A great way to keep in touch

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.

A reason to love Wednesdays

My friends and I religiously hop into the app each Wednesday so we stay connected even with our busy lives. Highly recommend

Helps build intentional friendships

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!

Not user friendly

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.

Great way to maintain friendships

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.
