FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is Plynr?
Plynr is a free app for planning your whole social life with friends and family, on iPhone and Android. Send plans, collect RSVPs, vote on dates and keep your calendars, chats and photos together in one place, from everyday catch ups to birthdays, hens and trips.
What’s a Plyn?
A Plyn is a plan you send to your people. There are two kinds: a Quick Plyn for everyday catch ups and an Event Plyn for bigger occasions like birthdays, celebrations and trips. When you need everyone’s input on a date, place or idea first, create a Poll.
Is Plynr free?
Yes! Plynr is free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
Do my friends need the app to RSVP?
No. When you send a Plyn, your friends get a text and can RSVP on the web, no download needed. If they download Plynr, they can also chat, share calendars, keep all their Plyns in one place and see the photos afterwards.
Which phones does Plynr work on?
Plynr is available on iPhone from the App Store and on Android from Google Play.
Is Plynr available outside Australia?
Yes. Plynr is available worldwide on the App Store and Google Play. You can also invite friends in other countries to your Plyns, so it works for overseas trips and long-distance friends too.
What’s the difference between “locked in” and “still planning”?
You choose one of these modes when you create a Quick Plyn or Event Plyn. Locked in is for when you already know the date, time and place. Still planning lets everyone vote on the date, time or place before a voting deadline. You can also choose whether only you or everyone invited can edit the details.
How do Polls work?
Create a Poll with options for dates, places or ideas, and everyone votes. Once it’s decided, the result can update your Plyn or turn into a new one.
How can I find a date that works for everyone?
Create a Poll with a few date options and send it to your group. Everyone votes, and once it’s decided the result can update your Plyn or turn into a new one. You can also start a Plyn as “still planning” so everyone votes on the date first.
How can I organise an event and track RSVPs?
Send an Event Plyn with an invite, the details and your guest list. Everyone can RSVP from their phone, and you’ll see who’s going, who can’t make it and who hasn’t replied, all in one place.
Can I see who hasn’t RSVP’d?
Yes. Every Plyn shows who’s going, who can’t make it and who hasn’t responded. For Event Plyns, you can nudge anyone who still hasn’t replied.
Can I change the details after I’ve sent a Plyn?
Yes. You can update the details at any time and everyone sees the change in their newsfeed. You can also choose whether only you or everyone invited can edit them.
Can I set up a recurring Plyn?
Yes. Set a Quick Plyn to repeat weekly, fortnightly or monthly, so the regulars like pub sessions, run club, pilates, mothers group or a monthly dinner party are sorted without starting from scratch each time.
Can I share my calendar with my partner or a friend?
Yes. First add them as a friend on Plynr, then send them a calendar share request from the Calendar tab or in Settings. Once they accept, you’ll both see each other’s plans, so no more double-booking the same Saturday.
Can I sync Plynr with Google Calendar or Outlook?
Yes. Sync your Plyns to Google Calendar or Outlook so they show up where you already keep track of your day. Events from Google or Outlook won’t appear in your Plynr calendar.
Is my calendar private?
Only people you’ve accepted a calendar share with can see your Plyns. When you connect Google Calendar or Outlook, Plynr only checks whether you’re free or busy. It never sees your event names, locations or other details.
Can we chat in Plynr?
Yes. Each Plyn has linked chats to keep the conversation and details together. You can also create smaller subgroups, like one for the bridesmaids or friends organising a gift.
Will Plynr remind people for me?
Yes. Plynr sends automatic reminders before the day. For Event Plyns, you can also nudge anyone who hasn’t responded yet.
What happens after a Plyn?
It becomes a Past Plyn and moves to your Past tab. Everyone can then add their photos, and you can keep private notes that only you can see.
How is Plynr different from a group chat?
Group chats like WhatsApp, iMessage or Messenger are great for talking, but plans get lost in the messages. In Plynr, all the details and RSVPs sit at the top of every Plyn, with the chat linked. Reminders go out automatically, and every plan lands in your calendar, which you can share with your partner or friends. A group chat can’t do that.
How is Plynr different from using a regular calendar?
A calendar only captures the end point. Invites need an email address, assume the decision is already made, and leave the chat, photos and changes somewhere else. For big events, Plynr also lets you send a proper invite with the details guests actually ask about, like the itinerary, dress code, cost and food and drinks. And instead of everyone adding the plan themselves, one person sends a Plyn, the others just accept, and it’s in everyone’s calendar.
