Locals: Clubs, Events, People

I’m in LA almost all events are flexible dates. Meaning they are not really happening. It looks like there are many bots too.

Would love to be able to use the app… not possible! I live in London but I have a french phone number. Without the number I can’t create my profile. Could you do something? Thx

I don’t really see the point of making this app « invitation only » based. There’s nothing exclusive about it. If it’s to get more users, this is really not a smart way to do it. My profile has been waiting for validation for over a month, it’s so ridiculous…

An app that stimulates minds and touches hearts; this should go global !

C’est sympa d’impliquer Natalia Vodianova pour la promo de l’application mais au bout d’une semaine après l’installation, mon profil est toujours « dans l’attente de validation ». Franchement, les gars, C’est quoi l’intérêt ?

Very easy and efficient process. Look forward to their events

Has potential, for now, it's wasted. There are some events, if you’re lucky enough to find them without an opportunity to filter and focus on your needs. Some “events” are nothing but a landing page for WhatsApp groups, I think this shows that the interface and the app, in general, are not working for their purpose. At the same time, you need to craft your profile page as if it is a dating app (and some random people will treat it as such, especially if you are organising events). - This app aggressively asks for updating: a pop-up message blocks everything, and it's seen way too often. Imagine Instagram or YouTube doing so. - There are too many “chat rooms” where happens nothing, especially offline. - Even when you are in London, if you are looking for a fun activity for this particular evening in your area, you will dedicate your evening to doom-scrolling through all these “Entrepreneurs connect!”, “27-29 speed-dating nights”, and “30-32 y.o. Desi women circle Notting Hill”. - If you create your event, you will accept dozens of requests to join but there is a non-zero chance that no one shows up. It's predictable and it's not about the app, but still. - No filtering, there’s no slightest possibility to focus on your neighbourhood or demographics. Many “communities” are extremely specific in their entry requirements, and there’s no chance not to have them in your feed if they basically don’t want to have you. At the same time, if you want to create something specific and local, there is no chance to target only those who are interested.

Suggestion: It would be nice to have a live chat feature to meet people nearby, similar to the Couchsurfing app. Someone suggested implementing a mandatory donation for every event, but I don't think that's fair. This could discourage many people from participating. I believe the decision to require a donation should be left to the host, as making it mandatory might reduce the number of participants.

Maybe I’m missing something… the app knows I live in Leeds yet promotes London & Manchester events to me. I’ve seen nothing for Leeds at all. So literally not “local”. So far pointless.

Guys, every time I open the app I see this blocking dialog. This is so ridiculous. Product and engineering team who designed and implemented it — you are absolute trash
