No options for lesbian meetups.

The app offers “men” “sapphic” and “mixed”. Where is the option for women who only want to meet other women? Why are nonbinary people not included in gay men’s meetups? Poor attempt at inclusivity that makes it seem like this is an app for gay men and bisexual people only

It’s stuck!

Signed up earlier today and the event I rsvp’d tp wasn’t available in any neighborhood. Then a screen came up regarding cookies and the app froze. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling same issue. I love the idea of your site but too many bugs! Also please add Corning or Elmira NY to your list of cities.

Stuck on cookies page

Really wanted this to be legit. The sapphic community would do so well with a Time Left version just for us — we desperately need it actually. So sad it looks like maybe it was just vibe coded and released early / sloppily.

waste of money

quality of guys are bad , and one guy keep talking in the dinner , ruined the whole experience

User beware! FAKE!

Great it idea. Too bad the experience is all fake. First. The app looks like it was vibe coded with AI so it’s has zero personality and looks corporate af. Second. I paid $15 for them to schedule a brunch. They said I’d have restaurant and group chat available 24hrs before the event. It’s 6 hrs and I have no details. There is no customer service to deal with your problem. DO NOT download this app. I’m convinced it’s a scam.

Not for me…

Four people did not show up out of 7. Was kinda awkward. Food was good. Atmosphere was nice but very expensive. To do this 4 times in a month is like another car payment. If this is how it’s run, I do not recommend.

Scam

They should tell you before providing personal information that it’s $20 a month. You spend 10 minutes filling out a questionnaire and provide your phone number before they tell you it costs $20. This is a total scam, I better not get a single spam text from them.

This is only suited for the “exclusive gays.”

I downloaded this in the hopes of meeting other people, open minded to a diverse collection of my peers, but they only seem to be focused on the North Halsted/Boystown area of Chicago. I guess gays/restaurants that aren’t in that area of Chicago don’t matter.

Great way to meet new people!

I have not met many people since moving to NYC about 4 years ago, but now I can meet 8 new people a week by going to two meals a week with Outclose. It is so easy, just fill out a survey, book your dinner and Outclose finds the people and the venue. You just show up and connect! I love this app and see myself using it indefinitely! It is a healthy way to meet people outside of going to the bars. You can find real people, real conversation, in nice places with great food. You have many chances to network, meet new friends or even possibly that next special person in your life. The opportunities are endless. My group saw another group of young guys that were having dinner that all met through Outclose. They all looked like they were having a great time as well. My only wish about Outclose is that I wish I had it or something like it in my early twenties. It would have been a great option for me, back then other than trying to meet people at the bar. Thank you Outclose for my first great dinner through the app and for many more dinners and brunches and connections in the future!!😊

Matched me with the wrong age group

Matched me with people 10+ years older than me and I was the only one. Had to leave asap, wasted my money and time.

App sells your data immediately

This app asked me for my number and political affiliation and I immediately started getting politically targeted campaign texts. Also you have to pay a subscription before you can even use the app and that’s only after they already collected all your data.

They should be upfront about the charges

I was asked tens of questions to create my profile and provided a whole lot of data, only for at the very last step before booking a dinner to be told I had to pay almost $30? Are you for real?
