KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Dec. 2, 2014 Spontivity, a new social app set to join the app store for iPhones Jan. 5, 2015, seeks to connect users based on activities they love.

The free app will allow customers to create, browse, and join activities in their area. These activities can be anything from hiking to basketball games to photography or bird watching sessions. As Tyler Brewer, Spontivity’s director of marketing explains, “Sometimes your friends aren’t where you are and doing the activities you enjoy can’t wait”.

The creators of the app and the company are all recent graduates of the University of Tennessee. The idea to create a social app that connects users in interactive, face-to-face settings came to them after realizing that with people’s busy lifestyles it is hard to organize activities among friends. “This is especially true for people who have just recently moved to a new city or state,” says director of finance Mary Beth Overton.

iPhone users can sign up to be alerted when Spontivity goes live in the app store by entering their email address online at the Spontivity website. The company also has a twitter account, Facebook page and blog customers can follow to learn more about the app and interact with its creators.

The event raised awareness about the social app by brining together a guest list of 150 influential University of Tennessee students and a plus one of their choosing.
