User reviews

Misnomer

Sends repeated notices about how many people attending, but the the actual number of people that show up is nowhere even close to that. App doesn’t work well when you’re there either.

Finally, real life meetups for singles!

Been to one event and it was super cool. You login and it matches you with the people there for mini dates, telling you where to meet, ringing when your time is up, and giving you the option to connect again. Can be confusing at first but it’s fun. Recommended. And so much better than swiping.

App kept failing at the event

Wouldn’t work at the event and when brought to the attention of the event host they couldn’t do anything it

Great Concept, Needs Better Execution

I had a lot of fun at the event but the app itself is very glitchy. There were times when my matches wouldn’t load so I ended up missing a connection. The idea of meeting at a set location is fun but, again, there were issues with locations being incorrect or already occupied by other people. I also would’ve appreciated more organization of the event in general. Having your phone volume up to notify you when your five minutes of chatting is done just isn’t conducive to having genuine conversations. I would’ve preferred a bell or a host to let everyone know when it’s time to switch. The ice breakers are not the greatest either. Very clunky and awkward but a few of my matches and I got a good laugh out of them so I guess not a total loss. Overall, this is a great idea and I think this concept can be successful with more fine tuning.

You get what you pay for…nothing

Took a chance on this app. Showed up to a bar of 30+ men and only 3 women. Basically they ignored the app and just talked to the one or two men that were worth their time. It was a very depressing experience overall.
