User reviews

it was great until…

i absolutely loved this app when i first got it! but then, i realized that everyone i met on this app who were friends never really lasted long. we would talk for a day or two, exchange discords, then never talk again. it’s nice if you just want someone to talk to or if you’re lonely but if you’re really looking for a friendship, it’s not recommended from me. also, now, hardly anyone uses the app anymore. it used to have a bunch of people to match with, but now, there’s never anyone to match with. and when it does match me with someone, they always end up being like 2-3 years older than me! to the devs, i recommend advertising on tiktok again (that’s how i found the app in the first place) because the numbers have gone downhill. thanks :)

It’s fun and easy to use but I have one problem

I’m not sure if it’s just me but it takes forever to find someone to talk too. I’ve downloaded the app yesterday and took a few tries to find someone and it was fun. It just takes forever i will like to use this app more but I might have to drop it 🤷‍♀️

Fun but a problem

The app is really fun when making friends and being able to play games but it would be when u meet a friend and add them to text that the app doesn’t delete your chat and then not let u find the person again even with searching their name it acts like they just deleted their whole account very irritating.. wish it would save their info for u.

pedos

Hey so like I love this app so much and all but like I've had it for a year now and In the winter everyone stopped using it so I deleted the app and I decided to make a new account just a couple days ago because I wanted to meet new friends over the summer, and I realized that when I would meet people they would all be like 19-20 year olds that I was meeting. Im 14 so Im guessing you would see why that is an issue. I put my birthday in correctly and I even deleted the account and made a new one just to make sure I wasn't like accidentally putting it in wrong and im 100% sure I put it in correctly as I am 14. But like I really like this app and It was great last year and I met so many people my age but I want to experience that again without them all being wayy older than me yk?

Fun & Worth the Download

Honk is a fun and unique way to talk to new people online and to express yourself. I really love the real-time chatting as it does feel more personal, and it’s good fun! The app design itself is immensely pleasing and, again, allows the user to express themselves in many ways. There are a lot of entertaining and also efficient features, such as the personalized statuses.

My only major concern is that it takes a rather long time to match with someone, it seems. I don’t know if this is due to relative inactivity on the app at the current moment, or if it’s a flaw with the system. If it is a flaw, I think it should be looked into. Either way it’s quite the nuisance.

Other than that, definitely recommend Honk. There’s a lot of chill people on the app, which is quite a lot safer and more relaxed than other chat apps.
