Great foundation
I would say Collage is still in the beta-phase of development. The code is there, the platform works (is a little confusing at first) but all in all easy to figure out. Is mostly bug free, and just needs further additions.
The photo ID and video requirement is very nice in terms a of security. And the process is very straightforward. I was approved in a few hours (results may vary slightly).
Right now you’re limited to 5 matches a day. Which as of writing isn’t a huge ordeal. Because the population isn’t overly large. But could become an issue in the future due to inactive accounts, and people essentially wasting their likes on a person that will never come back….. so maybe the addition of seeing when the person was last online within a 48 hour window (not too exact, but you would at least know they’re active)
One last and final point is that I really like that they are not a premium service. The Neurodiverse population suffers much more from employment issues, and or lack of employment. And it’s nice to know there is a safe and comfortable platform for us all to go… maybe they will offer a premium option in the future, and if so, I hope it’s reasonable.
Cheers!

Don’t get the app
Just got to a toxic app don’t get this app there’s trolls on it and will harass you they did to me
Doesn’t work
Tried to sign up. Get to the OTP section. I never get the code. It times out. I select resend. I get the error message Bad Request. It then resets to the beginning of the process. I tried three times. It failed three times. Might have been a great app but will never know.
Explore Option
The concept of this app is intriguing; however, my main gripe lies with the Explore feature. Based on my user interface experience, there's no direct way to view a person, only their interests. While this approach isn't inherently flawed, navigating an app with an unappealing UI can be a major turn off

Just a great app so far
Yes there highs and lows with this app I think you also need to branch out to other social media not just promote on instagram because right now that’s all they are using to promote for people to get the app so I think they need to use other apps or have the people that are on it also promote it and help get more people this app is so good that I can and other people can find friends and all that but if they are only promoting to instagram then that’s kind hard to find others to join the app need to use other platforms to have the ones on the app help to promote but also maybe have something where people can help but maybe also add things like where you can have something like another part of the app where you have another part of the app where if you are a gamer or something and you want someone else to join in the games you play they can also join by letting you know by hitting this button that you can ask and you have buttons or something be that way or whatever it will let the gamer or someone know that that person will collaborate with you and put this on all of them not just for gamers but also maybe you can also put a live streaming feature that would be fun to so any other people on this app can watch that live streamer then you mostly will get other people like us to be on the app also

Love the profile structure
Uploading an intro video allowed me to introduce myself in American Sign Language rather than written English. If someone doesn’t understand American Sign Language, I don’t wanna meet ‘em. Full stop! The profile questions and available answers cover the most important things about autistic compatibility. Through these answers we know if two autistic individuals’ stims make the other uncomfortable due to conflicting sensory issues. I’m grateful that Collage Connections sought me out on social media first.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy that you have joined the Collage community and that you are on your way to making some meaningful connections!
Picking up steam, lots of potential
Found this off of some media plugs and got super stoked for what it had in store! Super excited to see how this app evolves now that it’s finally launched.
In spite of its delays and a rough start, I think a greater advertisement push will garner more folks to the platform. Security is daunting, sure, but it’ll filter out the people who truly see themselves successfully making friends, relationships, or hookups within the neurodivergent community!

Thank you for your review! We agree that the extra security features are very important to meet our goal of helping people build meaningful relationships. Enjoy!
Doesn’t work
This app asks for information that is too personal (your address with your house number and street) and registration doesn’t work.
Response from developer
We are so sorry that the registration did not work for you. We heard our users feedback regarding the personal information and have updated the app. The newest version requires less personal information, but continues to have other safety features that we feel are still important.
Sketchy
This app requires a great deal of personal info including home contact info and a recorded video interview. For people in marginalized communities that are often targeted, this is extremely unwise. Possibly a poorly veiled data mining operation. Not recommended.
Response from developer
We are sorry that you feel this way. We originally requested this information to do background checks for the safety of all of our users. Obviously, it was not our intention to cause any discomfort or distrust and we want you and other users to know that we are taking the feedback into consideration. In a future update, we will discontinue asking for the personal information, however, we will continue with the phone verification and the video submission to maintain the safety of the app.
