"It's usually pretty spontaneous"
Feature 2: Make it fast and easy for users to find events to go to by giving them a personalized event/restaurant recommendation feed.
"I try to go to the mall about an hour away with my friends sometimes but it's usually pretty tough to coordinate because its a pretty big trip for multiple peoples schedules to need to align."
Feature 3: Give users access to everyone’s availability and the specific times when whole group is available.

Pivot Change
During my making of the wireframe I realized how cluttered and confusing the app felt.
Change 1: Name Change
I felt the original name "Evnties" was unmemorable and wasn't has playful as I wanted it to be.
Change 2: Navigation
Adding another page (Social Circle Group Chats) improved the overall flow of the app.
Change 2: Calendar Page
Instead of making the calendar page about combining all the events everyone has into one calendar, I think making the the calendar page more about listing all the times everyone is available is much more straightforward and much more favorable in terms of privacy.
