There are not a lot of resources for people who are Covid cautious, and this app is a major asset for people who are looking to meet others who still take Covid precautions. Some minor bugs here and there, and obviously not as many people on the app as some of the main social/dating apps, but overall an incredible app. ### 3/5 — gatekeepy and expensive *2025-12-26* unfortunately, this app gatekeeps normal basic functions that every other dating/friendship app has for free like making posts, unless you pay for pro. And that’s $20/month btw! As if most disabled people can fork that over. Also, god forbid you try to make a post, it’ll clock you for “putting personal information” when you literally didn’t put any identifiers in the post or comment. This is supposed to be a gem for us CC people, but the headaches and gripes are only getting more aggravating to deal with. Sad. ### 1/5 — Can’t Find Locals *2025-09-07* Needs a way to easily find people in the same region. I’m being shown people in another country which defeats the purpose of trying to make friends locally. I even narrowed my search to 60 miles and still receive picks from other countries. This is a bug they need to fix. Have seen others on social media complain about the same thing and the developer bashes them instead of vowing to improve the issue. Poor customer service. I also don’t like the way it looks, it is similar to a dating App. Many of us are just looking for friends. I don’t see the advantage of this App compared to CC communities. It’s a miss for me. ### 2/5 — Can’t Find Locals *2025-08-29* Needs a way to easily find people in the same region. I’m being shown people in another country which defeats the purpose of trying to make friends locally. I also don’t like bow it is similar to a dating App. Most of us are just looking for friends. ### 4/5 — great app, some small bugs *2025-06-30, version 1.1.0* I love this app for its purpose!! Also for ease of use and filtering options. I find I still have to re-enter chat to get new messages to load, and it would be nice to be able to erase certain chats so I can focus on new ones without too much scrolling. overall, great app! ### 4/5 — great app, some small bugs *2025-03-29, version 1.0.13* I love this app for its purpose!! Also for ease of use and filtering options. Would like it to be a little quicker -- sometimes i have to leave and re-enter chat to get new messages to load. Would be nice to be able to erase older chats so i can focus on new ones without too much scrolling. overall, great app! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-03-10* This is a really wonderful app for people who are seeking either in-person or remote community. I’m really glad that this app exists! The dev team did a really nice job — everything technical in the app works really well. ### 5/5 — Such a cool concept! *2025-02-27* Wonderful concept for connecting Covid cautious people. Of course there are some bugs to work out, but the team responded very promptly when I sent a help message about a small bug. I hope more and more people continue to join! ## Frequently asked questions about Refresh Connections ### What is Refresh Connections?
