My Leisure Time
How does My Leisure Time suggest activities based on my interests?
After you sign up, the app shows you a big grid of pictures for hobbies like hiking, painting, or urban foraging. You tap the ones you like, and it uses that info to send personalized suggestions, like a free pottery workshop or a nature photography walk, that match your tastes and budget.
Can I use the app to plan and schedule activities I find?
Yes, the app has a basic activity planner where you can block out time for events it suggests, like a weekly board game night at a cafe. It also sends reminders that actually get you off the couch, and you earn a little 'Goal Completed!' badge when you try something new.
Why do I keep seeing the same events listed multiple times?
The 'Events Near You' feed can get repetitive, showing the same weekly trivia night or bar event listed several times, which makes it seem like there's more going on than there really is. This is a known issue, and the app could do a better job of deduplicating listings.
How can I stop the annoying full-screen ads that pop up when I switch tabs?
Unfortunately, those full-screen ads can be disruptive when you move from the event tab to your planner. There's no built-in ad-free version mentioned, but you can try closing the ad quickly or providing feedback to the developer to request a premium option.
How does My Leisure Time compare to other hobby discovery apps like Meetup?
Unlike Meetup, which often relies on user-created groups, My Leisure Time actively finds free or low-cost events for you based on your specific interests, like a beginner's pottery workshop. It also has active community boards and a planner with reminders, making it feel more personal and less like a corporate robot.
