There was one time they did it to me three times in a row. I like doing them, but if I’m going to take the time off from work, and get declined more times in a row, then why am I signing up for events? ### 3/5 — Welcome to AI *2026-08-25, version 222.6.8* I rarely review anything but in this case it’s a must! It’s true the curations are repetitive, expensive & the ppl/locations are corporate-like. What surprised me, no one mentioned that you NEVER connect to a human. It’s all AI driven. They will pretend they are “100% human”, the operative word choice. They are not. Not being able to connect with your guest = a long term disaster in the making. I would have cont’ on, if actual humans were answering questions. I asked what is your name, generic replies popped up. This company is “text obsessed”. The APP is beyond confusing and not user friendly. Curating events for ppl to meet/connect from a company that doesn’t connect. 😳 ### 2/5 — Good App - Waitlisting Problem *2026-08-24, version 222.6.8* By all means 222 is a great app if you’re trying to get out, meet new people and make fun memories. But THREE times now I have not been able to attend any events even when I was early on the waitlist. The app will take $32.22 (CAD) from you, put you on a waitlist for an event and then a day before the event they will let you know if you got in, for one event I was put on the waitlist a whole 3 weeks before the event and STILL didn’t get in? Ever since I got the app months ago I’ve only attended ONE event and was waitlisted and didn’t make the cut for THREE. I would easily give this app 5 stars if I was able to attend more events. ### 4/5 — Still in beta TBH *2026-08-24, version 222.6.8* Overall a great experience. Some kinks need to be worked out like changing people’s assigned locations last minute. That seems like an amateur thing that should have been worked out before shipping final version. Sucks to have plans in place for travel and things shift last minute. The people and the hangs are good, it’s a small enough community that if you’re goal is to find some longer term friendships that is possible ### 2/5 — Good in the beginning, went south fast *2026-08-21, version 222.6.8* When you first get on 222 they immediately will find you a spot for an event by after 3-4 events they will offer 4 events a month “curated” for you and even if you sign up you’ll always be on the waitlist. They just want your money and I don’t believe truly care about “exploring serendipity”. ### 3/5 — Not enough events on Friday and weekend *2026-08-20, version 222.6.8* Always oversubscribed on those days, I don’t know why they don’t put more events on those days ### 1/5 — Don’t buy the subscription *2026-08-20, version 222.6.8* Unfortunately customer service was not able to help me. I was charged the next quarterly subscription out of my knowledge. I was not informed vía email text. I assumed it was a one time fee for 4 months. I requested a refund as I only attended one event in the time frame, but they were not helpful at all. I would not recommend this app to make friends. It seems a bit of A scam. Join clubs and groupchats of people interested in the same things you are! I think that’s the better way to make friends. I’m so sorry about giving yall a bad review I was rooting for yall! ### 1/5 — Just want your money *2026-08-20, version 222.6.8* This is such a nice concept. Being in a new city, lost and lonely, feeling a tad blue. There goes 222 it gives you the option that a new friend can be made, dinner, drinks, a few good jokes and bam you got yourself a new best friend. However, Everytime I clicked an event that I want to attend, tells me that I am added to the waitlist. I made and reserved that day because I wanted to attend an 222 event specially that day. But again and again disappointment. Again and again added onto the waitlist. I believe 222 is geared towards a certain group, certain race, age, background and certainly I am not it ### 2/5 — Used to be good — now bad *2026-08-19, version 222.6.8* I have done eighteen experiences since 2024 in the NYC area. It used to be a wonderful way to meet new people and I’ve made some lifelong friends. However… Things have changed for the worse in the last year. I’ve applied for 5-7 events this year and have been waitlisted for all of them. I’ve paid for a subscription, I’ve tried brining a plus-one: nothing helps. I messaged their CX team via text and they’ve been pretty disappointingly trite. Good luck 222 team. ### 4/5 — Intuitive UI and great matching algorithm. *2026-08-17, version 222.6.8* Leaving one star off because the app needs an Android version (had a few folks at my dinner who are missing out since they’re not Apple users). ### 4/5 — Unexpected Delight *2026-08-17, version 222.6.8* I had 0 expectations going into this, and I was absolutely a little anxious for my first experience. I've done 3 events now, and all I can say is WOW. You're almost forced to embrace the awkwardness of a properly blind date/experience with the other people who sign up and it's surprisingly easy to just be yourself and mingle amongst the group(s). You start out with a small group usually, then gather later in the experience into a larger group setting. I've experienced so many new things that I never knew where in Philly, and I've met some awesome people. I cannot recommend this enough. I'm having an amazing time :) ### 1/5 — Do not use for friends *2026-08-16, version 222.6.8* It’s basically a hookup app with extra steps. Does not foster connection. Only fosters sex ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Experiences are Great, If they let you into them *2026-08-31, version 222.6.8* 222 Experiences are great when you get to go to them, but that is not often. I went to my first experience and it was great, since then I have not been accepted to a single experience. There was once that I was waitlisted and then only after someone else canceled did i get accepted to the experience. BUT even since that it has been four straight experiences where I get "waitlisted". Worst part is that they send you experiences weeks in advance to sign up for. But once you sign up you don't hear anything until 4:22pm the day before. HOWEVER here is the catch if you cancel after 4:22 pm they charge you a fine. So you have to block off your calendar and say no to other plans just to be told 24 hours ahead of time that you are actually free. It's a complete one sided scam. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-08-29, version 222.6.8* Paid to get repeatedly waitlisted, only to be told at the last minute that they had run out of spots. The app sent me to exactly one event all summer, and when I checked the profiles of the people there, our supposed compatibility scores were just 18%, 25%, 27%, etc. I paid for essentially nothing. Awful experience. Do not download this scam. ### 1/5 — Horrible setup *2026-08-29, version 222.6.8* Trying to create an account was absolute horrid. Why do I need to invite 5 people?! Give the option to skip visible, so I’m not being force to invite people! If I could give this app negative stars I would ### 1/5 — Unacceptable *2026-08-28, version 222.6.8* I signed up to try to meet new people and while the app is asking me questions to build my profile, a mandatory step is to “invite” current friends to join the app which allegedly helps the app to “understand” my current friends. This is borderline trickery to build your app. Just another disappointing attempt at using people who want to make new friends to build the user base of your app. Will uninstall. ### 1/5 — SCAM!! *2026-08-25, version 222.6.8* Do NOT get this app, they charge $22 for membership, steal your info, won’t let you cancel membership, and charge ANOTHER $22 for cancelation. SCAM!!! be warned ### 1/5 — AI MADAME? *2026-08-25, version 222.6.8* No thanks, this app violates human rights & sets you up with toxic people. It promotes UNSAFE behavior & rewards addiction ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-24, version 222.6.8* You’ll be constantly waitlisted and will not get picked for events. Imagine paying for an app just to waste your evening that you specifically set aside for 222, just for them to say”you were not selected” what a duuuuuumb dumb dumb setup . Oh and they’ll spam you with those invitations they won’t select you for 😂 It's like “here is your invite, please please sign up”. And then “you are not selected”. ### 1/5 — Deceptive!! *2026-08-23, version 222.6.8* I strongly caution anyone considering using the 222 app because of what I found to be extremely deceptive practices. The app forces you to invite 5–6 people from your contacts before you can proceed, and it does not allow duplicate invites. What makes this especially concerning is that the app then sends those people invitations for events that you never actually agreed to or planned. As the user, these events are presented to you more like suggestions or ideas for potential “dates.” However, the person you invite receives what appears to be an actual curated invitation and itinerary for an event that you, the supposed inviter, may know absolutely nothing about. The language used in the invitation is also misleading because it makes it seem as though you personally curated or selected the experience for your friend, when that is not what happened. It gets worse when the person you invited is then asked to pay $22.22 as a “curation” fee for this supposed experience. So from their perspective, it looks like you intentionally invited them to an event, helped curate the plans, and are now expecting them to pay a fee to participate—when in reality, you may not even know what event they were invited to. There is a major difference between asking users to invite friends to join an app and using someone’s name to send what appears to be a personalized event invitation without making it completely clear to the user what is being sent on their behalf. The entire process felt incredibly misleading and deceptive, both to me as the user and to the people receiving the invitations. Users should be clearly shown exactly what will be sent to their contacts, what event is being proposed, and that the recipient will be asked to pay $22.22 BEFORE the invitation is sent. I would not have knowingly agreed to send invitations like this to my friends. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-08-22, version 222.6.8* I paid a subscription fee before I was locked out of the app until I invited 5 people. Super embarrassing. They need to add location to the description because I’m just requesting invite after invite just to see the location is an hour away from me on a week night. I spent over a month trying to give this a chance but it’s just too much hassle. ### 1/5 — Waited forever *2026-08-21, version 222.6.8* After two months application still in process. If they’re going to reject at least tell me why. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Experience *2026-09-02, version 222.6.8* Great experience great people! ### 5/5 — Actually works! *2026-08-29, version 222.6.8* I was extremely skeptical of this but decided to give it a try. Met new people and made a lot of new friends and helped me get out of the corporate mindset and reminded that there’s more to life than working. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2026-08-24, version 222.6.8* Professional ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-23, version 222.6.8* This app was curated so meticulously and the algorithm is extremely plausible. I’ve met so many amazing people through this app and I hope nothing changes. ### 5/5 — Go for it *2026-08-23, version 222.6.8* Met some absolutely great people here and great experiences ### 5/5 — 23m, found super cool folk *2026-08-22, version 222.6.8* First event was great, off of the others experiences. I’d say most of the time you can expect a good time if not a weirdly timed event. ### 5/5 — this app changed my life *2026-08-20, version 222.6.8* im normally a jolly guy, but this app made me even jollier ### 5/5 — Great app to find friends *2026-08-19, version 222.6.8* I’ve had the opportunity to meet people and hangout more using this app. It’s great ### 5/5 — Great first experience! *2026-08-16, version 222.6.8* I love this app it’s so fun to meet new people and hangout with friends. ### 5/5 — Amazing social app *2026-08-14, version 222.6.8* Honestly it’s been 3 for 3 for me and i genuinely love it I can’t wait to use it in other cities and countries --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
