The webpage hijacks my keyboard and prevents using it to control my browser. This degrades the site's accessibility and has no relationship to the product it is presenting.
Without a web version to try out and without my friends telling me how great it is, the requirement that I go through the app store process to install it is a higher threshold than my level of interest based on the odds that there will be no interesting events in the database around me should I do so.
My business advice is to make it easy for people to provide feedback and that means making it really easy for people to try out. The post here successfully funneled me to the page but the choice of delivery mechanism let me slip away. Even if the Windows version was available (and that's what I am currently using) I still would not have tried it out for the reasons above.
Nice logo, nice website (although the back button /and/ scroll hijack is annoying...).
I don't get the name though, wherever-event? whatever-event? whenever-event? It's a bit awkward to know how to say it "w-hh-event? Opening the app I think it is maybe all of them?
Could you tell me about your clustering on the map? What are you using etc. I've been working on it a while and maps in general are hard to get 'just right'. I'm using google maps though. Pressing a marker zooms nicely, do you know the exact area to zoom to? Seems like it.
2,7mb - amazing size.
Interesting choice to have some tabs popups and some navigation. I'd make the red arrow white though, and slightly darken the background when it is showing the popup.
I don't get the reason for signing in, so you could maybe add a line or two there instead of the logo.
Some places were quite slow on the map to search, it'd be nice so have a popup on the middle button saying ("still searching") or something like that when it takes a bit long. I was wondering if it were still searching or not - despite the animations. Minor though.
The icons weren't totally obvious, e.g. game icon got 'runs'.
Also how is the male/female known?
Search button doesn't do anything in the "where" tab.
Got a crash - but I've got it on my device so I just sent an email to info@whevent.com hope you can catch it. Found no address on the website.
All in all so far - seems well done.
Regarding the funnel of installing, I _almost_ didn't install it due to app-only but I'm glad I did in the end. But the reason was mostly to check out the map implementation. The 'card' design is quite solid as well.
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah there are issues with categories, since they're tagged by machine learning, It will improve in the future :) And thanks for the crash report!

Good luck.
