Check-Out is a mobile app and website that aims to solve the problem of discovering events by displaying all relevant event information in one place visually, rather than using lists. It will source event data from Facebook, Yelp, and ticketing sites and display it on maps according to location, distance, and which friends are attending. This provides a more interactive and easier to understand experience for users to find events while on the go compared to existing websites that are stuck displaying information in lists. A small focused team and partnerships with events companies would be needed to build and promote the product.

1. Check - Out

2. Idea in one line
Check Out is the fun and very easy way to find/locate
and explore what events you would like or may want
to attend based on location, time, your personal
interest and your social network.

3. Detailed Explanation
• Too many services/websites available to find
out events to attend and things you can do.
• But the most general and common way of
showing data is lists:
– Not the best way to show info on mobile
– Not very informative
– Not very interactive
• It’s very difficult to find events when you are
on move and using your mobile.
• It’s even more difficult when you are not in
your country and don't know local services.

4. Eventbrite.com uses lists to display their data –
a really old way which is not interactive.

5. TicketMaster.com – stuck with lists as well.

6. BookMyShow.com – poor site to book tickets
from, again stuck with lists.

7. Websites have improved their design
over time, but that is not enough.

8. The way of showing data in the form of
lists is not good enough to display a lot of
useful information because there is a
possibility that data would be cluttered.

9. There is more data than the user cares
about like location and distance, type
of event, friends going etc.

10. The information is so scattered that
users hate to visit multiple websites
trying to solve the same problem.

11. Users would like to see data
represented visually as that would be
easier to comprehend and remember.
