Joinable :)

This is what we all want from social media, a good way to keep up with friends and family without all the bots and scams.

I have been calling in more connectiveness and here is an app that allows me to post invites in advance and also in real time. I can join events of friends and sometimes friends of friends. I can connect with my friends to do the things I already do and also invite them to join me for events they might not have been hip to. And vice versa! Drag Show at sunset? Yes please. Don't want to tell all of FB but just a few select friends - Joinable! You can follow an event or Join! You can talk about the event (plan the place and time to meet, post pics etc)in the invite. Meet me for lunch now, I'm in the Mission! Maybe you're free too! How fun would that be? Outdoor events, Yes! Somewhat secret gatherings, specil events? Post an invite and select who can see it. Meet for a hike Wednesday at so and so? Yes! It's so easy. One can select how many people they would like to join them, open it up or limit the number in the group to one on one. This app is opening my social bubble a little more without being overwhelming. I am really digging it! I hope more people will jump on the Joinable Train.

This app isn’t very intuitive or seamless, with different functionalities that are attractive in combination but not actually that useful individually. That said, I could forgive a middling app if it actually WORKED! Despite a newish iPhone with the current iOS running, I can no longer get the app to launch and stay launched. It closes almost immediately upon opening. Yes, I’ve deleted and reinstalled it; yes, I’ve powered on and off; yes, I’ve sent a message to the development team at Joinable. No results from any of these efforts. I quit!
