No code?!?!It’s not sending the verification code?!?!! I tried phone number and email but no code?.Version: 4.13.1

Spamming my friendsWhy have my friends received text messages from you? I didn’t knowingly or willingly send them..Version: 0.4.1

Wont send codeHere for Nikki 🥲.Version: 4.15

Too much of invasion of privacyAs much as I understand that in order to know the activity of nearby students from your school, you cant skip that step. I want to be able to see and do stuff without allowing an entrance to my contacts or location. I like the idea, but the fact that more than one person wants to be able to do such things without giving this information, and having it not be resolved, is quite unsettling. Please do ready my review and see my side of the story. If there is a simple non-sketchy reason, then I will satisfied with the app, but until then, I am not quite satisfied..Version: 0.4

Don’t download this app it’s a waste of timeThis app is terrible when I enter the verification code it says it’s incorrect I did it like about 7 times and it kept on saying it’s incorrect fix ur app.Version: 4.18

Misleading DevelopersI got a texted saying I was “voted for” and to download the app for more information. I read the reviews and in several the developers say that you can see who nominated you and info about the app without having to reveal your location and contacts. That’s very misleading. The “noms” are anonymous and you can request for the person to reveal themselves. After you do that, you’re asked to give the app access to your location and contacts. You can do nothing else. You can’t see anything about how the app works. You can’t actually judge how the app works and whether or not you trust it to have access to your information. You have to give it access or you see nothing. I don’t want some app I can’t see anything about have access to my contacts. The reviews accusing the app of sending invites en masse to people’s contacts don’t really put my inherent suspicions to ease..Version: 0.3.1

No code was sentI tried everything multiple times and i never received any code even after a couple days..Version: 4.14

HorribleIt crashes and freezes all the time. Pictures cannot be seen sometimes. Laggy. Had to press resend many times to receive the pin. Also don’t really get the point of it..Version: 3.1.14

Hi I gues sI’m only here for more gems in a game tbh.Version: 4.12.1

So and so and such and suchThis app has some down sides but has some good sides too, it really isn’t all that bad and deserves some respect. I mean I think the he person who made this just wanted to make a useful tool for the community 😉 I’d give it in the middle..Version: 4.16.2

Bull SNo code, just a waste of time.Version: 4.16

This company is disgustingAbout a week ago I got a message about some World Cup event with Mario Garcia. Someone I do not know. Ignored it. But it got sent again the next day I replied with “STOP” and it said I unsubscribed when I never did but, ok I was glad It would stop it would ring at random times. BUT NOW for the past week I got 21 messages at 4 in the morning from different phone numbers asking me to join the World Cup event. The World Cup has already ended what is this. I woke up in the middle of the night from a hard working day to this it disrupted my sleep. I blocked ALL 21 numbers. Just so the next day they can do the exact same thing the next night. I am tired of waking up in the middle of the night by 21 messages, I have replied stop to all and proceeded to block them. All I wanna do is enjoy one night of sleep, yes I have turned off my phone just to wake up to the same 21 messages and to my wife getting mad at me for not being able to pick up our ,son at 3am from the air port. This is the reason why I have my phone on at night in case of an EMERGENCY. 21 messages to download some St00pid app. Please i hope this company never succeeds because the way they do things is horrific. I have co faceted then and I have yet to get a response..Version: 0.5.1

Enabling Contacts= NotificationsI had read some reviews and had thought that by allowing contacts, the app wasn’t going to notify everyone on you contact list. I got the app and enabled contacts, and the next thing I know my uncle called and said he had gotten a notification for this app. I find this really annoying- I think it would be better if the app only invited people you wanted to invite. Update: To clarify, I allowed the app to have access to my contacts, and that’s when it sent a text to my uncle. I find this annoying because even though I let it have access to contacts, that does not mean it should use my contacts to send notifications to whoever it wants so more people find out about the app. Also, I did not think it would send a text to him, as I never invited him individually. Basically, it sent him a text without me knowing for no better reason than I had enabled contacts. Even if it’s a good app, I don’t feel comfortable knowing that it could send a text to anybody I have a contact of without me knowing..Version: 0.3.1

STOP TEXTING ME!!!I only downloaded this app so I could write this review. Stop f¥€<ing texting me. I’ve never use your app and I don’t know anybody who does, and I don’t want to keep seeing your text messages come onto my phone saying that somebody has complimented me or other BS. I think it’s funny that I see people post snapshots of your texts on Facebook saying that it is sex trafficking trying to find people LOL and while I don’t think your company is that devious, I am tired of getting text messages from random numbers trying to get me to download this app. Your sales tactics probably work but I was annoying as fuc I think it’s funny that I see people post snapshots of your texts on Facebook saying that it is sex trafficking trying to find people LOL and while I don’t think your company is that devious, I am tired of getting text messages from random numbers trying to get me to download this app. Your sales tactics are annoying and make me hate your app. 1 star- LEAVE ME ALONE!!!.Version: 1.1.1

IdkOnly here for masterroyyale @PeashooterGOT.Version: 4.20

Stop invading privacyFirstly I will say that the interface it cute. That’s the only nice thing I have to say. This app says that my friend “nominated” me when everyone I know says they didn’t. After I was sent a download link through my PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER and I downloaded the app to see what it was, my family members began receiving texts saying that someone had “nominated” them. I see that MANY other customers have had this problem and all the developers say is “that’s impossible”, as if they don’t understand that glitches and bugs are real things that exist and instead of ignoring their customers, they should check into it. It makes me feel like it’s all a ploy to get personal information. Who needs an app to plan things with their friends anyway? There are already several ways to contact each other and in my opinion this is useless. If I thought it was just a free harmless app then I wouldn’t say anything but these random texts are annoying as well as the fact that they are essentially sending them to YOUR contacts THEMSELVES without YOUR PERMISSION. I do not take kindly to that. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS APP FOR SPAM AND INVASION OF PRIVACY..Version: 1.1

No VerificationI attempted to try both the phone # and email but nothing happened. Not impressed.Version: 4.16

MisleadingThought there would be a function to find groups and groups in your area. This is not the case. This app has no purpose that can’t be found with other, better apps.Version: 4.18

Do not downloadGet a better growth team..Version: 2.0.7

SketchyThis app seems like a spam approach for exposure. I got a random message from an unknown number with an anonymous compliment in the app. I had to download it to see. I thankfully did not enable access to my contacts, but other commenters mentioned that this app sent messages out to their whole contact list. Even after requesting the complimenter’s identity was not shown, which made it even weirder. I also don’t know anyone in my friend group with the app, which makes the compliment seem like a trick to download and give info. Also, I just saw a post on social media yesterday that this app might be used for trafficking and it would not surprise me with how weird it was. I deleted my account pretty quick. It didn’t feel safe. I’m sure the creator had decent intentions, but it just felt sketchy in practice. I would not recommend..Version: 1.1

Love the idea, needs a big boostI love the idea of this app! It’s exactly what we need right now. But it crashes and has plenty of bugs, and also it really only works if everyone is on it. If you solve these two aspects then you have a great product. Please try!.Version: 2.6.4

LNo code.Version: 4.14

ThanksI’m only here to get more gems for my game😩.Version: 4.13

Please don’t fall for this app like I did!Originally, I thought this app sounded like a great idea. I saw it was a top free app on the App Store, and I downloaded it. I created a profile and everything, and the app looked really neat! I think it’s a super good idea and the app itself is actually very visually appealing and easy to use. Then, I took the time to read some of the App Store reviews, in which negative the dies were cleverly hidden between positive reviews, all of which the game developers had responded to- to show they cared. I saw the reviews that said it was a scam and I started getting scared. I have adults and my friends parents in my contacts, I didn’t want them to get an invite that I didn’t send! I went back to the app, and the “invite your friends” option seemed legit, so I wasn’t too concerned. But sure enough, the next day my friend asked me if I sent her mom an irl invite. I was mortified! I can’t even imagine getting a social media app invite from your daughter’s friend! And to think of all the people in my contacts, including my Mom’s adult friends and a doctor!!! I really hope the developers realise that those invites they send out WITHOUT permission aren’t just going to teens..Version: 0.2

No codeI try to put my address or my phone number but it’s simply don’t work I don’t have any code …..Version: 5.3.0

AdsThe Ad made it seem like the feature where you can turn texts to memes, can be used on imessage, that is not the case. You can only use it on this app. Disappointing.Version: 4.35.2

I did not consent to being contacted with a text messageThis app is a scam and what they are doing is illegal. According to the FCC’s TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act) regulations, it is illegal to automatically contact a customer over text or phone call without their explicit written consent. I was not given any sort of clear and conspicuous disclosure that I would be contacted by the company providing this app’s services and I will be reporting this app to the FCC for violating the TCPA. In case the developers are not aware of what “clear and conspicuous disclosure” means, here’s a list of what they need t do before they start automatically testing people: Identify each specific company to whom consent is being provided Identify the consumer’s phone number Indicate a clear and affirmative agreement (i.e., I agree/ consent) Disclose that the consumer is authorizing the seller to engage in telemarketing (i.e., to receive offers related to the seller’s products or services) Disclose that the calls will be made using automated technology Disclose that the consumer is not required to provide consent as a condition of purchasing products or services Obtain the consumer’s signature (either electronically through E-SIGN or handwritten) None of these things were done and I am livid. I have now been texted several times, which means that my information was disclosed by another person without my consent. I am livid and I will be reporting this app to the FCC..Version: 1.1

Nope!My daughter just received a text message stating someone had issued her a compliment in IRL. In order to access any information, WHICH SOMEONE ELSE HAS ALREADY PROVIDED, you need to download the app and continue to dish out more personal details. For young teens to be contacted by social media and asked to share information like their school name, birthday, name, etc. When someone has already passed along her phone number is alarming. I do not know what was said about my child. I do not know if it was done with maliciousness or kindness but I do know that it encourages other kids to give up information about their peers to lure them to the site. Not ok! Whatever process was involved it was started without her consent or mine. This could prove very dangerous going forward. Not for my child..Version: 0.5.1

👎No codeHi, I tried everything my phone number and my email but I never received my code even deleted the app and got it again a week later and still didn’t receive a code when I tried again 😠.Version: 4.36.0

Spams your contacts! Do not downloadFound a weird text message and researched the url, and ended up going to the App Store to see what was up with it. The reviews seemed oddly good considering what Reddit and the rest of the internet had to say about it. Someone claiming to be the creator responded to the first post on my Reddit search, and wrote about a page talking about how on the up and up it was. How companies can get away with this I’m frankly so surprised. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. I downloaded it to do some more research into what it was, and about an hour later my friend texted me about this weird spam text they got. Guess who? IRL. We have only a few friends in common, and the person who received the text doesn’t give their phone number out to anyone except their friends. Make sure to report them if you get the chance..Version: 0.5.1

TerribleThis app is actually terrible don’t get it.Version: 4.2.0

An app with potential, but unusableIRL presents itself as a influencer friendly discord: server based systems with a live chat feature and event organisation. However, it is plagued by unusable lag, constant glitching, and perhaps it’s most damning feature is that it is effectively unfinished: in comparison to discord, it has no moderation, no structural roles - which make servers extremely insecure. There is no ability to search for anything, and the whole idea of having followers is no more than a gimmick. In reality, the app tries to be more than what it should try to be, and as a reality feels poor and is irritating to use. The only reason for its popularity comes from paying influencers to create servers. If the app was to refocus its efforts in a server based moderated system which was simple to use and not buggy then it would be a great addition among the ranks of discord and the like..Version: 3.5.3

STOP SPAM TEXT MESSAGES!This app has texted my personal cell phone for days now! This app takes information from one of my phone contacts and sends text message spam to users on their contact list. It’s ridiculous! I really don’t care how good this app is or what it does, the fact is that this app will without your knowledge, send spam to your contact list. When you use your contact list in the app IRL gets all your contacts. Do you really want your family to get spam all the time?Look it up, there’s already been complaints online about this. I do not give my phone number out often, and it’s unsettling that an app I didn’t even sign up for can use my information from one of my friends. I don’t even know which friend! Who knows if they sell this information to other companies/organizations. This needs to stop..Version: 0.4.1

Couldn’t even make an account man😭I put in my email and my number multiple times and didn’t even get code at all maybe it’s a glitch? the ad looked cool and sounded fun but couldn’t even get to use it 👎👎.Version: 4.16

Sad timesIt wouldn’t send me the code.Version: 4.10.1

Wants access to all my contacts.I’m sorry, but what you’re saying about giving only access to the contacts a choose is a lie. The only option to select is “contacts.” After reading all the comments about peoples contacts are being spammed with messages about your app and seeing that you can’t move on without selecting to give access to my contacts; was enough for me to say no! I’m sure the app is great and all, but I’m not ticking a bunch of people off just so you all can get more subscribers. Remove the option of having to give access to my contacts and I’ll consider trying again..Version: 4.35.2

Girl plsI’m just here for aya 🙄🤚.Version: 3.1.14

I did not consent to this app having ANY of my information.This is the sketchiest app I have ever seen. You get a completely anonymous message about a “nomination from a friend” that forces you to download the app and agree to give all of your information (contacts, location, school, etc.) just to see who out of the people you know was foolish enough to send you a scam. All it takes is one friend agreeing to give out their contacts for IRL to have your phone number without the consent of the owner of the number. This is a breech of my privacy and whoever sent me the nomination’s contacts’ privacy. Not to mention there is no “skip button” to go ahead and see who sent you the nomination like they’ve said in previous comments and in order to get in to the app you have to agree to their terms of service that is essentially just one more step to them having permission to access your information. Based on all of the other comments I’ve read I’m just going to get an email link in response, however I do not even want to directly give my email to this shady company. I thought that after all of this business with companies stealing information that people would be smarter, but I suppose I was wrong. Moral of the story kids, if you have a device that can get this app, you have a device that you can easily message your friends to make plans. Do not give this app access to all of your “friends” and contact’s phone numbers..Version: 0.4

Enter at your own discression igTried to make an account with my email and it said “Phone is not enabled for your country, please use…”. I can’t even click to read the rest, as far as I can see? Might wanna make that an option so people know what to do EDIT: Worked two days later, but the app is incredibly laggy and it takes forever to switch the page you’re on. Maybe it’s because I was in one of the bigger groups, but still annoying. The community is also. Something, for sure. The app also didn’t ask for permission to access my photos before i added a pfp as far as I can remember which is kinda sketching me out. Overall very strange experience, keeping my rating the same. Good luck to the devs.Version: 4.30

ConcernedI saw an ad and downloaded it .. work perfectly and was insanely fun to use with my family and friends. Which is why I gave it 3 stars- Have not used it for a few days come back and it is completely changed …it’s now a group chat all you can do is pick a group to chat or follow where they disabled the comments. There is no option to create your memes with your words like before. I deleted it and reinstall same issue and I am not able to get back to those options, only the group feature I did not sign up to use group chats. Not sure if it’s a flaw but don’t like being tricked or lied to..Version: 4.37.0

I struggled with thisI just didn’t get what this app did or why you needed it to help you organise a real life event. I thought it was about meeting new people with a similar interest but it seemed to be about txting your contacts to meet up. Plus it forced you to enable location/notifications before you even knew what it did.Version: 1.2.2

Never link this to any sort of work calendarLooks pretty on the paper but experience wasted by aggressive acquisition strategy... I had the bad idea to connect include a work calendar that is linked to my personal calendar and it messaged every attendees of all my upcoming work events to let them know that a “chat thread had started to support any conversations happening around the event”....Version: 2.0.5

ScamI’m going to just point out the obvious, this is a scam. why? well just allow me to explain. usually developers for one like to act like they care about the stuff you say, so they respond to the reviews but only to get more of your personal information. the only contact source is through a sketchy email. secondly, I have a block list from all these random numbers saying “you have a compliment!” and only way I can see it is download the app. sure, my age group is naïve enough to be like “what I have a compliment? I need to be more loved!” and download the app. that’s how they hook people from specific groups. how can they tell? the information your friend gives them when they illegally go against privacy policy. they claim some “news” network presented their “company”, but if they get paid enough money people; they WILL sponsor someone. don’t forget, this world lives off of money nowadays. if this comment is taken down and you read all of this before it happened, I promise you it’s to keep their imagine and hide these “rumors” from you. don’t be a dummy and give them your information..Version: 0.5.1

Fake appSo I get the same verify code EVERY TIME so when I enter it I get incorrect code so I’m NEVER using this until it’s fixed.Version: 4.13.1

MoneyOnly hear so I can unlock rewards.Version: 4.14

SpamI didn’t know the app existed. None of my friends have it, and no one that could possibly know me have it. I randomly got a text in “Messages,” saying someone I know said Hi. Then it sent a bunch of links to their app, and said find out who it was. I knew it wasn’t a virus from the link address, but I asked everyone who it could’ve been if they knew about it. No one knew what it was about. I wasn’t aware that an App Store app was allowed to send advertisements to random people on their personal phone number, to try and make them download their app, by pretending the person has friends who use it and want to talk to them. I wanted to rate them zero stars for a lack of proper tactics of recruiting new people for their cult. But since I can’t rate them 0 I decided 1 was good enough..Version: 0.5.1

Anonymous Compliments too SketchyHello, this app looks nice. I’d actually play with it more if it didn’t seem sketchy as all heck. If a friend wants to “compliment” me, I need to know which friend it is. This is a matter of privacy. The company has stated they hold back the name of the person who sent the nomination because they want to keep their data private. This disregards the fact that by not telling you who sent it, you are invading my privacy by stealing my phone number and texting me without consent. If you simply tell the user who sent these nominations, I won’t feel so scammed. As it stands, the fact you don’t makes this sound incredibly sketchy. Until this is resolved, I am marking this down as “spam marketing” and will have to report it in a few days..Version: 1.1.1

BadIt is trying to scam people in human verification.Version: 2.4.4

App is retardedThis app is dumb.Version: 2.4.4

Privacy InfringementThis app allows people to give it your number so it can send you texts you don’t consent to. It allows the developers to crowdsource phone numbers of people where they like it or not. I never would have given this app my phone number but that’s okay because my “friends” did it for me. They have my first name, last name, phone number, and where I go to school. Somehow this is worse than the Cambridge analytica scandal just because I didn’t agree to have my personal data given up. The developers of this app have created an absolutely ingenious way of harvesting phone numbers without people’s consent. I don’t know how this got into the App Store, but it’s a blatant infringement on people’s privacy. It allows the developers to download your whole address book without the people whose numbers you’re giving out’s consent..Version: 0.4

This is kinda funnyIt certainly was entertaining reading the vastly different types of comments to this app. Oddly enough there is barely any person who hates on this app for any reason other than them saying its a scam. There's not many apps that dont have normal issues that customers will rage at. Plus the positive reviews all sound pretty much identical. Additionally, it's pretty easy to simply read the terms and conditions which basically claim they have the right to store and use your information and you can't sue them for it... Nice idea and I'm sure a lot of people fall for it but there is pretty much no reason for you to need this much information and to not even let people use the app without giving information on their contacts... Basically: 99% sure this is a scam. But it was certainly entertaining to read about. Bye bye now!.Version: 0.2

I’m tired of this stupid appI have never downloaded this app. I didn’t even know what it was until I got a text message for it! I replied back “STOP” and it never did. I’ve gotten well over ten messages at this point, each one from different numbers. I keep blocking them but they continue changing the number to get around it. This last time I replied stop even though it didn’t tell me to and 3 seconds after it sent, I got another one with a gif this time. I’ve already reported this to Apple, im about to report it to my cellular service and I’m changing my phone number. It’s sad I have to go to these lengths to be left alone. Delete this stupid app, or better yet, don’t download it at all!! The same company had another app called Gather that got banned for the same reason, and rightly so..Version: 0.5.1

I wish I could give you 0 starsThis is the worst app I have ever come across in my life. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! This “update” they talk about allows you to skip some things but still requires you to give permission for them to access your contacts and location before you can view who the mystery person is that complimented you (which is super creepy to begin with). THEN it sends out a text to everyone in your contacts telling them they have also been complemented which is a SCAM to get them to download the app. I only ever downloaded it because I couldn’t stop the texts and was hoping if I could figure out who was “complimenting me” I could ask them to stop. Now everyone in my phone has gotten the same text I had gotten and I STILL don’t know who had my number and sent it to me to begin with..Version: 1.1

BuruejejHdhdjegdhdjd.Version: 4.11.1

Something Darker?I have literally never used this app once and honestly don’t plan to from the negative reviews I have read. Somehow I have gotten about 10 different invites from different numbers for this app. But the weird thing is that they were all different variations of he text and some links would bring me to a blank screen. I thought nothing of it and deleted the messages. I got a few more and decided to just ignore them. Today I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a post that said that if you received a message along the lines of the messages I have been receiving promoting your app that it is linked to a sex trafficking ring and that even clicking the link can give you all my personal information including where I am when I follow the link. I’m not sure whether this rumor is true or not but more people should know before downloading this app in case it is something potentially darker..Version: 1.1

Dangerous & outright ridiculous.If you got a text message with the invite saying, “someone complimented you” take a minute and think about how in the world someone could complement you when you’re not already on that app. Then take a moment to think about how the hell they got your phone number- basically don’t instal for that sole purpose. If you do decide to install I highly. HIGHLY. Suggest you read the privacy policy and terms of service on the first menu, asking you to ‘enter your phone number’ click those little blank links before you continue- they want to take all your info, your IP, your contacts, your personal information— that’s how you contribute to the constant spam emails calls and texts that go out. So please, think about it. Also think about how strange it is that an app developer opens a app for kids “12+” and wants them to fill out everything from their phone number to their personal location, schools, friends, contacts. Yeah that’s fishy- this info will most certainly be sold to third party, and that can lead you to a whole heap of trouble. Don’t download, I’m surprised as hell that apple allowed this app to even go public..Version: 1.1.1
