### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-11-17, version 8.2.22*

Barely works. Freezes often.

### 5/5 — Super idée et belle app!

*2025-01-10, version 8.2.18*

Sur mon strava, très dure d’organiser et rencontrer d’autres sportif. C’est la ou Axir rentre en jeu. J’ai rencontré des cyclistes et coureurs de mon niveau. J’ai hâte que l’app se développe dans le monde entier pour connecter avec d’autres sportifs quand je voyage.

### 5/5 — Found a tennis partner right away

Super simple to create a tennis event and meet people. I can highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Wonderful experience!

*2023-04-01*

Just finished a great workout event in Santa Monica! It was so fun meeting new people and working out together! The workout was challenging yet fun! Highly recommend this app and trying something out! :)

### 5/5 — Love the new update!

### 5/5 — Amazing for making friends in fun ways!

*2022-01-19*

I’m new to LA and have made so many friends through events on Axir! 🙂 We have our fun group now and we’re still actively putting events on Axir for others to join and meet people while doing fun things. 

Also, their customer support is super responsive. There was a bug where I couldn’t invite all of my friends to an event I created. I reached out on IG and they offered to invite specific people for me while the fix is being pushed out. 🤩

### 5/5 — Perfect !

*2021-09-29*

Axir is such a freaking great idea. I love to be active and this app helps you meet new people who share the same love for the sports you love. I can also start training with folks that a better than me in kite and learn from them. Then I can find a cool group of snowboarder at my level and hit some backcountry. These are genuine cool circles. Hands down It’s just a great app. ⭐️

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-09-29, version 7.1.9*

Awesome app , very cool to meet new people for some outdoor activities

### 5/5 — Axir rocks!

*2021-06-29, version 7.0.6*

Meet my new beach volleyball fam! 
Thanks!

### 2/5 — Good concept but limited!

*2021-06-19*

I like the concept of meeting like minded people, the only problem is that this app is mostly for people who live in bigger cities. It doesn’t really cater to people who live in other states so I’m unable to use it because there aren’t people on this app in my area.
