Friender: Make New Friends Reviews

by Meltchafaceoff

I downloaded Friender and for a few days I didn’t pay for it, I wanted to see how it worked. Then decided to pay just for one month. After I paid for it it stopped working. It kept saying it couldn’t connect to the internet when I tried logging in. If I was logged in it said it couldn’t connect for me to update my preferences. I’m disappointed with Friender , I deleted it and my first month still has two weeks left on it.

I down loaded Friender and began to create a profile. I uploaded 2 pictures and Friender froze. I closed Friender out and restarted it and it came back up to the same screen I was on it froze and then crashed not long after. I was never able to finish creating an account so Friender got deleted from my phone. I question the performance of Friender if there are so many problems when setting Friender up.

Friender worked for me for maybe a few months and I bought a 6 month subscription, then it stopped working and asking if I wanted to subscribe and wouldn’t let me use Friender as a subscriber with those features. I deleted it and thought I’d unsubscribed, but then, even though I no longer had Friender , I got charged for another 6 months. I tried to contest this on the Apple Store and I sent in two complaints on Friender itself saying it didn’t work, that either it should work or I would like my money back. I never heard back and I never got my money back. Such a waste of $36. Don’t waste your time and money.

I heard a lot about Friender online and I was really excited. My boyfriend and I moved to a different state a couple of months ago and we’re both having a little trouble finding friends outside of work. I thought this was going to super awesome. Unfortunately it turned out to be a super bummer. Friender keeps crashing and won’t let me do ANYTHING in it. I have my name, age and profile picture all from Facebook. It’s pretty disappointing to see that they “regularly” update Friender but the last one was 5 months ago. 🙄🙄🙄

Don’t download! Look at the hundred of recent reviews: it will obtain your personal information via Facebook, let you download some photos, and last crash. If you read the privacy policy, it basically says it can provide all information (birthday, name, photos, email address, and even CREDIT CARD INFO) to third parties even after you delete your account. Not a trust worthy app!

I want to like Friender, I want to use it, but I can’t. I just got Friender , try to sign on using Facebook: “error 502 internet connection”
I try to sign on using google: “error 502 internet connection”

My internet is fine, it’s Friender that’s terribly broken, I can use every other app to its fullest, and my connection is solid. As I’m reading the rest of these reviews I doubt any of you who work on Friender cares though, I see nothing but 1 star reviews, and until my issue is resolved, you have yet another one from me.

What a joke! I can’t even get signed into anything. So stupid. You should be able to sign up with your email first off and I tried to sign in using both google and Facebook...neither worked. It redirected me to Facebook/google and then back into Friender , loaded for about 2 seconds and then said there was an error. Wish I could give this less than 1 star. Get your crap together y’all. Friender doesn’t work, either figure out the bugs and fix them or get rid of this.

Saying Friender is glitchy would be an understatement. I can’t even finish setting up my profile because Friender is frozen & literally won’t allow me to move to the next step (typing a bio). At first I thought it was my phone but then I restarted my phone, deleting & redownloaded Friender , and everything else you could think of. My phone is fully functional but when I go to Friender it’s completely frozen. I also saw tons of other reviews expressing similar frustrations.

I took advantage of the free trial and forgot to cancel before I was charged. Now, I supposedly have the premium service until October, but none of the features are available. Customer service got in touch with me via email saying that the issues would be fixed. 2 months later and nothing has been done! Not to mention that I can’t update my profile, I’m unable to see my matches or message anyone. I just basically paid for nothing. So, learn from my mistake and keep your money!

by Allnicknamesfkntakenfckoff

Friender is constantly crashing. when creating my profile it kept telling me i can’t click next because i HAVE to type about myself, simple enough except every time i try to type, it crashes and i have to reload Friender . did it 5-10 times before i just deleted Friender . don’t download unless they fix this god awful issue. would give 0 stars if i could.

I can’t edit my profile at all. Friender freezes every time I try to add a little bio. It won’t even let me access my bio to type something. Also won’t let me, as a woman, filter so that I can only see women to friend, but it WILL filter so I can only see *men* to friend. I don’t want to gain male friends, I want other girl friends! Very annoyed. Loads of other bugs. Why use Friender when there are a 100 more just like it and with way better reviews?

Live in one of the largest metro areas in the US (top 15, anyway). Am not a troll, unique enough to be interesting, but still relatable. Went through once with no luck, then did a test. Deleted account. Made new account. Swiped right on every single profile in a 30 Mile radius. Two weeks later, still no matches. Without active users across a wider range of ages and interests, Friender is useless. Maybe time for a media push.

I downloaded the apps and was going to sign up but it requires either Facebook of Google+ both of which I don’t have and refuse to use. Seriously! Not everyone uses social media platforms. Especially in 2021 after all the censorship by big tech giants. It’s a shame. I’ll find another app that doesn’t require these platforms to sign up.

by Icantfindafreenicknamewhy

I tried for a good few days to sit on this site and make some friends. Maybe a week? I even sucked it up and paid for one month of premium. But I’ve had no luck. Maybe it’s just me. That’s whatever... but I also noticed a lot of people on there aren’t active. I actually saw a super
Old account of mine I thought I got rid of! So who knows how often people get on

I found Friender online, and the reviews were great! However, I can’t even get past setting up my account. I got past adding photos, and it’s telling me to write a bit about myself. When I click on that section, Friender freezes for about 10-20 seconds and then closes out. When I open it back up, it goes to the same thing and repeats the same process. If I press next to try to skip the section and complete that later, it tells me I have to fill it out before continuing. How do I even get past this to use the actual app 🙄

by Wsu1872

Friender is a great idea. We have so many apps normally for hookups or dating. It’s nice to have the opportunity its to use one to make just friends....

However. When setting up an account t once you get to the second step and start to type up a little something about yourself. It tends to shut down and continues to do so no matter how many times you refresh your phone and you cannot continue so it needs a little work.

Friender ’s functionality is perfect. The UI is horrendously clunky and broken.

Selecting your birthday takes at least 2 minutes, as you have to go through each calendar month to get to the right year. On top of that, Friender does not handle the screen size of the iPhone X well at all, and controls are often hidden behind the status bar and inaccessible. Things are also laid out pretty poorly, causing a lot of clipping issues for content.

Developers, PLEASE look at a UI redesign, it looks like the was a rush to get this out the door as soon as possible without much thought to user experience at all.

by Samoretz

I have been looking for friend-making app like this. It recommend people from different places, which helps to make varieties of friends much broader. I can choose people that I find interest and message them to meet up later. Friender is my favorite social app to date!

by SRC42069

I downloaded Friender several months ago and couldn’t remember why I deleted it and decided to get Friender again yesterday. I uploaded my profile pictures, and then went to the next step; writing about myself, and Friender just force closed. Ah, I remember now, Friender doesn’t let you move past the first step. This has evidently been an issue for MONTHS at least, I wonder if it will ever be a working app? I would love to try it one day if it were to work :b

I just moved to a new city and absolutely love the idea of being able to meet like-minded people. I’ve been waiting on an app like this, and now it’s super easy to swipe and meet up with people who are into my same hobbies and passions. Love this app!
