Leave a Review Friendsy
Tinder is still better for now...
Even with Tinder's crazy subscription, this app has a long way before it catches up. 1. Can't view other profiles unless you anonymously invite 5 of your friends. If I like the app, I'll recommend it to my friends on my own. When I'm forced to do it in order to experience the full app, it takes out the fun & I'm less likely to ever do it now. 2. Doesn't explain everything this app can do. Like the icons when you friend someone aren't clear. The reason why Tinder succeeds is because there's no room for guessing. Yes, I have to compare this app to Tinder b/c it obviously inspired Friendsy creators to build this app. 3. It has this prompt which asks the users in the conversation questions (which I don't mind) but it comes up too often. 4. Fix the bugs!!!Show lessKeke184
Needs an overview/tutorial page
Love the all but still confused how it works!!! They need to add a basic tutorial/overview page with how it all works. Also they need an "unmatch feature" or something to delete someone off your messages and they also need a way to "swipe left" so you don't keep seeing the same people over and over again that you're not into, because right now I'm wasting time going through everyone and keep seeing the same people on it. Lastly, should be a feature where you could set it to have it show everyone on the app at your school but also have the option to only show guys or girls at as well. Overall really like it and I'm sure this app will be a hit once the kinks are worked out! My favorite features are the anonymous chit chat, prompts, and anonymous compliments!Show lessmtk9327
Having problems
I was sent a text message with a link to download the app. I read on your Facebook page that ANY edu email can sign up when they get "tapped" to join.
Well when I did it added me some waiting list because my school is not there?
I though it said "any undergrad"? To not only join their school, but the national feed as well.

Tricks you into signing up
If you've gotten an e-mail saying that somebody at your school is interested, don't believe it, the dev team uses this to trick people - it doesn't even make sense since people can't view your profile until you sign up.
The app is just a copy of tinder under the facade of being only for college students (as if that was an issue with tinder: its pretty obvious who goes to your school and who doesn't, so why limit the pool of users?). Do yourself a favor and stay away.Show lesslucas1313
Seems like a scam. Will update later if not.
Setting up an account the app asks for your college email address and a password. It doesn't make clear you can pick a new password, and seems kind of like it is phishing for your password. It has already renewed the same people to swipe on multiple times. The invite showed up in my box saying somebody invited me but I haven't seen a single person I recognize on the site. It doesn't let you pick only to swipe on one gender or another. So far it seems fake. I will update later if proved wrong.Show lessLowry99
Great so far
I've tried several chat app and I always leave for the same reason. People tend to be rude and go out of their way to insult you. This app is completely different. The people I've talked too have been a lot more friendly. They seem to have more interesting things to say. I really like the prompts. Some are a little off but they work well to start a conversation.Show lessCoolKidForTheWin2227
Fantastic Concept! But...
I think this idea could really catch on but I'm not too happy that it's limited to those with an EDU email address. I think a better take on this app would be to create age "groups" that people are split into (so that a twenty year old can see 18-28 or something) rather than an exclusive college thing. Think about the target audience. If it really is just for college, then you're targeting a very limited group.Show lessdanvb10
Fix the app
Good idea but there's some big issues that need to be fixed. I've got an iPhone 5 and here's what I've encountered so far:
-App crashes occasionally out of nowhere
-I "friend" someone and it ends up registering as friending someone else I had no intention of interacting with (this has happened several times)
-After 2-3 "friend" clicks apparently I've used up all my unclicks for the day so I can't do anything else. Why is there a limit in the first place?
-Same people come up frequently on the connect page, which might get better as more people sign up
-Screen transitions fail occasionally and I'm kicked back to the last page
The app still "works" but the main components of what this is supposed to be need to be fine tuned to fix the bugs. I'm second guessing everything I do because I'm unsure of what the app thinks I'm doing. Clean it upShow lessSiikSauce
Cool concept, currently unusable
The idea is nice. I have a 5s and the app runs terribly slowly, even on 4g or wifi. I cannot "friend" more than one person in one sitting, I try and get the message that I've used up all my unclicks. People I've already friended come up way too much on my feed. The automatic prompt for matches is stupid, the idea of a prompt is cool but give me a chance to initiate a conversation.
The app is cool, I prefer the idea behind tinder but this being limited to your campus helps it a lot. If everything functioned well, I would give it a 4.5, but as for now I would recommend people don't bother. It feels incredibly unfinished. I will be checking back periodically to see if things have been smoothed outShow lessBeantheride
Perfect for college
I’ve been waiting for a mobile friendsy app for a while! I’ve used friendsy at Princeton since it first came out, and I loved the fact that you could “friend” somebody in addition to wanting to hook up or date them. The web app is perfect for sharing funny murmurs and flirting with that cute girl from class who makes eye contact with you a lot.Show lessLlukech
