LOCL is the digital space for our local community and their company values align with human connection, not selling human data. ### 5/5 — This App Is Needed More Than Ever *2025-07-29* A platform for building REAL relationships with other humans where you live…In a world where everything is going AI and we are staring at people through screens—this platform brings the human connection and real-life interactions back to the social media landscape. ### 5/5 — Local (LOCL) Matters *2025-07-18, version 1.0.53* Finally, a social app that helps build community instead of just sharing information and misinformation! About time! ### 5/5 — Excellent app and super exciting potential! *2025-07-13* I had the privilege of hearing Bob speak about the social media landscape and his vision of a next generation, local-first set of communities which is incredibly exciting. While the app is still growing, it’s working very well, looks great and holds massive potential ### 5/5 — Rooted, Real, and so Refreshing! *2025-07-12* Absolutely obsessed with the new LOCL app! As someone who lives for community and connection, this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. It’s thoughtful, easy to use, and actually helps you discover people, places, and purpose right in your own neighborhood. LOCL makes local feel personal again — and I’m all in. ✨🌍👏 ### 5/5 — What the digital space actually needs *2025-07-11* Connecting people, getting them off their phones and into real life community settings. Priceless. Much much needed. ### 5/5 — Just what we need *2025-07-09* In a social media world full of mindless distractions and AI narrated videos, this new platform is just what we need. Interact with your own communities and spend time discussing what matters to your life and how you live. This may be what helps save us by reminding humans that real connection and conversation is what moves the world in positive ways. ### 5/5 — Real Community *2025-07-09, version 1.0.51* Finally an app that is build for community engagement and building. Personal, local and meaningful. Yay! ### 5/5 — What Social Media Should Be *2025-07-02, version 1.0.48* Finally a social app that brings people together in authentic communities for noble and locally-relevant causes. An app genuinely for the benefit of the communities it serves. ### 5/5 — Love LOCL *2025-07-01* Finally an app that meets critical human needs (building local community, real person to person connection, to name a few) without ads or scrolling addiction. Just useful, simple, and uplifting. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2025-07-01* This app has given me the opportunity to get away from massive text threads or sloppy facebook groups. The level of intentionality put into this app allows for intentionality in building community with actual people in proximity to me! Love it. ### 5/5 — Best App for Local Groups *2025-07-01* As a community strategist, i test and try out a LOT of different tools and i have yet to find a better mobile app experience than Locl for hosting your local group. Also, the founding team is awesome, they’ve got my vote! ### 5/5 — No more globalism *2025-07-01* Community and connection is desperately needed in these times. This app takes social media to where it’s needed most and removes big corporate influence from the picture. Now we can connect with like minded folks close by and enjoy the passions that bring us all together. This app truly does help everyone thrive in a healthy way 🙌🏼 I love it and highly recommend 💯 ### 5/5 — Finally, a way to connect locally *2025-06-30* I’d been looking for a way to organize a few local groups but got so tired of all the junk and and on other platforms. LOCL is easy to use, is continuously being updated and refined based on feedback and I think will only get better. It feels fresh and full of positive energy. ### 5/5 — LOCL is where we’re going *2025-06-30* A breath of fresh air to be on a platform that prioritizes human connection over selling ads. Practical solution for sports teams, local clubs, and organizations. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2025-06-30* This is a beautifully made experience- no ads, no slop, no fees, just communities at work and at play. It serves a clear purpose without all the scammy noise we’ve gotten way too used to - so refreshing! ### 5/5 — Healthy social media *2025-06-20* Here’s a social media app you don’t have to feel guilty about using. It takes all the worst parts of social media and sheds them while keeping all the good community pieces. You can connect with others and feel involved without feeling dragged down by negativity. ### 5/5 — The app the world needs *2025-06-20, version 1.0.11* The word needs more depth and LOCL is the catalyst in bringing connection in communities in a tone deaf world. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 5/5 — LOCL is where we’re going *2025-11-13* A breath of fresh air to be on a platform that prioritizes human connection over selling ads. Practical solution for sports teams, local clubs, and organizations. ### 5/5 — Tyler Combs *2025-11-13, version 1.0.80* I love how this app is promoting local businesses and communities in my own town! Super easy to navigate! ### 5/5 — Finally! Something for community engagement! *2025-11-13* I loath social media and longed for an app that helps create actual real life and (most importantly) local connections. No algorithm and no AI slop! Real communities and real people in real life. ### 5/5 — Community by the Community! *2025-11-13, version 1.0.80* It’s about time there’s a place to really know what’s going on around me! I love LOCL’s mission - Community build by the Community! ### 5/5 — No-Brainer for Real Relationships *2025-11-08* I am so excited about this app and already making such great connections. Algorithms have siloed us and butchered the online “social media” experience—but LOCL is connecting real people to real people again, around common interests and for real life meetups to build relationship and community. This is what social community was always meant to be! I give it a 100 out of 100. ### 5/5 — Authentic connections *2025-11-06, version 1.0.80* A way to bring folks together for real. Easy and smooth. It’s gonna be fun! ### 5/5 — Social media done right *2025-11-05* LOCL is exactly what social media has been missing, something that ACTUALLY brings people closer together. It’s a great way to pop open an app and see what events or activities are happening locally promoting you to get out of the house instead of endless consumption of entertainment. Excited to see where this goes! Been wanting to start my own run club and I’m stoked to do it here!!! This is the next big thing in social connection!!! ### 5/5 — A platform for Gen Z to belong and find meaningful community. *2025-11-05* LOCL provides a connected and supportive way for our NextGen uoung people find belonging and meaningful connections locally. We need this more than ever and this is the platform that makes this happen. Life2Launch’s Gen Z-led team is all in!! ### 5/5 — The Future of Community *2025-11-05* This is what we need. Connected locally with real people. Authenticity is this apps super power. If you feel something is missing in terms of community in your life, maybe this is the place to start. Check it out! ### 5/5 — Find your community *2025-11-05, version 1.0.80* Real people community is the future. Don’t let AI fake at your network. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
