Loop & Meet (SingTel link) is an App by SingTel that allows you to manage RSVP to your events. It is different from Facebook Event because each of your guest will receive an SMS for your event and they can RSVP to the event by replying to the SMS with a #yes, #no or #maybe. Not everyone check Facebook often, but most do at least reply to SMSes.

It is free on the Apple App Store as well as Google Play.

Description

Nothing to do? Discover the other side of Singapore – Loop & Meet pulls the latest and greatest, from movies and gigs to nature trails and dance lessons. Forgot who can make it? See, at a glance, who responded to your event invites. Frustrated because no one is responding? Send RSVP reminders to their mobiles – we’ll even send SMSes or emails to those without the app. Loop & Meet is the end of “nothing to do”!


Features

  • Save your closest friends in a group so you can quickly plan and organise events with in-app chat
  • Be reminded by saving events to your phone calendar
  • Invite the world – by sharing events on Facebook and Twitter

If you are a SingTel customer, the SMSes you replied to the system does not count towards your SMS quota. From what I heard, this should apply to M1 and StarHub customers as well.

One of the hidden features I discovered that even if you do not use the app for event purposes, you can use it to check movie timings for all theatres in Singapore. The data is provided by InSing.com.

Navigating through the app, is extremely fast and responsive, I hope this is the benchmark for future apps from SingTel.

I am definitely going to give this a try the next time I organise an event and see how’s the response like as compared to a Facebook Event.
