### 1/5 — Crash city

*2023-09-02*

App won’t even open

### 1/5 — Used a year ago, now sends annoying text messages

*2020-04-22, version 16.4*

I havn’t used this app in a long time. What frustrates me no is that even after deleting it, they still send me text messages to my phone advertising their app. Unwanted and very annoying. Do not sign up and give them your contact info.

Edit:

 Developer responded to this claiming that this was untrue and that I had previously left numerous negative reviews. 

However this is not the case and it is disconcerting to see them take honest feedback and try to spin it around against the reviewer.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-02-13, version 14.9*

Love using this app to message my friends and see who’s around me. I also love the event map feature! Incredibly beneficial to have a messaging app that doesn’t require me to give out any personal info to anyone!

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly

*2020-01-29*

Cool idea, but app crashes constantly. Can’t even open the chat log because it just closes down. I have a message probably from a ripped hunk but I can’t even check

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2019-09-30*

I love this app so much! I’m a college student and it makes it sooo easy to reach out to big groups at events or in class. 10/10 recommend downloading.

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2019-09-27*

Zootch is an amazing concept especially for college students. If I miss something the professor said in lecture I can just message someone from the class. If I want to see any events happening around campus I can look on the Zootch map. It’s a great way to stay connected to each other and the campus community.

### 5/5 — Make your college experience better

*2019-09-26*

Zootch is really out here looking out for college students. It’s a great app where you can make friends, meet classmates and have always someone to chat with while you wait in between classes.

### 4/5 — so smart

*2019-09-24*

this app is exactly what i’ve been wanting. it’s a perfect medium to get to know someone better before exchanging ur personal info. especially since people can look u up with ur phone number, zootch’s platform allows for so much for flexibility

### 1/5 — Potential

*2019-09-20*

This app has the potential to be huge but currently I am the only one using the app in the city of Los Angeles.

### 5/5 — Pretty Great

*2019-09-16*

Great app, works well. Would recommend
