The Garage, Microsoft’s 24-hour idea factory that turns fresh ideas into real projects, just presented Tossup, a free mobile app for iOS and Android. Its purpose is to take the hassle out of making plans with friends.



Making plans with friends can be a bit challenging, especially when everyone is busy with work, personal projects, and so on. The bright minds at Microsoft’s Garage are well aware of this fact. And that is why they came up with Tossup, a handy mobile app that “lets you make plans with friends the hassle-free way.”
