Bout20.1.240

Bout2 is the fastest way to make plans with the people you already know.

Tired of plans dying in group chats? Bout2 turns "who's down for dinner Thursday?" into a real invitation - with a time, a place, and a clear list of who's in. Just the people you'd actually want to see this weekend.

WHY BOUT2

. Friends-only by design. You have the control to only see plans from people you've added as friends.
. Built for real life. Pickup basketball, Sunday dinner, a quick beer after work, a hike, a kid's birthday party - Bout2 is built for the kind of plans that actually happen.
. Clear RSVPs. Going, maybe, can't make it - your friends know what to expect, and so do you.
. Smart reminders. Bout2 sends you a reminder the day before and the day of an activity you said you'd attend, so nothing slips.
. Hosts get a heads-up. If you're hosting, you'll get a quick nudge the day of so you can confirm last minute preparations.
. Comments and reactions. Light, fast back-and-forth on the activity itself, instead of yet another group chat.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Sign up with email, Apple, Google, or Facebook.
2. Add a few friends - by email, by phone (optional), or by sharing a one-tap invite link.
3. Create a plan: title, time, place, and a quick note. Choose who to invite.
4. Your friends RSVP. You all get reminders so the plan actually happens.

WHO IS IT FOR

. Friend groups who want to stop losing plans in three different group chats.
. Roommates and small social circles who hang out often.
. Sports leagues and pickup-game crews.
. Anyone who's ever said "let's do something this weekend" and never actually did.

Version History What's new in 0.1.240:

• The Details box is now right there on the create screen. Say "bring your own gear" or "park on the street" without hunting for a collapsed section first.
• Fixes "Do this again" hiding the description you'd already written on the plan you copied. 0.1.240 1d ago What's new in 0.1.239:

• Swipe through a plan's photos. Open one and move left or right through the rest, instead of backing out and tapping the next.
• Close the photo viewer with the X in the corner, or just swipe up or down.
• Save a photo someone shared, straight to your Photos.
• Tapping a notification opens the right plan again, instead of dropping you on your feed.
• Fixes the app closing when you picked a cover photo.
• Fixes photos that uploaded fine but showed up blank for everyone else. 0.1.239 Oct 5 What's new in 0.1.233:

• Fixes the app closing the instant it opened, for anyone on iOS 27. If Bout2 vanished the moment you tapped it — or when you tapped a link to a plan — this is that fix, and nothing was wrong with your phone. 0.1.233 Sep 30 What's new in 0.1.232:

• Polls can ask about a day, not just a moment. Options can now be all-day — so "which weekends work?" stops making everyone pick a time nobody meant — and can carry an end date or time when a plan spans more than an evening.
• Adding people to a group shows everyone. The list used to stop after twelve friends with no way to reach the rest, so anyone later in the alphabet could only be added by searching for a name you couldn't see.
• The group search box stays visible while you type in it, instead of hiding behind the keyboard. 0.1.232 Sep 29 What's new in 0.1.231:

• See everyone who voted in a poll. Names used to be cut off mid-word — "Maggie H, Jo…" — so the one thing a poll is for, knowing who picked what, was the thing you couldn't read. Names now wrap, and a long list opens a tap away with everyone's photo.
• No more being asked to add an event you already have. If you sync your Bout2 calendar, saying yes to an invitation no longer offers to add that same event a second time. 0.1.231 Sep 26 What's new in 0.1.230:

• Type a note without the keyboard in the way. Handing an event to a new host, proposing a different time, or searching your filters no longer puts the box you're typing in behind the keyboard.
• Order your groups the way you want them. The order is yours now, not the group owner's, and you can move any group you can see.
• Tap anywhere outside a sheet to close it. The filters, the timeframe picker and the switch-host panel could only be closed from their X button — tapping beside them did nothing at all. Now it works the way you expect.
• Strava rides that start late still attach. If the group rolls out at 6:00 and you set off at 6:35, your ride now lands on the plan by itself instead of waiting to be picked by hand.
• Find out when somebody adds you to a group. That one now reaches you by email as well, so it gets to you even before you've turned notifications on. 0.1.230 Sep 15 What's new in 0.1.229:

• Groups have their own screen. Open a group to see who is in it, add or remove people, and change its settings — instead of a cramped pop-up that made you save everything at once.
• Turn a group into a calendar. If a group's events are a school or league schedule, it can stay off your feed and live behind its own chip, so the plans that need an answer are not buried under the ones that do not.
• Two switches on every group you are in: whether it reaches your feed, and whether it can nudge you to RSVP. Your choice always beats the group owner's default.
• Group settings are one tap away. A gear appears in the feed header whenever you have picked a group, and a long press on any group chip opens the same place.
• Groups and Calendar are in the menu now, instead of a few taps deep.
• A cleaner look throughout — titles, headings and labels are set properly on every screen. 0.1.229 Sep 11 • Signed out unexpectedly? The app now remembers who you were and offers you the same way back in — and if you used Google, it just signs you back in. No more staring at a blank form wondering which button you used last time.
• One invite link, everyone can use it. Share links used to stop working after the first person answered; text one to a group and the whole group can RSVP.
• See who people are bringing. Guest names now show on the invite page under each name, and the headcount counts people rather than replies.
• Get reminded about your group's plans. If you're in a shared group and haven't answered something, you'll get one reminder the day before — and you can turn that off per group, or per event if you're the host.
• A tighter feed. Plans take up less room, so you see more at a glance, and scrolling to the end of this week brings up everything upcoming.
• RSVP without hunting for it — the buttons now sit above the guest list instead of below it, on both the app and the web.
• Keyboard fixes across the app, and a faster, steadier sign-in. 0.1.228 Sep 11 What's new in 0.1.226:

• Say how many of you are coming. RSVP for your whole party — the count starts at just you and steps up, and you can name the people you're bringing if you want to.
• Hosts can ask a question. Tent or bunkhouse? Any allergies? How many chairs can you bring? Pick-one, pick-any, short answer or a number — and anyone who can see the activity can answer, whether or not they've RSVP'd yet.
• A signup sheet. The host lists what's needed and how many — a dozen donuts, three baked goods, two coffees — and guests claim what they'll bring or add something of their own.
• See what everyone else said. Answers and party sizes now show under each name in the Going list.
• Security and privacy hardening throughout. 0.1.226 Sep 5 • A new Strava screen, from your profile: your training totals, a search across all your own workouts, the people you show up with most, and how many of your Strava activities never made it onto Bout2.
• Compare your own activities over time — pick a sport, pick one or two measures like distance, pace or heart rate, and see them charted on their own axes with every measure tabulated underneath. Defaults to the last 90 days.
• A copy button next to an activity's address, for when you'd rather paste it into your own maps app.
• All-day activities no longer linger in your feed the day after they finish, and they export to your calendar as one day instead of two. 0.1.224 Aug 30 • Choose per group whether its activities show in your All feed — handy when one group posts a lot. It stays available any time you tap that group's chip.
• The feed now starts on This week for every group you tap, and only widens to All upcoming when that group has nothing in the next 7 days. 0.1.223 Aug 20 • Host an activity without being counted as Going — for calendars you publish for everyone else
• One tap on your own activity to switch between hosting-and-going and hosting-only
• Pick which group your feed opens on, so being in two groups doesn't send you back to All
• Group views now show everything coming up, not just this week
• Day-before reminders say the right thing: "don't forget" if you've RSVP'd, "RSVP now" if you haven't
• People who were invited but never answered now get a day-before reminder too
• Calendar sync fixes: correct times, correct all-day dates, and only events you've RSVP'd yes to 0.1.222 Aug 18 What's new in 0.1.221:

• Ask everyone who hasn't RSVP'd to respond — one tap, once a day
• Let group members add people, so you're not the only one keeping a roster current
• Add someone to a group even if you aren't friends yet — no friend request first
• See how connected someone is: friend count, their friends, their groups, and what they host
• Tap any profile's Hosted or Attended count to browse those activities
• Clearer errors when something goes wrong — the app now tells you whether you're offline or the server is slow 0.1.221 Aug 14 What's new in 0.1.220:

• Share a group — a scout pack, a team, a club — and everyone in it sees the whole calendar automatically
• Filter your home screen to a single group's events with the new group tabs
• Add someone to a shared group and they instantly see every event, past and upcoming, without being invited to each one
• Tag an activity to a group when you create or edit it
• Choose whether your feed opens on your group or on everything, from your profile 0.1.220 Aug 13 • Push notifications are more reliable — and if they're turned off, Bout2 now notices and helps you turn them back on
• Open polls pin to the top of your feed, so they're easy to find and vote on
• New Polls & voting section in notification settings, plus email updates when a poll needs your vote or gets decided
• Closing a poll that still needs a date, time, or place now takes you straight to finish setting it up
• Create a poll without a deadline and you'll get reminders, then it closes automatically after four weeks
• Past events no longer clutter your invites and notifications 0.1.219 Aug 8 • Canceled activities are now clearly marked and no longer clutter your feed
• Share a friend group so any member can invite the whole group
• Stay signed in longer, with fewer unexpected sign-outs
• Links in activity descriptions are now tappable
• Strava: add more than one workout to a multi-day trip — each one attaches on its own
• Get notified the moment a workout attaches to an activity, and tap to see its breakdown, now with the date and time
• Weekly recap sorts paddling, kayaking, skiing and more into Watersports and Winter instead of Other 0.1.218 Jul 28 • New: Polls. Put a plan to a vote - pick a time, a place, or both, with pick-one, pick-any, or ranked choice. People can add their own options, and you can see who's been invited to vote.
• Don't know the date or place yet? Start a poll first - it turns into a real activity once you close it, using the winning time and place.
• Get notified the moment someone votes on your poll.
• Fixed an issue that signed some people out, and stopped duplicate notifications.
• Strava workouts now attach to all-day activities and trips, even without an exact time match.
• Creating a repeating activity or inviting a whole group now works reliably. 0.1.217 Jul 13 • Invites now share as one clean link, always
• A cleaner Strava workout breakdown - your stats, charts, and pace by interval, without the clutter
• Get notified when friends respond to your invites from the web
• Performance and stability improvements 0.1.216 Jun 26 • Refreshed navigation: your Profile is now its own tab, the menu is simpler, and there's a new FAQ.
• Fixed a bug that could sign you out unexpectedly.
• Multi-day plans now stay in your feed for their entire date range, start to finish.
• Activities now show the full street address, and maps only open when there's a real place to point to.
• Streamlined the activity screen and removed Likes - the actions menu is cleaner and swipes closed.
• Your friend Groups now live right in the Friends tab. 0.1.214 Jun 21 • Comment reactions: press and hold any comment to react with an emoji and more, just like Messages.
• Your private events stay private - “View on web” is now hidden on invite-only events unless the host lets guests share.
• Event ticket and source links (SeatGeek and others) now open reliably, with a share option as a backup.
• Strava: the official “Connect with Strava” button and “Powered by Strava” branding, and disconnecting Strava now removes the workouts you attached. 0.1.213 Jun 17 • Compare workouts got more useful. Added Max speed, Max HR, Calories, Avg/Max power, Cadence, PRs, and Achievements — the metrics where two riders on the same ride actually differ.

• Strava workout breakdown — custom pace intervals. Type any interval down to 0.1 of a mile (e.g. 5.5 mi). Bonus: when you open a workout, the app reads your route polyline and auto-detects whether it was a loop or out-and-back, then pre-fills the interval so a 5.5-mile loop opens with 5.5-mile intervals already grouped.

• Menu drawer on every screen. Friends, Groups, Notifications, Settings, and Profile are always one tap away — no more bouncing through tabs to get to them.

• Notification Settings shortcut from any Notifications page. Was only reachable from the Feed tab before.

What's fixed:

• Snappier Explore feed loads.
• Email notification subjects now read like proper sentences (was sometimes just a name).
• Photos uploaded from iPhone no longer flip upside-down when shared via iMessage.
• Shared event links always show a preview image — falls back to a Bout2-branded composite when the source image is too 0.1.212 Jun 13 - Today feed now shows everything dated today — past and future
- Shared event links open in Bout2
- Strava workout breakdown is cleaner, compare workouts is tappable
- Map directions button no longer crashes when an activity location contains emoji or curly quotes
- After transferring host to someone else, decline notifications now go to the new host, not the original inviter 0.1.211 Jun 8 1) Pass the host baton. Hosts can now hand off an activity to anyone who's already RSVP'd Going or Maybe. The new host gets a notification to accept or decline.
2) RSVP messages everywhere they belong. Notes attached to your RSVP (going, maybe, can't go) now show up under your name in the attendee list - not just on declines. 0.1.210 Jun 4 - Explore tab - browse concerts, races, and family events from Ticketmaster, Ironman, RunSignUp, Mountain Man, Eventbrite, and more. Tap "Use this for my plans" on any event to turn it into a Bout2 activity with the title, location, cover photo, and date prefilled, or just share the event directly.
- Edit activity — added Allow Maybe RSVP + Invitees-can-invite-friends toggles.
- Added weather based on activity start time 0.1.209 Jun 2 - Crop and re-pan your activity cover photos — great for portrait phone shots
- Activities stay in This Week for 90 minutes after they start, so you can still grab the address if you're running late
- Hey Siri support: try "Hey Siri, new Bout2 event" or "What's on Bout2"
- Fixed: typing a comment no longer hides the text behind the keyboard 0.1.203 May 26
