• A “Propose Change” button might make it more obvious that you can change the details of the event.

• Allow people to invite their friends to an event.  Possibly use open/closed meetings.
• When inviting friends to an event you could sort them by distance or by frequency of events you attend together.
• The app is somewhere between informal and full contact management. The right way to do things may not be easy.
• The tasks were intuitive but might want to reevaluate the tasks that we are aiming for so we can identify what we are missing or how to make the app better.
• The app could possibly suggest places to meet or store personal defaults.
