My favorite section is the “curated event” tab. It’s easy to find things that fit into my schedule. ### 4/5 — Love it! *2026-07-09, version 1.26* Really fun and interesting app. Nice way to make friends!! ### 4/5 — Experience *2026-07-09, version 1.26* Awesome app! ### 5/5 — Amazing app to connect with peers *2026-07-08, version 1.25* What an amazing app to connect with peers near u absolutely recommended Its rocky at start to get matches but later u can get em easily ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-06-09, version 1.16* I love using Coala.

I found myself getting really confused and not understanding how to actually connect with people. ### 3/5 — Cool concept *2026-08-02, version 1.30* Not enough users in my area yet and the app is a little busy for me. I like the idea though and bring people together is always fun! ### 3/5 — Finding Friends? *2026-06-04, version 1.16* I attach the question mark because it took FOREVER to find a “match”. This app has the ability to be great, but with its basic features (w/o paying) there’s not much to do. ### 3/5 — Possible App Bug *2026-05-29, version 1.14* This app is a great way to socialize, especially for someone who just started college and needed some help branching out. Only issue I had with the app is with the “match me” service. Not sure if anyone else experienced this problem, but once I clicked “match me” it would close out the app. Other than that, amazing way to explore interests and meet new niches! ### 3/5 — Clean Aesthetic & Easy to navigate *2026-04-26* Overall the app strips social planning down to its essentials — propose an activity, see who's in, make it happen. The design is the standout: warm off-white tones, generous whitespace, and soft earth-toned accents give it the calm feel of a printed journal rather than a social app. There are no dark patterns, no algorithmic feeds, nothing competing for your attention — just your plans and your people. A rare app that's as pleasant to look at as it is to use. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-02, version 1.30* Really useful easy to use, straightforward and easy to find new friends with your interest ### 4/5 — Fun app but a little difficult to find matches + share specific interests *2026-07-26, version 1.29* Easy to use and cool app to find friends with similar interests! I wish the options for interests were a little broader, though. The curated events all seemed super fun! ### 4/5 — cute! *2026-07-23, version 1.29* cool cute idea hopefully its useful! ### 4/5 — Nice *2026-07-19, version 1.27* Amazing way to meet new people near you ! ### 4/5 — Super cool *2026-07-18, version 1.27* I like the idea of this app to connect and meet friends with the same interests as you! Super easy to use and understand just takes a little long to find matches. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2026-07-30, version 1.29* I’m from a town where there isn’t much to do for teen/young adults. But with Coala it matches me with my exact vibe. Great way to meet people!!

I love it ### 5/5 — Great fun and Cool app *2026-07-19, version 1.27* I've been using Coala Social for a while, and the overall experience has been smooth and enjoyable. The app has a clean interface, it's easy to connect with people, and I like how simple it is to navigate without feeling overwhelmed. Performance has been stable, though adding more customization options and improving notification controls would make it even better. Overall, it's a promising social platform that keeps getting better with updates, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. ### 5/5 — Great for new students *2026-07-15, version 1.27* It’s great for people moving without knowing anyone in the area in order to find a new friend group. ### 5/5 — Great for moving in new city *2026-07-13, version 1.26* Moving to a new city meeting people can be hard and this app allows for you to find those interested in similar things to you! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-07-12, version 1.26* Really easy to use and match, I like how it asks for levels for activities and the daily match! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
