SCAM
They kept rescheduling my meet and greet as I would be better fit with a different group. Happened at least 3x. Reached out to get a refund, got a $40 off coupon instead. Gave it another shot and after a few more tries, it’s rescheduled, again. Of course some dates don’t work for me. I initially signed up April and it is now October. I reached out the second time to get my deposit back a couple months ago, and of course, no response. What a waste of time, money, and effort. All the great reviews are bots, I fear.

Realroots makes lasting friendships!
Making friends in your 30’s can be a challenge. So I joined realroots last August and I’m so glad I did! I was paired with women with enough similarities to make us click and enough differences to make it interesting. Here we are, a year later, with lasting connections and some true friendships. Last month, I attended a bachelorette weekend for one of my realroots gals and then a flower arranging birthday party for another. This month we are celebrating one graduating med school! My group is smart, funny, and diverse and I am so thankful for the experience.

Beware!! Auto renewal
I tried the series. After the series, they enroll you in a one year membership. Watch out! This auto renews at the one year point of the start of your original SERIES. They say: “we gave a warning,” but the thing is: they send SO many marketing emails that everything is filtered into spam. A random $280 charge is shocking.

Dishonest
They claim they’ll allow you a meet and greet for free but instead try to force you to join whatever group you were matched with weeks after the group already began the 6-week series

Weak app/web interfaces
Great idea, worked socially, but their digital infrastructure is really bad. Trying too hard and missing the essentials. Specifically four issues: 1) (currently) missing navigation to your view and adjust your membership status, including no way to remove a payment method. A recent update seemed to remove these functions entirely on the app, and I’ve never seen such options on the web version when logged in. For a membership based business this is really missing the mark.
2) The app’s chat features is redundant when they also group create text threads. Pick one mode and do it well.
3) Trying too hard to integrate AI personality and friendship quizzes; all of which were very glitchy, some of which didn’t even give the report promised. Recommend they get basic membership
management honed in and skip the bells and whistles until they’re beyond beta level quality.
4) There also can be a lot of clicks into some of their newer offerings only to find the offering is not established in your city yet anyway. This understandable for this business model, but could be way better managed with digital UX and comms improvement—think of how people navigate digitally, what info they need to determine if it applies to them, and minimize their dead ends.
Beyond these interface shortcomings the experiences curated are effective so long as you really show up and invest the time!
