I’ve noticed on other social media people are always looking to find friends but the apps don’t really have features specifically for that, so people try to find friends in the comments. This app is specifically FOR finding friends so everyone has the same goal, and I’ve already talked to some really interesting people from across the country. I know it’s still new and has some issues, but I think it’s an amazing concept and the tech stuff will be figured out as it grows. **Developer response:** We're so glad you're enjoying the app! If you have any issues or suggestions with the "tech stuff", just send a dm to our instagram (@popsocial_app) ### 5/5 — Perfect app for college, even during the pandemic! *2020-11-25, version 2.0.65* Wow! Pop honestly is an app I wish I found sooner, or had available to me freshman year. The anonymous profiles make every match feel more genuine and less fake — I don’t feel like I have to keep up this online persona to impress the other person. The ui/ux is also so cute and inviting, it’s still a new platform so I’m not saying everything is perfect, but I can’t see myself deleting the app anytime soon. I miss physical campus and this app really is such a great way to make more friends ☺️ **Developer response:** It's never too late to meet new people - we're happy to have you no matter what year you're in! Thanks for your support :) ### 5/5 — Great app for meeting people *2020-11-25, version 2.0.65* I went on a matching spree one day, and all of a sudden I had 8 conversations with new people. I’ve learned so many cool things from a ton of people, I couldn’t have survived quarantine without Pop. I also love how you can find people through filters, and the way you can unlock names. **Developer response:** Look who's popular! We're so happy we can help you make new friends. ### 5/5 — Exciting *2020-11-25, version 2.0.65* I love that I could meet people from different universities! It’s interesting to talk to people from different backgrounds ### 5/5 — I love it!! *2020-11-25, version 2.0.65* I’ve enjoyed getting to meet different people on this app and talking about weird things we’re into lol. I’m so excited to meet more people :)) ### 5/5 — Great way to meet people! *2020-11-24, version 2.0.65* What a great way to make new friends! The app focuses on who you are as an individual rather than superficial traits. I get to have a lot of deep conversations and make friends I would not have met otherwise! **Developer response:** We appreciate your support! ### 5/5 — Revolutionary !! *2020-11-24, version 2.0.65* Pop is the only platform I know that lets you connect with people over interests without letting your biases - looks, gender, etc - get in the way and affect who you befriend. It’s so cool and I’m very excited to see who I end up meeting here !! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback - we hope you meet lots of cool people! ### 5/5 — Really awesome concept!!! *2020-11-22, version 2.0.65* I love that the profiles are based on interests rather than pictures, other apps always feel so ingenuine. The ui/ux is a little glitchy, but still very cute! Overall I think this app is really really cool :) **Developer response:** Thanks for your support! ### 5/5 — LOVE this app! *2020-11-20, version 2.0.65* This app is super fun and is very unique compared to other messaging apps. As a first-year college student I didn’t know many people but through Pop I’ve already made a bunch of new friends! It’s so easy to find people with similar interests and start a conversation, so I totally recommend this app to anyone who likes to meet other people who share the same interests and hobbies! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad you were able to start off your first year of college with lots of new friends :) ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP! *2020-11-20, version 2.0.65* This app has been a god send for me as a freshman during COVID!! I was so stressed about going into my first year—worried about making friends and missing out on the college experience—and this app has helped so much. I’ve met so many cool people and this best part is that it matches you purely on interests. It takes all the superficial parts out. If you’re trying to make new friends in college but don’t know how, I definitely recommend Pop! **Developer response:** Starting your freshman year can be terrifying, even without the pandemic. We're so glad we were able to help you connect to campus! ### 5/5 — Unique Way of Making Friends *2020-11-17, version 2.0.65* If you are a college student looking to make new friends especially during this pandemic, this app is a MUST-HAVE! I was a transfer student and went from knowing almost nobody at my school this summer to making tons of new friends of several different majors and backgrounds. The best part about this app is that it puts your personality and interests first over photos. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We're glad to hear that your transfer went smoothly :) ### 5/5 — Pretty fun *2020-11-17, version 2.0.65* Having been in an 8 month long quarantine, Pop has definitely filled some of the holes in my social life, and I’ve some great connections while being off campus for the semester! **Developer response:** Yes, feeling connected to campus can be so hard right now. We're happy to have kept you company during quarantine! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No option to delete account *2022-03-13, version 3.1.0* So I just downloaded this app, but unfortunately there isn’t anyone else using this app near me. I couldn’t figure out how to find new people, so I want to delete my account but there doesn’t seem to be an option to? This is ridiculous. This app does seem interesting from the looks of it, but I am frustrated at the fact that I am simply not allowed to delete my account. ### 1/5 — Cant get past onboarding *2022-02-10, version 2.4.0* I cant use the app because it throws an internal server error when I set a codename ### 1/5 — Just no *2022-01-28, version 2.3.11* I can’t even get past the codename and it took forever to even send me the email. ### 1/5 — bug *2020-02-28, version 1.02* i like it but everytime i try to delete one of my interests the app shuts down!! ### 2/5 — Account *2022-08-26, version 3.3.2* This app won’t let me make an account. It just loads the whole time. ### 3/5 — SOS *2021-09-16, version 2.3.2* Heard some good things about this app but the code name page keeps saying loading options… How can this be fixed? ### 3/5 — Nice, but I would rate it 3.5/5 *2021-01-16, version 2.0.68* I really like the app and some of the ideas behind it like the anonymous names and all. However, I think that there are a lot of glitches and small issues that need fixing. The glitches and such affect the overall efficiency of the app. For example, when I am sent a request and I reply to the request, it doesn’t show up on the chat and I have to send the message again for them to receive it. Also with the feature to “meet up” when you send enough texts, there should be more initiative and clearness to that. Like maybe add a “scheduler” type of feature where the people can schedule a meet up or smthg (i mean maybe not during the pandemic but...) And just sometimes the buttons won’t work or the sign in page will glitch and etc etc. There’s some other glitches but basically I would say just fix the bugs, add more interesting features that make people want to keep using it, and it’s a pretty solid app. This is just my honest opinion lol. **Developer response:** Your honest opinion matters! Thank you so much for your suggestions, we will take these into account as we continue to improve the app. If you have any more problems or suggestions, please feel free to dm us on Instagram (@popsocial_app) We'll be happy to listen :) ### 4/5 — Enormous Potential *2020-11-29, version 2.0.66* I loved the basic idea behind Pop: connect with people based on how they behave, not what they look like. I think the concept not only does a great job of promoting inclusivity, but also has the potential to be an essential app on any college student’s phone. It has also made befriending other people in my university easy, and has been a useful tool particularly for connecting with people in the middle of the pandemic. I think with a few minor changes to the interface, such as options for custom username selection, Pop would really explode on the social networking scene. Nevertheless, using the app is highly worth it, you won’t be disappointed! ### 5/5 — Used it during SXSW at Austin *2022-03-26, version 3.1.1* I used it and have joined couple of events through the app. It was good for meeting new people and find whats happening. ### 5/5 — So needed *2021-10-02, version 2.3.6* Its a great app and great concept. They just rolled out PopIns and its so good. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great way to hangout instantly *2021-09-09, version 2.2.8* I was able to grab boba with other students on campus right after class because I was bored. It’s pretty convenient to use and worth the try when you have some down time. ### 5/5 — Amazing App to Meet Friends *2021-09-08, version 2.2.8* This is such a great way to meet friends on campus! I love the bubble animations and the prompts are thought provoking. Thank you, Pop! ### 5/5 — Stress-free, fun, and lots of potential *2021-08-21, version 2.2.6* Have been using this app for 5 months now and my experience has only gotten better with each update! I love the card 🃏 carousel experience and sometimes just like swiping forever on the carousel just to look at the cards. Being able to match with new strangers nationally is great, and I like that my identity is mostly anonymous, so that it isn’t just like any of the other dating and matching apps. I can definitely feel how this app delivers an experience tailored to college students! The chat 💬 experience is also constantly improving and I am loving all the new features and added stability. I appreciate how the chat UI integrates so well with the rest of the app, and also does some features, like reacting to messages, in a unique manner—almost like a Discord-Messenger crossover. The 1:1 chat “switching” mechanism is really interesting, but I hope it is more configurable (e.g., how many switches, what information to reveal, etc.) Maybe some sort of a “profile visibility” section could work. This app has great potential! I only wish there were some built-in mechanism to encourage users in general to chat more and keep the conversation going meaningfully—maybe via conversation topic “prompts”, similar to Gatheround.com. Or, encourage users to meet up in person to foster a stronger bond—maybe by giving a coupon to use at a local diner’s or something! Looking forward to the new live meet-ups feature coming soon!!! 🤩 ### 5/5 — A great way to meet college students *2021-06-15, version 2.1.12* Pretty unique app and I like that it enables students to be anonymous. There’s room for improvement but I’ve gotten the chance to talk to several new people already. I even grabbed boba with a user I met on Pop! ### 5/5 — Haven’t used it much but fun so far! *2021-05-09, version 2.1.12* Just downloaded the app and haven’t used it all that much but I really am enjoying it so far! The idea is really cute and I love the quiz aspect ### 5/5 — Pretty cool *2021-01-24, version 2.0.68* I kinda love it. There are a few bugs but it's not too bad. After those have been worked out, I can see this being a "pop"ular app😏.. I'll see myself out😔 ### 5/5 — Fun way to connect during COVID times *2020-12-31, version 2.0.67* It’s difficult meeting new people during 2020 lock down! New, fun, and safe way to meet peers :) ### 5/5 — Simply a unique app that every college student can benefit from! *2020-12-09, version 2.0.67* I love the concept of the app. I have never heard of a concept like this and I’m so glad a bunch of students made it a reality. Regarding the app, it works great! **Developer response:** Thanks for your support!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
