Wyzr: Meet Friends 40+

The claim the site is free but not if you want to message anyone.

I’ve tried a few apps to meet new people, but Wyzr stands out because it’s not about swiping or dating – it’s really focused on connecting with others through shared activities. I’ve met a couple of great people already and found some cool local events through the app. The setup is easy, and I like that you can verify your profile if you want, but it’s not mandatory. One small thing – sometimes it says there aren’t any friends nearby, but I just adjust the distance and find more options. Overall, it’s a great app for building real friendships and getting out of the house Wyzr has actually connected me to friends that I really like — whatever what a refreshing way to meet new people!

I can see this being a fun way to meet friends but one been on it for one hour and have encountered several annoyances already. There aren’t enough ways to explain who you are, what you like, what you want. Your are limited in interest choices, and the bio box is too short. You then get friend requests from people all over the country, mostly men, even if you put a closer radius and only want to make female friends. How many ways can I demonstrate I’m married without some guy 2000 miles away hitting me up for “friends”? If I wanted a dating app I would sign up for one. It’s a waste of time and makes me feel uncomfortable. And the song at the beginning of the app is unnecessary. Having the words merrily scroll across the page would be better than feeling like you are tuning into Golden Girls over and over. Or just the music, no vocals. I know this just launched and I hope the developers read these comments.

The portrayal of a specific group dominating social app ads, with only female token representation of other groups, always disappoints me. Despite this, I decided to give it a try, but as expected, I didn't receive much engagement from others.

I would like to use this app however it will not allow me to input my email address during the sign up process. Apparently any address with a special character is not allowed. This makes little sense to me.

It was disappointing that the app keeps showing my profile to people all over the country vs just locally. Aside from that I got flashbacks from dating apps which I just deleted. I am still a believer that building a connection happens face to face, and with your neighbors and people around you.

I really thought this. This website was a good idea for those of us over 40 5060. I did have trouble finding anybody in my part of the world so far—Alaska. However, now when I open the app, it says put in your email address and I do. then it says this email address is already used or taken. I think: well, yes, of course, because it is mine! So I can’t even get to a point where I put it in the password. So has my app been compromised or what’s going on?

I heard about this app from two of my clients and decided to give it a try. I’m a married mother and work long days. It’s hard to meet friends to go for breakfast or hang out with. I’m looking for someone low-key, and this fits the bill for me! Really proud of this and hope to see it succeed!

This website appears to be only a data collection source. As the people in it the majority are from California. Not sure why you have to submit your identification when it appear as though there are members under 40 on the app. The app also is like all other apps with a poor selection of people and many appear unstable and are unable to effectively communicate. I’ve had to block two people already and it’s been two weeks. I could only hope to give it a better shot to prove that it is a good site to meet new likeminded, people in my area.

Absolutely believe in this App—finally someone has recognized older adults need friends too! These founders are on top of it. I love what they have created & the fact that they are so committed & accessible. My husband & I have connected with other couples for Mahjong, walks & conversations. We also just used Wyzr Ride for a quick trip to Trader Joe’s—great idea!
