User reviews

Too strict on the SNS request ban

Outside of that app, I do like the concept. But the idiotic choose to autoban asking for SNS has me questioning it’s strictness, or if it’s because they insist you pay to use their app, but it’s not working 100% thankfully. Met 2 amazing people in the app offline. But guess what, it didn’t stop us from keeping in touch outside the app as a result.

It’s an amazing app nonetheless, and to an extent I haven’t noticed scammers on here BUT it can be pretty dead for multiple weeks at a time.

No longer free. Forcing to pay pro version

Used to be able to request chat for free but now theg put a paywall for that too. So now there is only the option to wait and maybe someone messages you. If you dont pay you are stuck waiting. Smh

Response from developer

Hi arantxatxu, thank you for your feedback. We'd like to clarify that replying to messages is always completely free. You'll never pay to respond to someone who reaches out to you. We also offer free chat requests periodically, so you're not limited to just waiting. We understand the frustration, and we're always working to balance keeping the app sustainable while providing value to all users. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our support team!

Buggy app and have to spend money to use

The app is buggy I have to click multiple times to do something. And I thought it was free but I have to spend money so sadly I will have to uninstall and delete my profile. The app doesn’t seem bad but with the constant tapping is to much of a bother

Response from developer

Hi Ayyclee, we're sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience. Regarding the tapping issue, we've made many improvements since your review and this should no longer be a problem. If it ever was a bug, it has been resolved. Regarding costs: replying to messages is always free, and we provide free chat requests regularly, so you can connect without paying. We hope you'll give us another chance!

Perfect App For World Travelers

SewaYou is a fantastic app where you can meet new people no matter where you are in the world as long as someone in that part of the world uses the app too. So no matter where you move or travel too you can say hello and meet up in a public safe place and connect. I’ve had some success, and it helps knowing there’s a section in the app where you can tell people when you are available on what day and time so they can reach out on their free time too. It’s super cool. Can’t wait to use it some more.
