My main issue is that it’s a bit clunky to try and discover new groups - you can try to manually search using keywords or look at a list of about 10 recommended groups, but nothing else. I’d love to see a more advanced search feature or the ability to dismiss a group being recommended to you so it’s replaced with a different recommended group. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-02-02, version 1.23.0* Fun app to connect and talk to people, with chats on just about everything! It seems new so not a huge amount of traffic so far but the app works seamlessly none of the usual growing pains and glitches you would normal see. Wonderful app! ### 4/5 — Amazing so far *2023-02-01, version 1.23.0* I think it’s amazing, only downside is that its completely platonic which is nice but sometimes people want friends and partners, it’d be cool if a dating section or something was added so anyone can find everything they need in one app. Not everyone likes dating apps which is why it should be a social one for friends, partners, best friends, etc But I have yet to find a real problem within the app, I highly recommend joining plus there isn’t many bots at least none I’ve encountered so yay! ### 5/5 — Thankyou *2023-01-29, version 1.23.0* I appreciate the unbelievably large amount of gay content from gaming camping or cooking and comics and everything in between so far Gold and Diamonds everywhere. Thankyou. ### 5/5 — Supportive trans community *2023-01-24, version 1.23.0* I love this app. I joined the trans space in particular and made lots of friends who understand me and relate to things I’m going through! ### 5/5 — Great *2023-01-23, version 1.22.0* Love this app u can really relate with one another an have good conversations without judgement against one another ### 5/5 — Great spade to chat with others that Share the same lifestyle as I do *2023-01-18, version 1.23.0* Words can’t describe but this is a great app. Great way to communicate with other around the states and such. Super cool ### 5/5 — It’s Queer & the folx are genuine! *2023-01-12, version 1.22.0* It’s so nice to find an app that is both open & friendly. I’m still checking out all of the ‘spaces’, but it’s been very positive so far! ### 5/5 — Great place to connect *2023-01-09, version 1.22.0* It’s still new so I’m still figuring it all out but so far it’s a wonderful place to connect with likeminded people and chat. ### 5/5 — Love, love, love *2023-01-07, version 1.22.0* I love this app. It has helped me connect with so many other lgbt people. It's been nice to chat with people who read the same books I do. It's fantastic! ### 5/5 — Wow great gay and queer app! *2023-01-03, version 1.22.0* Really different. Lots of topics and real time group chat. So fun to connect with people who actually have the same interests. Gay Burning Man, queer RV dads, camping, swimming etc, even foodies in Los Angeles. Definitely a breath of fresh air compared to other conversations online. ### 5/5 — Love the vibes and energies here *2023-01-03, version 1.22.0* Not once have I met rude person on this app and I’ve had it for months. I really like the diversity and inclusiveness this app brings and the fact that you can find any space, for anyone of any topic is amazing. I’m not much into social media but Spaces is perfect for me so if you’re looking for some online friends or something new, this app is by far it ### 5/5 — Loving this app *2023-01-02, version 1.22.0* I just downloaded this app and so far I’m loving it. I think it will bring me great joy for a long time to come. This app is needed and appreciated ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is not worthy of anyone *2023-04-25* They judged me because I was bisexual. Then they don’t like that I was trying to ask people that I thought were my age out. How am I supposed to know how old they are. I am shocked that someone would think that kids should even look at men’s junk. Teens are on this app and so are children. This is a very big deal. If they do that I’m reporting them to trump who will take care of this. That is gross to be allowing kids and young adults to be exposed to this. Someone should have the balls to do something about all these people who are exposing themselves to kids and teenagers. **Developer response:** Hi blue man 17.

Hope to hear from you! ### 1/5 — Do we need a group chat with 1700 people in it? *2023-01-30, version 1.23.0* It’s giving AOL launched an app without adding any features created after 1999. Not great and doesn’t really serve its intended purpose. This app is literally just group chats that have potentially thousands of other people in it. No filters, no frills, just one long stream of people saying hello over and over again, posting their TikTok handle, and no actual conversations happening. I tried joining smaller groups for some hobbies but the groups are inactive or people don’t participate in conversation. It has potential but it’s way underdeveloped. ### 1/5 — Deleted my account *2022-09-02, version 1.11.0* I had this apps for a few months and had an account already made. One day it logged me out and when I tried to log back in, it said I had to recreate my whole account. So I lost all the spaces I was in and all my followers. Please fix this issue or help me get my account back ### 3/5 — Sorely needed app needs some work *2023-04-01* I don't usually write reviews, but I had a few thoughts I just had to share. I created an account earlier and I'm enjoying my initial forays into the Spaces. I have to say, this has been - so far - one of the better social media experiences I've had. The only real problems are the number of people actually using the app - which I'm sure will go up in time but is currently leaving a lot of the Spaces near-empty - and certain issues with customization. For one, I would like the bio page to have a slightly higher max character count (say, 300 or so) so I can put a bit more in it. Also, the lack of a dark mode is a major accessibility concern. I would recommend adding a sepia or nature theme as well, as I've found it to be an excellent middle ground between light and dark. Finally, it would be nice if we could sort Spaces by the number of members when searching (biggest Spaces, smallest, etc.). Just adding one of these improvements (except the character count) would be reason enough for me to change my review from 3 to 4 stars. You guys are doing great work though. I can't express enough how much the world sorely needs an app like this. ### 3/5 — Eh, group chats? *2023-03-30* I can see this being more of an interest to younger people. The younger the better. It’s just a mass of group chats. Many just have a person or 2 or 5 in them. Others have hundreds or thousands. Just imagine a group chat with thousands of strangers rambling on. This is turning out to be “not for me”. I’d rather being doing something else. If it had MeetUp app type features with events to join, maybe. Also, where’s the dark mode setting. The glaring brightness is blinding. ### 3/5 — Decent so far *2023-02-04, version 1.23.0* It’s just like, an lgbtq discord esque style forum. Pretty bare bones at the moment, my only huge issue with the app right now is the notifications. If you don’t mute a chat, your phone will go off every time someone sends a message, which can sometimes be 30-50 notifications piling up bothering you while you can’t turn your phone to do not disturb mode. I’d really like the notifications to be fixed so that they stop from a specific chat once a couple of messages have already notified you. ### 3/5 — I like the idea of the app but not the format. *2023-02-02, version 1.23.0* Each group is like a giant group text. That’s fine for a private text group, but it’s absolute bedlam for a group with thousands of people on it. That’s gonna to be a naw for me dawg. ### 3/5 — Not all sign up options function *2022-06-27, version 1.4.1* I just installed the app. I wanted to use the signup by email option, but was unable to do so after getting an error that I need to update to the current version. I literally just downloaded it, so that shouldn’t be an issue. Signup with Facebook app also does not function. I get errors telling me the link to the application is not functional. I don’t see the point of having an application if you can’t even sign up for it. **Developer response:** Hi KazekageGaara650, Thank you for letting us know of this error. We are sorry that you came across it! We have just released a new version (1.5.0) that should fix any sign up problems. We hope that you decide to join our community at Spaces, and to deliver you an experience worth of a 5 stars rating! If you have any questions, problems or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team at feedback@hornet.com ### 3/5 — Bugs *2022-06-22, version 1.4.1* Can’t sign in by email, downloaded and instantly hit with issues making account unless going through Apple account, but wanted to use a different email. Overall app is average, but not a great look to have an option that just doesn’t work ### 4/5 — Good app! needs work. *2023-06-05* I just downloaded the app and immediately I am noticing the amount of times it crashes. It could be my phone's fault but anytime I open my emojis the app crashes or if I am typing for too long the entire thing freezes up and I have to close out of it and restart my message. I love the concept of it though and am excited for it's future development! I'm excited to meet some queer friends ❤️ **Developer response:** Hi thislittledude! We've addressed the issue in the latest update. Please update to the newest version to enjoy a smoother and more stable app. We appreciate your support and are excited for you to meet new queer friends. Feel free to reach out to us at feedback@hornet.com if you have any further feedback ❤️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best chat space app available *2023-03-07* I have been using this app for about a week now and I just love how many different chat groups are available on it. I also love how you can create your own chat group(s) if you want to. The people on this app are so inclusive and I’d probably be friends with some of them if I knew them in person ### 5/5 — Love *2023-02-20, version 2.0.0* Such an amazing group of people who I feel safe around and I know I will friendships /family for life in here! ### 5/5 — AOL all over again *2023-02-18, version 2.0.0* When I first saw this app advertised, it sounded like a remake of the old AOL chat rooms, but I decided to give it a try. There is much more depth with this app. Offering many more diverse topics and interests that the LBGTQ+ Community has. This app has something for everyone’s interests. Give it a try. ### 5/5 — Best app 🌈🌈❤️ *2023-02-16, version 2.0.0* I love this app it’s way more than I was expecting! You can join different groups and make new friends and just have fun with everyone in the LGBTQ+ 🌈 community! ### 5/5 — More relaxed *2023-02-14, version 1.23.0* It’s nice to have a place to share in your interests with much less of a chance of having a messed up encounter. Plus the different groups really gives me some options! ### 5/5 — Already meeting people! *2023-02-13, version 1.23.0* As soon as I got on I was in multiple conversations. It was great ### 5/5 — Really nice app! *2023-02-09, version 1.23.0* If there was a way to add themes to char backgrounds and react with more emojis to messages i think that would make it even better! ### 5/5 — A lot to choose from. *2023-02-05, version 1.23.0* There is an amazing number of subcategories/groups available within this app. You will be able to find someplace that fits you! ### 5/5 — Safe & Fun space *2023-02-04, version 1.23.0* This is has a variety of groups for everyone regardless of cultural background, genre, world views, etc. I like it thus far! ### 5/5 — Chris Richthofen Sr. *2023-02-03, version 1.23.0* I have just joined space a gay social networking club And so for it is fun to be a member you get to learn new things and social networks with other members that are gay and learn new things from other gay men . That maybe. Or maybe not known . but you can learn from other gay men that may be going through things that you may have gone through and have amount gone through yet.. although I have found space to be very informative and easy to talk and comment on other subjects . try to space you may enjoy it. What do you have to lose? thank you sincerely, Chris Richthofen Sr. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
