Non-functioning

Great concept, poor execution. Most of the so called features do not even work. This app needs major upgrades and improvements.

Needs stronger regulations

Love the idea!! Met two girls during my 3 months travelling. However, no longer using the app. I try and post scenery to meet more friends but all i get is men in my notifications, in my dms, its really overwhelming. AND none of them are even travelling. They just try and convince you to come to their country to use the app to find girls.

Access to your Photo LIbrary Mandatory

This app requires you to give it access to your photo library. You can’t just upload an image, it has to be taken out of your photo library.
Oh and without photo you can’t proceed. It tells you „accounts with photos are 10 times more likely blablabla“ which I would happy to accept the malus without photo but you can’t proceed without a photo.
This feels like the app is blackmailing me to grant it access to my photo library. Hell no!

Who is Going Solo for?

This app is ideal for solo travelers looking to meet new people, individuals who are moving abroad and want to build a social network, or anyone seeking to make new friendships and find a sense of community while exploring the world.

Can I use Going Solo to find travel companions for specific trips?
