Google’s latest standalone app is something unexpected: An event organizer for the offline world. Who’s Down, released this weekend, shows users which of their friends are available for in-person activities.
According to industry blog 9to5Google, the app’s functionality emphasizes making immediate plans, and some of the Pre loaded plans give a hint to the intended demographic for this particular project: "Study," "Grab tacos," "Go for a hike." Teenagers and twenty somethings, it seems, are the target market.
The app, which is available in both Android and iOS iterations, faces one big challenge: Other players have tried to make apps with nearly the same purpose and functionality in the past, with little success at scaling to a large number of users. An app called Shortnotice that works very similarly to Who's Down was released last year; there are several small apps that target the space as well.
