Alyke: Find Friends Who Vibe

Two main things I wish this app had was the ability to let people know who you are looking for. In my case, I was just looking for male friendships, but I get all kinds of requests from women (I’m married so I’m not interested). Second thing is I wish you could specify a religion. All it has is “liberal” or “conservative” or in between”. Otherwise, not a bad app.

I really like this app because you can make friends with people who have similar interests. The app layout is pretty much similar to Hinge, but with a twist. I really wish that you could specify a specific city you want instead of trying to find others around the US. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very useful, but if you're looking to make friends in your city, it is doable, but with a very limited radius, since it is difficult. I understand this app is relatively new. What could be improved is the ability to choose the city where you want to make friends, instead of a whole US radius.

I was really hopeful when I saw this app on an advertisement. It seemed like a cool platform to find other female friends. However, I gave it a shot and paid $40 for the month. Which seemed like a really steep price tag but I figured I’d give it a go anyway. The search function doesn’t exist. You can’t search in your location you can search in a 90 mile radius or the entire United States. There’s no way to be specific. You can’t tell who is a premium service user and who’s not. I sent multiple hellos and how are you’s, your hope looked amazing, types of messages to multiple female people and never once could I see where I sent them, if they were read, if they weren’t delivered, etc etc etc. Never did I receive a chat from anyone else (females or males). Save your money. This app isn’t worth it.
