This week’s app of the week is an app that makes it easy to invite groups of people to different events.
Looking to throw a small party and don’t want to make up invitations and mail them out?
Let me introduce to you, Hobnob.
Hobnob is an app that is currently available on the App Store that lets you create custom invitations with just a few taps on your screen. All you have to do is select a design, put in the event details (date, time, location, etc), select who you’re inviting, and tap “send”. Invitees will then get a text message with the invitation like below:
All the recipients have to do is reply “Yes” or “No”, and the user’s app will get updated with who’s going or not!
One of the greatest advantages and smartest moves by Hobnob is the ability for practically anyone with the capability to text message, to use the features of the app. With that being said, if someone’s 90 year old grandma who has no clue what an app even is, receives one of these invitations, even she will know how to interact and respond to the invitation.
Having a feature that combines app with text messaging opens up the market dramatically, because come on … who doesn’t have text messaging?
Looking forward to seeing where this app ends up in a few months!
