The app is a good idea, but there are already local Facebook groups for all of these activities. There is no draw to the app other than the gear supplier discounts (idk if this is even offered anymore); nobody seems to use the app after they’ve made a profile. I deleted because it’s constantly crashing or prompting 503 errors etc. I get the devs need money to make improvements, but this app just sort of seems like a solution to a made up problem.
I was using Facebook groups to meet/meet up with other people for outdoor activities. I love this app because it streamlines things by allowing you to pick multiple activities and describing your experience/skill level and offers an easy way to list your availability. There’s not the extra bloat/annoyance/drama that I’ve found in Facebook groups because the app is so geared towards meeting up and actually doing things! It’s easy to navigate and easy to connect with others through app. They’re also always improving the app and adding relevant/helpful things like gear exchanges. If you’re into outdoor activities and/or fitness and want to have super easy a way to find partners for pretty much any activity you could think of, you will love this app!
Have you ever felt that the group events are not scheduled as frequently as you wish, don’t necessarily reflect upon your to-do’s and when/where you’d like to go no matter how many groups you join? Frustrating! Pastimes came up with this brilliant idea, which completely rewrites how the group events have been traditionally organized and managed, which is generally one directional... the leader decides it all for the most part... and the participants are simply left with Yay or Nay options. Instead, with Pastimes, the users specify their availability (what/when/where) and the app on the backend match you with the like-minded outdoor enthusiasts within your specified distances! How freakin’ awesome is that!? 🙌🤩🙌 As with any pieces of software and apps, Pastimes surely has rooms for improvement, but being a start-up, the team of developers has been tirelessly reflecting upon users feedback to a point that they release updates regularly over the course of several months I’ve been using the app. Truly remarkable how it is shaping up within such a short period of time! So, don’t hesitate! It’s free and ad-free, too! Grab the app and go find your next perfect Pastimes buddies today!
