I'm personally bearish on it too because I'm a firm believer that most people aren't meant to be in your life forever. So many people spend a lot of time trying to maintain a lot of light friendships that they get sidetracked from really meaningful ones. They'll attend their friends' events to show their face but they're hardly there because they have 3 other events they feel they need to show their face at for 30 minutes each. Thanks so much for your meaningful attendance... “If you accept a dinner invitation, you have a moral obligation to be amusing.” - Wallis, Duchess of Windsor (1896-1986) If you can't be amusing - don't show up. Apart from my personal view on the concept - this application is probably better suited for biz dev.

  Author here, thank you for some interesting points. I think it depends on one's personality. I wrote the app because I needed something like this myself. There are many friends that I love to meet but I don't because of poor time management on my side and/or bad memory. The app is meant to help in such cases.

  > So many people spend a lot of time trying to maintain a lot of light friendships that they get sidetracked from really meaningful ones. Completely agree. It's an easy trap to fall into because you need time to put these relationships in perspective.

When I lived in the same town as my friends, I didn't really need a reminder. Now I, and a lot of my friends, live half a world away from one another, and it's remarkably easy to fall out of touch. Also, as Facebook dies and impromptu phone calls become awkward (the social niceties around phone calls seem to have shifted dramatically) I find myself feeling more isolated. Though really, maybe that's just being in my thirties.
