GuacFriends

Meetup on the Fly

GuacFriends is the easiest way to form groups of common interest & invite your group to join you at any time. Get SMS invitations when others want to do the activity.

• You don't need to remember who told you they're interested.
• Everyone can manage their own membership to join and leave.
• No need to RSVP or create calendar events.
• You can control it with the web client, SMS, or email!

"An Avocado a day keeps the loneliness away."
