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.

Response from developer

I’m so glad that you’ve enjoyed mesh :) I love using mesh to just get outside my normal routines and meeting people! I wish people showed up more for the free events. We do regroup you if different people don’t show up to make that as smooth as possible. Thanks for leaving a kind review :) have a fantastic day!

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.

Ahh we are so grateful for such a kind review! We love matching people and conencting them at local coffee shops :) We think life is just more fun in person! We hope to keep on seeing you out there and meeting new people! I hope you have a fantastic day : )

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.
