‘Gong’ is a smart calendar with clever features – New app

Gong is a smart calendar with private chat rooms & other features. The app helps you create events as well as invite your friends to join you.

smart calendarAccording to the developer, it helps you manage your “app-less daily life events” that are too small, for example, to go on to Facebook Events, for example. In addition, with this tool, you can plan all your activities with your friends without having to call everybody.

Also, it helps you stop using multiple messaging & calendar apps which can be quite tedious.

It allows you to:

  • synchronize your calendars
  • create events… & then
  • invite your friends to join in the event’s conversation

The created event has its own dedicated chatroom that lets you talk with anyone who has joined. Therefore, the app allows you to chat with your friends who are connected to your events.

The app helps you get suggestions from your friends based on previous events, favorite places & times as well as your friend’s own agendas. In addition, other than adding participants to your calendar with chats, you can add locations, duration & notes regarding the event. Gong also allows you to import iPhone calendars & sync your contacts.

Chatting within the app helps you discuss the event you are planning with everyone involved, all in 1 place. This helps you exchange valuable information about that moment you are planning on. Due to this, in the case of any change you can notify anyone or everyone. Gong will also find the best time for everyone to attend.

Gong’s reworked wheeled interface makes it exciting with its backed in products that provide contextual elements. Gong also allows you to connect a Google calendar as well. The developers claim that they are working to update the app to allow you to add more calendars directly from the app.

The app is currently available to iOS users. However, the developers claim that the Play Store app will soon be out. It is free & customizable. The latest version update on App Store was on Jan 5, 2017. It is available in both English & French. For compatibility, gong requires your iPhone, iPad & iPod touch to run on on iOS 8.0 or later.

Gong was founded in 2016 by Jason Lapierre & Jean Arnaud. The startup is headquartered in Paris, France.
