I like it, but a few changes I would make!
I like it, it’s the best I’ve found so far, but wish there was: -Easy way to see the hobbies friends have in common -A way to set important dates in the past, my sister took a test a week ago and I’d like to have that logged in the app, but there’s no way to add anything that happened in the past -A calendar view, by month, by week, to see what connections I’ve made, maybe color coded by text, call, in person meet up -Also calendar view for future engagements with friends -A simpler way to view a persons profile, like just their birthday, their address, phone number, hobbies, and a list of things to talk about/ -Different connection reminder timers, like I want to text my friend every week, but only hang out every other week

Buggy, no support
I made the mistake of paying for a monthly subscription to use the enchanted version of this app. While the concept is great, the UI is buggy and lacks any kind of support whatsoever. I tried contacting them via their website, support email, Facebook group. The Facebook group never accepted my join request and I never got any response to emails. It must be very nice to make money from an app you don’t bother supporting.
For anyone else in the same position, remember to request a refund from Apple as this counts as a lack of what was promised.
This app could have been amazing and so useful, and yet the developers have left it to moulder. Don’t waste your time or use the free version if you’re desperate.

Would give this 0 stars if I could
The app itself and concept is great - when it works! Some terrible bugs in the app which make it useless and the developer support is non-existent (I’ve tried every way to contact them online that I can, including trying the official ‘app support’ button which redirects to a website without a valid certificate, and still had no response). After turning off notifications for a period of time, I now can’t get them back on, which is the most important function of the app for me. So not only have I paid for an annual subscription and wasted HOURS of time trying to get the issue resolved, but I now have a useless app which I was relying on to help me with an issue related to my disability. I now have the extra work of having to migrate all the content and planning work I’d put into getting set up on the app to something else that can help me (and first finding something else that will help me with this issue), plus lost out on the subscription fee I’ve paid. If I had known how much time/money/energy this app would waste, I would have gone straight to another solution first.
Don’t get me wrong, if this worked as it should, it would solve the problem I have completely and I’d gladly pay for it for as long as I use it. But it doesn’t and there’s no way to get help to fix it, so don’t waste your money.

Does this company still exist?
I recently tried to upgrade to the paid plan of this app but unfortunately, I faced some issues. Despite trying multiple times, I was unable to do so. Additionally, I reached out to their support team for assistance but did not receive any response from them. Moreover, I was unable to access their website which added to the frustration. Overall, my experience with the app has been disappointing due to the lack of support and inability to access the premium features.

Was great.
I loved this app when I discovered it but recently it’s basically stopped working. All notifications have stopped (which is the whole point) it doesn’t load properly when I do make actions on it. It’s such a shame as it was fantastic
Apparently I do have friends
I have been hard on myself for lack of close friends. So I have been working in being intentional on building friendships. This app reminds me I have more people in my life than I think and helps gives me options on who I should connect with.
One thing I’d liked though is the ability to customize and add or remove circles. For example I have connections through different hobbies I have and sometimes I’d like to filter who I connect with based on that hobby. So for example one of those the hobbies I have is rock climbing and I’m trying to build connections in that category so I might want to quick find people to connect with based on that hobby.
I will often meet people in circles like this without getting contact information right away but would like to make notes for future interactions. Of course this is coming from someone that has plenty of room for extended circles but not many close friends(yet)

Bugs / Unable to access
I paid for full access to this app. Then just over a month ago, my notifications stopped and I was unable to use it due to app bugs e.g. although I could see information I’d input, it wouldn’t let me update any of of it.
Now for a month, I’ve been unable to log in at all. For email log on, it says my password doesn’t match. Then when I click forgot password, it doesn’t send the code to reset. For phone number log on, nothing at all happens. When I try creating a new account, it doesn’t let me saying an account already exists.
I keep emailing the app support, as that’s the only way I can see to contact, and I either don’t get a reply or are told the bugs are fixed.
A month later, I still cannot access the app that I’ve paid for.

Frustrated!
This app has been broken for almost a month and support seems to be both incredibly slow to respond and totally unhelpful.
I’ve been a Fabriq user since it’s beta days and it has become a lifeline for me as I maintain friendships with those I love most around the world. Recently, the app started failing to log connections and after uninstalling / reinstalling, it will no longer let me log into my account. I key in my phone number on the login screen, it appears to be processing, then simply returns to the login screen again. No error messages appear, making it clear the account still exists, but there seems to be no way past the logon screen. And just like that, all of my connections, notes, and data are inaccessible.

Stay on top of what really matters
I love the app. It’s exactly what I had been looking for, and I was this close to making something myself like this (but I’m an accountant, so my mind had immediately had gone to an Excel-based solution.) Thankfully I thought to look for something like Fabriq first, and it was a perfect fit!
The recent update seems to have munged the ability to add details to interactions, though. The sheet doesn’t pop up after I select an interaction on a friend’s page.

Improved my relationships
This app is exactly what I needed to improve the quality of my relationships. For whatever reason, my mind naturally operates on an “out of sight, out of mind” basis when it comes to people. I can accidentally go weeks or months without reaching out to people in my life whom I care deeply about. This app has helped me keep my friendships alive and thriving.
