Apple this IRL app is nothing more than Gather 2.0 made by the exact same people except twice as spammy albeit clever with the addition of Phishing scams that’ll not only text you from 23202, but your entire contact list once you allow them access to all your contacts. Dead give away was this was access to contacts was required at first launch of app, no in app purchases, and bot/ text messages right from the word Go! You’re becoming an Android/Google monstrosity, faster and faster every day with inclusion of apps like this in the App Store! Stop it!

IRL is what me and my friends need right now. In Real Life hanging. We like to play video games online together, but seriously, it gets kind of depressing. I don’t want to exist inside of my TV only. I need to get out. The app makes suggestions, which is nice because some of my friends don’t have much of an imagination. So far, I’ve seen Black Panther, and scheduled some time at the gym. I’m excited thinking about making more plans to get out of my box and into real life. There’s a lot of haters out there who don’t understand the concept of this app. Or, probably they’re just afraid. There are too many scams out there. But I saw this app featured on CNBC so I think it’s pretty legit. Haters gonna hate. Apparently it’s always that 2% of people that ruin it for the other 98% of us. Don’t let your fears keep you from enjoying your life. Get off your butt and out of your phone and do something REAL! Come on people!!!

This app is great and is a wonderful way to communicate with my friends and online people. But sometimes i can’t send certain words. For example I tried to send the word “guys” and it says it’s “SEXUAL CONTENT” so I can’t send it. Yes, it’s good that you’re not allowed to send bad stuff like the but i feel like it’s a little too strict. I would also like it if you could maybe ad some calls on it too! That’s would be something I would look forward to.

I WOULD of liked to enjoy the app

Ok, I’ll just make a new one in the meantime. 5 minutes later, DELETED AGAIN. A lot of other people had this exact same experience that I know. I didn’t swear, be mean, anything. IRL, please fix this, and if you do I will re-download the app.

I like the concept of the app, but it’s very glitchy and filled with both little kids and scammers. Literal CHILDREN would send photos of themselves to groups, so unsafe. There needs to be an age restriction. Also, all the friend requests I got were from people who were asking for money or my cashapp or whatever. I’m deleting for now, hopefully it will be improved later.

I saw an ad and downloaded it .. work perfectly and was insanely fun to use with my family and friends. Which is why I gave it 3 stars- Have not used it for a few days come back and it is completely changed …it’s now a group chat all you can do is pick a group to chat or follow where they disabled the comments. There is no option to create your memes with your words like before. I deleted it and reinstall same issue and I am not able to get back to those options, only the group feature I did not sign up to use group chats. Not sure if it’s a flaw but don’t like being tricked or lied to.

Wants access to all my contacts.

I’m sorry, but what you’re saying about giving only access to the contacts a choose is a lie. The only option to select is “contacts.” After reading all the comments about peoples contacts are being spammed with messages about your app and seeing that you can’t move on without selecting to give access to my contacts; was enough for me to say no! I’m sure the app is great and all, but I’m not ticking a bunch of people off just so you all can get more subscribers. Remove the option of having to give access to my contacts and I’ll consider trying again.

Great app

Don’t listen to the negative reviews. Just use the app on messages. I never use the app to communicate. I only use the meme feature on messages. So far, it’s been working great. No issues whatsoever. If you don’t want to have issues (again can’t confirm that there’s issues since I’ve never used the actual app to communicate with people) just use the iMessage feature that comes along with the app. Just be sure to create an account first. Other than the (not even a negative really) minuscule con that you have to create an account, I highly recommend this app for iMessage.

Tried to make an account with my email and it said “Phone is not enabled for your country, please use…”. I can’t even click to read the rest, as far as I can see? Might wanna make that an option so people know what to do
EDIT: Worked two days later, but the app is incredibly laggy and it takes forever to switch the page you’re on. Maybe it’s because I was in one of the bigger groups, but still annoying. The community is also. Something, for sure. The app also didn’t ask for permission to access my photos before i added a pfp as far as I can remember which is kinda sketching me out. Overall very strange experience, keeping my rating the same. Good luck to the devs

Im one of those people who are hard to get on a new app. Maybe it’s because I’m over the age of 25 and we watched the mania of app life integration from the begin, but... I do have to say I got sold on this one. I’ve been off of social media for over a year now feeling overwhelmed by everyone’s energetic shares about things that mainly didn’t really correlate to important in the NOW happenings. Once I cut off IG and FB I felt so much better energetically and emotionally - but I missed having a platform where I could genuinely engage with my friends. What I like about IRL is that it’s only focus is giving you a digital tool to actually make plans that matter IN REAL LIFE. I know every time I’m opening this app, I’m not just mindlessly scrolling through content. I’m actually doing something valuable for myself and friends! So yes, 4 stars for now. I can tell this app is generally built for a younger audience than mine, but sincerely hope this catches on for all age groups.💜💜💜🌈🌈🌈😻😻😻😻

I came across the IRL app and it is something I have been looking for and never knew existed - an app to integrate social events into my calendar and enjoy those events along with my close friends. I pulled in the schedule of my favorite sports teams into my calendar - now I have everything in one place. Probably a good app to use during the next fantasy football events. It is cool that the app promotes events 'in real life' - something so much necessary to bring people out of cocoons and interact.

The focus of this app is utilizing your contacts and local events to actually become social again... Plan and attend events with your friends and people you have common interests with. And also stay in touch with them in group chats.
As we come out of Covid I believe this will be awesome to check out what’s going on in your area and organize with your friends on who’s going where and when. Actually use social media to interact with each other in real life and not just be hooked on a platform in isolation. 👍🏼👍🏼

Social media for the active people!

When we think about a social media app, we usually come up with the image of younge people and adults stuck on their phones for hours. IRL is different because it is a social media calendar app. IRL actually enourages people to plan, go out and meet together in real life. People can stay active instead of being addicted to the phone. You can sync the contacts from your contact list. It is very easy to use. You can also find events that are happening around the area. The calendar app also has a built in chat feature. I highly recommend this app!

This is So fresh and so clean!. no more struggle trying to plan a gathering or meeting. I found easily chatting, and making plans from my calendar invites on the go. it is Seamlessly integrated so anyone can message friends however they like to communicate. A calendar app with a built in chat is really awesome.
For the college students, This is really good, when I validate my .edu I had access to event discovery only for students where found and share the dopest events happening on or around my campus.
Thank you

The IRL app is an amazing tool to organize all of your group’s communication and calendars. Using phone messaging has been problematic between iOS and droid users ( I noticed this especially between my droid husband and iOS me) getting messages dropped or out of order. This apps gets fir of that. It’s also great for when you want to compartmentalize groups without searching through a million messages. I have a book group, movie group and a sports group. I love how there are suggestions for activities in the area. The calendar is a key feature that sets this apart from other apps. Overall this is amazing for type As to organize group chats snd social calendars.

I was initially skeptical of this app as I’ve never used something like this before. However, my friend recommended it to me as we wanted to plan more virtual meet ups with our friends due to Covid. And I just got to say, this app does it all! Not only is it an easy way to gather existing friends together, it is really easy to make new friends!
I love the suggestions that IRL has and there are such a variety of events that I’m sure there is one for everyone. The messaging feature is awesome and being able to connect with my Alma mater is really exciting. Have used the app for 5 days and I’m definitely not going to delete it! Highly recommend especially during these tough times.

I want to first say that this app is amazing and so easy to use people need to download this app! I love how you can easily connect together as a group or just a individual. Being able to put a event on your calendar is also a easy process that you can do within this app. I am able to get my family together to set up a family gathering or event with this app ! This app is so much better than any other app where you can text as a group or text someone individually. I started inviting my family to start using this app and they also loved it, now being able to plan out trips or events is so much more fun ! I personally love this app and can’t wait to invite others to use it too ! You won’t regret downloading this app !☺️

Thankful for this!

After reading about this about app online I knew I just had to get it to make scheduling and communicating more simple and I’m so happy I got it! I mainly use this to chat with my friends when our must watch shows are on - more so now because of covid restrictions, and it has been a stay-at-home person saver! Everyone is updated on the events so no one is left behind, it’s really sweet. I’ve also used this for freelance work meetings and might just stick with this for good :)

The UI of the app is very appealing & attractive for any age group. The best use of this app I will have in my family is to use it as a solely calendar app for my kids sports & school activities & I can share the same with my partner or some family member by creating group. This way I don’t need to share my native whole calendar personal details to them. The month calendar with all famous days are very helpful to be up to date with all celebrations around the world.

Great track app!

The app really works for me, not only does it help me keep track of everything I have to do, but it’s also really easy to deal with. I’ve never had an app with such detail and such an easy interface. Honestly it’s also really cool how you can follow and keep track about your social events with others on the app. Not only can you follow and share with them, you can also chat! It’s a lot like some other apps but has a very different style that’s really appreciated. If you usually can’t get things done and need things done, use this! It’ll be fun and you might even make a new friend or two. I love it!

I am very much enjoying the IRL calendar app. I like to stay as organized as possible and using this to coordinate events with family and friends has helped tremendously. I think the app is pretty easy to use and user-friendly. I like that I can also keep updated on events going on near me and add them to my calendar.
The best part about this app for me has been organizing my family’s calendar. I use IRL to coordinate where everyone will be and when.
Overall, I think this is a great app that I will continue to use into the future.

This app is easy to use. It’s a for the most part a calendar app. You can add events, invite friends, make the event private or public, let your friends invite friends or keep it low key. You can sync it to your google calendar, so you can have all of your events in one place. There is an explore page which tells about people you’ve followed and possible events they may be having, following them and hearting an event adds it to your calendar, like a possible suggestion for the day. It helps me stay a little bit more organized.

I usually have to go through the trouble with sending an event or events to several of friends and family. At times I find it rather inconvenient to do this due to the fact that at times there’s a glitch of some sort when clicking on the link. Or the links send you over somewhere else and not to the intended point. With this app is a whole lot easier to send invites to current events and create a plan, so if the notifications are on everyone will be reminded . This is an absolute awesome app for those who love traveling , socializing and experiencing new thing. I totally recommend

If you got a text message with the invite saying, “someone complimented you” take a minute and think about how in the world someone could complement you when you’re not already on that app. Then take a moment to think about how the hell they got your phone number- basically don’t instal for that sole purpose. If you do decide to install I highly. HIGHLY. Suggest you read the privacy policy and terms of service on the first menu, asking you to ‘enter your phone number’ click those little blank links before you continue- they want to take all your info, your IP, your contacts, your personal information— that’s how you contribute to the constant spam emails calls and texts that go out. So please, think about it.
Also think about how strange it is that an app developer opens a app for kids “12+” and wants them to fill out everything from their phone number to their personal location, schools, friends, contacts. Yeah that’s fishy- this info will most certainly be sold to third party, and that can lead you to a whole heap of trouble.
Don’t download, I’m surprised as hell that apple allowed this app to even go public.

Hello, this app looks nice. I’d actually play with it more if it didn’t seem sketchy as all heck. If a friend wants to “compliment” me, I need to know which friend it is. This is a matter of privacy.
The company has stated they hold back the name of the person who sent the nomination because they want to keep their data private. This disregards the fact that by not telling you who sent it, you are invading my privacy by stealing my phone number and texting me without consent.
If you simply tell the user who sent these nominations, I won’t feel so scammed. As it stands, the fact you don’t makes this sound incredibly sketchy. Until this is resolved, I am marking this down as “spam marketing” and will have to report it in a few days.

I downloaded the game after I got home from work cause I had a text message that someone ‘nominated’ me and I was curious. Not more than 3 hours later my dad comes to me with a FB post picture of a screenshot of the text message they send you to get you to join, and apparently girls have been going Missing because they use your location and its for sex trafficking. Now I dont know how much of that is true, but its better safe than sorry I only gave it such a high review so people can see this

I really love this app for bringing in new ways to get people together. It has all these wonderful suggestions and challenges for activities to go out and do with friends and family. Once you’re connected through your contacts you are able to select an event such as go for a hike and invite as many people as you would like for whatever date to go hiking with you. Has a wonderful array of choices ranging from date night with your significant other to a wonderful brunch with friends. It also has a great way to keep you connected by letting you anonymously nominate people for badges everyday such as chillest beach jam bringer or the Bear Grills of the group. My only critique is that when you search for people in your contacts, if you search with more than two or three letters it no longer lets you select the person. It must be some kind of bug that I hope will be fixed soon. But other than that I love the idea and action behind this app to get more people out there and connected face-to-face and socially interacting with fun activities instead of just staying home alone on the weekends.

I have literally never used this app once and honestly don’t plan to from the negative reviews I have read. Somehow I have gotten about 10 different invites from different numbers for this app. But the weird thing is that they were all different variations of he text and some links would bring me to a blank screen. I thought nothing of it and deleted the messages. I got a few more and decided to just ignore them. Today I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a post that said that if you received a message along the lines of the messages I have been receiving promoting your app that it is linked to a sex trafficking ring and that even clicking the link can give you all my personal information including where I am when I follow the link. I’m not sure whether this rumor is true or not but more people should know before downloading this app in case it is something potentially darker.

This app seems like a spam approach for exposure. I got a random message from an unknown number with an anonymous compliment in the app. I had to download it to see. I thankfully did not enable access to my contacts, but other commenters mentioned that this app sent messages out to their whole contact list. Even after requesting the complimenter’s identity was not shown, which made it even weirder. I also don’t know anyone in my friend group with the app, which makes the compliment seem like a trick to download and give info. Also, I just saw a post on social media yesterday that this app might be used for trafficking and it would not surprise me with how weird it was. I deleted my account pretty quick. It didn’t feel safe. I’m sure the creator had decent intentions, but it just felt sketchy in practice. I would not recommend.

This is the worst app I have ever come across in my life. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! This “update” they talk about allows you to skip some things but still requires you to give permission for them to access your contacts and location before you can view who the mystery person is that complimented you (which is super creepy to begin with). THEN it sends out a text to everyone in your contacts telling them they have also been complemented which is a SCAM to get them to download the app.
I only ever downloaded it because I couldn’t stop the texts and was hoping if I could figure out who was “complimenting me” I could ask them to stop. Now everyone in my phone has gotten the same text I had gotten and I STILL don’t know who had my number and sent it to me to begin with.

I have only had this app for five minutes but I’m already enjoying it. I love sending anonymous messages to my friends and fam using this app. This app is great, but it does have its set backs. It’s first setback is familiarity to other apps. I have had many other apps that have similar features like basically the same content. It would be pretty hard to keep up with the other apps considering it’s basically the same. Another setback is the choosing of “noms”. Contact choice is small with only four options. Many of the other apps have the same feature (four contacts to choose out of). My point is, if you added more contact choices it would be more accurate and more fun considering I have 196 contacts.

I haven’t had this app for very long but I think it’s Pretty Neat. Not only is it just designed so very cute, but it’s easy to navigate too. I like how you can only compliment others, however when I want to nom a specific friend who’s not listed in the given options from my contacts it won’t work for me? Unless it’s not supposed to then I don’t know why being able to choose someone yourself is an option? Anyways I think this a cool concept; for some reason it seems like an even better way to be able to make plans then just texting or group chatting; seems cleaner. Like, there’s specific polls you can create so people can vote on things they want for the activities you invite them to which is so handy cause then it’s not 10 people arguing in imessage and now you have to scroll back and forth to see what’s what, instead it’s all right there in ordered votes! There’s a lot more but basically it seems so organized and it’s nice to see the developers so interactive in their own creation, I’ve seen so many replies to the reviews and the ability to recommend activities is pretty cool, which I’m totally about to abuse 😂
4/5, easy 😃

Firstly I will say that the interface it cute. That’s the only nice thing I have to say. This app says that my friend “nominated” me when everyone I know says they didn’t. After I was sent a download link through my PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER and I downloaded the app to see what it was, my family members began receiving texts saying that someone had “nominated” them. I see that MANY other customers have had this problem and all the developers say is “that’s impossible”, as if they don’t understand that glitches and bugs are real things that exist and instead of ignoring their customers, they should check into it. It makes me feel like it’s all a ploy to get personal information. Who needs an app to plan things with their friends anyway? There are already several ways to contact each other and in my opinion this is useless. If I thought it was just a free harmless app then I wouldn’t say anything but these random texts are annoying as well as the fact that they are essentially sending them to YOUR contacts THEMSELVES without YOUR PERMISSION. I do not take kindly to that. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS APP FOR SPAM AND INVASION OF PRIVACY.

This app is a scam and what they are doing is illegal. According to the FCC’s TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act) regulations, it is illegal to automatically contact a customer over text or phone call without their explicit written consent. I was not given any sort of clear and conspicuous disclosure that I would be contacted by the company providing this app’s services and I will be reporting this app to the FCC for violating the TCPA.
In case the developers are not aware of what “clear and conspicuous disclosure” means, here’s a list of what they need t do before they start automatically testing people:
Identify each specific company to whom consent is being provided
Identify the consumer’s phone number
Indicate a clear and affirmative agreement (i.e., I agree/ consent)
Disclose that the consumer is authorizing the seller to engage in telemarketing (i.e., to receive offers related to the seller’s products or services)
Disclose that the calls will be made using automated technology
Disclose that the consumer is not required to provide consent as a condition of purchasing products or services
Obtain the consumer’s signature (either electronically through E-SIGN or handwritten)
None of these things were done and I am livid. I have now been texted several times, which means that my information was disclosed by another person without my consent. I am livid and I will be reporting this app to the FCC.

I’m going to just point out the obvious, this is a scam. why? well just allow me to explain.
usually developers for one like to act like they care about the stuff you say, so they respond to the reviews but only to get more of your personal information. the only contact source is through a sketchy email.
secondly, I have a block list from all these random numbers saying “you have a compliment!” and only way I can see it is download the app. sure, my age group is naïve enough to be like “what I have a compliment? I need to be more loved!” and download the app. that’s how they hook people from specific groups. how can they tell? the information your friend gives them when they illegally go against privacy policy.
they claim some “news” network presented their “company”, but if they get paid enough money people; they WILL sponsor someone. don’t forget, this world lives off of money nowadays.
if this comment is taken down and you read all of this before it happened, I promise you it’s to keep their imagine and hide these “rumors” from you.
don’t be a dummy and give them your information.

I have never downloaded this app. I didn’t even know what it was until I got a text message for it! I replied back “STOP” and it never did. I’ve gotten well over ten messages at this point, each one from different numbers. I keep blocking them but they continue changing the number to get around it. This last time I replied stop even though it didn’t tell me to and 3 seconds after it sent, I got another one with a gif this time. I’ve already reported this to Apple, im about to report it to my cellular service and I’m changing my phone number. It’s sad I have to go to these lengths to be left alone.
Delete this stupid app, or better yet, don’t download it at all!! The same company had another app called Gather that got banned for the same reason, and rightly so.

About a week ago I got a message about some World Cup event with Mario Garcia. Someone I do not know. Ignored it. But it got sent again the next day I replied with “STOP” and it said I unsubscribed when I never did but, ok I was glad It would stop it would ring at random times.
BUT NOW for the past week I got 21 messages at 4 in the morning from different phone numbers asking me to join the World Cup event. The World Cup has already ended what is this. I woke up in the middle of the night from a hard working day to this it disrupted my sleep. I blocked ALL 21 numbers. Just so the next day they can do the exact same thing the next night. I am tired of waking up in the middle of the night by 21 messages, I have replied stop to all and proceeded to block them. All I wanna do is enjoy one night of sleep, yes I have turned off my phone just to wake up to the same 21 messages and to my wife getting mad at me for not being able to pick up our ,son at 3am from the air port. This is the reason why I have my phone on at night in case of an EMERGENCY. 21 messages to download some St00pid app. Please i hope this company never succeeds because the way they do things is horrific. I have co faceted then and I have yet to get a response.

Found a weird text message and researched the url, and ended up going to the App Store to see what was up with it. The reviews seemed oddly good considering what Reddit and the rest of the internet had to say about it. Someone claiming to be the creator responded to the first post on my Reddit search, and wrote about a page talking about how on the up and up it was. How companies can get away with this I’m frankly so surprised. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. I downloaded it to do some more research into what it was, and about an hour later my friend texted me about this weird spam text they got. Guess who? IRL. We have only a few friends in common, and the person who received the text doesn’t give their phone number out to anyone except their friends. Make sure to report them if you get the chance.

I didn’t know the app existed. None of my friends have it, and no one that could possibly know me have it. I randomly got a text in “Messages,” saying someone I know said Hi. Then it sent a bunch of links to their app, and said find out who it was. I knew it wasn’t a virus from the link address, but I asked everyone who it could’ve been if they knew about it. No one knew what it was about. I wasn’t aware that an App Store app was allowed to send advertisements to random people on their personal phone number, to try and make them download their app, by pretending the person has friends who use it and want to talk to them. I wanted to rate them zero stars for a lack of proper tactics of recruiting new people for their cult. But since I can’t rate them 0 I decided 1 was good enough.

My daughter just received a text message stating someone had issued her a compliment in IRL. In order to access any information, WHICH SOMEONE ELSE HAS ALREADY PROVIDED, you need to download the app and continue to dish out more personal details. For young teens to be contacted by social media and asked to share information like their school name, birthday, name, etc. When someone has already passed along her phone number is alarming. I do not know what was said about my child. I do not know if it was done with maliciousness or kindness but I do know that it encourages other kids to give up information about their peers to lure them to the site. Not ok! Whatever process was involved it was started without her consent or mine. This could prove very dangerous going forward. Not for my child.

I haven’t used the app very much but as far as I know there is no way to talk to my friends through the app. I think that feature might make it better. But as I said I’m not sure because I haven’t used the app very much. Maybe you could even message people who nominated you before they Ben reveal themselves to you. Which brings me to my next point. It needs to be easier to find out who nominated you without the other person having to reveal it. Either it should just immediately tell you who nominated you or if you want to know who it was you just have to press a few buttons instead of having to wait for the other person to reveal it if they ever do. It’s killing me not knowing who nominated me and I’ll probably never know. But I really want to know. I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!

This app is a really good concept. However, some things need to be expanded upon, improved, and fixed. The planning of events needs to offer more detail, allowing the addition of a location and time that can be edited at any time. Also, I have consistently dealt with the app crashing whenever I want to reveal a nom. Also, I think this app could use some additional features because now it does very little besides event planning. Advertising would also do this app well as right now very few of my friends use this app.

This app has texted my personal cell phone for days now! This app takes information from one of my phone contacts and sends text message spam to users on their contact list. It’s ridiculous! I really don’t care how good this app is or what it does, the fact is that this app will without your knowledge, send spam to your contact list. When you use your contact list in the app IRL gets all your contacts. Do you really want your family to get spam all the time?Look it up, there’s already been complaints online about this. I do not give my phone number out often, and it’s unsettling that an app I didn’t even sign up for can use my information from one of my friends. I don’t even know which friend! Who knows if they sell this information to other companies/organizations. This needs to stop.

When I first heard of irl I though it was just a way to start another fight for popularity due to the voting and noms, but it turns out it’s totally different!!!
You can nom your friend anonymous just to compliment them on their awesomeness. Just to make people feel good! It is also such a cute and fun way to plan activities with friends, the animations are so cute! I just had an idea, what if you have a list part, where with the invite you swipe right and you can look up and place little animations of the things you/they need to bring? I just think that would add even more. Thanks so much I love it!😍😍😍😍😍

Privacy Infringement

This app allows people to give it your number so it can send you texts you don’t consent to. It allows the developers to crowdsource phone numbers of people where they like it or not. I never would have given this app my phone number but that’s okay because my “friends” did it for me. They have my first name, last name, phone number, and where I go to school. Somehow this is worse than the Cambridge analytica scandal just because I didn’t agree to have my personal data given up. The developers of this app have created an absolutely ingenious way of harvesting phone numbers without people’s consent. I don’t know how this got into the App Store, but it’s a blatant infringement on people’s privacy. It allows the developers to download your whole address book without the people whose numbers you’re giving out’s consent.

As much as I understand that in order to know the activity of nearby students from your school, you cant skip that step. I want to be able to see and do stuff without allowing an entrance to my contacts or location. I like the idea, but the fact that more than one person wants to be able to do such things without giving this information, and having it not be resolved, is quite unsettling. Please do ready my review and see my side of the story. If there is a simple non-sketchy reason, then I will satisfied with the app, but until then, I am not quite satisfied.

This is the sketchiest app I have ever seen. You get a completely anonymous message about a “nomination from a friend” that forces you to download the app and agree to give all of your information (contacts, location, school, etc.) just to see who out of the people you know was foolish enough to send you a scam. All it takes is one friend agreeing to give out their contacts for IRL to have your phone number without the consent of the owner of the number. This is a breech of my privacy and whoever sent me the nomination’s contacts’ privacy.
Not to mention there is no “skip button” to go ahead and see who sent you the nomination like they’ve said in previous comments and in order to get in to the app you have to agree to their terms of service that is essentially just one more step to them having permission to access your information.
Based on all of the other comments I’ve read I’m just going to get an email link in response, however I do not even want to directly give my email to this shady company. I thought that after all of this business with companies stealing information that people would be smarter, but I suppose I was wrong.
Moral of the story kids, if you have a device that can get this app, you have a device that you can easily message your friends to make plans. Do not give this app access to all of your “friends” and contact’s phone numbers.

Apparently someone thinks I’m an “earthshaker” and that made me feel cool, haha. 😁 Truth is, I am a mom of 3 little ones in my mid/late 20s and I barely downloaded the app to find out about it after someone (I have yet to find out who it is!) nominated me. I thought I could just send in a compliment/nomination to a specific person, but how the app works is it gives you a title and 4 names from your contact list show up for you to choose in multiple choice fashion. It’s a fun “game” to play and wish I could do more those. I like the shuffle and the skip options, so you don’t have to nominate random ppl. We’ll see what my friends will think of all the “noms” I gave out. I like the “positivity” it spreads when you nominate your friends for fun titles. While I think this app is targeting high schoolers, I found it fun and hope it becomes a thing with the youth, as I believe it could create fun connections and an overall “feel-good” friendships. (Not to mention the option to invite friends to do things together, which I have yet to explore!)

I got a texted saying I was “voted for” and to download the app for more information. I read the reviews and in several the developers say that you can see who nominated you and info about the app without having to reveal your location and contacts. That’s very misleading. The “noms” are anonymous and you can request for the person to reveal themselves. After you do that, you’re asked to give the app access to your location and contacts. You can do nothing else. You can’t see anything about how the app works. You can’t actually judge how the app works and whether or not you trust it to have access to your information. You have to give it access or you see nothing. I don’t want some app I can’t see anything about have access to my contacts. The reviews accusing the app of sending invites en masse to people’s contacts don’t really put my inherent suspicions to ease.

Enabling Contacts= Notifications

I had read some reviews and had thought that by allowing contacts, the app wasn’t going to notify everyone on you contact list. I got the app and enabled contacts, and the next thing I know my uncle called and said he had gotten a notification for this app. I find this really annoying- I think it would be better if the app only invited people you wanted to invite.
Update: To clarify, I allowed the app to have access to my contacts, and that’s when it sent a text to my uncle. I find this annoying because even though I let it have access to contacts, that does not mean it should use my contacts to send notifications to whoever it wants so more people find out about the app. Also, I did not think it would send a text to him, as I never invited him individually. Basically, it sent him a text without me knowing for no better reason than I had enabled contacts.
Even if it’s a good app, I don’t feel comfortable knowing that it could send a text to anybody I have a contact of without me knowing.

Update: ok the app doesn’t mass invite your contacts anymore 👍. That’s a good sign. The app and the idea of taking peoples eyes off of the screen and actually spend time with friends is very good. Hopefully it will stick around. Better than a lot of other “social network” apps. Keep up with the good work guys.
First I’d like to say that I understand the concept of the app and I have no problems giving the app permissions. But I’ve seen how you guys wrongly use that permission and just wanted to make sure I’ll not spam everyone in my contacts by giving you guys access to it. So giving you guys access to my contacts will automatically send them an invite or will it let me chose the people I want to be invited? I’ll update my review after the response. Thank you.

Update: above is my original review, but after using the app more I am beginning to love it even more. My favorite think about it is that it’s just soooo much better than group chats or texting people individually. It’s really helps so much for just making plans and having that be the focus of the app. If it was just chatting then this would not be the app, because I can’t even send videos in the chat, but that’s not the point of this app. The point is to do things irl which is way better and it’s just so useful!
I had a few invites since creating my review and have just noticed even more how amazing it is. Once you get all your friends out to do something that you want to do through this app you will see what I mean. Also the noms are super fun, but the invites are where it’s at. And like I said before, I wish that the app would have more suggestions, because the suggestions are super useful for when you are board you can find things to do with your friends. It’s just the best I am excited to keep using this app to do things irl

Please don’t fall for this app like I did!

Originally, I thought this app sounded like a great idea. I saw it was a top free app on the App Store, and I downloaded it. I created a profile and everything, and the app looked really neat! I think it’s a super good idea and the app itself is actually very visually appealing and easy to use. Then, I took the time to read some of the App Store reviews, in which negative the dies were cleverly hidden between positive reviews, all of which the game developers had responded to- to show they cared. I saw the reviews that said it was a scam and I started getting scared. I have adults and my friends parents in my contacts, I didn’t want them to get an invite that I didn’t send! I went back to the app, and the “invite your friends” option seemed legit, so I wasn’t too concerned. But sure enough, the next day my friend asked me if I sent her mom an irl invite. I was mortified! I can’t even imagine getting a social media app invite from your daughter’s friend! And to think of all the people in my contacts, including my Mom’s adult friends and a doctor!!! I really hope the developers realise that those invites they send out WITHOUT permission aren’t just going to teens.

This is kinda funny

It certainly was entertaining reading the vastly different types of comments to this app. Oddly enough there is barely any person who hates on this app for any reason other than them saying its a scam. There's not many apps that dont have normal issues that customers will rage at. Plus the positive reviews all sound pretty much identical. Additionally, it's pretty easy to simply read the terms and conditions which basically claim they have the right to store and use your information and you can't sue them for it... Nice idea and I'm sure a lot of people fall for it but there is pretty much no reason for you to need this much information and to not even let people use the app without giving information on their contacts...
Basically: 99% sure this is a scam. But it was certainly entertaining to read about. Bye bye now!
