Seems like it would be a good app
Disappointed, but Good Idea
OG: I was excited to find this app because finding new groups and events in my area is difficult. However, I am beyond disappointed to find that the entire app is behind a subscription-based paywall. The least they could do is offer a free trial so you can see if they actually have interesting events in your area prior to paying. They should tell you this before you fill out an entire profile.

Hi, solo founder here. As of July 17th when you wrote this review, we only offer free trials. We say "no payment due today" as well. You are more than welcome to use the app before deciding whether or not to pay for it. Given your review is incorrect, can you please take it down? 1 star reviews are deeply painful for new apps and for the overall mission I'm working on (helping people everywhere find and build authentic friends). Thank you.
Just an app wrapper around Meetup
Response from developer
The goal is to help people that *aren't* familiar with activites in their city. I mean this sincerely, what were you expecting when you used my app? Do my screenshots and website not speak to what I'm actually trying to accomplish? I built this for people who want to make friends they'll see again and need some help getting started. If something is not for you, you're welcome to move on, but leaving a 1 star rating for a solo developer is really disappointing when I deliver exactly what I promise to deliver.
Cash grab

Sorry to hear we didn't meet your expectations. If you're open to sharing what you did expect from an app like this please email me at cj@omgcareer.com because I'd like to understand where we missed the mark and could do better.
Paying to meet ppl is just greedy

I'd like to address the title of your review since I look at it differently. If I can inspire and motivate others to try things, and provide them with easy options they can click a button to attend, I'm making it extremely simply to take actions that (in my humble opinion) can significantly improve their lives by helping them growth, learn new things, and have the potential to make lasting friendships. Or, they can save money by continuing their same routines which I suspect consist of a lot of youtube, netflix, tiktok etc. Personally, the value of getting exposure to west coast swing dancing 16 years ago changed my life and if someone offered me $10,000 do never do it again, I'd refuse. I want others to try things, learn things, and meet their people. If you have ideas for how I can better accomplish that I'd be glad to hear about it: cj@omgcareer.com
