Concerned

I saw an ad and downloaded it .. work perfectly and was insanely fun to use with my family and friends. Which is why I gave it 3 stars- Have not used it for a few days come back and it is completely changed …it’s now a group chat all you can do is pick a group to chat or follow where they disabled the comments. There is no option to create your memes with your words like before. I deleted it and reinstall same issue and I am not able to get back to those options, only the group feature I did not sign up to use group chats. Not sure if it’s a flaw but don’t like being tricked or lied to.

Wants access to all my contacts.

I’m sorry, but what you’re saying about giving only access to the contacts a choose is a lie. The only option to select is “contacts.” After reading all the comments about peoples contacts are being spammed with messages about your app and seeing that you can’t move on without selecting to give access to my contacts; was enough for me to say no! I’m sure the app is great and all, but I’m not ticking a bunch of people off just so you all can get more subscribers. Remove the option of having to give access to my contacts and I’ll consider trying again.

Great app

Don’t listen to the negative reviews. Just use the app on messages. I never use the app to communicate. I only use the meme feature on messages. So far, it’s been working great. No issues whatsoever. If you don’t want to have issues (again can’t confirm that there’s issues since I’ve never used the actual app to communicate with people) just use the iMessage feature that comes along with the app. Just be sure to create an account first. Other than the (not even a negative really) minuscule con that you have to create an account, I highly recommend this app for iMessage.

Enter at your own discression ig

Tried to make an account with my email and it said “Phone is not enabled for your country, please use…”. I can’t even click to read the rest, as far as I can see? Might wanna make that an option so people know what to do

EDIT: Worked two days later, but the app is incredibly laggy and it takes forever to switch the page you’re on. Maybe it’s because I was in one of the bigger groups, but still annoying. The community is also. Something, for sure. The app also didn’t ask for permission to access my photos before i added a pfp as far as I can remember which is kinda sketching me out. Overall very strange experience, keeping my rating the same. Good luck to the devs

My only groups app !!!! 💜💜💜😻😻⚡️⚡️⚡️

Im one of those people who are hard to get on a new app. Maybe it’s because I’m over the age of 25 and we watched the mania of app life integration from the begin, but... I do have to say I got sold on this one. I’ve been off of social media for over a year now feeling overwhelmed by everyone’s energetic shares about things that mainly didn’t really correlate to important in the NOW happenings. Once I cut off IG and FB I felt so much better energetically and emotionally - but I missed having a platform where I could genuinely engage with my friends. What I like about IRL is that it’s only focus is giving you a digital tool to actually make plans that matter IN REAL LIFE. I know every time I’m opening this app, I’m not just mindlessly scrolling through content. I’m actually doing something valuable for myself and friends! So yes, 4 stars for now. I can tell this app is generally built for a younger audience than mine, but sincerely hope this catches on for all age groups.💜💜💜🌈🌈🌈😻😻😻😻
