Sexploitation
While the app contains public, PG-rated chat rooms, much of the activity takes place in private XXX rooms. In those private spaces, I have observed extreme sexually explicit text, images, voice messages, and other NSFW content being shared despite the app’s stated policies. I have also seen administrators and long-time users participating in or encouraging that environment. Because private rooms cannot be reported through the app, and urls are masked, app admins have their own rooms even… and there is little accountability for what occurs there as well as no Terms of Service Round it.
I also found it concerning that payments for avatars and profile enhancements are handled through Venmo rather than the App Store’s payment system.
Based on my experience, the app presented itself as a general social chat platform, but the toxic community culture and moderation did not match those expectations. It’s a NSFW friends club masking as a chat app.

Thank you for your feedback. However, this review contains several inaccurate and misleading claims. Eclipse is an 18+ social platform with Community Guidelines and Terms of Service that apply to all users and all groups. Moderation decisions are based on evidence and reported behavior, not on how long someone has been a member or who they know. Private groups are user-created spaces, but they are not exempt from our policies. Users found violating our rules are subject to moderation regardless of where the behavior occurs. Regarding purchases, optional profile enhancements available through our website are separate from the iOS app and fully comply with applicable platform policies. While we respect your right to share your experience, describing Eclipse as a “NSFW friends club” does not accurately reflect the platform or the experience of the overwhelming majority of our community.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with Eclipse did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a welcoming environment for all users and take reports of harassment, threats, inappropriate content, and moderation concerns seriously. Community behavior and room culture can vary, but we are continually working to improve moderation, transparency, and the overall user experience. If you encountered specific incidents that violated our guidelines, we encourage you to report them through the app or contact our support team directly so they can be reviewed. Feedback like yours helps us identify areas where improvements are needed. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Immature
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. Eclipse is an 18+ app, and while adult conversations can happen, they are not the focus of the platform. We have a wide variety of groups covering different interests, and users are free to explore and join the communities that fit them best. We’re sorry your initial experience wasn’t what you expected. The welcome rooms are only a small part of the app and don’t represent the full community. If you only spent time in a few public rooms, it’s easy to miss many of the active groups available throughout the platform. We appreciate all feedback, but we also encourage users to explore beyond their first interactions before judging the entire community.
If you don’t spend money you do not matter here
Update & Response to Developer:
I never demanded anything. I messaged Boss because another user wanted to leave after their issue wasn't handled properly despite providing valid proof. I urged him to care more about his community. The way he responded was unprofessional and only validated my concern that he did not care, or want to care, about the community. I chose to leave the app on my own afterward. I have screenshots proving that nothing I said was a demand.
Response from developer
You’re entitled to your opinion, just as we’re entitled to run our platform as we see fit. You weren’t ignored because you don’t spend money. You were ignored because repeatedly demanding that we operate according to your personal preferences isn’t productive. Reporting concerns is one thing; expecting ownership to take orders from you is another. The app has thousands of users, and decisions are made based on the platform as a whole, not on who complains the loudest. If Eclipse isn’t for you, that’s completely fine. There are plenty of other apps available. We wish you the best elsewhere.
Awful moderators
Boring and kinda creepy
Response from developer
We’ve never paid users for 5-star reviews. That rumor is old gossip and completely false. Eclipse is an open social app, and like any social platform, not every interaction between users will be positive. We do review reports, moderation concerns, and abuse cases when they’re brought to us, but we also can’t control every disagreement between individuals or room owners. A review section also probably isn’t the place to speculate about specific users or social circles. If someone has a legitimate concern, reporting it directly is the best way for us to look into it properly. We appreciate all feedback, but we also want feedback to stay factual and fair.
It’s okay
STOP DELETING MY REVIEW.
Scam App & corrupt app owner
developer is a predator
garbage
Absolutely brilliant
This app is absolutely amazing bright colourful and slick extremely well made and constantly being improved and polished it is a testament to the dev and his skills and the admins on the app are real people who interact with the users and they also do a fantastic job at managing the groups and keeping bots and trolls away they are extremely nice helpful people and I consider them as much as friends as anyone else on the app I feel safe and comfortable and I have met so many wonderful people who are supportive and kind I cannot recommend eclipse enough!
