“Making plans sucks. It’s slow. It’s boring. It’s annoying... so we fixed it,” say Neil Tanna, Duncan Cowan and Jake Jenner, three friends who co-founded this app. It doesn’t require you to chat on WhatsApp groups to make a plan. Find out when everyone’s free instantly and set a date on its in-built calendar which syncs with your existing calendar. Every plan has its chat box, so you don’t need to scroll anymore through your WhatsApp group chats for an update on the event. You can invite your friends, even the ones who are not on the app.

Flyx
We waste a lot of our time looking for a movie or a show. Flyx is a social networking arena that helps you connect with your friends and recommend things to watch. This app is connected to other social networks like Instagram and Snapchat and will allow you to recommend things to others. It provides you with information like cast, review, parent guide, and where to watch. The best feature is that you can keep a track of what you’re watching and also review it instantly. For the people who love movies, it’s a lifesaver.

Reports+
If you’re on Instagram, Reports+ is an app that helps you keep a track of your account. It provides you with information of people who visit your profile, people who’ve blocked you from their accounts and shows you the accounts that don’t follow you back or have recently unfollowed you. It’s a complete package for a person who loves to scroll through Instagram. Obviously, it’s free, but there is also a premium package that costs R449 per week or R2,100 per year. The only thing this app lacks is a user interface. The amount of pop-ups and ads in it can come across as annoying.
