Good app for getting out of the house
I’ve been to a few Mesh events and enjoyed them. That being said, attendance for the free events can be unreliable, with many people not showing up or being like an hour late.
Great app and way to meet people with similar interests
I've been impressed so far with the ease of using the app and I appreciate the push notifications about upcoming events. I've attended 3 mesh coffee events so far and really enjoyed the conversations, so I conclude that the algorithm must be pretty sophisticated to match people up with similar interests and conversation topics. Overall a great way to get out of the house and meet new and interesting people in the area.

General vibes
I would have given it a five stars if there weren’t so many flakey people that join this app. Fortunately most of the people are pretty chill but also definitely join the hosted Mesh nights because you get freebies 😊
Refreshing
A refreshing way to meet new people and enjoy conversation and connection - difficult to do in a fragmented world. The owners are committed to ensuring a positive experience.
Fun!
I think many can relate to moving somewhere you have no friends and having difficulty meeting people. This app allowed me to fill the need to socialize and meet a diverse group of people at various events. I found everyone super welcoming, considerate, and helpful with asking everyone questions to feel included. It feels very easy because everyone is there for the same reason and is open to meeting new people.
I like that it’s with a group of people instead of one-on-one. There’s weekend coffee events, Thursday evening events, and other events so you can go to what suits you.

My favorite friend-making app
I went through a rough breakup after an 8-year relationship and really needed friends. It was a really hard time for me. I tried different friend-making apps like TimeLeft and RealRoots but while they were nice, I didn’t make lasting friends like I did with Mesh. The people I’ve met have been very friendly and welcoming. It’s all I’ve ever wanted and exactly what I was looking for. Definitely recommend anyone to give it a shot. It literally saved my social life 😅

Love this App
Been using Mesh for just over a year and I have gotten so much out of it. Love the support of local coffee shops and I’ve met some amazing people. Mesh helped me branch out and meet people who I otherwise would not have crossed paths with. It’s been such a net positive in my life and they are always quick to help with any questions or feedback I have.

I just love this concept
Because making connections as an adult doesn’t have to be complicated or at night at a bar.
I look forward to Saturdays now more than before because of this app! At first I thought it was gonna be scary or awkward but it is so much fun and mentally stimulating to go to a cafe with 3 other random strangers, the best part is when other groups are around and we all click and make and even bigger group!
It is very safe, personally haven’t had an issue with anyone if anything I’ve made good friends and the coffee shops are local with a variety of drinks and food!

Great way to meet people
App sets you up with a group of people in a common place. I’ve made a lot for friends this way and Mesh is a permanent part of my Saturdays now
Never too old for new friends
I thought my window of making great new friends had closed. Everyone my age feels so locked into their routine. I have made some wonderful new friends through Mesh, and every event brings - at the very least - a fun conversation where I get to meet people outside my circle and learn a little more about other corners of the world around me. It has completely changed my outlook on socialization. Absolutely love this app and the thoughtful, responsive guys who run it!

Good job guys!
Since most of my friends moved out of town after graduating, Mesh has been a great way to meet people and make some new friends!
Quality app
The app allows you to branch out and discover a new local business while meeting new people. Definitely worth a try. Not every meet up is as fun as you might hope, but after 3-5 you will definitely have met some people who have similar interests and good starting place to meet new people when you are new to the area.

Highlight of my week
I’ve been doing Mesh almost every week for 6 months and it has consistently been something I look forward to. I work from home so I really enjoy meeting new people each week while also growing friendships with people I value. I appreciate that most people who sign up for mesh are interested in and up for meaningful conversations.

Amazing way to meet new people
I absolutely love mesh! It is such a great way to meet new people with similar interests. It takes the pressure off making new friends. I highly recommend Mesh. The owners of mesh are also amazing people.
Great Way To Meet People
This is a wonderful app to use to meet new people. It’s also a great way to learn about local coffee shops.
Always money
Another thing to pay for, not interested in helping
Try it.
I live in the Madison area, which I learned today at my first Mesh, is where this app originated. I moved here a few months ago and I work from home, and as I’m well into middle age and single, meeting new people is really difficult. Admittedly it took me a long time to try it, but I’m really glad I did. It IS organized, and people DID show up, it felt completely safe, and I had a nice chat over coffee with lovely new folks. I guess people go regularly and you start to see people again and again in different meets, which signals to me that in the long run, this is trying to build a community. I also feel like the pricing is reasonable - I’m investing in connectivity with other people IRL, and ultimately my own mental health. When I think about all the other things we spend money on, when I put it in that perspective, it’s worth it. I’m excited to go again.

Love the concept
This app is a great opportunity to meet people in the area, especially as someone who just moved cities! My only complaint is that you get only one free pass to join a coffee meetup. The first group I joined was a flop, so when I saw that I have to pay/get a membership to join a second meetup, it discouraged me from continuing. I think there should be more free passes starting out for a person to get a good feel if they want to continue using the app.

Mesh is Great!
Mesh is amazing for making real in-person connections. Co-founder Michael texted me personally, and later met our group in person at a meet-up to solicit advice and suggestions. Thanks, Michael!

Love it but referral doesn’t work as it should
I’ve referred over 5 people with my link but the referral does not pop up for the 5th person. Also, the pricing is inaccurate. It says $6.99 for one event but the $14.99 when I try to purchase. $15 for one event seems very expensive.
