Leave a Review The Xpat App
I LOVE this Space!
I have been a member of the XPAT community for more than a year I’m sure. I have enjoyed the positive dialogue between people who are already living abroad, and those people who are aspiring to live abroad. The conversations are always respectful and helpful. It’s a great space ❤️CharlotteVA
Great App
I enjoy being a part of this community even though I don't come to it a lot ( working on it), I love the info, the podcast interviews, etc! Huge shoutout to Shar for making this happenDebra S S
Just what I needed!
Great app!
Thank you Shar Wynter, you really outdid yourself!!
Building community at home while we’re working towards leaving the states as well as after with a community of folks doing the same, folks who understand the stressors of uprooting everything for peace, safety, and basic respect of humanity had made the process so much easier.Show lessXdrtyuiop
LOVE This App!!
I am so grateful for this app, which allows folks (especially of color) to connect from around the World! This app is ESPECIALLY handy when planning a trip OR move abroad! You can actually build connections in your destination B4 you embark on your journey. So thankful for the app creator!! She’s absolutely brilliant!!Show lessAppnotic
Exactly what I needed!
This app is such a flawless opportunity to be in a safe travel space online! I only joined less than 48 hours ago and have already feel like I’ve made some wonderful connections. Beware⚠️This app is addictive and healthy for your mental well being!☺️. If you are looking for an app to make connections, network, friendships, relationships, get tips, advice and positive energy then THIS IS THE APP FOR YOU!🫵🏾. Hope to meet you there😉Show lessLane2010
White men giving advice?!
I was muted after pointing out that a white man was giving race-related “advice” on the app based on his “research”. He was highlighting racism abroad in a country he had never been to, folks. Peak cringe, I know! I was currently in that country and found his advice to be out of pocket and expressed this. I see now that I was a bit of a fool thinking the app was a safe space for Black women. I naively brought this to the attention of the creator’s account. Shar the creator had previously reached out to me for a spotlight feature which could have been cute. When I flagged that this white man was interacting on posts not based on his lived experience (as a white man dealing with/witnessing anti-Black racism), I was muted. Or rather, when I made a post addressed to Black people only, I was muted. As a woman I think it is important to have safe spaces to communicate within our community but such a place has yet to be created. This white man remains on the app, probably giving race-related advice he knows nothing about, but such is life. I must say that I enjoyed the app before I flagged the presence of white men unironically weighing in on racism abroad.Show lessCornhell2005
Developer Response
Hi Stephanie, as communicated to you via email, your full access to the app was removed because of your violation of Xpat’s Community Rules — rules that you agreed to when you joined the app. Some of your posts and comments were flagged by other users and upon review of your account we confirmed that you were in direct violation of our community rules (e.g. derogatory language, calling another user a dumb b*tch, etc.). On the Xpat platform, users are not allowed to mistreat or disrespect others simply because they disagree with them. Our community rules clearly articulate this. Our apologies if your comprehension of our rules were in any way misconstrued. Our pro-Black stance is not “anti” other races. You are free to invest the tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours that it takes to build your own app where derogatory language and mistreatment towards users is allowed, however, this is not allowed on the Xpat platform. Respectfully, Shar (The Xpat App Creator)Great app
Lots of interaction and information from other xpats on this app. Great UX too.RBeez
FINALLY! This app is everything 🥹
The structure, ease of use, and organisation of this app and community are a dream! As the owner of a large expat Facebook Group, I’ve always envisioned what an app would look like. No need for that now because XPAT is here! Wow.Lrd Byron
Timely & Impactful
1,000% recommended. This app is one of a kind! I’ve been traveling for over a decade and with all the technological advances that have percolated on our radars, including those that claim to support diversity and community, an app like this one has never been available to connect, encourage, educate, support, and share stories amongst black expats. Thank you for creating this app! My experience on the app has been great as well.Show lessMSDiphone
The Xpat App is AMAZING!!!
Like don’t wait, just download! You will love this app! There is a wealth of information about the global black community. It is a safe place for all black people throughout the diaspora. Like I recommend any and everyone to use this app! It’s amazing!!!michaelcwhite15
