★★★★ Harry Potter Giggles 3/6/2026 v1.62.0
Pointless and useless
Just boring and useless
★★★★ AppGeeky is here 1/17/2026 v1.58.0
Gets sensitive info > hard paywall
They paid for the app to get built, now they want the money back from you.
★★★★ Greviewed 12/24/2025 v1.57.0
Hmmm
Some really terrible selections, very awkward interface, way too long set up and no option to delete your profile.
★★★★ sandra lehmann 9/20/2025 v1.52.0
Sandra
Someone should please send me an invite code. Thank you
★★★★ Nilooniloo 8/31/2025 v1.51.0
Not useful
What a pretentious app!
★★★★ zipuni 7/11/2025 v1.47.1
Data collection galore
This app asks for all your info upfront such as date of birth, phone number, email, full name location, contacts etc. only for the last page to be a prompt for a full paid subscription! Unbelievable, this sort of business practice should not be allowed anymore.
★★★★ Surfnpez 6/14/2025 v1.45.1
Waste of money
Don’t do it. You feel special for getting approved (after several months) but after $$$$$$ most of the time no real connections. Save your time and money.
★★★★ thegrungelover 5/31/2025 v1.45.0
Racist and discriminatory
Self explanatory title.
★★★★ wikimikipiki2 4/26/2025 v1.42.0
No Real Curation
In my city, the app lists a hotel that’s been closed for *six years* as a top pick - alongside an outpost of a mediocre chain bakery. Clearly no one has reviewed any of these places with any depth or thought!
★★★★ Franke Design 4/26/2025 v1.42.0
Umm
Can’t even open the app. The devs have given up on making a functional product it seems.
★★★★ G12789 3/9/2025 v1.39.0
Steal all my information first before paywall, got it.
Absolute scum of the earth developers. They take all your personal information and right before you enter the app it won’t let you in unless you pay. Scam. Reviews are probably fake too.
★★★★ cd-rom-drive 3/1/2025 v1.38.2
useless
insane to take all of my information and THEN tell me I need an invite or to buy a membership.
★★★★ Sparky197133755 5/24/2024 v1.18.1
Requires an invitation?
Who do they think they are?? And they tell me after they take my phone number? Stay away from this app. It’s TRASH
★★★★ Deenajones 5/19/2024 v1.18.1
Waitlist
What is going on? I registered and received a verification code. Entered that and now there is a waitlist…
How long is the wait? How do they contact/approve you?
★★★★ sfx18 5/11/2024 v1.71.1
Beware
If you see the marketing for this app, don’t download it unless you have an invite code. Upon opening the app, it immediately requires your phone number-After you provide your phone number, it asks for an invite code and does not let you proceed any further without joining their waitlist.
★★★★★ thestyleguy31 10/17/2025 v1.54.0
Membership is mandatory
You can’t use anything in this app unless you pay for the yearly subscription. I don’t see the point of that.
