When will it be done… ### 3/5 — Too Many Scammers *2025-12-25, version 3.24.4* Great Concept. But way too many scammers on this platform. ### 2/5 — Can’t change range *2025-11-22, version 3.24.2* I’m In Toronto and everyone is either in different parts of Ontario or the US. 50km away is way too far. Wouldn’t recommend this app. ### 2/5 — try aa *2025-11-04, version 3.24.0* why pay? when it is to save people's lives? ### 2/5 — Glitches frequently *2025-07-24, version 3.23.6* The app glitches a lot. I constantly get failure to save my city for my location. I kept getting an error code 500 when I was setting up my premium account. I love the idea of this app however, there are definitely are some kinks. It needs to work out ### 3/5 — $30 a month *2025-04-28, version 3.22.6* You guys are high! Just because I am not using doesn’t mean that I want to spend $360 a year on an app that does the same thing as the free ones. ### 1/5 — All Women Fakes & Scammers *2025-04-20, version 3.22.6* At least 80% of the women on this app seem to be fakes & scammers from personal experience. ### 2/5 — Great In Theory *2025-04-03, version 3.22.4* Love the concept, but flawed execution. Repeating matches many, many, many times over…even after declining. True was of money and time ### 3/5 — Love the idea, but it’s lacking *2025-03-14* I love the idea of a sober online community and I love the support I receive from others in sobriety on this app. I don’t care for the break up in the feed (Loosid marketplace, invest in Loosid, recover voices, etc); there has to be a better way to offer these features. I am hanging in, waiting hopefully for some changes to be made in the app to make it more enjoyable and aesthetic! **Developer response:** Hello Jonicantdance! Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you’re finding value in the support and connection within our sober online community—it’s what we strive for. We truly appreciate your input regarding the feed and its layout. Feedback like yours helps us to identify areas where we can improve the user experience, and we’ll definitely take this into consideration as we work on updates to make the app even more enjoyable and visually appealing. ### 1/5 — Truly terrible. *2025-03-14* I gave this app a noble effort but it’s truly terrible. For starters, I got banned for using a cartoon image of myself and needed to work with support to get reinstated. Just a cartoon guy with a hat and beard holding up his index finger. Nothing obscene. People on this app might not want to post photos of themselves. Think about it! The staff truly dropped the ball on this one. Messaging has been glitchy and laggy so I need to check hours later at times. The dating tab used to auto select, but I think that has been fixed now. The staff needs to show better sensitivity though. **Developer response:** Hello Mickey! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. To clarify, your account was banned specifically from the Dating side of the platform because it included a profile with a cartoon image. Our users in the Dating section frequently report accounts that don’t feature real photos, as the community generally prefers interacting with profiles showcasing genuine individuals. We also appreciate you letting us know about the messaging issues. We’re actively working on improvements to ensure smoother and more responsive communication for all users. Your patience and feedback mean a lot to us as we continue improving the platform and user experience. Thank you again! ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up *2024-12-04, version 3.21.8* Can’t sign up keeps saying invalid network and I have contacted them no response either ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible, truly terrible. *2026-07-10, version 3.25.0* Nothing but bots. And not even good ones. Obvious AI conversations from people no where near my locale. ### 1/5 — Loosid *2026-06-17, version 3.25.0* Was told on facebook free!! As usual waste of my time as not free ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-05-27, version 3.25.0* This app was advertised as free which it isn’t. So I paid for it and it didn’t help. ### 1/5 — paywall *2026-04-30, version 3.24.17* being immediately greeted with a pay wall in a sober space feels against the principles, should be a donation based, free app and space to align with core values of recovery ### 1/5 — Not a recovery app *2025-10-22, version 3.23.15* This is not an app for people who are serious about recovery. ### 1/5 — Disingenuous *2025-08-28* So I gave Loosid a try and all was going well for a while. One day I couldn’t log in. I contacted the developers about the issue and they had noted that my account was banned for using a cartoon for my profile picture. Did it not occur to them that many of the users on this app may not want to use a personal photo? People want to stay anonymous when discussing the matters that this app was designed for. Good golly! It gets worse. I wrote a review on the play store and the developer response was just a lie. He or she indicated that I was just banned from the dating section only. Thankfully I got reinstated but now I just don’t want to taint my phone with this app because I see how disingenuous the staff is. One star is more than generous for this giant L. **Developer response:** Hello Mickey! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

For one, I constantly get notifications to buy stuff in the shop. Often, those notifications appear in other areas, like matches on the dating section. I also got a free trial that would be $30/month after I forget about it. You can get more from recovery groups on regular social apps. This has no groups, pages, communities, walls, events, etc. Nothing but a singular feed curated by the staff. Also, since the dating app is so limited and lacking, the community side is 50% guys commenting on women, and 50% guys trying to sound dramatic like Bill W. It’s a proof of concept - minimally viable. Not worth $30/mo simply because it has a generic LLM attached. **Developer response:** Hello cldevdad! Loosid has been free to download and use since 2018. The only optional premium feature is the SAM™ daily sober mentor, and even that includes a scholarship program for those facing financial hardship, because access to support should never depend on money. If you’re receiving notifications, they’re meant to highlight features that many in the community find helpful. And while we’re constantly evolving, Loosid was built to offer a safe space for people in recovery, not to mimic mainstream social media. If you ever want to revisit the app or explore what’s new, we’re here. ### 1/5 — Makes you use your full name *2025-07-11, version 3.23.4* They've disabled the option to create an account using your email. The options they offer create an account with your full name. I don't want to use my full name and I think the user should be allowed this privacy. I did initially create an account but thought better of it and deleted it. Also deleted the app. ### 1/5 — $29 a month? For what? *2025-06-25, version 3.23.0* First of all, I reached out to the owner years ago and told him all of the things I’m about to tell you. Big guys too busy charging people $30 a month for a terrible app. How is it that there’s a social media that you can’t pick your username? What year is it? You can get literally everything in this app other places and the $30 price tag is such a joke. The dating app is even worse And I find that hard to believe but it’s true. The sad truth is these people are not in the recovery business. They are in the capitalism business, and if they truly cared about people, they would make the app better and make it more affordable. Make sure you leave them a review ! Especially if you hate the app as much as I do ### 1/5 — Filled with Scams *2025-05-26, version 3.22.8* I’m sure the developers of this app mean well, but they are terrible at screening profiles for fakes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-07-20, version 3.25.0* I want to thanks for the daily tip. I am grateful for this support community 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — I’m Just the President. I’m Also a Client! *2026-07-10, version 3.25.0* I cofounded Loosid with MJ and Zhanna. I’d like to hear your thoughts, suggestions, ideas, concerns and angry outbursts. ### 5/5 — Love the community *2026-03-26, version 3.24.16* I love that this app has the basics for tracking sobriety and all that but also feels like a full social network type of platform. ### 5/5 — Recovery,,,made beautiful! *2025-11-25, version 3.24.2* Great app to go to for support and give support, if your In luck! ### 5/5 — Jouraling *2025-11-17, version 3.24.1* To me it's like journaling. A way to express myself and document my recovery ### 5/5 — Thanks Loosid! *2025-07-25, version 3.23.6* Helped me out tot find like minded people, driven torwards the same goal. Great tool when you aren’t able to speak to a sponsor or need some little umph on your own time ### 5/5 — Terrible app *2025-06-04, version 3.22.8* I want to set a distance perimeter of where I want people to be from and instead of giving me people close to me it will send me people 300 miles away of me. Also, most of profiles say they are young (I’m 21 ) and the profiles will say the person is 19 and it’s a grown ahh woman of over 60 years. Terrible ### 5/5 — Supportive community *2025-02-11, version 3.22.1* Nice community to stay positive and on track ### 5/5 — Helping hands *2025-02-10* For a lot of us in recovery there are days when we feel helpless having someone care enough to listen , give feedback or someone needing advice from you is helpful I would advise this for anyone in recovery thank you **Developer response:** Hello dj$.is meEe!

Your feedback inspires us to keep fostering a positive and caring environment.

I would definitely recommend this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
