timeRAZOR has developed a new events-finder app for smartphones that uses the phone's geolocation features combined with a built-in recommendation engine to help suggest nearby events and experiences to users; the company's slogan is "We bring you cool events close to where you live, work & are scheduled to be." The app also integrates the phone's built-in calendar to suggest events taking place near the user's out-of-office meetings and social appointments. For example, if a user is going to be in Chicago away on business next Friday, perhaps the app will recommend the user see a Chicago Cubs game that night.The app currently pulls in over 300,000 event listings per day from over 100 different sources, making it one of the larger events databases available.The events are organized within the app in various sections: “planned," events the user has on his calendar; “possible,” available events; “for me," recommended events; and “by me,” special events the user has chosen to attend. Users can add events to their phone’s calendar, view event details, share them with friends and even get “travel time” alerts that tell the user when she needs to leave to make the event.
