I’ve tried deleting it and installing it again and no luck. ### 3/5 — Nope *2024-12-10, version 3.0.1* App no longer works. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2024-11-07, version 3.0.1* I love the idea but it’s often so glitchy I can’t use it ### 2/5 — Cool idea, terrible execution *2023-10-17, version 2.4.11* When the app works, it works. Sadly this app is fraught w issues: took weeks to function properly, worked for several months and is back to malfunctioning. ### 2/5 — Not working *2023-08-15, version 2.4.8* Been trying to sign up for over 2 weeks now and still unable to do so. First the sign up screen would roll endlessly, now it’s having an input error with DOB and won’t let me past the info page. ### 3/5 — Good idea *2023-08-02* The app is a good idea, but there are already local Facebook groups for all of these activities. There is no draw to the app other than the gear supplier discounts (idk if this is even offered anymore); nobody seems to use the app after they’ve made a profile. I deleted because it’s constantly crashing or prompting 503 errors etc. I get the devs need money to make improvements, but this app just sort of seems like a solution to a made up problem. **Developer response:** Hi Dylan, Thanks for the feedback. Would you please verify if it's working for you now? If it is, would you mind updating your review? You can always message us with any issues you may find. If you like Pastimes, your review really makes a difference and we'd love to make sure you're happy with the project. ### 2/5 — Buyer beware *2023-07-24, version 2.4.6* App doesn’t seem to want to work after they took my money for a subscription. ### 1/5 — full of glitches won’t let me join friends or groups *2022-11-11, version 2.3.10* keeps giving me errors whenever i try to join groups it won’t let me. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t let me sign up *2022-10-19, version 2.3.9* I can’t sign up for the app. There isn’t a way to connect support. Really bummed wanted to try this app ### 1/5 — Seems to be a massive influx on bots lately *2022-07-21, version 2.3.5* All of the sudden lots of bots trying to friend me. Developer may want to look into this. Ruining the app. ### 2/5 — Can’t see messages *2022-07-06, version 2.3.4* Shows I have 2 messages but I can’t tread them. Message box is blank. ### 2/5 — Unable to create availability function *2022-05-15, version 2.3.1* The Post button doesn’t do anything. Please fix this! Also is there a place where we can bring up quality issues that doesn’t require writing a review? ### 1/5 — Won’t allow me to make an account *2022-04-25, version 2.3* I can’t even input my information to make an account. Gives me an error code when I input my birth date and won’t let me continue. Not even usable for people just now trying to create an account. ### 2/5 — Great idea, too many bugs rn *2022-04-25, version 2.3* Bugs galore when attempting to set availability or create an event. Would have loved to try making it work, but cursor glitches, location services unavailable, outright inability to post anything, and plenty more minor things made me give up. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Error messages *2025-05-10, version 3.0.1* I used this in 2021 and had a good experience. Trying to log in/sign up again and keep getting error messages. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2024-09-17, version 3.0.1* App hasn’t worked for a bit. I’m assuming this app is no longer maintained. ### 1/5 — This app no longer seems to work *2024-09-12, version 3.0.1* Does not work?? ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2024-08-01, version 3.0.1* Has Pastimes shut down? Login always gives me “A server with the specified hostname could not be found.” Too bad. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-06-10, version 3.0.1* App just crashes because it can’t find the server. Please fix it ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-03-17, version 3.0.1* Great idea but the location selection on the app no longer works. ### 1/5 — This doesn’t work at all possibly abandoned app *2024-02-21, version 3.0.1* I downloaded it in hopes to find more people to ride with but there’s no way to set a location therefore no events or people near me i live in the sf bay so you would think there would be users here. The app is completely unusable right now ### 1/5 — Sign-up screen just spins endlessly *2023-07-25, version 2.4.6* Tried to sign up for an account. After entering the required info, nothing happened. The sign-up screen just spun endlessly. Hope this gets resolved. Would love to try out this app. ### 1/5 — App hung up on account creation page *2023-02-06, version 2.4.2* I’ve tried to create an account multiple times with zero success. After I input my phone number and password and then touch sign up the app gets stuck on the loading phase so I can’t even use the app. Really a bummer as I’ve been looking for something like this forever and you guys seem to be the only one that has an app like this. ### 1/5 — Piece of junk *2022-11-11, version 2.3.10* Signed up, set up a profile. Now I can’t get back in, even to try to change password. Says my number isn’t connected to an account, even though I had to enter to code they texted to that number. All I want to do now is delete, which I can’t even get into do. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Facebook events without the Facebook *2022-09-27* This has taken so much of the stress out of finding friends in a new area. The group chats could be streamlined a bit more, but all in all, it’s an amazing app to go do stuff with groups of similar interests! ### 5/5 — Thumbs up *2022-09-13, version 2.3.8* Gone are the days of lonely rides. 3 years in Utah and pastimes has finally helped me to find some real friends. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2022-08-28, version 2.3.5* This is the best way that I have found to meet up with people with similar interests and similar levels ### 5/5 — A Pastimes Adventure is Priceless *2022-08-16, version 2.3.5* Connect with your community and like-minded souls.

The friendships you’ll make will be priceless. ### 5/5 — Great app but no one seems to be active. *2022-06-27, version 2.3.4* I love the idea and set up of the app but sadly it seems like the people on it never use it. ### 5/5 — Community *2022-05-01* Went on multiple trips/adventures with people from past times! If you’re looking to meet people and get outside there is no better way! Have met and made so many friends through this app!
