No friends until I’m 18
I have to be 18 to friends
Good idea but needs work
Bring back ages on profiles! Warn us of flagged words before posting so we don’t get post blocked. For example I posted that my feet were sore after work and I’m assuming “feet” is a flagged word. In this context it should not be flagged. This leads to a completely wasted post. Improve friend lists! It’s annoying tabbing through other pages just to reply to friends. Friendliness stars are great but you need to implement negative marks for those who use this app inappropriate and disrespectfully. That’s about it. If these issues and improvements are addressed this could be a 5 star app.

Lots of things don’t work properly
So if I upload a picture from my phone it doesn’t show up at all in the profile. It’ll be listed when I try to edit my photos but doesn’t show at all for anyone who looks at my profile. It only puts up pictures imported from Facebook. I went to settings and clicked into the Help & Support menu to see if this was a known problem with a fix but I didn’t see anything. Try to back out but… there’s no back button programmed into the help section. You have to close the whole app and reenter. Right below the Help & Support option is a “Report an issue” link. This doesn’t function at all. It isn’t clickable. So there’s no actual way to report an issue apparently? I guess the developers aren’t actually interested in having the best version of the their product out there.
Then when it comes to using the app, honestly feels kind of pointless. I’m a woman so my inbox is just thirsty men. This isn’t even a dating app but you best believe almost every man on there is using it like one. Yeah you can report people for unwelcome flirtiness, but yeah that’s most of them. And you can only post responses to a prompt, and you can’t remove any parts of or edit a prompt either, so it just feels really rigid.

Not much to it - and really Buggy.
I’m constantly having to email tech support because for some reason, my account acts like it’s not online sometimes even though I’m active on it. For example, when I make a Post, a month will go by, and it won’t show it as having any views (which is virtually impossible due to the cyclical nature of everyone’s feed). Also, for the last few messages I’ve sent, they haven’t gone through so my friends haven’t been able to view/read them. I’m really tired of this app bugging out on me. I’ve had the app a few years now, and the only “update” it’s gotten is the price for it has gone up.
Fun for a couple weeks, but it’s not worth the download. Find a different app to socialize with.

Message limit is horrible
I started using this app at a time when I was clinically depressed, I spoke to a lot of people and it helped me gain more confidence and belief in myself. I didn’t realize the good in other people because I only see the worst of people on other apps, and this was my favorite because people felt genuine, and it felt like people actually cared. People were actually positive and nice on here, and whenever someone would open up and be vulnerable, people could be there to encourage and support them. I loved the environment it created. But now with the message limit, nobody messages each other. All you see is the worst of what other people are going through, and the app is much worse, because you couldn’t help people if you wanted to. I think that it took away the strongest point of the entire app, and makes it virtually pointless to ever go on here. I can see that if you could talk to anyone, it would be hard to talk to many people, but I think the limit should at least be raised. I think the best design might be to allow you to talk to a limit on the number of people a day. If you only allow by the number of messages, people will go somewhere else and the app is no better than those that are just friend recommenders for snapchat. It takes away all that I think makes this app unique and the very reason I loved it in the first place.

Was hoping for better
I was looking for an app to talk to people and hopefully make a few friends. However, it’s not all that well-managed who replies to whatever innocent thing you put out there. The app gives you little cards where you can enter an opinion and then others who use the app are able to reply to you in private message. Unfortunately like most social media apps there are plenty of extremely unhinged and nasty people out there. I will say that mostly people were fairly kind, but I got a few replies that were utterly disturbing. One reply I received suggested I kill myself. Another commented on how stupid I sound. I did not personally reach out to these people, the app just has strangers reply to random thoughts you put out there on various topics. I wanted a fairly safe place to meet others and to make friends. it seems that it’s not well monitored or controlled who might respond to you. This kind of crap is why I really don’t like social media or use it that much. It’s too bad that in civilized Society people will act this way, but people are people. This is the type of thing that just makes me more cynical about the world and about attempting to make connections with people. Oh well.

Black Hole Sucking My Messages?
I was having an awesome convo with someone. Suddenly, I stopped receiving messages. I thought “okay, maybe she somehow found out about something I did terrible in the past and she doesn’t want to talk to me”, which was quite optimistic. I didn’t think much of it, so I continued responding to posts and trying to make friends and avoiding guys that are down bad terribly (I’m a guy myself but seriously some of these guys are pathetic considering the name of the app). Anyway I thought the problem was a “me” thing, maybe I’m too ugly and they worry I’ll infect them or something. But, three days go by and I receive nothing??? At this point I’m questioning the app itself cuz ain’t no way on the first day I download this app I start having MULTIPLE convos with MULTIPLE ppl and then I’m suddenly getting ghosted? Like what kind of evil person would create an app called “Friended” when all that’s happening to me are tumbleweeds bouncing across my screen. I’ve tried uninstalling, permanently deleting my account, and using different emails just to hopefully get back into action, psyche. Now I’m here writing a review idk what to star, is this a 1 worthy? I’ll be generous a give a three cuz I did have fun and interesting conversations the first few days. But, if y’all know how to fix this help a bro out.

Great Concept Poot execution
So the app itself is great it has good features to connect with people and simple to use interface. The problem is that everything is locked behind a paywall and it’s an expensive one as well. The basic membership is 8 dollar PER WEEK, not month totaling 32 for the whole month. On top of that even when you pay some things still can’t be done often such as posting. It makes you wait about 2 hrs between post even after paying. Also you lose your ability to message people really quickly once you reach your limit if you aren’t paid up. Every update has locked a feature that is essential for talking behind a paywall making this an expensive app to use. Overall I’m going to stop using it which is sad because I highly enjoy this app. They need to do something about the way they set up their paywall.

Apps not working now
Having trouble receiving friends messages and apparently they are not receiving my messages. Not sure what’s going on. Really love this app until now would like to continue please help correct this problem. I can’t get any response from anyone nor and I guess they are not getting my messages. This happened shortly after I block someone making my sexual advances which I ask them not too but they continued. So I blocked them after that I lost connection with everyone not sure if it’s related or not just found it strange it happened right after that. I would give a five but losing contact with all my friends I’ll give a 3
