THE WHOOT
Price – Free
Deciding which activity to participate on might be difficult on free nights at college because you are not exactly aware of the schedule of some of your friends. Even if you are aware of the class schedule, most of your friends are involved in extra-curricular which have an ever changing schedule. But with this application all you need to do is look at what your friends are doing at the present moment and choose what you want to do. The biggest improvement this application has over Facebook events is it provides notifications for present events and not future ones. You can alternate your status between staying in, working, partying and relaxing out. If you are partying or relaxing out then you can also add location so that your friends can find you.
