The Nudge

Almost every single text I get from the nudge is always alcohol related, which is really annoying for people who don’t drink alcohol, and it sends me multiple activities, both of them are either bars or some other drinking experience. Because of that, it is almost impossible to do any activities that the nudge sends me, and makes it useless to have the app if all it sends me are activities that aren’t friendly for everyone.

I was very excited to sign up for this when I moved to Brooklyn and won a free year of premium. However, in three months I’ve only found one or two things to do. You can tell who they want their clientele to be because when they asked me one day to select what part of Brooklyn I lived in to get suggestions, the only options were areas like Williamsburg, Bay Ridge, and Greenpoint — if you don’t live in an expensive and trendy area, you don’t exist to them. I regularly get restaurant suggestions for Michelin star places and wellness retreats at luxury spas, despite choosing options that suggest I’m looking for affordable and creative things to do. The style is all done in influencer tktk-style videos that show transplants overpaying for things like potato chip bag bars, very obviously touristy or gimmicky. And the influencers don’t feel genuine.

Posting here as feedback since I don’t know where else to go with this. My phone won’t even let me log in the the app, I type my number and the keyboard blocks any other action I might be able to take—can’t hit enter, can’t move forward, nothing. It’s really frustrating because I click on the links texted me and they just take me to this impassable login screen.

App doesn’t proceed after entering my phone number Using an IOS device

I had this for months, completely useless I might have got one good event/ activity suggestion and that’s all. They just collect data by asking million questions and suggest you nothing back… totally waste of money

I realized I hadn’t heard from this app in a long time, so I opened it and it made me sign up as if I never used it before. Then when I said no to premium I see that I can get one idea but everything else you have to pay for. It didn’t used to be this way, and I did several ideas from the app that were free and fun. I deleted the app. I can find this kind of content online for free.

The links from text messages that lead to the app are literally always broken. It's so annoying

The first thing the app does is ask for your phone number. You put it in and there’s nowhere to hit enter or return. It’s like Groundhog Day. It just keeps taking you back to the beginning. If this is a glitch, you might want to consider fixing it. Stat. Horrible and useless app.

Half of the stuff they send is for “Nudge Plus” only, which are paying members. They push really hard to get you to pay when I could just use Google. Then, when they do send free stuff, you are forced to download an app to see the “plans”. Unsubscribed

I upgraded to the premium subscription but can’t access the recommendations because the app is bugging. When I try to sign in with my phone number, there’s no option to go to the next page and login. Useless.
