This app is everything for skate community !!!
I wish I had this 10 yr ago when I was learning to skate alone in a city with no skate friends. It’s perfect for making friends in your city, any city you visit, group chats, pics, PLUS tutorials and more etc etc
Like morning sunshine
GREAT community, GREAT tutorials, and nothing but inspiration
Wonderful App to Connect with SK8 Girls Worldwide
This is an incredibly useful tool. Totally recommend to all looking to connect to local skate community!
Review
Love the app! It’s so nice to have one place to meet the skate community 💕
Pretty glitchy, but great resource
I run into multiple little issues with this app. The most common being my drafted message/post vanishes if I just touch another part of the screen (like scrolling up to review what someone said in a message or thread). Poof, it just gets wiped out or partially wiped out and I have to do it all again.
I also wish I could add more people to a group chat once it’s been created, but it seems you just have to make an entirely new group chat to add more people. Obviously not ideal or convenient — no one wants to be in a bunch of different versions of the same group chat, and it’s not easy to remember every person in the prior version when recreating it either. It becomes a whole task and clutters inboxes. I end up just keeping the gc the same and trying to remember new individuals so I can message them directly, which is of course redundant and not fail-proof.
Other issue is sometimes the area to type in is non-functioning and I have to back out of the thread and re-enter it. I think this happens when I tap a comment notification from my iPhone “notification center” and am led directly to the thread. If I open the app and navigate myself to the thread instead, I haven’t seen that issue in that case.
It would be cool if you could post a poll, and an event. Having my city/chapter be the equivalent of a massive group chat, is a lot to sort through and a lot of text to look at and make sense of. If there were a place to just see events people create so I can simply join other women on their informal, group skates (similar to how the BFF app if/the formerly known Geneva app) it’d be easier to get together. Being able to create different types of posts (e.g. events, polls, text) creates a much smoother and easy-to-traverse system, promoting more use of the app and more skate gatherings. (:
All of that said, very glad this app exists and thankful to have access to so many fellow women interested in skateboarding, and I hope the app progresses and sticks around.
