A hope for social apps
Honestly, I would say the app is fun and unique. I haven’t had the chance to attend any events yet, but hopefully I will sooner or later. Even though I’m not usually comfortable in group settings, it’s still something I’m looking forward to.
I matched with all kinds of people and met a couple of them in person. Some conversations and encounters were disappointing, but they all taught me something in the end. I know many people, myself included, have busy lives and don’t always have time to meet up in real life. However, there are also some people who seem to prefer only talking online, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Personally, I’d rather interact face to face.
Nowadays, it’s hard to find genuine friends, so any social app can be hit or miss.
When I tried talking to guys romantically, it was exciting at first, but after meeting in person, I realised their intentions were different from mine, or the energy between us changed.
Overall, my experience using Sonder was about 50/50, but I still think it’s much better than many other social apps. My favourite feature was definitely the Mood Board!
I’ve also seen a lot of people mention that it’s difficult to find others nearby, especially if you don’t live in London. I’d definitely encourage the team to expand to more cities. Please consider Oxford too!

AMAZING APP!!
The people on here seem to be more fun & interesting than people on other apps & I believe this is due to the creativity than can be unleashed through your profile design. It helps you identify which person you may befriend more easily. They also host regular events which seem like so much fun (e.g. painting tote bags). Incredibly underrated app, definitely the best I’ve ever used to try and meet new friends — that can actually hold a convo (ofc not everyone, but I believe there’s a lot more interesting ones than other apps). The founders seem like lovely people who actually care about the quality of their app the experiences of the people using the app. Theres also a ton of options to design your profile (you can even import things) and sm stickers to use in chats. The only improvement I could think of is adding voice notes 🙏

Location limits
I was really excited to join after seeing it on TikTok and as a person that struggles with loneliness I thought this was a cool way to make new friends. However, I’m getting no likes and I think it’s because it caters to people in London and everyone I swipe on is based there. I wish that that was a bit clearer before I went through the whole process of setting up my page because I can’t really use it for the main purpose now. I tried to submit a ‘new city’ form and it didn’t work either. I’m sure though if I was based in London, it’d be a great tool to meet new friends!

hi! We’re actively working on expanding to new cities - please keep an eye out!
fun app, issues with bugs and crashes
really fun and creative app even as somebody who doesn’t live in the uk!! i’ve met some great international friends so far and had a good time customizing my profile to the fullest extent, as well as seeing what everybody else does with theirs. unfortunately, the app being so young means it’s still a bit buggy. i’ve had issues with editing text specifically causing the app/profile editor to crash unless i deleted and reinstalled the app. it’s still usable, but i’m excited to see these problems get fixed so the app can live up to its full potential.

App doesn’t let me log back in or make a new account
Was using this app for a week then it wasn’t showing people’s profiles so I logged out then tried to log back in. Now when I try to do it, it keeps saying “oops, something went wrong, please try again”. It’s been weeks now and I can’t get back into the app.
Whats the issue and can this be resolved? I’d like to go back to using the app
