The latest update was initially a little irritating due to videos not saving & some videos not showing in the history which was a bummer but it appears those issues have been ironed it out & all past waffles were restored. PROS: Originally just 3min, now the time limit is 5min- you can use all 5 OR cut it short, it’s up to you. Allows for a late upload w/in a window of time if life was life’ing that day. Subtitles. Multiple playback speeds. Allows you to review the waffle before sending. Don’t like it? Re-record! super simple, easy to navigate, you can make separate groups to stay in contact with diff. ppl & w/o having to make separate videos- you can record one & upload to every group simultaneously OR create separate waffles tailored to each group. CONS: can’t upload (pics or videos) from your photos/library. Sometimes videos take a crazy long time to upload & it says not to leave the page til the waffle is sent, so if you do OR if the screen times out, sometimes it’ll still go through, sometimes it won’t. Sometimes it’ll completely restart the upload process. I’m a big believer in taking lots of photos/videos cuz one day, that’s all you’ll have left to look back on! **Developer response:** So sorry to hear you're running into issues! Rest assured your old Waffle videos are all safe & sound. The new version of the app was a complete rebuild that required us to migrate all user data which is not a small undertaking, and although we reviewed everything to make sure nothing was missed, these processes aren't always perfect. We'll make sure to get you and your friends all sorted - just send us an email at support@wednsedaywaffles.com with your phone number and group name and we'll take care of it from there! ### 3/5 — New update deleted ALL our Waffles. 3.4 stars is generous (read below) *2026-02-19* We loved this app n its Concept for the longest!! Originally a high review but new & lower rating reflects the updated version. THE NEW UPDATE SUUUUCKS! PROS: subtitles. 5min vs 3. & a grace period to send a late waffle if life happens CONS: Update DELETED ALL previous ones (saved our notes tho which was weird!?) NOT COOL. 1 in the group switched to android & since then it’s been nothing BUT probs for him& he’s ready to delete. Pls fix asap W/O deleting ANYTHING else ESP Video wise **Developer response:** So sorry to hear you're running into issues! Rest assured your old Waffle videos are all safe & sound. The new version of the app was a complete rebuild that required us to migrate all user data which is not a small undertaking, and although we reviewed everything to make sure nothing was missed, these processes aren't always perfect. We'll make sure to get you and your friends all sorted - just send us an email at support@wednsedaywaffles.com with your phone number and group name and we'll take care of it from there! ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-10-24* Love this ### 3/5 — Potential but buggy *2025-07-31, version 2.0.8* I love the concept, and have enjoyed connecting with friends over the last couple months and learning about things us guys probably wouldn’t bother messaging about. But please, please sort the app out! It’s super buggy, waffles hardly ever come through like they used to in prev app versions. And now my latest video is laggy! We don’t want to have to just use WhatsApp, we want to use the app! ### 2/5 — Won’t Let me In *2025-07-25* I’ve been trying to get into the app for days now. It keeps getting stuck loading or when it finally does load it won’t let me past the choose a profile picture screen. I hit continue and nothing happens. I just want to get it the app :( I have an iPhone 12 for reference. **Developer response:** Hey there - sorry that you were having login issues with the MVP. We've rebuilt the app entirely and now you can login with you phone number or Google/Apple and should be able to create a profile without any issues! There's also a ton of new features to make Waffling as fun as it can be. Let us know what you think if you're open to giving it another try! ### 5/5 — The best app *2025-06-16, version 1.11.2* Perfect way to stay connected with friends from all over ### 5/5 — Social killer *2025-06-15, version 1.11.2* Sick way to stay in touch with the homies without being on Instagram ### 5/5 — Great way to keep in contact *2025-06-14, version 1.11.2* I love this app. Having worked in the mental health field, it’s obvious the benefits that something like this can provide. It makes keeping in touch intentional and fun. You can share the exciting things happening in your life, or a chance to be vulnerable. It opens doors to communication that you might not otherwise have. Can’t say enough good things. Also, bonus that the team works so hard to continuously improve the app and the experience. ### 5/5 — Give it a try! *2025-06-14, version 1.11.2* Honestly a ton of fun! It has become a really easy and seamless way to keep up with friends. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-06-13, version 1.11.2* It’s been helping me stay connected with my friends and family around the world as I have recently moved from Canada to London! This app really has had such a positive impact on my life! ### 5/5 — Awesome ! *2025-06-13* Such a simple and efficient way to keep up with friends ! I don’t have all day to text everyone, and my weekly waffle makes it so easy to keep up with everyone ! Love it ! ### 5/5 — Best app of 2025!!!! *2025-06-13, version 1.11.2* Amazing app that allows family/friends living at a distance to stay connected ### 5/5 — Great way to stay connnected! *2025-06-05, version 1.10.2* I’ve been using Wednesday Waffles since it came out. They are constantly evolving and improving the app. I’ve found huge value in staying close with my friends that don’t live near me. Sometimes you don’t have enough time to reach out to everyone in your life but this allows me to do that. ### 5/5 — Be Intentional about your relationships! *2025-06-05, version 1.10.2* This app puts the intentionality in relationships! I love keeping up with my siblings and my friends this way! And it’s such an easy app to use and updates are always making it better and better! ### 4/5 — Love the concept *2025-05-27, version 1.9.0* I love this idea and I’ve been doing this with a friend since we moved away from each other, so having the app now is really nice! I’m only giving 4 stars though because it would be helpful to not be restricted to sending a video only on Wednesdays. I think we used to be able to send it other days in the app then it changed. It would be nice to have flexibility back so that a video can still be sent another time in the week if Wednesday doesn’t work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work *2025-11-05, version 2.3.0* Love the concept, sadly the app doesn’t work at all – videos don’t upload. ### 1/5 — iPhone issues *2025-08-07, version 2.0.8* Tried installing and uninstalling, can’t get past the avatar screen, the continue button does nothing! ### 1/5 — Good idea but nothing works *2025-06-04* This could be fun but not all the videos upload when you want them to. You have to update every time you go into the app. Wanted to like the app just left a bad taste for “Waffles” **Developer response:** We've just rebuilt the app entirely to make sure upload issues are a thing of the past. You can now post your Waffles and watch all the ones you receive without any issues. Would love your thoughts if you give the app another try! ### 1/5 — Great concept terrible execution *2025-06-01* Love the concept but you can really tell this app was not made with any care or love. So much of it looks AI generated and there are so many bugs. It feels so artificially produced, which is weirdly antithetical to its mission. Last week I couldn’t even view half of my friends waffles. What’s the point?? **Developer response:** Hey Jimmy - we understand the frustration, the MVP fell short of expectations, but we just finished rebuilding the entire app from the ground up to get it right and are ready to share it with the world. If you're open to giving it another try, please let us know what you think! ### 1/5 — AI art 👎 *2025-05-14* Didn’t even try the app, saw the AI art and closed it. Do better. **Developer response:** The app has been completely redesigned in house and now looks like nothing else out there. If you are open to trying it again, we'd love to know what you think. ### 1/5 — Love the idea. Hate the app *2025-04-24* Me and my friends got this app to catch up with each other cause we thought it was a fun idea but the app just simply doesn’t work. Some days the waffles show up some days they don’t. **Developer response:** Hey Al - sorry to hear the MVP let you down. We weren't happy with it either so we threw it out and rebuilt the whole thing. The brand new version of the app is now reliable, but also fun to use (with reactions and streaks and a bunch of other features baked in). If Waffling is still of interest to you - we'd love to hear what you think of the new app! ### 1/5 — Cannot see my friends waffle *2025-04-16, version 1.3.0* Pls fix ### 1/5 — Does not work… *2025-03-28, version 1.1.2* Posts or ‘waffles’ from the group aren’t loading in the chat, so I can’t see what others have posted and neither can others… disappointing… ☹️ ### 1/5 — Really want to Waffle but can’t! *2025-03-18, version 1.0.5* I can’t even get past the sign up screen for my phone number. It won’t let me get through. So sad as I’ve been waiting for this! ### 2/5 — Not user friendly *2026-03-21, version 26.3.18* The intent is great, the product is not. Not intuitive, took a while faffing to figure it out, wasn’t easy to set up, people found it hard to join and while The icons are kitschy, the usage functions aren’t obvious or well labelled. I tried, but gave up in the end. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game changer!! *2026-08-13, version 26.8.12* Absolute savior for me and my long distance friends. We needed this! Thank you thank you thank you ### 5/5 — Family communication *2026-07-31, version 26.7.29* This is so useful for communicating and keeping up with my family! ### 5/5 — A great way to keep in touch *2026-05-06* I’ve been using the Waffles app for close to a year now and find that it is a great way to keep in touch with friends I am not geographically close to. The app has definitely had some bugs in that past year, but the team seems to be eager to fix them and very responsive to feedback. It’s been great to use the waffle app to help automate some of the keeping in touch that I would like to do, but sometimes forget to in the hustle and bustle of life. ### 5/5 — A reason to love Wednesdays *2026-04-29, version 26.4.29* My friends and I religiously hop into the app each Wednesday so we stay connected even with our busy lives. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Helps build intentional friendships *2026-04-01, version 26.4.1* Loving this app! It looks great, and is so easy to use, and gives my friends and I a way to intentionally stay connected even though we’re all in different cities. They’ve truly thought of everything — I love being able to comment and see others’ comments, and to send different waffles to different groups. The team is also so responsive to feedback and questions. Can’t say enough good things! ### 5/5 — Great way to maintain friendships *2026-03-19, version 26.3.18* Been using the app for a couple weeks now. It’s easy to use, great interface and it’s made keeping up with friends really fun. ### 5/5 — Love the app! *2026-03-12, version 26.3.4* Have been using the app since the relaunch a few weeks ago and love the built in reactions, emojis, comments, etc. It makes staying connected so much more fun and engaging than just using iMessage or WhatsApp! ### 5/5 — Loving it! *2026-03-12, version 26.3.4* Love the concept and it’s been such a great and intentional way for my friends and I to stay connected ### 5/5 — The best way to connect with friends! *2026-03-10, version 26.3.4* Ever since hearing about the Wednesday waffle concept I’ve been a huge fan and the app just made the experience SO much better. I moved to a different country from most of my girlfriends and family this year so being able to stay connected and get updates across different timezones is such a blessing. Big fan of the concept and the app 🙏 ### 5/5 — Great Concept! *2026-02-19, version 26.2.18* Everything about the app is amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
