It can be hard to keep up with a social life in addition to trying to work a job or do well in school. Some people might not want to have to take the time to search for their favorite bands or interesting things to do in the area.
It can be nice to switch it up every once in a while and try something new. eventseeker can be the app to use to help you find events or activities in your surrounding area that may not always be advertised or easy to find in other places.
eventseeker, available on Android, iOS and Windows 8, is an event planner you can keep with you at all times.
The app uses different social network outlets to recommend events based on your location, interests and mutual interests of your friends.
When you first open the app, it asks you to link the app to your device library, Twitter, Spotify, Pandora, Facebook and other social media platforms.
The app uses this information to recommend events or places it thinks you would enjoy.
The discover page begins with five general recommendations for your area.
You can check the discover page at the beginning of the week and see what the app recommends, including a variety of events from sports, music, festivals or theater that it thinks are the best picks of the week.
If you want to see more options in a certain category, you have a range of options, such as concerts, theater, sports, festivals, nightlife, arts and museums, family, educational, community, business and tech, tours and dance.
It will show you a variety of options from speakers that are coming up, or a rodeo that may be coming to town.
You can keep track of groups you follow and find out the location, time, price and where to buy the tickets all in one place.
Some artists have a description of the event or band.
Under an artist news category, you can scroll through articles, pictures and posts from different artists you like.
It can be a way to stay updated on things you would normally "like" on Facebook, but without the clutter of anything else besides those artists.
You can invite your friends to join eventseeker.
This allows you to coordinate different events to go to together, and expand the array of events you can hear about.
If you want to look up a city you are not currently in, you can change your location and plan to go to events ahead of time in a place you may be visiting in the future.
Under the logo, the app is described, "eventseeker makes artist and event discovery easy and social. We give you the tools you need so you'll never miss an event again."
It is easy to discover new artists by the personalized recommendations the app gives you based on what you like and what you listen to.
eventseeker is the type of app that could be used on a daily basis, or just whenever you go to a new city, but it can be useful in a variety of different situations.
