Amazing way to travel with new friends
Solo travel can be fun, but there’s something special about experiencing new things with other people. It can be hard to find friends or family who want to travel to the same places as I do or do the same things (nevermind finding a time that works for everyone). Floqsta helps solve that problem by connecting me with people who want to go on the same type of adventures as I do. Love it and can’t wait to see it keep getting better and better as the community grows.

Such A Novel Idea
Such a great travel app for individuals and groups alike! This app is very tinder-esque and offers opportunities to meet people with the same interests along your journey. I highly recommend this app for vacations, day-trips, and travel breaks.
Innovative Travel App
Floqsta is a revolutionary idea for solo travelers. I love traveling alone, but sometimes I wish I could’ve experienced more alongside other people. Floqsta will help us solo travelers do just that! The app is beautifully designed and easy to use. I love the swipe right/left feature. This makes it very simple to decide whether I’m interested in an existing trip to a specific city or not. The calendar feature is also very nice so you can plan ahead. I have no doubt this app will bring together thousands of people for incredible journeys as the user base grows.

Swipe for Travel Buddies
Overall, I really enjoy using this travel app. The user interface is smooth and visually appealing, with bright colors that give a warm and inviting feel. I particularly appreciate the ability to choose whether the app will track my behavior between other applications on my device, and the ease of use is great - for example, the data that automatically saves my likes and interests.
The swipe feature is intuitive and familiar, but I also appreciate the added ability to select "undecided" for a floq and come back to it later. While I did expect to be able to manually enter my location without having to share it within the app, this is a minor issue that doesn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the app.
I think this app is great for experienced travelers and people who are interested in travel but don't feel comfortable going alone. It's nice that you can join a group for a specific experience, and I would love to see a feature where you can share a floq with a friend or family member as well. All in all, a solid travel app that I would recommend to others.

Really cool for the explorer
This app really listens to my likes and gives me great options i may have not thought of on my own. I like the ease of use and ability to chat if i want. I seem a bit older than maybe the target audience (50) BUT it's got everything i would want to find out about destinations i am looking at or thinking of and even more so. Can't wait to see how it grows and hear all the awesome testimonies. Thank you for this!

Ideal for finding that right person to travel
Traveling and discovering new places is always exciting but it is also a bit stressful. Stress begins when you want to find the right person to travel with and like every new destination, the most important thing is to find tourist places where you can learn about their history and culture, and also find accommodation that suits you and is in the right place for enjoy and know the best possible. I feel like this app makes it easier for you to find everything you need. It allows you to see people with whom you share interests and also people who could be an ideal adventure partner. Traveling with people who don't share my interests is complicated since everyone has their own things they want to see and you can't have a complete experience. This app avoids all that because you find people with whom you can get to know the world without the difference in interests having an influence. I also really liked the check in process. It was quick and easy and he makes sure to put enough information on your profile to find the right people. It's fun finding potential companions for your next trip and I've never seen an app like this! Give it a try if like me you want to start exploring this world with people other than just friends and family.

Very unique
It’s a very interesting concept, it’s almost set up like a dating app. But it shows you trips that you can take with others in a more simple way, which is amazing for solo travelers and meeting new people.
Unique
I never seen an app quite like this. If there’s some out here like this, I’ve never seen them. I think it’s a wonderful concept. However, I only wanted to look around to see how this app operates, I don’t think it should require a profile picture unless a person wants to take full advantage of its services, such as actually using it to plan travel with others. I saw incognito mode, but was not able to explore the app when I chose that option. The app details in the App Store seems to be transparent with what it does with your individual information, so I appreciate that. I think the personality quiz is a good feature, as well as the identity verification. It’s really cool how the app groups you with like minded individuals if you decide to take advantage of that particular service. The links that give information on the vacation destination are helpful for the trip planning process. The compatibility score is also a great feature to have, along with the beautiful pictures showcasing the various activities that one can expect during their travels. In the FAQ, it says no charge, but then says those who sign up now get two years free. So is this app free or no? How much does it cost to keep my membership or are there different tiers? Overall this is a great app!

Response from developer
Hi there! Thank you for your review and feedback, we are always eager to hear from our users. To clarify your question about cost of the app, base app membership is free but we will be adding premium features over time that may have some fees. Early joiners are guaranteed two years free premium membership, once it is introduced. As an early user yourself you have access to this deal and will have all the benefits of a premium membership for 2 years once it is introduced. Keep adventuring!
Great for solo!
I do a lot of solo traveling and one of the most difficult things about going to a new place is the uncertainty of making friends or connecting with others. I have found that things like paid experiences with other travelers is a great way to form connections, but this app also creates a unique solution to that concern. Floqsta has a user friendly interface that feels similar to a dating app, but for destinations and friends! Organic community building can be unrealistic when traveling elsewhere, and this app provides a great bridge to connect people to places as a group. I would like to see some more international Floqs when swiping, but as the app is new, I am sure that’s yet to come. I like the compatibility percentage as well, which gives me a good idea of if the Floq would be a good fit for me based on the questions asked during signing up. I am looking forward to utilizing this for future trips!

Seems like it has potential
It seems to want to do what apps like Meetup and Airbnb do for travel events, but with a Tinder-like format. It’s an interesting way to open up new travel ideas to you without overwhelming you with choices. Right now there aren’t many destinations or “floqs” seeded so I don’t know how this would work for travelers going to places besides the U.S. You’re currently unable to specify your location without enabling location services on your phone. It would be nice to be able to set it manually to search for floqs in specific areas. Also they make you set up your whole profile, including a picture with a face, before you can begin swiping. Overall the app has potential
