## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No groups in my entire state

*2024-08-19*

Sounded interesting but there is a very short list of cities despite having groups in multiple countries. Search feature didn’t find a single city in Oklahoma.

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry to hear! We haven't rolled out to every city yet. You can request a city directly within the app and we will work to bring it there as soon as possible. Lots of requests to get through!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-10-15*

I recently moved to a new location and this app has been an amazing tool in my transition. I have been able to make new friends with common interests, find used furniture at reasonable costs, and get updates on different events occurring throughout this city. This app is a must download for anyone who wants to be in the loop about everything with minimal effort.

**Developer response:** So happy you like it! We're working on getting new features out as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

### 5/5 — So simple and so creative

*2024-09-08*

This app is actually so simple and so useful. Has everything and I can’t wait to use it when I travel!

### 5/5 — Cool app, interesting concept

*2024-09-02*

App works well and I’ve met some really friendly people that are interested in similar hobbies

### 5/5 — Great Funnel

*2024-07-22*

This app is great to funnel people into the same group chats. Love being in these kind of group chats, but hate having them on my WhatsApp. 

Also way better to have an immediate connection with people in my city via messaging, as opposed to FB groups where there’s an algorithm and low activity. 

Really cool app. Excited to watch it grow and for strangers to interact some more!

### 5/5 — Not sure why everyone isn’t using Places

*2024-07-17*

I have to admit at first, I was skeptical, about a third party app, and its assistance in helping me find a sublease. Not only was I easily able to answer the correct group and specific city. I am looking for, but was also exposed to a lot of different other necessities, that will come my way in the coming months or year. huge fan of this app and recommend it to everybody.

**Developer response:** So happy to hear that! Thanks for the support!

### 5/5 — Really cool idea

*2024-07-07*

Really cool app idea! I can see this going places!

**Developer response:** Pun intended?? Thanks, Samuel!

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-07-01*

This app is amazing functionality, and all

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive feedback!
