### 3/5 — Will not submit my home address

*2021-04-20, version 4.08*

Will not submit my home address - was interested in your promoted dating site only.

### 1/5 — Confusion

*2021-04-19, version 4.08*

I started to get this app but when reading the underlying rules one must agree to, they ALL refer to transportation. Everything about this app sounds like it’s about people helping people in many ways but the rules we must 1st agree to, make it truly sound like I’m signing up to be some sort of Uber driver. The rules refer to nothing else. I’m sorry but I don’t understand. Until I do I can’t agree to rules that don’t make any sense to me and seem as though I’m signing up to be an Uber driver.?

### 1/5 — Worst

*2021-04-18, version 4.08*

The worst app ever . What a wast of time . I’m looking for a replacement for fb .

### 1/5 — No way to delete your account given.

*2021-03-30, version 4.03*

The site gives no way to readily delete your account. Am writing the company but that should not be necessary. You can unsubscribe from emails but that’s not the same as deletion. So much for privacy...

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2021-02-20, version 3.53*

There is no way to delete your account if you choose to leave the app, don’t bother signing up, then is nothing to see here

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-08-27, version 3.40*

🙌🏾

### 1/5 — User Agreement Updated needed

*2020-08-27, version 3.40*

Your user agreement needs to be updated to reflect the intended use of the app... currently it’s related to ride share etc.

### 5/5 — Ujama is a revolution

*2020-08-26, version 3.40*

Ujama is revolutionary! Ujama in a new millennial way to support and love thy neighbor. I love this app because I’m old-school and I was raised in a community where our neighbors knew one another, we supported one another. We understood as children and the adults understood that it takes a village. I grew up in a time and neighborhood where we listened to our neighbors, we respected our neighbors and we obeyed our neighbors ....this IS Ujama!🙏🏽❤️

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-08-26, version 3.40*

I like the simpleness of the app it is user friendly and I am looking forward to establish great partnerships within the community. Thanks for creating this media platform

### 5/5 — Building my network

*2019-10-04, version 3.09*

There are so many useful features. I love that I can find families for ride shares and playdates! I can also find families that are into the same activities so we can join forces.
