### 5/5 — Simple but works well.

*2025-10-06*

Yes, it costs $1 to be able to connect with people you know, but it’s a one time fee and very affordable. It would be cool to see some new features (reactions, short messages, the ability to block people, friends lists, etc). I’ve been using it for over a year with no issues. It hasn’t been updated in years, so I hope it continues to function with new iOS updates.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-14*

Does not work took my money just to keep crashing

### 1/5 — misleading

*2025-03-13*

you have to pay in order you use the app with someone you actually know. why would i want to hold hands with a random person

### 5/5 — Don’t normally write reviews…

*2024-04-21*

I cried. 
I love this app, especially since I am very touch starved.
Me and my bf are long-distance, and we downloaded this app, timed it right, and ‘held hands’. We felt so close together.

Thank you.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2023-08-30*

The idea is so cute, but you have to pay to hold hands with a specific person…and if your phone is bigger, it’s really awkward and uncomfortable to hold for longer than a few seconds.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-03-28*

Could not get it to work. Waste of a dollar

### 1/5 — Costs money to hold hands with an person

*2022-09-19*

Unnecessarily expensive for such a simple concept

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-09-12*

Really cool concept and very easy to use.
