We’re In: Amazing mobile app for Girls’ outings!

 

By Briana Booker

Fromgirltogirl loves mobile applications that make our busy lives more manageable! Bing’s “We’re In” new application offers just that for Windows Phone! The “We’re In” application allows you and your group of friends to coordinate plans by sharing your locations with each other!

The “We’re In” application is nothing like Foursquare where your location is broadcast to the world( although we love Foursquare). The “We’re In” application just makes it so much easier to plan an event with your girlfriends!

If you want your friends to meet at the mall, at a roller coaster, bar or restaurant at a specific time, the application will help the you meet on time and enjoy the fun with all your girlfriends!

Only one user needs to create the event and add friends to the event via a contact list or phone number. You choose the name and how long you want this location information available! It is an excellent tool to plan surprise birthday parties, housewarmings, bachelorette parties and baby showers, and farewell parties (just to name a few)!

Your friends will receive a text that will allow them to use the application. The “We’re In” application maps out the location and list all people participating in the event.

 

You can know who has already arrived, who is lost, and who is behind schedule! You can send status updates as well! Great, right? So plan away to have fun with the girls! You deserve it!

 

Stay fierce!
