Often, deciding what to do on a Friday night can be difficult when there are so many options to choose from, but with Timista, people can now plan activities quickly and conveniently based on location, time and number of people in the group.
Timista is an online platform that combines the "functionality of map sites, review sites, and various event listings into one convenient solution," describes PSFK. What this means is that Timista will tell you all of the possible activities to do in the city depending on where you are and how many friends you are with. After you have filled in the necessary variables, you'll get different activity options -- in real time -- with corresponding percentages based on reviews and the activity's distance from your current location. There are also options to refine your search based on things like cuisine and type of activity.
However, if you're not in London, you'll have to plan a night out the old-fashioned way, as Timista is currently available only for London.
