The girls all seem genuine. I’m newly sober so taking my time but thankful for just having a community like this ### 4/5 — Brilliant concept. Love the events *2024-12-19* My favorite part of this app is the events. Great to meet likeminded individuals ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2024-09-30* Club Pillar stands out by fostering meaningful connections between people who value authenticity and self-improvement. The app’s sleek and intuitive design makes it easy to use, and the membership model ensures high-quality matches. What really sets it apart are the in-person events, offering unique experiences and a great way to connect with other members. Definitely worth it!! ### 5/5 — THE BEST IDEA *2024-09-19* FINALLY! A dating app where I can breathe and find like minded people without having the awkward conversation of “so why don’t you drink”? The members have been so quality and I don’t feel lost in a sea of people like I do on other apps. The events that the membership include are absolutely insane…. Huge fan of this app ### 5/5 — Love this concept! *2024-09-10* I know the app is new, but I’m excited to see how it grows! Already starting to see people pop up in my area 😊 ### 5/5 — Such hot girls on there! *2024-08-17* There are such hot babes on this app! ### 5/5 — Yesss *2024-08-13* I’ve been having a hard time getting dates on other profiles because most people want to go out for drinks! So nice to finally have a platform where people want to get to know each other in other ways without having to explicitly say why. Excited to join the community. ### 5/5 — Rebranding sobriety *2024-08-06* Beautiful app with an amazing goal. Excited to be a part of the community. ### 5/5 — One of the most beautiful UI’s I’ve ever seen *2024-08-06* This is a game changer for the sober community and the UI is amazing! ### 5/5 — Forward thinking app *2024-08-06* FINALLY a dating app for people that are sober, sober curious or just light drinkers!!! There are so many other ways to connect in dating and I’m so thankful this app allows me to connect with like minded people. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Spam Messaging *2024-12-15* Spam messaging didn’t even opt in not sure if that’s even legal **Developer response:** Hey - We apologize for this as we had an issue with our email server. We will be sure to resolve this for future members and hope to see you on the app soon! ### 1/5 — Where is the benefit? *2024-12-05* A majority of the time, the app doesn’t open or load. I’ve tried deleting the app entirely and reinstalling - that makes it fully open *once* before the spinning circle takes over. When/if it opens, you see the same people over and over - though their names and sobriety status seem to change, which is highly suspect. The last message I sent a “match,” which was over a month ago, was “does anyone actually use this app?” Still waiting on a response to that…which I think is an answer in and of itself. All of this and they are trying to charge more than the outrageous fees of Hinge. The designers and owners need to tear it down to the studs and start over. ### 1/5 — Very glitchy *2024-12-04* The app is very glitchy and doesn’t load and open half the time. One or two likes in one month and no matches while on other apps I have many. I like the concept though. ### 1/5 — Poor app design *2024-11-30* My app hasn’t been able To open in over a week ### 1/5 — Annoying incessant spam. They keep trying to upsell you *2024-09-20* These guys will not stop messaging even though i have texted stop multiple times. Its just harassment at this point. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2024-09-17* Couldn’t get past the ‘enter email’ page. Wouldn’t do anything when I tapped continue so I gave up. ### 1/5 — $30/month to see no one; a scam *2024-09-07* You have to submit a profile and then pay $30/month, and what do you get? You get to see 4 people A DAY, can’t see who likes you, and constant reminders to pay more. Don’t download. Seems fake. ### 1/5 — No way am I paying… *2024-08-29* They have you apply for “membership” but after about a week long vetting process, you build a profile and THEN they you don’t get access unless you pay either A) 1 month for $29.99 or B) 1 year for $289.99. You gotta be kidding. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-08-27* The app feels like it’s just in its beta stage. I got only 3 matches the first day and haven’t gotten any since. How can they charge for this? I reached out to customer service and no one’s responded. ### 2/5 — Poorly Executed. Not Worth it *2024-10-30* Club Pillar seems like a great idea that is just not well executed. First you must apply to be on the app and then once approved you can fill out your profile but the catch is… you cannot view the app or use it until you pay either a monthly or a yearly subscription! They also have a diamond option which seems very expensive. I didn’t want to pay so I deleted the app and soon after received a text message offering me a free month. I signed up for the free month and it has been 24 hours and I have received no matches. I did get one this evening and when I tried to click on it to view it I received an error message about their payments not being available right now… I don’t think this app is ready to be public yet. I think it’s a bit unfair that they make you pay before even viewing. And the fact that the app is very buggy doesn’t help either. Such a disappointment because it’s a great idea. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good for a new guy *2024-12-21* Just moved to NYC from Austin and it’s so refreshing to see an app like this in NY….please launch in TX y’all! I’m looking forward to attending some of these events and building a friend group through here. ### 5/5 — Finally an app that gets it! *2024-12-21* I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. A dating app for wellness-focused people? Would it be another generic app with a different coat of paint? Nope. Club pillar is real This app isn’t just about awkward DMs and waiting for matches to reply. Club Pillar throws actual events where you can meet people in real life. And not just any events—these are fun, alcohol-free socials where you can actually remember what people say (what a concept, right?). I went to a mocktail night last week, and not only did I meet some cool people, but I also discovered my new favorite drink…cucumber basil fizz 💕 As for the app itself, I love that it’s all about quality over quantity. The approval process weeds out the trolls and keeps the community focused on wellness and genuine connection. Sure, you have to subscribe to see matches, but honestly, it’s worth it to avoid the chaos of other apps. Oh, and the bugs? Look, every new app has a few quirks. But the team is super responsive, and I can already see improvements. It’s like watching a little startup baby take its first steps—adorable and full of potential. If you’re tired of apps that treat dating like a game and want something that actually fosters real connections give it a shot ### 5/5 — Raya but classier *2024-12-20* Finally connecting with guys in NYC who don’t drink. It’s been hard! 🙏🙏 ### 5/5 — Top tier *2024-12-20* Good for you to know it’s not just for sober people. Also for people that want to be more health conscious. They have done cool things events in New York, Miami and LA! Def recommend ### 5/5 — Safe space! *2024-12-19* Love that I feel safe since it’s membership based. Fun people so far! ### 5/5 — Easy to use, quality people *2024-12-19* Love the design and the community. I feel safe here!
