### 2/5 — Location help

*2026-08-22, version 3.2.10*

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.

### 2/5 — Feels like the worst parts of dating

*2026-08-22, version 3.2.10*

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.

### 4/5 — Great concept with room to blossom

*2026-08-15, version 3.2.9*

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.

### 3/5 — Good but could use upgrades

*2026-08-05, version 3.2.7*

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.

### 3/5 — Great app

*2026-07-24, version 3.2.7*

It’s a great app to get to connect with people, I think the interface could be more clear and unique since it reminds me of many other dating apps.

### 4/5 — Clockout

*2026-07-23, version 3.2.7*

The app has a very easy and accessible UI with it all being very straightforward. The app is exactly what it says it is and does not under serve the goal. The ability to both join and host events is great however the need to be approved as system across the map could be worked on, it dims interest if you must be approved for every group and Im sure its not hard to get in but the premise is still the issue.

### 1/5 — $99 a year

*2026-07-17, version 3.2.7*

You have to invite people to move through the setup process and then you get in and find out the “clubs” are are really lame sounding. Not at all what I though it would be. If they just had events on a calendar with different common interest or goals that would have been ideal.

### 5/5 — Fun way to connect

*2026-07-16, version 3.2.7*

This looks like a great way to connect with other like-minded people in your area! I’ve never seen an app use a combo of LinkedIn to connect people outside of work, definitely a unique idea and a cool way to meet a bunch of people you might have otherwise never met!

### 4/5 — Must download!

*2026-07-16, version 3.2.7*

Such a great app to network with other people and the amount of different genres to choose from! 10/10 would reccomend

### 1/5 — Waste of Time—No Engagement

*2026-07-16, version 3.2.7*

Perhaps this will be a different experience for those of you in NYC, or LA, but in Houston, TX there just aren’t enough people on here to make it worthwhile. I set up multiple golf outings and the app auto-RSVP’s people to attend and no one shows up because they don’t know that they were signed up. There is no genuine slant towards accomplished professionals as it’s often pitched by influencers.  Terrible.  Huge meetups with groups that I was part of, but not the “leader” resulted in 3-4 people in attendance instead of the 30-40 that “rsvp’d”. Maybe in 4-5 years, there will be enough people to make it worthwhile.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Industries are limited

*2026-08-19, version 3.2.10*

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.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-18, version 3.2.10*

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.

### 1/5 — Do not download

*2026-08-15, version 3.2.9*

Lots of paywalls and a fair few misleading profiles of people who aren’t real (probably AI)

### 1/5 — Garbage apps

*2026-08-15, version 3.2.9*

Superficial paid app that sucks

### 1/5 — Privacy disaster

*2026-08-14, version 3.2.9*

No option to not share my entire contact list. They just want to farm your connections data to sell to marketing and scam orgs.

### 1/5 — Deceptive Subscription Practices

*2026-08-12, version 3.2.8*

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.

### 1/5 — Automatically RSVPs YES

*2026-08-07, version 3.2.7*

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.

### 1/5 — Wasn’t accepted

*2026-07-31, version 3.2.7*

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

### 1/5 — Unable to join clubs or connect, not worth any subscription

*2026-07-23, version 3.2.7*

I am LA based and in the legal field so I thought that there would be a lot of events by me. Unfortunately you are limited to your industry so I am only eligible to join approximately 3 clubs. I requested to join all these clubs and my requests are still pending. This was super disappointing because it takes so long to start a profile. You can connect with people but it is similar to a dating app. The connections are odd because I have been automatically connected with people that I did not “swipe,” I can approve some connections, and I have some people pending that I have no option to approve at all. I did not buy a subscription so I am sure that I can approve the pending people with the subscription but this is honestly not worth your money because getting into a club is not guaranteed.

### 1/5 — Money over mission!

*2026-07-18, version 3.2.7*

I hate that you have to invite 3 people when you sign up. Eventually it will be overcrowded with anyone and the entire point of this social network will be gone. Feels like they just want everyone to subscribe and make more money without a true mission.

### 5/5 — Greatly Intuitive!

*2026-08-20, version 3.2.10*

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.

### 5/5 — Solid professional networking app

*2026-08-14, version 3.2.9*

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.

### 5/5 — Columbia grad

*2026-07-30, version 3.2.7*

Great app for networking, solid for founders looking to connect with like minded people

### 5/5 — Networking Meets Fun

*2026-07-22, version 3.2.7*

Well designed and intuitive app that allows working professionals to network on a more creative level. Reminds me of a mix between Linkedin, Partiful, and Tinder. Lots of different events and clubs for all types of interests and industries. Clean UI and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Really cool!

*2026-07-21, version 3.2.7*

I really enjoyed the UI of the app. It had a good mix of photos, emojis, and graphics without feeling too cluttered. The concept is definitely really cool and is helpful especially in today’s society. Once you graduate college, it can be hard to meet new people so this app is a good first step :)

### 5/5 — Very User Friendly

*2026-07-18, version 3.2.7*

I love how the platform is easy to go through and the style is simple yet unique and modern.  The vibe of the app was not intimidating, and it motivated me to explore the different features.

### 5/5 — nicely structured!

*2026-07-17, version 3.2.7*

i like how easy it is to navigate and how clean the layout is. its not as dense as other existing apps and is organized very structurally without being too overwhelming which i really appreciate! it feels inclusive community wise and i find it interesting that it is application based.

### 5/5 — This app is so great!!

*2026-07-17, version 3.2.7*

Has something for everyone, really great for meeting new people and networking. Whether you’re just trying to make new friends or grow your career this is the place! Seriously like LinkedIn and Meetup had a baby.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-07-16, version 3.2.7*

This app is incredibly well-made with an easy-to-navigate interface that makes connecting with others a smooth process!

### 5/5 — Good Networking

*2026-07-16, version 3.2.7*

Like the idea of it. Definitely an easy way to network through many interests.
