### 2/5 — University options

*2022-11-30*

They didn’t have my university or at least when I searched it, it never came up. I’m attending the University of Akron

### 2/5 — Trouble logging in

*2021-08-22*

I used this app last year and it worked out great but now that I’m trying to log back in or make a new account it says my number is invalid

**Developer response:** Hey Eggplant monster! We’re sorry you had trouble logging in while we were making changes to the app. Our team has been working behind the scenes to release a huge revamp of the platform, which we are announcing very soon! In the meantime, you’ll have no issues logging into our beta release that’s currently live on the App Store 👀

### 3/5 — Age restriction

*2020-05-01, version 1.0.8*

Can't use app due to me being 17 and going to college next year. My birthday is in the summer and that's too long a wait.

### 2/5 — Too unusual

*2020-04-30, version 1.0.8*

I can’t really navigate too well on the app, plus I can’t make any changes to my profile.

### 2/5 — Bugging for me

*2020-04-27*

I tried to match with possible roommate candidates, but the app saved the ones i passed. It’s as if the app REVERSED the functions of the save button & pass button. The people I initially did not want to save are now saved & the people I did want to saved aren’t even saved.

**Developer response:** Hey Prairie191, thank you for the feed­back! This is an is­­sue we’re currently work­ing to solve asap and it should be solved within the next 24 hours! Please feel free to reach out to us through sup­­­port@den­­so­­­cial.io if you ex­pe­ri­ence any oth­er is­sues and we’ll get back to you im­me­di­ate­ly.

### 5/5 — It’s dope

*2020-04-23, version 1.0.7*

Useful, just a few tweaks here and there, nothing you guys can’t fix, 5 Star App.

### 3/5 — No Option for Graduate Students

*2020-04-23*

This app has a lot of potential and is a GREAT idea but nothing is currently available for graduate students. There are many graduate students are also searching for roommates and I think this app would be a great way to meet people; Maybe add that as an option for future updates instead of just freshman/sophomore/junior/senior

**Developer response:** Hey, thank you for the feed­back and sug­gestion! We have a lot of plans for expanding to reach the entire college community, and providing an option for graduate students will be something we’ll definitely explore in future updates!

### 4/5 — Great app...where’s SDSU?

*2020-04-19, version 1.0.7*

This app seems like such a great idea! However, I can not find San Diego State University on here.

### 4/5 — Can’t complete account

*2020-04-18, version 1.0.7*

It doesn’t allow me to put in my actual birthday. My birthday is passed the month of April.

### 4/5 — School not listed

*2020-04-18*

This app seems really cool and useful however you listed in the description that it could be used by sdsu students but the school isn’t listed :(

**Developer response:** Hey dezelizam! Thank you for the feedback! We’re still work­ing on clean­ing up is­sues like this, and our team is go­ing to con­tin­ue work­ing non­stop un­til every­thing is near per­fect and func­tion­al. We aim to have an­oth­er new up­date very soon, and we’re go­ing to make an of­fi­cial an­nounce­ment so stay tuned! We tru­­­­­ly ap­pre­­­­­ci­ate your pa­­­­­tience dur­ing this time and please feel free to reach out to us on our sub­­­­­­red­dit, r/den­­­­­so­­­­­­cial, or through sup­­­­­­port@den­­­­­so­­­­­­cial.io about any­thing else that comes up and we will get back to you im­me­di­ate­­­­­­ly.

### 1/5 — Bugs when creating an account

*2020-08-14*

Was not able to create an account, when i tried to, it was always telling me that i cannot and crashing. However the UI is really nice, love the font

### 1/5 — Account

*2020-06-04, version 1.0.10*

I can’t even make an account. It keeps telling me that I already have an account which I’ve never had and said the same thing when I used other emails.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2020-05-06, version 1.0.9*

It keeps saying “such email already exists” when I’ve never successfully created an account before. I tried resetting my password and when it sends me the reset link, it takes me to a blank page

### 1/5 — Incredibly buggy, barely works

*2020-05-05, version 1.0.9*

App is so buggy it’s almost not worth using. Can’t edit profile, other profiles glitch, etc.

### 1/5 — App is not working

*2020-04-28, version 1.0.8*

I made an account with the app and can’t add information to my profile, can’t edit my bio so I deleted my account tried to make a new one the app said I didn’t delete my account so I just made with a different email and now I can’t put any pictures in my profile

### 1/5 — Great Potential

*2020-04-27, version 1.0.8*

App has great potential but I am unable to actually message people, wanted to put my snap and ig in my bio but cannot edit bio and selected females only but I’m still being shown lots of males. App has great potential though.

### 1/5 — App is buggy and disorganized

*2020-04-19*

I cannot open some chats to talk to people/view their profiles. And whenever I pass a person, their profile gets saved instead (how do I even remove saved profiles?). Most of the time, when I tap on something, it either does not open at all or takes a couple tries to respond. I also am unable to edit my biography. The controls are not very smooth either; everything feels very blocky.

A few suggestions that I have for any future updates are:

1) Do not completely remove a profile after you pass it (sometimes I want to go back to view them) 

2) Allow users to browse through profiles rather than skipping or saving 

3) Make chats a separate tab to create a neater space

4) Allow users to search for profiles/ have a history tab 

5) Make movement more fluid and detectable (e.g. tapping something makes it bounce a little to show that you tapped on it) 

6) Allow users to connect to social media for a larger reach

**Developer response:** Hey Imogen! Thank you for all the feed­back and suggestions! We’re still work­ing on clean­ing up is­­sues like this and adding these features, and our team is go­ing to con­t­in­ue work­ing non­stop un­til every­thing is near per­­fect and func­­tion­al. We aim to have an­oth­er new up­­­date very soon, and we’re go­ing to make an of­­fi­­cial an­­nounce­­ment so stay tuned! We tru­­­­­­ly ap­pre­­­­­­ci­ate your pa­­­­­­tience dur­ing this time and please feel free to reach out to us on our sub­­­­­­­red­dit, r/den­­­­­­so­­­­­­­cial, or through sup­­­­­­­port@den­­­­­­so­­­­­­­cial.io about any­thing else that comes up and we will get back to you im­me­di­ate­­­­­­­ly.

### 1/5 — Still has errors

*2020-04-16, version 1.0.1*

When I click the link to verify my account, it just takes me to the app and says “link invalid”, and I can’t get my account to be verified.

### 5/5 — my review of den

*2025-07-20*

when i first downloaded den it put me into a onboarding flow that got to know me & it allowed me to join communities that were nearby upon joining the app it works super seamless, i was able to join 7 communities that were around campus & neighboring cities & actually ended up seeing a few people i knew in there lol , if i were to describe it, it feels like a local reddit which is actually a must because i like to know whats going on around me, im interested in seeing what else they have to offer in den’s new updates in the future

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive review!
