I love using the Zonal app. ### 5/5 — Right app *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* To connect with local people and following their social events especially when you move to a new city can be a very tough task. This is where this app becomes a boon for you.The right app for socializing quick and smooth. ### 5/5 — Too nice. *2018-08-31, version 1.4.5* This app is too nice. The words can't explain how well it treats it's users. ### 5/5 — Keep exact location unrevealed *2018-08-30, version 1.4.5* I think it is the best social app. Zocal shares only my CITY with my friends but never shares my exact location in that city.I can enjoy my privacy. ### 5/5 — very cool app idea *2018-08-30, version 1.4.5* The app is based on socialization and I really like the concept of the Zonal app.It is one classic app. ### 5/5 — Super useful *2018-08-30, version 1.4.5* I find this app so useful.I can connect with so many friends of mine.I am delighted to have it. ### 5/5 — Reconnected with 4 college friends *2018-08-29, version 1.4.5* Everyone is on the move these days. Your friends travel all over the world and so it's easy to miss connections. Zocal makes it super simple to find and connect with people you already know wherever you're going. I live in Chicago, and I found 4 friends through Zocal from college who were also living here for the past 3 years but I had no idea that they were here. ### 5/5 — Helped me settle in a new city *2018-08-22, version 1.4.5* My first week in new york, when I was feeling completely lost, Zocal helped find who all I knew and got me settled in better. It's a lifesaver! ### 5/5 — Keeps exact location hidden *2018-08-22, version 1.4.5* I think it is the best location app out there. Zocal shares only my CITY with my friends but never shares my exact location in that city. It's a great balance between staying connected with everyone and yet maintaining my privacy. ### 5/5 — Loving the Reddit Local account *2018-08-22, version 1.4.5* I started following Reddit Local on Zocal and it's so fun!! You can browse around different cities and see all the quirky fun things people are doing lol. ### 5/5 — Super useful *2018-08-22, version 1.4.5* I live in New York where a lot of people keep traveling to for a few days. With Zocal I'm aware which friends are in town and I can make time to meet them. I'd be completely out of the loop otherwise. ### 5/5 — Helps you when you move or travel *2018-08-22, version 1.4.5* To reconnect with local people and following their social events especially when you move to a new city can be a very tough task. This is where this app becomes a boon for you. The right app for socializing quick and smooth. ### 5/5 — Great app! Simple to use *2018-08-20, version 1.4.5* The app is quite easy to use. Fairly straightforward, I like the privacy settings, and it's fun to browse around the different cities. ### 5/5 — Place for local conversations! *2018-08-20, version 1.4.5* I quite like the concept. In everyday life there's tons of stuff that's relevant to where you are - maybe you need a couch to crash on, you want to find a running/gym partner, you want to find someone to go to a concert nearby. Putting these posts on Facebook would essentially be reaching everyone who isn't even close to your location. On Zocal, you can make sure it reaches the most relevant people who're in or visiting your city. ### 5/5 — Building new connections *2018-08-20, version 1.4.5* It has helped me get in touch with a lot of new people who've already lived here before. I got to hang out with a few of them who really helped me get comfortable with the new place ### 5/5 — Gives you a sense of familiarity *2018-08-14, version 1.4.4* The app was the best thing I could find in my first week abroad. It gave me a sense of familiarity to a city that I was completely an alien to. ### 5/5 — Got me addicted! *2018-08-14, version 1.4.4* You can talk and discover things relevant to where you are. It's like a localized Twitter! ### 5/5 — Love browsing local news *2018-08-14, version 1.4.4* I always felt I knew what was happening around the US but was out of touch of what was happening in my own city. You can follow NY Times, CNN, and a few other news accounts on Zocal will filter the news by city. Simple enough, but yet quite a fun user experience. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Not accurate location *2022-09-16, version 4.3.1* I live in the USA,my child lives in Jamaica and I download the app to her phone so I can see where she is at all times.The first two weeks it works find but last week the app tells me she is at home when she at school. ### 4/5 — Love the app! *2018-11-20, version 1.5.1* Zocal is basically a platform for local conversations. The news feeds are split by city so you can browse content that’s specific to a place. Great app! ### 5/5 — Smart app *2021-08-01, version 4.0.5* Easy to use. Accurate and convenient! This is a must have app. It makes sharing location with families and friends easy! I highly recommend Zocal. ### 5/5 — Exciting app *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* It's a wonderful app. My friends referred it to me and I am so excited to to have it. ### 5/5 — 5 stars! *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* Connected with a few friends when traveling. Made it quite easy! ### 5/5 — Only your city is shared!! I love it *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* I was always cautious of using Snapchat's Map, Google Latitude, or any other location app with my friends. They broadcast your exact location and with everything that's happening around the world that is so unsafe!! What I love about Zocal is that it shares only your city and doesn't show people your exact location. This I can get on board with. ### 5/5 — Staying in touch is so much easier! *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* I recently graduated college and moved to New York. Zocal makes it super easy to find which friends are near me, or who all are visiting the city. I've managed to get in touch with quite a few people who I would have otherwise missed. ### 5/5 — Rediscovering my city *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* Thanks to the app, i've been able to rediscover the city in the last month which I didn't think was possible because I had already been living here for more than 3 years. ### 5/5 — Got me to see a Beatles Cover Band Concert! *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* I got to find out that a beatles cover band was performing in a club only a few streets away because of the app. I am a huge fan of the beatles and it would've completely destroyed me had I missed it. ### 5/5 — Great platform for everything local *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* Local restaurants & businesses, people visiting, the local news - this is a platform for all of that. You can post about anything relevant to a city and not spam your friends that live thousands of miles away! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Interesting app *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* This app is really cool. The design is superb and its benefits are worth considering. ### 5/5 — The best ever *2018-09-04, version 1.4.5* It is the best app I have ever seen.I can browse/ search /find so many friends around the world. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
