You HAVE to use Facebook is that a joke??
It’s 2019. Facebook is dead. Just ask the sheeple still using it, they’ll tell you it’s garbage. So why on earth would you want to force people to set up a profile based on Facebook? Is it because you’re trying to generate use of Facebook? Or is it because you need a convenient way to gather information? I downloaded this app, saw you had to log in with Facebook (I got off of FB over 5 years ago, best decision ever, you should try it) so I came back to read the reviews. Apparently when actual user traffic is high, and you’re female, it’s like thirsty guy city. If you’re a guy, you get attractive females that are paid actors in a sense, basically using marketing tricks to keep the conversation going. Gross. There are people out there that really just want to meet other people. So why do we need in app purchases? I get you need to make money, but isn’t that literally the point of filling your app with ads? I’m not trying to buy friendships. You guys are kinda sick....

It won’t let me login
I’ve had this app for a couple months and forgot about it so I decided to get back on it, I created an icebreaker and went to another app, when I got a couple notifications a minute later I went back on the app only to find that I need to login with my Facebook so I did and it said I do not meet the requirements for the criteria, but I am still getting new notifications from people,
I used to love this app because it was the only one I could build my social skills on, I have a very hard time making simple conversation with people and this app helped me get out of my comfort zone and talk to people and it really helped but now I can’t use it so I guess I will stand in silence when people try to talk to me because I don’t know how to respond like a normal human being,
If you could make it to where we don’t have to use Facebook to login I would definitely use it again and it would definitely get a five star review instead of one star

I like the concept!
I’ve managed to befriend a few people on here! The concept has allowed me to socialize with people from around the US. I’ve been using the app consistently for about four days now which is rare and I see myself using it continuously. Honestly, I love it. My only concern is that with them trying to make money, it will make features more and more inaccessible due to the lack of gems! Right now most features are accessible, the ice breakers, profiles, people’s pictures, etc. But I notice that if you want to message other ice breakers that are in people’s profiles, you have to pay up with gems. So it makes it harder to connect. You have 1 ice breaker to create per every 8 hours, which is tough, but manageable. My fear is that with time, with them trying to make money, they’ll make it harder for us users by adding required gems (money) to features already available to us. I hope not, cause I really do like this app!
Great job, guys!

Hey Xavyer, thanks for the feedback! We're so glad you are enjoying Friended. We understand and appreciate your concerns about the accessibility of Friended's features and we want you to know that we will do everything we can to make sure that every user, whether free or premium, has an awesome experience using Friended. =)
A joke
Where to begin? So I installed this app looking for friends to “click” with. Well for starters you are limited to like six ice breakers to post then have to wait 8 hours unless you spend gems which cost real money to instantly post. Second most people just heart my ice breaker and don’t say anything. Third thing is almost every single human being on this app is taken. Not saying I want a relationship which I don’t but it’s sooo awkward to be the only single person on this whole app.
Lastly and my main reason for hating this app. EVERYONE talks to you some times about your post or what you say like you guys could become friends right? WRONG they just block you. Share a cool pic of stuff your proud of? I got blocked by a person for showing my collection. I’m done. Just avoid this train wreck.

Fantastic concept
Love this app after using it for a few weeks. The icebreaker idea is awesome, the clip art available for the posts are great. I've enjoyed the convos I've had. And I'm glad to hear the politically based questions are being removed.
Main criticism for the app is it doesn't allow the Swype keyboard. Would be much easier to use.
I would suggest a way to eliminate older posts from likely inactive users. You see someone you might want to talk with, but then you see their last post was five months ago.
I won't complain about the premium fee, though I'd be more likely to pay it monthly than weekly.

App issues 😕
I’m rating this app at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars because there’s just two issues that I have with it. I do love❤️ this app it is a great way to connect📱 with people👋🤝. I believe I have rated it at five stars because it was like two days of me having the account and the rating thing kept popping up so now since I’ve had it for a bit longer I’ve just noticed🤓 things that I wish were different. 1️⃣- the count down3️⃣2️⃣1️⃣ of the icebreaker, why do I have to wait two hours🕑🔜🕓 until I can make another post? And 2️⃣-I don’t like how there’s already like a sentence💬🇦🇸 started for me. I want to be able to start🖊 a sentence and finish📝🏁 a sentence in my own words. If it says something that may not relate to me then I don’t know🤷♀️ how I could continue the sentence. I hope whoever sees this understands my #2️⃣ issue and thinks🤔💭 of another way to do that. Thank you! 🙏

Hi, thanks for the feedback! We put a time limit between posts to give everyone time to chat with someone new! The icebreakers are designed for you to fill in the blank with something relating to that icebreaker. It gives you a chance to be creative with it and let your personality show!
0 stars.
This app is seriously the worst. For starters, I connected my Facebook & I was expecting it to bring me to a page where I could customize my profile on the app, but nope it immediately pulled 6 random photos off my Facebook (some that weren’t even of me) & put them on my profile followed by an “ice breaker” asking for “song recommendations”. After that my phone seriously began to shut down because of the millions of notifications coming through to the app because it made this post to literally every single user on the app. So I’m struggling to figure out how to set everything up, all the while my phone is being blown up by notifications. Apparently you can’t add a photo of yourself from your camera roll (only can use Facebook or instagram) & you literally HAVE to have 6 photos. I don’t use my Facebook or instagram so I don’t even have 6 photos on myself on those socials that I could use, therefore I can’t even complete my profile. Also, i can’t delete the post that I didn’t even post in the first place. I ended up just deleting the entire thing because it’s such garbage. Like I’ve never been so infuriated with an app!

Renovated Tinder
Not sure if this is a dating app or not. And it’s kinda funny how it has a 17+ maturity level and you can even report someone on the app for being underaged, but you can’t type cuss words or even some words that aren’t even cusses in the text box because that’s “inappropriate.” Pretty stupid if you ask me. Also, the location feature doesn’t work. If you’re trying to find people near you, it should only do that. Not go from nearest to furthest. There should be a message saying “there are no people in your area” rather than showing me people that are across the country. Other than that, this app is a better tinder in the sense that you don’t even need to match with anyone to talk to them, and you can actually send pictures from the camera to people.

Good concept, bad excecution
I got an ad for this app about how you “talk before seeing pics” and I was really interested, however when I opened it that wasn’t the case at all. The ice breakers themselves are a cute and clever idea but it gives the option to add a background photo which a lot of people just post their usual selfie so you immediately see their face + personality summed in a question/answer. Most of the people on there just talk about sex even though this is listed as a “friend” app, but my true complaint I have the bigger problem overall with is that as a female user I have only gotten guys the last two hours of casual browsing. I am a lesbian, and my account is linked to my Facebook which also states I’m a woman interested in women. There’s no settings to even choose if you find men, women m, or both to talk to. So in the end I just get inboxes filled with guys trying to flirt or ask for sex. Doesn’t help without premium I can’t choose a 2nd icebreaker upon starting to better explain what I’m here for.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We are just getting started so there is still a lot of work ahead to improve the product experience for everyone. I've added your feedback to our product roadmap to be addressed.
Expensive & difficult to use
First off, while building your profile, the only way to put pictures on it is through Facebook or Instagram. There was no way to access your actual phone‘s camera to put pictures from your phone into your profile. This really limits your options of how to put images on your profile. Secondly, there’s not a lot of options in the actual application for editing your profile after you get through the initial introduction. Next, the filter options that you select for finding your match, are very buggy. Each time that I tried to filter, the filter failed and had an error and went right back to the default search. Next, the price for this is nearly $30 a month, a little bit high for me, Especially with all the problems with this app. And finally, I find it a bit shady that there’s no way in the application to remove my profile or even hide it.
