lame
fake scarcity model
Scam
Scam app. Dont believe the reviews. Its awful and steals your information
Somehow more cringe than facebook and less useful than LinkedIn
The app tries to force you to turn notifications, and location services as well as forcing you to invite 5 new users before creating an account. Very sketchy t&c for data privacy
Great idea for an app but needs more development before charging; asking for a refund
ClockOut’s paid host features did not function as expected. I could not check attendees into my event, which may have caused people who attended to be incorrectly charged a $10 no-show fee. I also could not communicate directly with the RSVP list or determine which members were still active. Throughout my use of the app, I was frequently trapped on pages with no working back or exit option and had to close and reopen it.
Now, the club I paid to host has disappeared without warning or explanation, along with all of my previous connections. When I tried to report this inside the app, it became stuck on a loading screen that only shows the logo. That screen now appears every time I open the app, so I cannot access any part of my account or the hosting features for which I paid.
I canceled my subscription but I should still have full features until the end of October. But also, I never had full features at all. It was a great attempt at the app but still very many things to work out before charging people.

Great for connecting with people!
Nice UI, easy to use, and a great app for networking! It’s easy to search for clubs that interest you, build your profile, and connect with other people. It also walks you through how to use the app, which was very helpful at the beginning. It’s also based on location so it would be easy to make plans!

Cool idea with potential
The app is a cool way to meet people wanting to connect in real life because of the jury process since it eliminates the lurkers. However, it also makes it hard to find clubs fit for you because of the limited spots. It’s a little rough around the edges but it has potential.
Location help
I have tried reaching support twice and haven’t heard anything back. I was in a different state when given access to the platform and was told I only had 24 hours to set up account or they would remove access.
Now I’m stuck on the “choose group” page with options that are hundreds of miles from where I live.

Feels like the worst parts of dating
The swipe format makes this feel more like a dating app than a networking tool. Once you pass on someone, there’s no going back, so every profile becomes a high stakes snap judgment instead of casual browsing. It’s heavily one on one, with little room for group or community engagement. You’re also asked to invite people, build out a full profile, and go gold before knowing if it’s worth your time. Not convinced this solves anything LinkedIn and Meetups doesn’t already do.

Greatly Intuitive!
As an introverted person who struggles to put myself out there and network, this app makes it so much less daunting to find like-minded professionals in a more curated space! The UI is incredibly straightforward and simple, and it’s very easy to search for clubs and events in my area— it feels professional while not being too stuffy! Awesome app.

Industries are limited
This app only works if your industry is available within the app, otherwise it won’t apply to you and the selection is very limited.
Scam
I decided to check this app out, and after logging on, I got nothing but a bunch of spam messages from people claiming to be in different industries than me, in different states on the other side of the country, and then without ever authorizing a free trial or anything, they attempted to charge me for $100 subscription.

Do not download
Lots of paywalls and a fair few misleading profiles of people who aren’t real (probably AI)
Garbage apps
Superficial paid app that sucks
Great concept with room to blossom
Clockout has a genuinely fantastic idea behind it for those like myself who are tired of building “connections” on other networking platforms that seem to go nowhere. This app feels clean, polished, and responsive, and I like the focus on helping people build professional connections in a more social, local way rather than simply being another LinkedIn clone. From the experiences I've seen from people who have actually used it to meet others, it seems like the app can genuinely help people find communities and make useful connections.
For me personally, though, the experience feels a little too exclusive. I understand that selectivity and professionalism are a big part of what Clockout is going for, but I think there is room for people who are more casual or reserved and still want to expand their professional network. The app could benefit from giving users more ways to communicate the kind of social or professional connections they're looking for, rather than making everyone feel like they need to fit into the same networking mold.
I would also love to see a larger selection of interest tags. There are currently only 27 interests across five categories, and I found myself stretching to choose even two that genuinely represented me. More specific interests would make it easier to find your niche and give other people a better idea of who you are beyond your profession.
The Gold membership is probably my biggest criticism. I understand that a service like this needs to generate revenue, but the subscription can make the experience feel a little pay-to-win, especially when networking is the entire purpose of the platform. I think there could be other optional features that give users a reason to pay without making the core experience feel as restricted.
Overall, I think Clockout has a very solid foundation and a lot of potential. The concept makes sense, the app is well designed, and with a little more flexibility around finding your people, I could see it becoming a much more approachable networking platform.

Solid professional networking app
Great app for professional networking. Love how it connects people through after-office hobbies and shared interests. Clean, easy-to-navigate interface. But as a new user, I’d prefer to explore the app first and invite friends whenever I’m ready, rather than upfront.
Privacy disaster
No option to not share my entire contact list. They just want to farm your connections data to sell to marketing and scam orgs.
Deceptive Subscription Practices
As a rule-of-thumb I don't sign up for free trials. Somehow, I was billed $99 for a year of Clockout without even creating my account for just opening the app. I meant to make an account later – but when I saw I was already being billed that left a gross tatse in my mouth 🤢 One star because Clockout won't reply to their support email – will update review once a resolution is reached – Apple needs to be more proactive in blocking these apps from the app store.

Automatically RSVPs YES
If you click the RSVP for an event it auto YES RSVPs then if you want to change to NO it’s a ten dollar fee. It’s done it to me several times and you can’t bypass the RSVP screen. Total scam.
Good but could use upgrades
It was a cool app and I had fun using it but I feel like there should be a way to access events without joining groups, a way to test the waters, just in case groups are too high commitment. I also feel like you should be able to swipe back to the person you passed on the connect tab. I would also like more options in interests as well as careers. And I wasn’t able to find my school in the school search section.

Wasn’t accepted
I wasn’t accepted for some reason. They didn’t give one, or even an opportunity to correct whatever was wrong.
