I am being shown absolutely zero profiles of anyone near my city despite me having location filters on. The profiles are all people who are London based and there’s no events for people who don’t live in London **Developer response:** hi! we're a small team currently focused in London so the location filters only working within London, we're working hard to expand to other cities! sorry about that ### 3/5 — Facial and age verification *2026-05-31, version 1.0.58* Please add some sort of age and facial recognition on this app I just got catfished by someone which was a waste of my time. ### 3/5 — ok *2026-05-08, version 1.0.54* i downloaded this last night n it was rlly refreshing to see a new style of connecting with ppl but now whenever i try to update my moodboard it js keeps loading for so long i cant change anything anymore ### 3/5 — Everyone’s in London? *2026-04-10* Is this only for people who live in London? I feel a little out of place here lol… **Developer response:** helloo! we'll be expanding to the US soon but ty for trying out sonder!! ### 5/5 — Optimize for US plzzz!! *2026-04-07* Hiiiiiii ~ obsessed with this concept and would love to use this in the US!!! **Developer response:** helloo! we'll be expanding to the US soon but ty for trying out sonder!! ### 5/5 — DARK MODE PLEASE *2026-03-24, version 1.0.46* please add dark mode option it’s killing my eyes aaaaaah ### 3/5 — cute app but SO laggy while editing profile *2026-03-24* try and edit any part of your profile for longer than 5 mins and your phone will become 1000° and lag to HELL. literally have to edit a few things, put phone down for 10 mins to let it cool down and then come back to it **Developer response:** thank you so much for flagging this! we just released version 1.0.48 that should fixed this!! thank you for bringing this to our attention ### 4/5 — many inactive users *2026-03-13* i like this app, it’s so cute! and a great place to go if you’re trying to make friends as everyone is on the app for the same purpose. the design features and styling is soo cute too, so i think it makes finding people with a similar vibe really easy. My only complaint is that i feel like there are many inactive users on the app, unless im wrong? i only downloaded the app a few days ago and but that’s my impression and wonder if they have a filtering system for who shows up for you to like also based on user activity x **Developer response:** thank you!! that's such a great idea - we just made it so that you'll see people who are more active on your feed first before the inactive ones :) tbh most people are active but life gets in the way sometimes so pls don't be discouraged if someone replies late. thank you again for trying sonder :) ### 5/5 — So wholesome *2026-02-19* This app is so cute I’m really loving it so far. I’ve met two ppl off there so far and every connection feels so intentional. It’s really helped me get out there!! ### 5/5 — Events review *2025-12-10* This is more of an events review. After going to 3 of them I can confirm that Sonder hold the best events and it all comes down to the founders. They do a great job in creating such a welcoming space each time. I’ve been to other events in London but the founders never get involved as much as the founders of Sonder. The same goes out to their friends who also help out at the events! They always make sure that you’re not alone, will even introduce you to people and join in some games too. Sonder attracts a certain type of people and everyone you meet at events or on the app is so friendly and nice. Everyone has such a positive vibe to them. They’re definitely making a big difference here! I look forward to more events next year :) **Developer response:** thank u so much for your kind words!! can't wait to see u at more of our events :) ### 5/5 — the future of finding new people to meet *2025-11-26, version 1.0.22* best app i’ve used for finding new people to be friends with, super refreshing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-03, version 1.0.69* Im from Bristol and it won’t let me sign up like some error from the app so ive just had to delete it unfortunately ### 1/5 — App doesn’t let me log back in or make a new account *2026-06-16* 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 **Developer response:** Hi! This shouldn’t be happening and it sounds like a network issue. Please can you email us at hi@findsonder.app and we’ll be happy to assist! Thank you ### 1/5 — the most frustrating app in the world *2026-04-27* this app is nearly impossible to use!! It’s impossible to select anything on your profile, the stickers randomly duplicate, and the text boxes randomly close mid edit. genuinely one of the most frustrating apps I’ve ever experienced using. Would NOT recommend. **Developer response:** Thank you for the honest feedback. We apologize for the issues you faced with the profile editor. We’ve recently released a significant update which resolves these glitches and streamlines the experience. We hope you'll give us another chance and let us know what you think of the improvements. ### 1/5 — App glitches and freezes *2026-01-20, version 1.0.30* Not sure how old this app has been going for and the total amount of users but even just creating a profile made my phone screen freeze, the app glitches and kept freezing everytime I edited or clicked/saved something! ### 1/5 — App Just Won’t Work *2025-09-19* I’ve previously downloaded this app in July as I saw the TikTok video and thought it was good idea and a better way to get know people without having to pay stupid prices just to connect with someone however the app didn’t work for me, after not even a day of installation it kept saying that it was having trouble connecting meaning I couldn’t interact with the app at all nor was I able to delete my account whilst it happened; deleting rhe app and reinstalling didn’t help either so in the end I just had to delete it overall. I’ve now come back again after a couple months thinking that maybe since there’s been updates that it’ll work but however the same problem still exists **Developer response:** really sorry about the issues you're having, I have fixed the issues now and this shouldn't be happening again, please let me know if you run into any further issues. thank you! ### 2/5 — Location limits *2026-07-03* 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! **Developer response:** hi! We’re actively working on expanding to new cities - please keep an eye out! ### 2/5 — really cute concept but.... *2025-07-10, version 1.0.4* i REALLY wanna like this but i cannot make a collage bc every time i mistap on a blank space or try to add something that isnt a picture or text it just completely resets and takes away all my work. i don't want to use a template i want to be creative!! free me!!! ### 3/5 — Be careful also location is not accurate *2026-08-05* I’ve met a few weirdos off this app ngl which is unfortunate so just have your wits about you if you do use it and also the location is very off I’m getting people from Florida and different countries when my settings are set to 1km. Nice idea but disappointing app. Also matches should be removed if the person doesn’t reply ina. Timeframe a lot of time wasters on there **Developer response:** hey, sorry about this. we're always improving the app, and we'll look into the issues around location filtering. also, feel free to report any concerning interaction or user. we take reports very seriously and respond to them within 12 hours. ### 3/5 — A hope for social apps *2026-07-30* 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! ### 3/5 — Love hate relationship *2026-06-19, version 1.0.62* Accidentally deleted my review yesterday Honestly, it’s an amazing app and I love it. It encourages creativity and lets people show off their personality. Everyone is so unique and stylish, and overly cool which makes it a really enjoyable space to be in. My only real criticism is that most of the people I’ve matched with some lovely people who i feel I would get along with but they live quite far away. Most users are London based unfortunately. I’m mainly looking for friendships that can also exist in real life, and that’s difficult when you don’t drive and travelling can be challenging esp because it’s expensive. It would be great if there were better options for connecting with people who live closer to your area. Also a voice note feature would be great I have some much to say and i don’t really want to be sending paragraphs lmao😭 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — literally the BEST app!! *2026-08-05* absolutely obsessed with sonder! the ppl I’ve spoken to here I’ve met and they’ve become very dear friends of mine. I have found it so tough to meet new people, and I’m tired of spending so much money going to pubs and excursions just to meet people - here I’ve met so many people like myself and that’s just the app! The in person events sonder holds are soooooo fun. Feels like I’m back in uni hanging out with my mates except I’ve got adult money now 😆 100% recommend!!! **Developer response:** thank you sooo much for trying sonder!! we're so glad you're enjoying it and have made some genuine connections 😊 if you ever have any feedback, we'd love to hear it. thanks again for the kind words!! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-08-05* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve had a great experience using Sonder. The app is easy to use, and it’s been a really nice way to meet new people and make genuine connections. I like that it brings together people who are looking to expand their social circle, and the community feels welcoming and friendly. It’s perfect if you’ve moved to a new city or just want to meet like-minded people. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try! **Developer response:** so glad you've had a great experience with sonder! thanks so much for the kind words. we're really happy to hear that it's helped you meet new people and make genuine connections. if you ever have any ideas or feedback, we'd love to hear them! ### 5/5 — AMAZING APP!! *2026-07-08* 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 🙏 ### 5/5 — App does exactly what designed to do !!!!!! *2026-06-11* Literally THE App everyone in London needs to download rn to meet new people in London I love how it works as both an online messaging but also provides discount to attend their in person events. I have met so many new interesting both by chatting online and by meeting irl by attending their in person activities where I have formed so many meaningful connections I wouldn’t have found with the app. **Developer response:** that's so lovely to hear!!! we're so glad it's working for you :) ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-05-30, version 1.0.57* Met some of my best friends on sonder ### 5/5 — AMAZING APP *2026-05-29* this is such a great app for meeting new people, I’ve met so many lovely individuals and formed long lasting friendships, the app is simple and easy to use and the concept is very unique.
