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. ### 2/5 — Wants access to all my contacts. *2022-08-18, version 4.35.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Enter at your own discression ig *2022-06-21, version 4.30* 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 ### 5/5 — Good app for slowly manage my kids schedule *2021-02-11, version 3.1.14* The UI of the app is very appealing & attractive for any age group. The best use of this app I will have in my family is to use it as a solely calendar app for my kids sports & school activities & I can share the same with my partner or some family member by creating group. This way I don’t need to share my native whole calendar personal details to them. The month calendar with all famous days are very helpful to be up to date with all celebrations around the world. ### 5/5 — Great track app! *2019-11-21, version 2.1.5* The app really works for me, not only does it help me keep track of everything I have to do, but it’s also really easy to deal with. I’ve never had an app with such detail and such an easy interface. Honestly it’s also really cool how you can follow and keep track about your social events with others on the app. Not only can you follow and share with them, you can also chat! It’s a lot like some other apps but has a very different style that’s really appreciated. If you usually can’t get things done and need things done, use this! It’ll be fun and you might even make a new friend or two. I love it! ### 5/5 — Helps Keep Me Organized *2019-11-06, version 2.1.4* I am very much enjoying the IRL calendar app. I like to stay as organized as possible and using this to coordinate events with family and friends has helped tremendously. I think the app is pretty easy to use and user-friendly. I like that I can also keep updated on events going on near me and add them to my calendar. The best part about this app for me has been organizing my family’s calendar. I use IRL to coordinate where everyone will be and when. Overall, I think this is a great app that I will continue to use into the future. ### 5/5 — So Far, So Good *2019-10-17, version 2.0.14* This app is easy to use. It’s a for the most part a calendar app. You can add events, invite friends, make the event private or public, let your friends invite friends or keep it low key. You can sync it to your google calendar, so you can have all of your events in one place. There is an explore page which tells about people you’ve followed and possible events they may be having, following them and hearting an event adds it to your calendar, like a possible suggestion for the day. It helps me stay a little bit more organized. ### 5/5 — Easy to navigate and Awesome *2019-10-17, version 2.0.14* I usually have to go through the trouble with sending an event or events to several of friends and family. At times I find it rather inconvenient to do this due to the fact that at times there’s a glitch of some sort when clicking on the link. Or the links send you over somewhere else and not to the intended point. With this app is a whole lot easier to send invites to current events and create a plan, so if the notifications are on everyone will be reminded . This is an absolute awesome app for those who love traveling , socializing and experiencing new thing. I totally recommend ### 5/5 — Sex Trafficking *2018-09-09, version 1.1* I downloaded the game after I got home from work cause I had a text message that someone ‘nominated’ me and I was curious. Not more than 3 hours later my dad comes to me with a FB post picture of a screenshot of the text message they send you to get you to join, and apparently girls have been going Missing because they use your location and its for sex trafficking. Now I dont know how much of that is true, but its better safe than sorry I only gave it such a high review so people can see this ### 4/5 — Technology working towards live social interaction *2018-09-05, version 1.1* I really love this app for bringing in new ways to get people together. It has all these wonderful suggestions and challenges for activities to go out and do with friends and family. Once you’re connected through your contacts you are able to select an event such as go for a hike and invite as many people as you would like for whatever date to go hiking with you. Has a wonderful array of choices ranging from date night with your significant other to a wonderful brunch with friends. It also has a great way to keep you connected by letting you anonymously nominate people for badges everyday such as chillest beach jam bringer or the Bear Grills of the group. My only critique is that when you search for people in your contacts, if you search with more than two or three letters it no longer lets you select the person. It must be some kind of bug that I hope will be fixed soon. But other than that I love the idea and action behind this app to get more people out there and connected face-to-face and socially interacting with fun activities instead of just staying home alone on the weekends. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We are working to update search for the next release :) ### 4/5 — Great app *2018-08-21, version 1.1* I have only had this app for five minutes but I’m already enjoying it. I love sending anonymous messages to my friends and fam using this app. This app is great, but it does have its set backs. It’s first setback is familiarity to other apps. I have had many other apps that have similar features like basically the same content. It would be pretty hard to keep up with the other apps considering it’s basically the same. Another setback is the choosing of “noms”. Contact choice is small with only four options. Many of the other apps have the same feature (four contacts to choose out of). My point is, if you added more contact choices it would be more accurate and more fun considering I have 196 contacts. ### 4/5 — Pretty Neat *2018-08-17, version 1.1* I haven’t had this app for very long but I think it’s Pretty Neat. Not only is it just designed so very cute, but it’s easy to navigate too. I like how you can only compliment others, however when I want to nom a specific friend who’s not listed in the given options from my contacts it won’t work for me? Unless it’s not supposed to then I don’t know why being able to choose someone yourself is an option? Anyways I think this a cool concept; for some reason it seems like an even better way to be able to make plans then just texting or group chatting; seems cleaner. Like, there’s specific polls you can create so people can vote on things they want for the activities you invite them to which is so handy cause then it’s not 10 people arguing in imessage and now you have to scroll back and forth to see what’s what, instead it’s all right there in ordered votes! There’s a lot more but basically it seems so organized and it’s nice to see the developers so interactive in their own creation, I’ve seen so many replies to the reviews and the ability to recommend activities is pretty cool, which I’m totally about to abuse 😂 4/5, easy 😃 **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to review! Your feedback is great! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — STOP TEXTING ME!!! *2018-09-24, version 1.1.1* I only downloaded this app so I could write this review. Stop f¥€
