Hey.Café User Reviews

So Positive

It’s what Facebook should have been like, and kind of was, in the very early days. No trolls, no negativity, no fear. Photography is my beloved hobby but until now, I hardly ever shared my work because the internet can be a cruel place. But this place just feels so friendly!

Canadian and Better

Just like the tagline says, it’s the Better Social Network! Finally, a social network that you can contact the developer, report bugs, make suggestions, and even ask for features.
No ads, and it’s free! You can upgrade to a Pro account for some added features, but it’s not necessary to thoroughly enjoy the Network. For me, the added features were worth the small amount for the upgrade.
It’s simply the best social media network that I have found and enjoy using every day.

Nice Canadian replacement…

Of Facebook, great job

So cool!

Easy to use and entertaining! ☕️ love that there are no paid ads or algorithm. Also love that the staff clean out the scammers pretty quickly. The site is funded by voluntary Pro add on but can also use for free.

Canadian app with Canadian values

I love the community and the positive vibes here. Like Canada itself, Hey.Café is against bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and hate. It’s all in the terms of service that you’re supposed to read. They do enforce the rules and I absolutely love that. The people who are giving bad reviews because they got blocked were most likely being hateful or harassing others. This makes it a safe space to be. Another thing that I love: No Advertising! The site is completely free to use and to keep it ad free for everyone, they give you the option to subscribe to Pro.
Thank you for making Hey.Café a safe space and an advertising free place to hang out in! I’m a happy Canadian camper!

Tags and notifications

I can’t add tags and there’s no push notifications so I don’t know what’s going on until I go into the app

Response from developer

You can add tags just like other places, but we intentionally don’t use push notifications as it can be harmful to mental health.

We need more apps like this

I hope this takes off. Censorship in USA is just getting worse by the day

I can't work with this yet, but I'm willing to wait

As someone who use this screen metre because I am blind, this app is not accessible to me as it should be and, I'm Canadian. Hopefully you can improve on this by adding tabs,, to make it easier to navigate because as of right now, I can't work with this app yet.

Response from developer

Apologies, this is something we are working on as time goes on, I will make sure we spend some more time focusing on accessibility controls.

For the financially privileged

The moment I got there, I was pitched to. Upgrade to pro for more reactions, longer posts and edit button. Sound familiar? Yes, exactly like Xitter. Nothing says anti-Canadian than a popularity contest rigged towards those who are willing and able to pay for it. How very ableist.

Response from developer

We don’t have ads, we don’t sell data, the upgrade is the only income the site makes to cover cost, it’s both optional, and not required to do any site functions other than edit stuff after posting.

Lots to Learn for Sure!

I want to get off Facebook yet still have a means to connect with like minded people! Worth investigating for sure! Go Hey.Cafe 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

App keep Crashing

The app keep crashing out anytime I leave the app, it show Java script needed. I really don’t understand this bugs. I use iPhone

Response from developer

Apologies, might have been when we had a huge spike of new users all at once for a week. Things should be way more stable now.

Love it

It such a refreshing change to have a platform that doesn’t make us feel vulnerable. It feels safer than the others. I’m excited to watch it grow.

Canadian social media 👍

Looking forward to how this app develops over time.

Great Canadian Owned

Great Canadian owned social media site and the owner is great and engaging with members for feedback and suggestions

Excellent app

Has all the features that other social media platforms do but better! Plus it’s Canadian made and operated. 🇨🇦

So cool!

Glad this site is now an app too! Addicted to cafe life. Easy to use and entertaining! ☕️
