Plug In! is an events and activity search app with a difference: its basic premise is that no one can possibly know what you might like, so attempting to filter information for you is just pointless.

What it does instead is give you access to information, and lots and lots of it. With a backend database that is updated daily, and which covers a broad range of events and regions (not just main cities) you not only have a real choice, but will be able to zoom in on exactly what suits your fancy.

So let’s just be clear: the database holds data covering all states/regions, cities and suburbs for all of Australia and New Zealand.

Event Categories covered are:

- Business
- Conferences
- Dance - Club Events
- Esoteric and Spiritual
- Exhibitions
- Festivals
- Food and Wine
- Kids and Family
- Literary
- Live Music
- Markets
- Performing Arts
- Sports
- Tours
- Workshops

With each Event Category having its own sub-category, you can really be specific about what you want to take part in – if you choose to.

This specificity is achieved by giving you the ability to:

-Search by your chosen city within a state/region. You can search across the whole city, or
-Search by your chosen suburb

-Search by Event Category (e.g Live Music), for all live music, or
-Search by Event Sub category (e.g Jazz, Punk, etc)

-The default is the current date, but you can also choose to search well in advance of this, in case you want to plan ahead.

The matching results come back with their descriptions to help you decide what you want to do.

Additionally,

-You can choose to save your current search parameters before or after you have seen your search results. Give it an appropriate search name so you can remember next time.

-Once you have saved your search, you need to only go straight to the Favourites tab, click on the search name button to search again.

-In the Favourites tab, you can click on All My Searches Around Me Now to find all your search preferences taking place within a 5Km radius of where you currently are, on that day, anywhere within Australia and New Zealand.

-Whilst viewing the details of an item that was returned as part of your search, you can also call the venue from within the application for whatever reason - like make a reservation, or get more information.

-Most descriptions of your search results come with internet links

-You can email your friends to plan an activity

-See where the location of the venue is on a map

In its current incarnation, Plug In! gives you access to events in all Australian states, and all New Zealand Regions.
