The new app in town - NYc

Just moved to Brooklyn, without having any social connections here. Friendly helped me find moms around me and we meet for coffee and walks at prospect park. It makes it so easy to find real life connections. Truly recommend!

Don’t waste your time & phone storage

I downloaded the app to make friends because I am new to the area and I have lived here for two months now and don’t know anyone so I feel isolated and alone with just my two kids at home and two at school. My husband is in the military so he’s hardly home so I literally don’t have anyone to talk to or hang out with. Apparently the app is not open in my area and the only way for me to open it in my area is to send it to my friends, except I don’t have any here. Don’t bother downloading this app.

Response from developer

Hey there, Thank you for sharing your experience. It truly sounds like a difficult and isolating moment and honestly, it’s exactly the kind of situation that led us to build Friendly in the first place. We’re moms ourselves, navigating moves, loneliness, and the need for real connection, so we really hear you. Friendly is currently live only in select NYC neighborhoods, which is why you received the message about your area. We completely understand how frustrating that can feel, especially when all you want is someone nearby to talk to or meet. We’re expanding city by city so we can make sure every user has real, local matches, not empty feeds. Your feedback helps us prioritize where to go next, and we’d love to notify you the moment we open in your area. If you’re open to it, reach out to us at contact@friendly-app.com, we’ll make sure you’re first in line, and we’d also love to learn how Friendly can best support you.

Another Waste of Time App

It said you can only use the app if invited. How does that even work? Don’t bother downloading this negative star app.

Response from developer

Hi there, and first thank you for trying Friendly. We hear you. Friendly was built by women, for women, with safety at the heart of everything we do. For us, it’s not a feature, it’s the foundation. That’s why, during our early (alpha) launch, access was limited to invites or a quick validation step, to make sure every woman who steps into the village knows she’s entering a trusted space. You found us right in the middle of that early phase (which honestly makes you a pioneer 🙌). We’re just a few weeks away from opening more broadly, but we’d love to personally welcome you in now. Send us a quick note at contact@friendly-app.com , we’ll take it from there. We’re building this village with women like you in mind. It truly takes a village and you’re definitely part of ours.
