# Event-Planning Apps The 'Vurb' App Combines Popular Apps for Arranging Entertainment in One Place By Christopher Magsambol | Published 2015-09-02 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popular-apps References: [nydailynews](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/search-app-vurb-rolls-group-messages-android-version-article-1.2335999) & [vurb](http://vurb.com/) 'Vurb' is trying to make our lives easier by providing one place for all popular apps. Some of the more popular apps used are Yelp, IMDB, [Spotify](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humit-app) and [Open Table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intrinsic-flowstate-platform), many of which are needed to plan a single event or night out. Not only are the most popular apps in one place, the newest update has a group messaging option, making it even easier to plan a night out with friends. One of the app's most convenient features allows users to create a card with all the necessary information on it to be sent out to friends. For example, Yelp is used to check a restaurant's reviews, movie tickets are bought from another app and through Open Table, dinner is booked. As Vurb's popularity continues to grow, expect to see it available for computers and [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hermix-nano). Vurb also plans to incorporate more travel-focused apps to cater to out-of-town visitors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Convergence of Apps:** The 'Vurb' app combines popular apps for arranging entertainment in one place, creating opportunities for further integration and streamlining of app functionalities. - **Group Planning:** The addition of a group messaging option in the 'Vurb' app enables easier coordination and planning of events, opening up possibilities for collaborative event planning experiences. - **Unified Event Cards:** The ability to create a card with all necessary event information in the 'Vurb' app presents possibilities for disruptive innovations in event organization and invitation processes. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile App Development:** As 'Vurb' showcases the convergence of popular apps, there is potential for disruptive innovation in the mobile app development industry. - **Social Networking:** The group planning feature in 'Vurb' can prompt disruptive innovations in social networking platforms, creating new opportunities for collaboration and event planning within online communities. - **Travel and Hospitality:** Vurb's plan to incorporate more travel-focused apps presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the travel and hospitality industry, enhancing the overall experience of out-of-town visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Calendar-Coordinating Social Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clyx-app.md) - [Social Scheduling Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planpop.md) - [Comprehensive Festival Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festivawl.md) - [Social Gathering-Scheduling Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/momentitos-app.md) - [Digital Event Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-invites1.md) - [Aggregated On-Demand Service Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finishd-app.md) - [Innovative Activity-Finding Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-outside.md) - [Media Release Monitoring Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcoming-app.md) - [Custom Event Invitation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-invites.md)
