222 Reviews

Would have loved to have attended an event and based my review on that, sadly my application is “still in review” and has been for quite a while, which is pretty frustrating. Looking at the other reviews here (as well as asking the 5 friends I was forced to invite also saying their application is still in review, and no word about any event invites) I’m genuinely curious if this is just for a select few to post about it all over their socials to pique interest for the rest of us. And if that’s the case, why ask us all to invite five friends during 222 process? From their ratings responses to others reporting that they are still in review, sounds like they have quite a backlog so why ask us to grow it more during 222 process? Not great practices at all.

Was excited to try 222 when I got an invite from a friend. Disappointed at the onboarding experience. As a new user you’re made to watch a 30 second cinematic cutscene, given an exhaustive mini personality test, only then to be blocked from proceeding until you invite 5 friends to use 222 .

I find this experience of being held hostage from after some investment of signup time to be quite annoying. The exclusive vibe of 222 initially drew me in, but I would prefer to try it out before blindly spamming friends with a random link. Only got so far as inviting 2 people before I deleted it.

Other thoughts:
I’m gusssing this 5-person minimum filters out people who have fewer than a handful of friends (i.e. you will likely end up getting more socially outgoing/extroverted people on 222 ).

If one of the goals is for people to get out and meet new people, that doesn’t seem to be setting up a diverse pool of folks to meet.

I was sent an event invitation and paid the fee in order to register for the waitlist. I was supposed to hear two days ago if this event was happening and where. I contacted support when I received no further information and was informed I would hear about it later that day; I still received no communication. If you are charging users a fee for the privilege to participate in your events, you should be over-communicating as to if the events are still on or not.

I have still not received communication day of the event if it is happening or not. I am extremely frustrated as a user that I have to drive any attempt at communication, especially when I have been charged a "curation fee." I would not have been heartbroken if not enough people has signed up and then event had to be cancelled; however, I am essentially held hostage to this event that may or may not happen tonight under threat of being banned from 222 . It is duplicitous to say it is the users' fault for creating a bad experience by not showing up and then providing no information about the experience in advance.

To me it isn't even about the money at this point, it is the fact a company is putting a timeline into writing and completely failing to meet the standards that they set for themselves.

222 requires you to sync your contacts, with no way around it. The customer service is a joke that blatantly lied saying I could skip by ‘adding a single contact’ which is not the same thing at all. In this screen there are no options to go back or close out so I had to take customer service at their word that my account had been deleted and could show me no valid receipts to prove so. Undoubtedly the information I had entered into 222 previously will be sold.

Wow! I was told I was TOO OLD to be eligible for this app’s experiences. Wow. I’m 45, what am I eligible for? Death? I guess they don’t think that “chance encounters” are for Gen Xers… or that people from different generations have anything to offer each other in terms of friendship, laughs, knowledge…. Ok kids, good luck with that!

I paid for a subscription and got about three invites total. One event I went to and had 40% compatibility with everyone there so I could do better making friends randomly, another invite that I turned down, then a third event for the an event that had a duplicate itinerary for the one I already attended. All invites revolve around drinking and going to bars, so if you don’t like standing around drinking, skip.

Won’t open and deletes the codes it has sent as soon as I enter it. And after waiting so long…

I’m deeply disappointed with how 222 handles its processes. After paying for a curated experience, I followed the cancellation process to "bail" within the one-hour window they specified. However, my spot was filled immediately, and I was told there were no refunds for the curation fee or the ticket price, even though I acted within their guidelines.

What's worse is that 222 charged me anyway, and their customer service was incredibly unhelpful. They gave me no options to rejoin or find an alternative, even though I was actively communicating and following their instructions. Their responses were robotic and dismissive, and they failed to abide by their own policies. I was even told my spot was filled within minutes of bailing, despite being within the given time frame.

The lack of transparency, flexibility, and professionalism made this entire experience frustrating. Their rules are unclear, and they refuse to accommodate their own shortcomings. I wouldn’t recommend 222 to anyone who values their time and MONEY.

The concept of this is cool but I swear a man that’s never been able to plan a successful date must’ve made 222 because this is the most last minute thing. You get notified barely 24 hours ahead of time that there’s an event to sign up for - then even if you rsvp and pay you aren’t actually signed up and confirmed yet (which they don’t tell you until after you paid). It is less than 8 hours away and I still don’t know if I’m going … giving me trauma to terrible hinge dates. People should be given at least 1 week time to sign up and 24 hours in advance tell you you are going and where. People have lives outside of 222…

Was quite disappointing, like they told me maybe 7 hours before the event that I was not chosen, which is ok but when I tried to cancel maybe 12 hours before they said I would not get a refund? I feel like the last minute notices when you give them your money to hold your spot is sketchy. There is a guest timer that starts and restarts leading up to the event and it seems really unorganized. The concept is cool but didn’t play out well, I will be returning to meetup, not as “cool” but not as deceptive.

So I downloaded 222 but for some reason when. I start it and put the verification code it says error ocurres at the top and I’ve been trying to get in, I do want to give 222 a shot :)

This is totally my vibe. Love the idea of surprise meetups with likeminded people, especially as an introvert. But after I enjoyed the whole onboarding questionnaire, I was disheartened that it’s basing matches so strongly on age. Who says people of wide age ranges can’t have fun together, learn from each other, and grow as people? Alas, 222 should be more up front about being exclusively for young extroverts. I’m 43 and not only did it flat out reject me simply because of my age, but it also told me I share an archetype with less than 5% of its users. That’s sad and tells me 222 is failing to do exactly what it promises - connect people together in ways that get them off their phones and enjoying real life, without succumbing to friendship or dating apps. Such potential. I hope it has a chance to evolve so I can be part of the experiment.

I think 222 has really great potential the only downside is that it should be optional to contact or send 222 to friends with the 3 prompt questions. Those questions should be about the user. We don’t need to unnecessarily text our friends 222 . Please make that part of the sign up optional.

I met a lot of interesting people through this app place. I think over time its going to get more and more precise. and effective as the curators get to know the cities a little bit better. Personally a lot of it was night life, and that can be very difficult to manage, so I would recommend more daytime and afternoon events for people to opt into.

You’ve got nothing to lose, 222 is super cute and the experiences are unique & well curated. I’ve been to two and will continue to join more when i’m able. I highly recommend you give it a chance! It’s a cool concept that’s very well executed

The people I’ve met so far have been really cool, it’s a really nice was to discover the city and make friends, kind of a unicorn project imo and I fully support the system

I have been on 2 experiences so far and really enjoyed meeting new people! I am new to New York so it's a great way to get to go out, meet new people, & see new places. You pay a fee to subscribe & can choose the duration. When you get an invitation, you might pay an addition (discounted) fee for the actual event venue. Events are pretty spontaneous (1-3 days in advance) and 222 doesn't reveal all information to you at once, which does make it alluring, a bit mysterious, and fun. It's worth a try for at least 1 month subscription!

If you’re curious about this app I would say try it. It’s a really unique way of meeting friends. I’ve used bumble bff before and hated it but this is completely unique and the best part is there’s no awkward small talk or shifting through matches. Everything is completely curated and done pretty well considering how new 222 is.

Get 222 if you want to change your life by meeting new people you never would have met before!

Definitely recommend. Places could be crowded or loud but you will have a good time as long as you like to meet new people, eat good food, have good drinks, and have fun.

I was skeptical when getting 222, but after my first experience I have become a walking ad for them. I love the algorithm and experiences 222 offers. It is honestly such a fun app. As long as everyone holds themselves accountable to not bailing 222 is easily one of the best on 222 Store. 10/10 recommend.

I continue to rave about my first this app experience, as I’m not sure anything could top this. Met a group of 5 for brunch in west village NY and brought a +1 to feel more comfortable. LOVE the fact that you meet 5-6 other this app groups when you do the next activity, our was at a bar. We all felt like old friends and it was easy to find our group as we were in one section of a pretty empty bar. We then ended up bar hopping, doing karaoke, and going to a rooftop until 3-4 am. Had a 3-day hangover but it was worth it and so fun to see the night take us in crazy directions! It is better than any other NY meet up as it’s not dating-centered, but it is men and women, which is great. Most NY groups I come across are just women. I don’t know what it is but after my second experience, you don’t get as open, friendly, fun, and adventurous people anywhere else too! Thank you!!

Not a app. Better than that

Honestly an amazing idea for people who fight loneliness. I tried it when I moved to nyc and didn’t know anyone. not only i felt like it helped with my anxiety / fear of social interactions but i also met my closest friend there. It truly works and you will have an amazing time trying new things :)

I think 222 is exactly what the world needs. I love the concept. It’s so hard to make friends these days, but 222 is the perfect solution. It’s so much easier than using something like Bumble BFF, because people are less likely to bail, and it’s a group setting so it’s not awkward. And you don’t have to plan anything, you just show up and have a good time! I’ve never heard of anything else like it. I can’t stop talking about it

I went to one and met someone who I brought to another this app with me. I ended up meeting my new group of friends here that I love going out with. Algorithm works great and there's always individuals with similarities no matter if it's the first or second event of the night

222 is different! Honestly you don’t know what to really expect going in, however, if you’re looking to step out of your comfort zone and take a leap of faith 222 is that! I really hope to see this last in the long run of things! I never had a reason to be on my phone or disconnect from my event it felt great to go to an experience and be in the moment!

this app, has been an amazing experience for me. Finally, I can meet people that have things in common with me and there’s no the pressure of a 1 on 1 date. You are meeting 5 other people in your group + other groups as well. Typically you’ll get along best with who ever is in your group. I downloaded it for dating + making new friends. It’s great everyone is around my age, (25) the activities are based on what I love to do. I love it! There’s no pressure of photos matching you up but just personality. 10/10 recommend!

Absolutely amazing App and a wonderful and unique way to connect 👌🔥

This feels like the start of a really profound way of socializing via tech. Highly recommend; stay curious

Honestly the best experience I’ve had since covid

i would highly recommend using this to meet new people!

My encounter with this app has been an intriguing journey into a social networking platform that takes a different approach to connecting people. Unlike others, this app focuses on analyzing users' personalities, preferences, and interests to facilitate connections that go beyond mere surface-level compatibility.

The user experience on this app is straightforward and secure, with an interface designed for effortless navigation. It prioritizes user privacy while aiming to foster genuine connections. Whether you're introverted and seeking like-minded individuals or extroverted and looking to expand your social circle, this app provides a space where authenticity is valued.

One aspect that stands out about this app is its commitment to inclusivity and diversity. The platform welcomes users from all backgrounds and walks of life, fostering a sense of belonging for everyone. Whether you're passionate about environmental issues, technology, or the arts, you'll find a diverse community on this app.

This is an amazing experience to get out of your comfort zone! Make amazing friends , see new places and just all around have an amazing time!! I’ve been 3-4 times now and everytime it just gets better and better and better ! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for 222!! And I wish it was in Texas for my friends!!!

I was shocked when I saw how well I was matched with the people at my dinner. We had so much fun at the dinner so we decided to go to the bar that this app had teamed up with for the night. Overall I know I will be doing this again and help me meet more people since I just moved to LA!

Upon opening 222, I had zero expectations, but to my surprise, I was met with a beautiful sensory filled introduction to the this app place app with organic visuals and nostalgic music, paired with synchronous vibrations from my phone. I’m looking forward to using it soon!

Wow, just wow. Kudos to the developers.

I’ve been attending these events regularly and have made so many IRL friends! It’s awesome. This is a positive step towards our resistance to zuck tim apple n bezos. ✊🏽choose chance

this app allowed me to meet similar groups of people in my area and experience fun night life activities! Would definitely recommend

This kind of app forces you to break free from social media and meet people in person and have real authentic experiences

i found this app a few months ago and i’ve gone to a bunch of experiences. i heard about their app launch and i’m blown away by the design. the video introduction and haptics are sooo cool

It’s a non cringy way to meet people irl in 2024. What more could you ask for. Not to give out free promotion but truly love the concept and I recommend to everyone even just to try :)

Love the interface and the experience

What an epic way to reframe modern social

changed my life

I can’t say enough awesome things about this app! I was super nervous about attending my first experience - I had just moved to Los Angeles, and hadn’t made any real connections yet. I felt stuck, going alone to bars and spending my time trying tinder dates.

My friend introduced me to this app, and I got on their texting list (no app yet!), and ended up going to my first experience the week after. It was super fun - we went out to dinner, and then all went out together after.

It’s awesome because everyone there is trying to meet new people, and you have a place - you have an assigned table. Even better - you’re matched with people at your table who are similar to you, based upon their personality questions and algorithms! I sometimes feel nervous going to social events - who do I talk to - and this app solves that by matching you will people initially.

The people at your table become your first friends of the night - you know them now, so you can always talk to them! It’s almost like continuing social proof as you then can go out and meet other this app people on your own, or even easier, with your new friends!

I made an awesome new friend group through this app, and can’t be more grateful. This is exactly what is needed today - in person connections in a world where we are all stuck online!

I’m leaving this review in the hope that someone like me reads it, and decides to go on their first this app experience. It made me nervous initially, but I am beyond happy to have done it.

Title says it all but this is a really cool experience to go to these dinners and bars, meeting new friends. Fun to go alone fun to go with friends and I love a lot of the restaurants and locations.

Met a good amount of people that I’m still in contact with long time after this app. It’s special and a great way to put yourself out there.

it’s a great concept, and a wonderful way to get people to get out there and enjoy other people. it’s so hard to meet new people outside of work or school as an adult, and this is a great way to do that. I love 222 and so far, every experience has been a lot of fun.

It can be a hit or miss thing. First event for me was fine, but I didn’t click with anyone. My second event was great! All six of us clicked and we started a group chat! You never know, but I think it’s a great idea for an app. It’s so nice to get to meet people like this 👍

By far the best app I’ve seen to make real connections. Online meeting and matching, making connections is a serious business and this app realizes that by really finding the pain points of the users at the minutest levels.

I was finding it hard to meet people after graduating from college last spring. Saw an Instagram ad, really fw’d the “no swiping, just say yes” idea, gave it a shot and super happy I did. Met some really great people and one of our groups have hung out several times on our own thanks to this app bringing us together

I’d rather socialize at a this app event than swipe on a dating app any day of the week. Thank you guys for making this

Btw if you read this , some suggestions:
- please let me choose to have my plus one sit at another table. I pref going to the dinners alone but still wanna bring a friend to split the cost
- please expand the types of places after the dinners. Would love to do things like rock climbing or skating etc with everyone

Really is a good app for meeting people and socializing, curated around your personal interest and character. I’ve met quite a few great people within a month. The effort put into it definitely shows.
