Hey @jsa & @oliverpgibbs, When are you coming to the USA? What has been the most difficult part of building this app?

@jacqvon @oliverpgibbs We're very keen to expand to as many countries and cities as we can, including the US. Our first expansion out of London is already underway, with plans to launch in Manchester in the next couple of days. Our team has individually handpicked all 5000 experiences, workshops & classes; a huge challenge, though incredibly rewarding for us — our classes have been consistently receiving 5-star reviews, and we've already had some excellent feedback.

Great ideas for classes that I wouldn’t ever think to look for. The new application is very easy to use and looks good.

Pros:

Great ideas, easy to use interface

Cons:

Pictures are slow to download

This sounds amazing and I have a need for this right now. But why launch only on iPhone? without a web alternative? What the hell?

@tharshanmuthulingam Hey Tharshan! Most of the demand for EmptyChair's classes have thus far come from iPhone users, so it made sense to focus on building an iPhone app initially. However, we hear your concerns, and we would love to release a desktop version soon.
