karaoke, trivia, escape rooms, go-karting or a movie.
- Train together: gym, running, cycling, yoga or swimming.
- Learn something: book clubs, language exchange, cooking classes or networking.
- Pick from more than 100 activities in all.

Pick the place
- Browse over 33,000 places across the UAE: restaurants, cafes, gyms, padel courts, football pitches, beaches and more.
- Find them in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Al Ain.
- From a venue you can call, message on WhatsApp, open their website, get directions or book on the venue's own page.

Your crews in Circles
- Keep your football group, brunch crew or run club together in one circle.
- Float weekend plans to the whole circle and see who's around.

One chat per plan
- Each plan gets its own chat, so the details don't get lost in your other groups.

After the plan
- Log the score: sets for padel, goals for football, runs for cricket, then vote for the MVP.
- After a run, add your distance. After dinner, say if you'd go back and save the best dish, so next time everyone knows what to order.
- Your circle keeps the record: weeks running, who keeps showing up and which places are worth going back to.
- Your profile keeps the plans you went to and the people you keep meeting.

Planz is free and for adults 18 and over. It doesn't take payments or sell tickets; bookings happen on the venue's own site.
