### 4/5 — Block feature

*2013-03-13, version 3.0.1*

It's has potential, but I was wondering can a block option be added. Certain user harass you.

### 4/5 — Lots of F.U.N.

*2013-01-28, version 2.7*

I would recommend this app. Could use some design embellishment, but the concept is cool and addictive! I just wish more people in my area (Maine, USA) were using it... It's free... Check it out!

### 4/5 — Simple & Authentic

*2012-07-11, version 2.1*

Simple & Authentic-like Twitter was at first. With a twist-location and relative anonymity.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2012-07-06, version 2.1*

Good stuff

### 5/5 — New kind of messaging

*2012-06-28, version 2.1*

Love this.  Great tool for a whole new kind of location-based connecting.  Have used it to discover people and info directly relevant to my locale.  Planning a big treasure hunt using it!

### 3/5 — Great concept

*2012-06-16, version 2.1*

This is such an awesome idea, but the interface isn't as intuitive as it should be and it still has a few glitches to work out. 

On a side note, the color scheme could be prettier too. Haha

### 5/5 — Should be more popular, great app

*2012-06-06, version 2.1*

This is one of the most interesting concepts for a communication App, works great and is fun. This isn't more popular probably because no one has heard of it.  Developer needs to advertise the product

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-06-05, version 2.1*

Really, it's good fun and I'm surprised that it hasn't become more popular! Guess we'll have to give it time.

### 5/5 — Dangerously fresh

*2012-05-31, version 2.1*

This app is 4chan, Twitter and Midnight in Manhattan all rolled into one. Let's see what it can do as more people figure out how to vibe.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2012-05-29, version 2.1*

I love this. It's an insanely new approach to social networking.

### 4/5 — so far so good

*2012-05-28, version 2.1*

useful/fun, haven't encountered any bugs yet. heard about it from HONY.

edit: oops, force closed on me twice while trying to update settings, so I take that back. still a promising app though, until people start to spam or abuse it. maybe allow a way to flag a post as inappropriate, saw some images I cannot unsee.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2012-05-28, version 2.1*

I'm so glad someone finally made something like this! It's a different kind of social networking, filling a role that Facebook and similar "networks" don't. I love that there is no cache of personal information for apps and advertisers to mine, or for burglars to know their next target while you're publicly announcing you're on vacation, no constant Facebook changes without you being notified so suddenly your privacy settings are pointless, no getting your account hacked and having all your private info made vulnerable, no trying to figure out the privacy settings in the first place... If your data isn't there to begin with, it can't be abused! And no trying to maintain a public "professional" identity for the benefit of your work life while having open conversations about your political beliefs, for example, under the same name (sure anonymity will be abused because that's human nature, but it does have advantages, and you can always sign your name if you want). You can just have conversations with people around you, period. Simple! Social networking has gotten way too bloated and complicated. Vibe is refreshing. And it has the potential to foster REAL face-to-face interactions, rather than trying to replace them.

P.S. Also learned about the app from HONY. ;)

### 4/5 — Migliorare si può!

*2012-05-27, version 2.1*

L'idea è molto buona, é semplice, carino, e da la possibilità di conoscere gente nuova! Bisognerebbe aggiornarlo con la lingua!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2012-05-27, version 2.1*

It's a very interesting app. Heard about it from HONY.

### 1/5 — Not sure it still works?

*2022-10-29, version 3.8.1*

I’d like to give it more stars but nothing ever pops up in the app. I even tried posting, to see if it show something, and nothing displayed on the map. I tried looking in bigger cities like Seattle and New York, where something should display- and nothing still. I noticed the reviews are like 8-12 years old. I went to their website, and the posts there where like 2012, so I think this app is a bust. Maybe? I don’t know?

### 1/5 — No

*2015-04-19, version 3.8.0*

Not good

### 1/5 — Bad

*2013-07-11, version 3.4.0*

Bad

### 1/5 — Terrible Idea

*2012-09-13, version 2.3*

Thought it was a novel idea at first. Then I forgot how stupid ppl are. Just a bunch of garbage being posted. Ppl post stupid stuff all day on FB and that stuff actually has some type of filter as it's at least tied to an identity. Give a user anonymity and...the garbage gets worse. App is nicely made fwiw

### 1/5 — Possibly the worst app I've ever used

*2012-05-21, version 2.1*

I've been Vibing on and off for a little while now, but this app is so horribly unreliable that I've given up. Searching doesn't work, the UI is a trainwreck, and despite being cool in concept, the execution is so poor that just seeing the icon on my screen makes me angry.

### 1/5 — Huh?

*2012-04-29, version 2.0*

Can't figure this out. Blank when I load.

### 1/5 — Good idea, but doesn't work

*2011-10-18, version 1.4.1*

I liked the idea of this app, however when installed all I get is a continual flashing 'loading...' message and the app locks out!

### 1/5 — nice idea

*2011-05-25, version 1.0*

but not available in my area
and how to submit my email

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2015-06-27, version 3.8.0*

Bookmarking different locations doesn't work.

### 2/5 — Pointless

*2013-03-23, version 3.1*

Massively disappointing

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2016-02-08, version 3.8.0*

A quick and easy way to see the Instagram messages and photos posted around your location. I have a cabin in the mountains and it's awesome to see all the photos posted by those who enjoy the PCT and my woods. This app works consistently and perfectly. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2014-09-13, version 3.8.0*

It's pretty awesome app. I approve :) nice way to stalk people jk. But it's still really cool to see what's going on around the area

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2013-12-24, version 3.5.1*

Yes amazing

### 5/5 — Interesting app

*2013-03-03, version 3.0*

I like the anonymity of the app. Wish it would get broader adoption

### 5/5 — Fun

*2013-01-15, version 2.6.2*

This app is a great way to communicate anonymously with people nearby.

### 5/5 — New grove Vibe

*2012-11-10*

Just rediscovered the new vibe and I love it. Clean lines and easy to use it is so much better than the first app. Good work guys and gals. 

Cheers

Robbie

### 5/5 — Just because it was on news

*2012-09-23, version 2.4*

I came to check it out because they used free advertisement I'll try it n see wat alll the buzz is about

### 5/5 — Give credit where due!

*2012-09-21, version 2.4*

I also read the article about Vibe creator being the first to get the iPhone 5 in NYC, now I'm here to check it out.  Worth the week he spent out front waiting! Nice move :)

### 5/5 — Vibe is Most useful photo journaling app

*2012-09-21, version 2.4*

Very cool app.....it's Facebook with anonymity, it's location-book because it tags by location instead of people.  So for example I can immediately tag a location having price per gallon of gas at $3.50.  When anyone searches the area, they will see my post and helpful.

### 5/5 — Endless possibilities!!!

*2012-08-19, version 2.2*

The app has so much going for it,but it's still  a fresh app. So you should expect some things to work slow ,freeze  or whatever .
