Its 10x easier than a group text. Get your friends out when you are. AtPark makes broadcasting last minute invites as easy as one tap. In on tap you send notifications, have a formatted text message, and share activity information. Initially focused on parents park meetups, also helpful for any meetup.

As a father of young kids, I feel the pain of getting my kids outside, to the park, and playing with friends daily. This typically involves texting 10 other dads/moms of my kids friends (different group every time) to let them know when we are headed out to the park. I now use this app to quickly broadcast an invite, even during the chaos of getting kids out the door. More activities happen. Happier kids. Better parent.
Im excited to see what other use cases this can solve as we scale. Do you have any other ideas? College students? Pick up basketball? Gym groups? Run clubs?

Tried this with my partner to round up a few friends for a Saturday hike and the one-tap broadcast actually worked way better than our usual chain of texts. Wish it had a built-in map pin drop but the format is clean and nobody got left on read.

@sra822918192513 we actually just built the map pin drop feature and have it releasing in the next couple days once the app store reviews it! :)

how does this actually get my friends to commit without getting buried in their other group chat messages?

@ezelsukut Different bet: we're not trying to win the commitment, we're skipping it. It's a "here's where I am" ping, not an invite that needs a reply, so there's nothing to bury. Show up or don't, no thread required.

how does it handle friends who dont have the app yet, do they just get a regular text or do you lose them in the group entirely

@muammerida25618 They get a regular text from you. It is a prefilled text you have to click send on.

How does this work with people who dont have the app installed yet, do they just get a plain text or do they need to download something first to see the activity details?

@masalyxsz We pre-fill a text message with the invite info that you can click and send from your phone.

How does it actually send the notifications, does it use SMS credits or just rely on iOS push alerts through the app?

@muhammedkpvsfd We pre-fill a text message with the invite info that you can click and send from your phone. we don't want a weird number texting your friends. Once your friends have the app, they get notifications and greater event details.

Love how the one-tap flow actually feels one-tap. No buried menus or extra steps between deciding to invite people and the message going out, which is exactly where most group coordination apps get in their own way.
