# Social Activity-Planning Apps The Popflock App Helps to Plan Things with Friends By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2013-12-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plan-things-with-friends References: [wearesocialmedia.gr](http://wearesocialmedia.gr/popflock-the-new-app-for-planning-things-with-friends/) & [popflock](http://popflock.com/) Popflock is an app to help people plan things with friends. It simply starts with a user specifying that they want to do an activity. Friends can then make comments, suggest times and locations for the event, to help simplify the process of choosing [particular nightclub to go to](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/up-2-tonight), or where to watch a movie. Since it helps to see what times and locations work best for each individual, Popflock takes a lot of the stress out of [planning social events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/letssynq). This is a great way to organize large social gatherings privately, just like an invite-only [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app) event. Currently, Popflock is still in Beta mode but on its website, anyone with an interest in the app can sign up to be notified of when it launches. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Social Planning Apps:** Development of social planning apps for simplified and organized group event planning. - **Event Management Apps:** Further advancements in event management apps with features like activity suggestions and attendance tracking. - **Private Social Media Apps:** Increased development of social media apps focused on private and invite-only events. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Mobile App Development:** Opportunities for mobile app developers to design and create social planning apps with unique features and innovative technologies. - **Event Planning:** Integration of social planning apps into event planning businesses to offer more effective and efficient services to clients. - **Social Media:** Development of private social media apps that allow users to plan and organize their social activities with their network. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Calendar-Coordinating Social Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clyx-app.md) - [Activity Focused Socialization Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sosocial-app.md) - [Innovative Activity-Finding Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-outside.md) - [Social Gathering-Scheduling Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momentitos-app.md) - [Community-Oriented Meetup Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-pig-app.md) - [Event-Based Social Networking Applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plus-1.md) - [AI-Powered Socialization Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bu-app.md) - [Collaborative Professional Checklist Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popshare-app.md) - [Group Meetup Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/letsfinallymeet.md)
