Highly recommend
Been to a few of their events now and they’ve all been a great time. Proper organised, great turnout and the kind of crowd that actually shows up wanting to talk to people rather than standing in a corner on their phones
The thing that got me is I’ve actually made friends off the back of it. If you’ve found it hard to meet people as you get older (which honestly most of us have), it’s worth a go
Highly recommend it
Be cautious when booking any event with this company
I wasn't properly told. The event I'd saved to my phone calendar from their app never updated — it still showed the house party on the 25th — while inside the app the booking simply vanished, with no cancellation notice and no message, despite my having push notifications on. Realistically no one checks a booking app daily for weeks; you save it to your calendar so you don't have to. The one place I'd have looked still showed the original party. The first I heard of the replacement was a marketing text about an hour before a boat I didn't know I was booked onto was due to start — nowhere near enough time to drop my plans and cross London for it.
When I contacted support, they confirmed in writing that they'd swapped the event and never updated the calendar. They claimed an SMS had been sent weeks earlier; I never received it, and I sent screenshots proving no such text reached my phone. No apology, no acknowledgement anything had gone wrong — just a cheerful "does this help?" They did, however, manage to text me afterwards asking me to rate them in the App Store, so they can clearly reach customers when it suits them.
This is not how an events company bringing strangers together should operate. The whole product is trust: that the event is real, happening when and where they said, with proper notice if anything changes. I formally requested a full refund and gave them seven days. That deadline has now passed with no refund, no confirmation, and no response at all, so I'm recovering the money through my bank.
Be very cautious booking through this app. Your event can be cancelled, your booking silently moved to something else, the date changed, and your money kept — and you may find out with almost no time to spare, if at all.
Response from developer
Hi Zara, We’re sorry this was your experience. We changed both the date and format of the event and sent an SMS to all affected attendees with the updated details. As you showed us in your screenshots, it appears that message didn’t reach your phone, and we understand how that caused confusion. We also acknowledge that the calendar entry wasn’t updated automatically, and we appreciate your feedback on that. We’ve reviewed our process to ensure event changes are communicated more clearly in future. While we respectfully disagree with some aspects of your review, we understand why you were frustrated and apologise that your experience didn’t meet the standard we strive to provide. Best - Sahil
Not free

Hey, sorry this felt unclear. Agora is free to download, but some experiences require either a membership or a curation fee so we can match people properly and organise real-life events. You can delete your account in the app under Settings, or contact us at support@agora-london.com and we’ll help quickly. Best, Sahil

Hey, thanks for the honest feedback and sorry the sign-up process felt so lengthy. The questions are there to help us better personalise the experience and improve our matching, but we completely appreciate that the current flow can feel too long. We’re already in the process of cutting this down so it feels much faster and easier, while still helping us create a better experience for everyone.
