Better flagging system necessary
I really liked this app I just feel that they should be very thorough with reading peoples messages I was speaking to another female about how men will sometimes message us and how it’s frustrating that people will be like hey show me your boobs and I have been banned for just having a conversation I think it is ridiculous there’s no way for me to contact the support if something comes up and it is flagged as possibly breaking the rules I feelThat they should be banned for a week or get a email saying it has been flagged that way they can review it as a post to completely kicking somebody out of the app it was a really fun app and I really liked it butto that they should be banned for a week or get a email saying it has been flagged that way they can review it as a post to completely kicking somebody out of the app it was a really fun app and I really liked it but being banned for having a conversation just because it had the word boobs in it it’s quite ridiculous and I feel that it should be reviewed immensely

Kinda back & forth on this app
So, been using this app a while. Mostly just for fun, because it’s been rather terrible for finding anyone local and they restricted prompts to every 8 hours (paid features to unlock). Now they’ve made good changes where you filter by Now or Nearby for free and post time has been reduced to a 3 hour cooldown. But then they also took away to ability to post prompts as either Friendly or Flirty. I feel that’s a mistake and they should have simply added the ability to make Neutral posts (you could actually do that before by not selecting either Friendly or Flirty, but now all posts are neutral). Having MORE prompt types is better than less.
I think the changes will make the app more useful but less fun.
Also, I’m kinda running out of useful prompts.
One things I wish they would add is the ability to give stars (or a different social currency) for good prompt answers. I don’t always want to respond to a prompt, but want to note the uniqueness or cleverness of someone’s conversation opener.
It’s been a novel app, but not sure how much longer I’ll use it.

Don’t see the point of paying
Cool app. Talked to some nice people. Don’t get why anybody would pay $8/WEEK to: see who views your profile, post whenever you want, send messages, swipe through posts... if the point is to make friends why exploit that in a $32/month commitment? The app has potential but charging people that ridiculous amount of money or even at all just seems to negate the whole purpose of the app. People want to make friends and maybe this is an app for people who are desperate enough for a social life and I don’t mean that so negatively but it just doesn’t seem right. Use your phone to connect with people from around the world but pay to talk to them! Isn’t that the typical layout for a dating site? Facebook doesn’t make you pay to talk to your friends or limit how many posts you can make. I’m sure they can do better.

Cool app but-
Am I the only one having serious issues with my display photos? No matter how many times I try to change my display pics, the ones I have had previously set up won’t disappear and my newer pics won’t replace the old ones. ALSO my profile picture won’t change. I’ve tried deleting the app and re-downloading it several times to see if maybe it’s just a glitch or what not but NOPE- I’m STILL having this problem and it’s been an issue for months now. I would love to keep this app but my appearance changes so much- almost monthly if I’m being honest. And I would like to make sure my photos reflect my current look and style at the time they’re posted. If this issue can be resolved then other wise this is a great app.

The Tale of A Sinking Ship
Tldr: Community is and was always great. Toxic management practices have made the app unusable unless you pay them 8 dollars a month to use basic features that were previously free.
(I’ve used this app pretty much since its original version and have been apart of the community a long time)
They lock off your messages now after a few replies and put a deletion timer on it so that if you don’t pay them and you didn’t get another way to contact the person previously they are just gone. The site has no search feature so you can’t go find them again.
They also increased the timer for posting, it use to be about 4 hours or so but now is about 8 hours between being able to post. Unless you pay for their premium version.
They also are hard at work removing features and locking them behind a paywall. Such as being able to toggle the people near me switch that use to be a free feature, or the ability to swipe as much as you wanted which also was a free feature from the beginning.
They are either about to go under financially and are scraping everything they can to stay afloat or they have nothing but contempt for their user base. The longer you stay the more they push. Like a bad relationship. Ironic, aye friended?

This App Has So Much Potential!
For the developers ! This app is so close to being amazing. I love the way people are introduced and interact with each other. But...
1) The status cards that are fill in the blank are so dang negative, it’s crazy. And i look through all the posts and everyone either posted something crazy depressing or they have to post something that doesn’t make sense just to turn the sentence positive. Make more positive status cards to fill in.
2) You can’t paste into the text box when messaging someone. Really annoying.
3) The person’s profile picture when you are cycling through different statuses needs to be bigger so you can see what they look like instead of having to click on the status to talk to them, and then click in their picture again in the messaging platform just to go to their profile and see what they look like.
4) The notifications are whack. I’ll get message notifications for messages I’ve already read.
5) You can’t upload pictures from your phone’s gallery for a status. Only from Instagram and like 1 album from Facebook. It’s maddening.
All in all this app is a blast, i hope the developers turn it into all it could be!

Terrible age verification (Update)
My age on snapchat is above 18 and they won’t even let me provide ID age verification this app is sugar honey iced tea with a capital S. IF YOURE BORN IN 2000 YOU’RE 19. yet they tell me, “you must be 18” yeah i’m sure as hell not gonna pay for your microtransactions if i can’t even get in through the front door.
Update:
After consulting their “costumer service” or lack there of.
they said “Once you indicate that you’re under 18” when all I did was sign in with my snapchat.
After they said something so condescending to me, I don’t even have an interest in jumping through hoops to use their app.
I have to provide private information such as my ID in order to fix a mistake you chose to make with your arbitrary age verification which can’t even count? atleast Tinder knows 2000’s babies are all 18-19
would give 0/5 stars if it were in my power
not only did they waste my time downloading this app but they wasted my time giving me an email trying to blame me for their decision to lock me out, will make sure to tell my friends to steer clear of this useless excuse of an app.
the developer response to this will likely be some bs corporate speak, this is why apps like this don’t live long.

Fun and Safe! I need help, though.
As I said in the title, this is a great app! It’s public but private. The networking you achieve through this is so much fun. It’s an entire app about supporting others and just showing kindness. Do people still try using it like a dating app? Sure, lol. But there are ways (filters, no read receipts) available to protect against that.
My only complaint is that I signed up for the 7-day free trial and want to know how to unsubscribe in the future. I did some digging.. checked App Store, checked App Settings in my iOS, checked my Account Settings.. nada!
So could someone give me a hand?

I love this app, but it could be a bit better.
Ok this is by far the best app I have ever experienced, but there are a few things that I hope would be changed. 1. I paid 50 diamonds to post when I had under an hour to be able to post again, but after posting, it was reset to 3 hours. Not fair. By spending, I should have been able to keep the allotted time. Also, you’re only able to make a photo background for posts using the limited web browser search tool, or social media. Again, very limited on self expression. The price of $4.99 a week is asking a bit much. But it could be worth it if these changes are made. But one should be able to post as much as they want, especially if paying for premium, because why would we have to again buy diamonds? The gifts aren’t really real, I could send a gif of flowers or a smile. It’s a great concept, but I really hope you address these issues, because it doesn’t seem fair.

Hey! Thank you so much for the compliment! Also thank you for the feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We will keep your feedback in mind as we continue improving Friended. About the gifts - the benefit of sending users gifts such as flowers is that they convert into diamonds for the recipient. We'll address these issues as we move forward so you can have an even better experience on Friended. =)
Pretty good
I really enjoy using this app, of all the other apps it’s the best by far. Most of the time you always have someone to chat with and it’s cool. I’m glad that the payment options are not forced upon us because I wouldn’t pay to make “friends” lol.
Complaints/Additions -
1. The only thing I would add to make this app better is making time stamps to know exactly what time they texted you, because sometimes I see messages a little later but I’m never sure how late I am.
2. My last complaint would be that after I send a message, the app will randomly scroll up to a previous conversation between me and the person had and I don’t understand what that is about.
All in all, I really enjoy the app though!
