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.

It's an easy trap to fall into because you need time to put these relationships in perspective.
