Questions, answered.

OuttaChat is one place for your group to save the things you keep talking about (restaurants, shows, trips, events, TikToks), vote Yay, Maybe or Nay, and turn the favorites into real plans. When you go, mark it done and it’s saved in your group’s history.

Yes. OuttaChat is free to download and use.

OuttaChat is free on iPhone. Search “OuttaChat” in the App Store. An Android version is on the way. Use the download buttons on our homepage, or search “OuttaChat” in the App Store or Google Play.

Create an account with your first and last name, email and a password (at least 8 characters), or use Sign in with Apple or Google. On a new phone, just log in with the same email and password.

So your group can tell people apart. Your group sees your first name only, unless someone else in the group has the same first name. Then OuttaChat shows a last initial, like Nick S. and Nick T., or the full last name if the initials match too.

On the log in screen, tap Forgot password? and enter your email. We’ll send you a link to choose a new one. The link expires after an hour.

A group is everyone you plan with: your partner, your friends, family, a trip crew, or just you. Each group has its own ideas, votes, plans and history, so nothing gets mixed up.

Open the group and tap Invite people. Tap Share invite to drop the link in your group chat, or Text a friend to send it to one person. Anyone with the link or code can join.

To keep track of someone, type their name under Invite by name. They’ll show as Pending until they join, and you can remind them or cancel the invite. You’ll get a notification when they’re in.

A collection organizes ideas inside a group, like “Restaurants to Try” or “Costa Rica.” Turn a collection into a trip by adding dates, and you can plan it day by day with a countdown.

Yes, anytime. Leaving a collection doesn’t remove you from the group, and you can rejoin it later.

The person who created a group or collection can’t leave it, because that would leave everyone else in something no one owns. Instead, the creator can delete it, and they’re the only one who can.

Its ideas, votes, comments, plans and history are deleted for everyone in it. This can’t be undone.

Everyone taps Yay, Maybe or Nay on each idea. Whoever adds an idea counts as a Yay automatically. A Nay never deletes anything; the idea just ranks lower.

Instead of showing a scoreboard, OuttaChat sums up where the group stands:

• Everyone’s in: every member voted Yay.
• Crowd favorite: most of the group said Yay and no one said Nay.
• Worth considering: most votes are Yay or Maybe.
• Waiting on: fewer than half have voted so far.
• Probably skip: at least half the votes are Nay.
• Mixed: the group is split.

Yes. Voting is meant to be open, so everyone’s on the same page. Each idea shows a label for where the group stands, plus a Who’s in list with each member’s Yay, Maybe or Nay. Only members of that group can see it.

Open any idea and tap Make a plan to pick a date and time. When everyone’s in, OuttaChat will nudge you to lock it in. After you go, mark it OuttaChat to add a note or photo to your group’s history.

Restaurants and bars, movies and shows, events, experiences, hikes, things to make, and places to go. Search for something, add it yourself, or paste a link.

Tap +, then Share a Video. Paste the link, give it a name, and pick a group. The video link stays with the idea so everyone can watch it before they vote.

Details like posters, showtimes and venues come from partners including TMDB, TVmaze, Ticketmaster, Viator and Foursquare. Prices and times can change, so check with the venue or seller before you go.

In the app, open Settings and tap Delete account. Your profile, votes, comments and personal list are deleted, along with any groups you created. Ideas you added to other people’s groups stay so they don’t lose their list, but your name is removed. You can also email admin@outtachat.com.

No. We don’t sell your personal information. See our Privacy Policy for what we collect and why.

Location is optional. If you turn it on, we use it to show distances and things to do nearby. You can turn it off anytime in Settings.
