With people having busy schedules, it becomes extremely difficult to plan events with your friends, especially when you are on the go. Rundavoo is an iOS app that invites your contacts and asks them for suggestions regarding the time and the venue. Every event created by the app is synced with your iOS calendar and comes with chat rooms of its own to help you collaborate easily.

It is quite impossible for a person not to have a Facebook account, and that is why this app counts on Facebook to create events and interact with those invited.

You will have to link your Facebook account with the app, and once done, it will import all the events where you have been invited. If you want to create a new event, all you have to do is drag the “+” icon upwards.

You can choose one of the preset categories or choose “Other”.

When you create an event, you will have to answer questions about who, what, when, and where, you can select people from your list of friends on Facebook.

If you have not decided on the venue, the app will suggest places near your current location. The creator of an event has to select a time, but that is not final because it will show up only when the invitees have had their say. If you are one of the invitees, then you can throw in suggestions about the time and the location. You can see all the messages in the app itself, and deciding becomes easier.

If you want to add an event to your calendar, you will have to tap the gear icon in the top bar of any event. You can also change notification setting in the same way. When you decide that you have received enough messages, then just tap on the lock icons and finalise everything.

The app has a few shortcomings, too. For instance, all your invitees must be on Facebook and everyone must have this app for it to work. These limitations notwithstanding, the app is pretty good to use!
