Twenty - Hang w/ Your Friends Reviews

by DustinS30

Twenty notifies people whom you’re “Adding” from your contacts and Twenty makes it seem like they already have Twenty ... NOPE. You are EXPLICITLY INVITING these people to JOIN Twenty . An app that you haven’t even used yet because this is in the setup process of Twenty . Twenty then sends these people a text message saying that YOU (it uses your name!) invited them to join. I just clicked “Add” to every name it suggested to just fly through the process, so I sent an invite to A LOT of people- including people I barely talk to (ex-girlfriends, people from class, family members, friends’ parents, coworkers, MY BOSS, etc. I was so embarrassed.

If Twenty says anywhere that you will explicitly be inviting these people, they definitely don’t do a good job of making it well-known. Hell, they should at least change “Add” to “INVITE”. It is very deceiving. They are definitely trying very hard to basically spam people to get as many people to download Twenty as possible using your name as their source of credibility totally at your expense. So unethical. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

I got Twenty after I got a random text saying that someone I knew had tagged me on their map. I then got another text saying that another one of my friends had tagged me as well. I didn’t really understand Twenty and decided that I didn’t really need it, as I had no use for it. I deleted Twenty but continued to get texts. They were all from various numbers that I did not know and they all said that ‘Me wants you to update your map’ or something of the sort. I don’t know how to stop these texts, I’m just hoping it will stop soon.

P.S. For those of you who are having the same problem as me ((getting spam texts and such) I am editing my review I posted a day ago) if you get a spam text, reply STOP. When I did this I got another text back saying that I had been unsubscribed. I am hoping this is the end of the spam texts.

If I could give it zero stars I would. I have never in my life left a review before but I felt Twenty deserved it. And I hope that users of Twenty read this before downloading Twenty . Twenty is absolutely useless. When I tried to delete my account with no option of recovery I got countless emails and text messages explaining how to deactivate my account saying “this will actually delete your account” well I tried it and it doesn’t “actually delete your account”. An app should always allow its users to delete their account with no option of recovery. And it should ALWAYS let the users know if they cannot delete their account BEFORE they make an account. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. This should be illegal. Everyone has a right to privacy and to decide what to do and what not to do with their personal information. Not allowing me to delete my account is violating this. I wish I would’ve never downloaded Twenty. I’m still emailing and texting them but they have stopped responding. Mappen be honest and straight up with users. Sincerely, a VERY angry user.

HORRIBLE APP. cannot stand it. only downloaded mappen because i got a text saying i had been friended. i downloaded Twenty , but after talking to her i realized that the text was fake and that she had just deleted Twenty . after speaking to multiple of my friends, we realized that Twenty had sent texts to all of her contacts, without her consent. i then deleted Twenty and have since gotten spammed with texts from my friend who DONT have Twenty saying that they have added me. if i could give it a word
we rating i would. Twenty did not work well while i had it and i do NOT recommend it. this experience was AWFUL and the people who created the program that spams people with texts should be ASHAMED of themselves. i warn you ALL away from this horrible app. run while you have the chance.

I kept on getting messages for example, “Y/N, you were tagged in ((location)) on Mappen. Log in to see where your friends are hanging out right now ((link))” So of course I have never actually downloaded it before not until after my friends told me to. So Twenty kept on ‘spamming’ me with texts/advertisements about oh so-and-so tagged you in *my current location*. So I am just kind of creeped out how it knew my name and how it knows where I go to school, or where I live, because I never put any of that information in before. So I downloaded it AFTER to see what it was about and it pretty much knew my contact I put in my own phone without asking me like, “Can Mappen have info. in your contacts?” So as you can tell I deleted it amediantly. Because I just don’t want to accidentally expose some of my personal information or other peoples’. Just please be careful when you put in extra personal info. and always watch out if they already know stuff you never told them. Thank you.

Ive used Twenty minimally and whether Twenty store lets this go up or not is their choice. But lets get started about this useless, terrible of an app. The main point of this is to unite friends when theyre near eachother and even for safety reasons if say a parent didnt know where their kid may be. Ok is a text not enough? Like it takes two seconds to literally text someone you dont need a map to do so or else what would snapmaps be for, as well that applies to the safety concern. Furthe i have barely used Twenty because of the most infuriating part of the reason i downloaded it in the first place which was because of the text message of some random person on my contacts getting a text saying i got friended. Are you seriously that hungry for buyers? Ive gotten atleast 20 notifications of texts this week from random numbers of yours which is outrageous and no other app goes to this extent to get people to get their app. It was unfortunate as well i couldnt give Twenty a 0 star rating. Hope you loved this review.

Don't ever text me again or i'll report you to the authorities and Twenty "Mappen" will be taken down from Twenty store for spam, illegal tracking, and an unsafe app. You have been spamming me constantly with texts even though I deactivated my account!!!

Twenty has absolutely no reason to be on Twenty store. It's not social media, barely any people are even on Twenty but those who are, better get off of it. There are creeps in this world, lurking on Mappen, searching for vulnerable children. Twenty is a very bad app. You don't even get paid for running Twenty , Mappen makers. Someone could easily sue for a child easily being kidnapped. Twenty only allows you to be on it if you allow full location access. This means that if you don't allow them to ALWAYS see where you are at all times, then you can't use Twenty . Stupid app idea. Major, major safety issue.

I got a text message from a random number saying I’d been friended on Twenty. My first thought was: “What kind of app lets you friend people before they’ve downloaded said app?” So, to stop getting text messages I downloaded it. Then on Twenty I get a notification saying people from my contacts were also on Twenty . So it goes through my contacts. And me, assuming that it’s going through the people in my contacts who are on Mappen, I press “yep” because I thought it was like a friend request or whatever. And now, I have several people asking me “What is Mappen?” Someone in my contacts actually sent a review to Mappen saying and I quote: “Y’all stop stalking innocent children” someone help America because Twenty is more of a weapon that could be used in World War III then another Snapchat.

Twenty is seemingly a wonderful idea, and looks well made. Despite this, it has a major inconvenience due to the fact that it SENDS A MESSAGE TO ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS ONCE YOU MAKE AN ACCOUNT. This is not only embarrassing to the person supposedly sending the message but unprofessional of Twenty . It is convenient to be able to send invites to who you want, but that should be OPTIONAL. I received one of these texts saying multiple of my friends invited me to join Twenty . I downloaded simply to see what it was, but later found that more people from my contacts had been sent the same message without me authorizing it. It was embarrassing to me and it is a terrible awy to try and expand an app such as this. I do not recommend even downloading Twenty, and I especially do not recommend creating an account.

Ok, I don’t usually write reviews, but I feel like I have to. I would have rated this 4 or 5 stars but the way they advertise it is scummy, deceptive, and just not morally correct. The way they get you on Twenty and get your friends/contacts on Twenty is they send you messages from people that they think you know saying that they tagged you in a photo, even though there isn’t a way to share photos in Twenty , and when you click the link they just take you to Twenty . I thought it was from Instagram but it was just for Mappen. There wasn’t even any pictures. Twenty itself would be much better is they didn’t try to trick people in to downloading it. Woah that’s a long review.

Thanks for reading!

Note to Mappen: I guarantee you know what you’re doing, so please stop. 🛑

Twenty is very good as a start, but you must remove the 3 Gifs when The user launches Twenty for the first time, because when i get it I don’t need such a thing which doesn’t represent a professional app, while its good and funny as part of a commercial.

The structure and design are beautiful, but need to work on the the options the user have and what may he think about what to do with his friends, and specially the number of friends.

As a team focus on what’s next and what can we do.

It’s a pretty cool app that I use a lot. I like how when you get a notification that you get a notification you can react without having to enter Twenty . It’s very safe, only people you add can see you. It’s also really easy to use, no weird settings, it’s all really simple. It’s cool how they use emojis all the time. If parents are skeptical about it being like a social media, it’s not. The only use is to see what friends are doing, where they are, and if they are safe. And the best part is that there are no adds. It’s over all a really great app, and I recommend it.

Twenty is awesome. It lets you drop a pin on your favorite places to go and easily tells you what your friends are up to. This lets everyone easily be able to see who is free without having to sit around and wait for a reply. You can make quick and easy plans with all of your friends in a matter of seconds!

I got all my friends to download it, and we used it to send out one mass invite that everyone can see. It’s easier than sending a text that can get looked over in a groupchat. I definitely recommend it!

this app is going to save our lazy world! No matter what age you are, communication is always a challenge. Especially when it comes to social events like the high school football game, college bar crawl, or work softball game. People are lazy and inconsistent when it comes to communicating with large groups, but that’s where this app comes in. It’s so simple, so user friendly, and so convenient to connect with you friends and take the hassle out of events. I highly recommend Twenty if you are social and want the best way to become more social.

I used to use a different app to know where my friends and family were at, but it used too much of my battery. Mappen meets the same criteria (and more) without draining my battery. The new game feature is pretty entertaining to drop bombs nearby my family and friends...except somehow I keep losing. ;) The kids keep getting me before I can deactivate/remove/cleanup the item. Fun feature.
It is also cool to recommend your favorite locations to friends and family. Great app, and very comforting to know that your friends and family are where they should be, when they should be.

Twenty seems so good I have not used it yet but I can already tell that’s its a good idea for an app. People keep on complaining that they keep on receiving texts or notifications well...Have any of you guys tried turning notifications off? I mean if you’re so bothered by the texts or notifications just go to your settings and disable them it’s not hard...Try it!

If it does not work then it’s pretty sketchy how you would still receive texts from random numbers and I think it’s a pretty devious way of slipping under the radar Notification wise.

Not sure what some of the fuss is about! Twenty is such a great way to interact with your friends all over. You can easily hit them with a “WYD” or “let’s meet up”. It’s also SO convenient for big group hangouts! All you have to do is invite people on Twenty , no need for giant mass texts with people who might not know each other, or texting loads of people individually. You can also directly message through Twenty . Love love LOVE this fun way of bringing people together for real face to face interactions :) really is a great way to facilitate technology to bring people closer. I’d recommend Twenty to everybody!!

I am obsessed with Mappen. It is really important to me to know my friends are safe and to let them when I’m nearby to hang out. It’s also extremely helpful for the friends that say they’re on their way over but haven’t left their house yet. It’s incredibly easy to use, only uses emojis, and resets every hour. It will ask you to add friends, which automatically sends them a text message when you add them. That’s helpful for adding new friends to Mappen, but I’ve found that a personal invitation is much better to connect with friends. Try it out for yourself and see how great it is.

Mappen is an interesting app, I would recommend it to all trying to make plans with friends over the summer, or to parents wanting to see what their child is up to during the day. Twenty us good to help kids when there board, kind of like when I am bored I go on there and I add to my status that I am board, and some friends will text me and we will have a conversation. The only reason Twenty got 4 stars was due to the frustration it caused when I was trying to figure out how Twenty worked. Overall it is a great app and it helped me hangout with my school and soccer friends multiple times this summer and because of that I would recommend Twenty to all. Thank you for reading my review!

I’ve been using Mappen since Twenty came out in 2017. I used it a couple times while living in DC, but it was still buggy at that time. Since then, I’ve watched how the developers have adjusted Twenty and made it more useful.

Mappen does a great job letting you know that you don’t have to spend your Friday alone on the couch watching the Office on Netflix for the 63rd time. It gives one notification on Friday night that tells you to get out of the house. After opening Twenty , you can decide to go out and invite your friends without that “what are you up to?” text (I know you’ve sent those texts, don’t lie to me 😜). It makes getting out and being social that makes easier, because you have had plenty of Friday nights watching Netflix.

All in all, huge improvements in the past few months!

Mappen is an app that has the potential to undo the negative social effects that have derived from previous social media. It encourages and facilitates the process of meeting up with your friends IN REAL LIFE. From its locational map homepage to its event planning tool, Mappen makes hanging out and checking up on friends a breeze. Twenty organizes friends and events in a way that is easy to manage (but, like anything, could still use a few tweaks), creating a social platform that users can smoothly operate. Furthermore, “friends” on the Mappen app are ACTUALLY the traditional definition of friends as it promotes interpersonal relationships between connected users. I especially loved the function that lets your friends know “I’m Okay.” Like I said before, Mappen can be the social networking app that brings people back together and ultimately betters the social aspects of today’s modern world.
