User reviews

Thank you developers!

Met someone almost immediately! Excited to keep using the app

Refreshing & creative!

Lighthouse is different than your typical social media apps! It’s refreshing to be on an app that’s not an endless feed, not cluttered by news and nonsense, but just filled with likeminded people who want to connect around the things I care about. Love it! Give it a shot.

Useless app with annoying marketing

Constantly uses bots to advertise the app across different Chicago forums, misguiding people to download. I tried it based on one of the comments and it was completely inaccurate and useless.

Much needed app

Been looking for a local social network like this

Response from developer

thank you. we worked hard to make onboarding quick and seamless so you can focus on connecting — not troubleshooting. welcome to lighthouse 🫶

Cool app

This app is a cool concept for meeting people with similar interests. For example I was looking for an eye doctor recently, and saw there was one in my area that’s also a pilot, so I went to him and I’m glad I did. Give this app a try, you won’t regret it!

Response from developer

love this — appreciate you sharing that. that’s exactly the kind of connection we’re hoping to make easier… finding people nearby with shared interests, even in unexpected ways. glad it led you to someone great. more to come as we keep building ✨
