Doesn’t work
Response from developer
Sorry to hear it’s been a disappointing experience. We’d really like to understand what’s feeling glitchy or unrealistic for you so we can improve it. If you’re open to it, email us at steven@frndsoffrnds.com with a bit more detail (or screenshots) and we’ll take a look.
Privacy & Performance Bad
And the UX is slow and cuts my music off. Weak.
Response from developer
Hello - Just to clarify, the app does not send notifications to your contacts saying you’ve joined. What can happen is that existing users who already have you in their contacts may see you appear as a mutual connection once you sign up. That’s how the FRNDS matching works, but it’s not the same as the app messaging your contacts. Sorry about the interrupting your music , that’s not ideal. If you’re still running into issues, feel free to email support@frndsoffrnds.com and we’ll look into it.
freezes during onboarding
Response from developer
Sorry about the freeze at the contact-sharing step, that’s definitely not the experience we want. A small percentage of users hit a temporary hang there (usually related to iOS permissions or a momentary glitch). Try force-quitting the app, then reopening and granting contacts access again. If it still freezes, email us at steven@frndsoffrnds.com with your device model + iOS version and we’ll dig in right away. Appreciate you giving it a shot , we want this part smooth for everyone.
Don’t use this
Response from developer
Sorry the onboarding and verification felt slow for you. Photo selection, identity verification, and contact access are all required steps so we can keep the community safer and make mutual-friend matching work. If something is actually blocking you from finishing your profile, email us at steven@frndsoffrnds.com with your username and we’ll look into it. Most people get through the process without major delay.
Winner!
Response from developer
Thank you! Really glad the mutual-friend approach is landing the way we hoped. No endless swiping and knowing there’s an actual connection is exactly what we set out to build. Appreciate you taking the time to leave this. We're gaining over 2000 new members daily so I guess we're doing something right :) Thanks again for being a part of the FRNDS community.
Good in theory, not so great once you actually try it
Response from developer
We appreciate the feedback, and we're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience. The purpose of the app is to leverage your network to create connection, and by inviting your friends, you have a better chance of growing a robust dating pool of mutual friends. We initially only offer a few potential matches (6) a day to encourage users to be intentional rather than endlessly swipe. We understand these functions may not have aligned with your hope for the app and we thank you for using us and giving us feedback.
Requires full contact access
Response from developer
We don’t sell contact lists, period. The app is built around mutual friends, so it needs access to contacts to find people you already know in common - you can limit the contacts. However limited contacts access often doesn’t give enough data for the matching to work, which is why it can block progress. If you’d rather not share contacts, that’s completely fine, the app just won’t be able to surface as many mutual connections. Feel free to email steven@frndsoffrnds.com if you want us to walk through the privacy options.
