### 5/5 — My New Social Network!

*2025-05-02, version 1.29.0*

My FB network is 20yrs old. My friends today are Extremely different today vs then. So I’m Happy staying irl connected with my current social network.

### 5/5 — sliding doors

*2025-04-07*

I was travelling for work and expected to spend the week alone but the app told me a good friend (who I haven’t seen in over a year) was also in the same exact city, so we had a reunion! Thank you for the sliding doors moment Mozi, that was so cool!

**Developer response:** Exactly this! the more (reunions) the merrier! If you have any shareable memories, please tag us @getmozi on any socials as we'd love to show our team & our community too

### 5/5 — A must have!

*2025-03-12, version 1.24.0*

Mozi has been incredible to connect with friends and other professionals who are traveling for work, fun, etc. 

The interface and app is amazing.

### 4/5 — Email login coming?

*2025-03-08, version 1.24.0*

Waiting/hoping for an email login.  Don’t use my apple sign in for logins.

### 5/5 — Most Beautiful & Useful App Ever

*2025-02-27*

Mozi is one of the few apps on my phone that’s both stunning and truly useful. I use it every other day.

Instead of adding new contacts directly to my iPhone, I save them on Mozi first—it saves them automatically in my iPhone contact list AND captures details my phone’s contact list doesn’t, like the date of when I first met someone. It also organizes contacts by location, making it easy to see who’s nearby when I’m planning a brunch or visiting a city. And as a frequent traveler, I love that it shows me where my friends will be, so we never miss a chance to connect.

Brilliantly designed and incredibly practical—highly recommend!

**Developer response:** We love our super fans Miriam! We are so grateful for reviews like this – we (the product and team) feel so seen 🧡 Let us know how we can keep improving your experience and how to help get more of your friends on using with you :)

### 5/5 — Awesome place to stay connected with friends

*2025-02-06*

Literally have been able to meet up with 2 different friends / old colleagues because of Mozi who I otherwise would not have known we were going to be in the same place at the same time. Really great!

**Developer response:** Feel free to share any #mozimoments you may have by sending us an email community@mozi.app or tagging us on social @getmozi so we can share in your joy! We built it so that we all get more of these exact moments together!

### 5/5 — Loving the app but i want a map of where my friends are please!

*2025-01-25*

Just want some more integrations. Visual is so much better and imagine being able to see where everyone is by city now n in future? I use FmF but i dont want to share that kind of info with all the ppl i would on Mozi. also calendar sync please, i already have 4+ calendars for work n life; can Mozi take from them to make my trips? otherwise UX is beautiful and i love seeing my friend's plans.

**Developer response:** Are you listening in to our product sessions 😊 we are thinking the same way as you Judith! And these are suggested already in our community forum so if you want to upvote them, then they hit our roadmap faster :) https://mozi.canny.io/suggestions. Thanks for your review!

### 5/5 — pandemic spread all my friends out

*2025-01-19*

Mozi makes it so easy to share my plans without the awkward back-and-forth texting all my friends. During covid all my friends moved away and getting them all in the same room isn't easy, let alone the same city. I've met up with 3 of them in random places i only knew about thru Mozi!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-01-19, version 1.18.0*

It’s perfect for friends overlap and to help with my planning.

### 5/5 — Mozi makes connection easy

*2025-01-17*

Amazing app to connect with the ppl you love all in one place, no more regret over missed opportunities to meet up
The interface is very friendly and easy to use
Side note, as someone who loves to customize, I really like the option of adding all your pets :) 
Also, the community outreach has been fantastic, love the head of community she really shines

**Developer response:** 🫶🏼✨

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2025-01-16, version 1.17.3*

This app is absolutely amazing and helpful! So useful! Thank you guys!

### 5/5 — Where has this app been?

*2025-01-16, version 1.17.3*

It's such a simple concept but so needed. Has allowed for so much serendipity on my travels with just the syncing of schedule factor alone! Love it.

### 5/5 — The app is LIFECHANGING

*2025-01-16, version 1.17.3*

Already connected with many friends on holidays that I wouldnt have known were around if not for Mozi!

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2025-01-15*

Friends are great! I’ve really enjoyed Mozi over these last few months. The ability to meet with someone I might have missed has been such a nice experience. The app is simple and I appreciate that it’s NOT another social media app. It feels more intimate. Feels more private. I appreciate that too. I highly recommend.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — A dud with no users

*2025-05-09, version 1.30.1*

I am the ideal customer, a Bay Area tech person with thousands of contacts from multiple decades here, and literally only one person on the app after six months.

If you're not going to use a social network to boot strap this, which I respect, you have to find some other way to build a graph. I'd be embarrassed to invite people to a social network with no users without some other reason, and I'm not just gonna send it to thousands of people I know to see who thinks it would be cool.

### 1/5 — Forced updates

*2025-05-08, version 1.30.0*

The app is for traveling and locations. However it requires downloading an update before opening the app, which is a horrible practice if you are roaming or on a limited data plan, and it’s just lazy engineering.

### 1/5 — One of those apps nobody really asked for

*2025-04-17, version 1.27.0*

The whole app feels like a boomer trying to make a cool social network service in 2025. And what is up with the stale design? It looks like a retirement home app.

### 1/5 — Sign in with Apple only option

*2025-03-06, version 1.22.0*

Not using my Apple ID to sign in.  I want to use my own private email adress to sign in

### 1/5 — Disappointed.

*2025-01-21, version 1.18.1*

I ended up here because of playboy (big fan). Super pumped to try this new hookup app after seeing it on insta. they ask for relationship status, location, pet names (kinky 😏)… super lame when I found out it was a travel app. And before you respond saying it’s getting more granular (whats that mean?) and local, I just need to know if im gonna get some ladies soon…

### 1/5 — So out of touch and unnecessary

*2024-12-23*

I find this app to be out of touch. So many Americans live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to afford groceries. Many are lucky if they can take even 1 vacation a year! But good thing there’s now an app for spoiled jet-setting nepo babies to share their travel plans and meet up with friends while they pollute our planet with CO2 emissions. For the majority of people, the whole concept of this app can be accomplished with a simple group text.

**Developer response:** We hear you Ruben3DPrinted, and appreciate your perspective. Currently, the smallest unit of time in Mozi is one day, and smallest unit of location is a city, but if you stick with us, we are headed more granular, on both dimensions. This will allow you to enter (and discover) everyday social plans, like going to a concert/sporting event, headed to the park/beach. We're building Mozi to make it easier to know where your people are and where they're going, so you can see each other more, IRL. If you have more thoughts that will help us get there, feel free to reach out directly, anytime (community@mozi.app).

### 1/5 — Sign in with Apple is way too restrictive

*2024-12-13, version 1.14.0*

I would like to try Mozi but only having a "Sign in with Apple" makes it a no go for me at the moment. I am expecting other types of "sign in" like with an email, a phone number (should support SIP numbers) or a Google or Meta account as examples.

### 2/5 — Promotes privacy as an oasis, doesn’t work without sending all your contacts

*2025-03-08*

App has great premise (early 2000s were full of these), but its promotion of being a private place is false. You can ONLY add people by sharing your entire contacts list with them. 

Why is this important? Mozi is not really ever going to be a full Product, it’s really a feature (where are my friends?). That means someone will buy this for the user base and then bolt it onto their revenue-generating product.

**Developer response:** Hey Nic1991_, 
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope it’s reassuring to know that our team takes user privacy and data encryption incredibly seriously—so much so that, in some ways, it’s slowed us down from doing things other social networks might optimize for. All the contacts you share with us are encrypted (we use hashing), and we only connect you with people who mutually have each other saved in their phone books. We’ve heard this makes for a really delightful experience.

That said, we’re actively working on improving the experience for folks who choose not to share contacts—finding ways for them to still get the most out of Mozi. More to come soon. Thanks again for being here!

### 2/5 — Buggy interface makes the app unusable

*2024-12-14*

I wouldn’t be writing this review if I didn’t think it was an amazing concept. I really need this app and I want to share it will everyone I know. Came here from Mark Andreesen’s X. But on the home page, when I press the plus button, it goes gray and nothing happens. Persists even with app relaunch. So the app is completely unusable. Also, please develop compatibility with smaller iPhones (I have an SE).

### 2/5 — Not Sure Why

*2024-12-14*

Pretty design but trying to understand why someone would use this? Particularly w a 24 character limit in the ‘what are you going to be doing’ intake field. I then will then find myself (group) texting/FT etc individual(s) to provide an actual itinerary? Also, couldn’t see who our location data is being sold to..which is how I would guess the app generates revenue. I’m indifferent to Mozi being closed to iOS as someone that has phones/devices for both major platforms

**Developer response:** Hey Kevinfmll, helpful feedback! We don't sell any user data, nor do we plan to. You can read more about our stances on privacy & monetization at www.mozi.app. Re: Plans on Mozi, if you stick with us, we are headed more granular and local to allow you to enter (and discover) everyday social plans, like going to a concert/sporting event, headed to the park/beach. As Plans on Mozi evolve, so too will character count, rest assured :slightly_smiling_face: Appreciate you trying us out, don't hesitate to email us (community@mozi.app) if you have any other thoughts that will help us help you see your people more, IRL.

### 5/5 — Great way to share experiences with friends

*2026-03-30*

Amazing app! So fun to share and document private get togethers with friends, as well connect with friends while traveling!!

I’m generally a private person and don’t like broadcasting things on most social media platforms. This is much better because I get to only connect with people that were a part of the moment.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much — this is exactly what Mozi is built for! Happy to have you here. 🧡

### 5/5 — Occasionally Useful. Too slow.

*2025-11-24, version 1.47.0*

It fight really solve any problems well enough to use it regularly.

### 5/5 — The SOCIAL APP to SOCIAL

*2025-09-28, version 1.41.0*

As perfect as can be, in these times.(!).

### 5/5 — Lots of potential, limited users.

*2025-09-02*

I've been using this app for a few months now, and I'm sad to say that not enough of my friends have joined. I'm going to give it a couple of more months, but if they really can't recruit enough people to start using it, then it's pretty much useless.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sticking with Mozi and the honest feedback. We totally understand the frustration when your friends haven't joined yet - it's crucial for the full experience.

We're actively working on making it easier to bring friends onboard and adding value while you wait for them. Your patience means a lot.

We'd love your input on what would help get your friends to join. Email us at community@mozi.app or share/upvote suggestions at https://mozi.canny.io/suggestions

Thanks for the 5-star rating despite the current limitations. We're committed to making Mozi worth your time.

### 5/5 — Genius App Execution!

*2025-07-01, version 1.37.0*

I love what this app does for our web of friends.. I’ll surely recommend it to my whole community!!

### 5/5 — Best way to connect with people IRL!

*2025-06-13*

I never announce online where I’m traveling to because I love my privacy… but I also love meeting up with friends. This app helps me connect without having to share where I am all the time.

**Developer response:** We are super happy to hear this! This is exactly what we're going for – connecting you with your people without sacrificing your privacy, or theirs.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-06-13*

For years, I've been hoping for an app to come along that makes in person connections with your friends (and new ones) seamless. Mozi is that app. Now I will never miss a friend who is planning to be in the same city or event as me.

**Developer response:** There's nothing worse than finding out after the fact that a friend was in your city! So happy we can help you catch all those overlaps now.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-06-09, version 1.34.1*

Very helpful for coordinating with friends. Highly recommend ….

### 5/5 — Great way to stay in touch with friends

*2025-05-06, version 1.29.0*

Really useful to give a quick overview of my plans even when my friends aren’t yet using Mozi yet.

### 5/5 — Thank you for building this!

*2025-05-06, version 1.29.0*

It’s a really great app I am enjoying it!!!
