Awesome concept and nice people

Great to have something like this especially in a city like LA <3

Response from developer

Thanks for the amazing feedback!

Good idea, execution needs work

I enjoy butter for hosting and finding cool new events to attend, and connecting with people. But the last couple of weeks, the app has been so slow and sometimes non-functional. This is very stressful when you’re hosting or attending events because you can’t get in contact with people. I hope they can resolve this soon.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - and glad you're enjoying using Butter! For bug reports, the App Store unfortunately doesn't give us the tools to actually help you - we can't access account details or troubleshoot from here. So we can get your sorted quickly, we'd love for you to DM us directly in-app. Thanks again, Butter HQ

Disappointed

Used to say how good this app was referred it to people I knew but was disrespected by people off the app and when I talked to management nothing was done about it. The numbering system is quite appalling also had people at events rave on about “I am number one on butter” was very off putting. It’s a shame the potential is there however the morality is not.

Buggy

On an iPhone - the app crashes and refuses to open without being redownloaded. Great idea though but non ideal execution.

Great idea but needs some safety features

Love the idea of being able to meet and make plans with others in Los Angeles, but it seems like bots have already found their way into the app:/

Response from developer

Thanks for flagging this with us. Real people meeting real people is the whole point of Butter, so anything that isn't that gets removed. If you can shoot over what you saw to hello@joinbutter.co (or report it in-app) we'll act on it ASAP. Hope you'll give LA another go.
