Cancel Past DatesI don’t know if I will be ready or heard, but wanted to try improve the app slightly. For dates that have passed or smt maybe a darker hint over them to indicate that the date is over would be nice. Just started using and it has been a blast! Hopefully the next update it can be seen.
Great way to keep up with my friendsWe always use this app when making plans.
update suggestionIts really great but pls make the app full screen on ipad
