Hey Sammy: Make New Friends

Edit: upon the developer commenting, I went back into the app to try again. The free trial is only 3 days and then you can either choose a weekly subscription or annual subscription. I did the 3 day trial to give the app a real shot. I selected every type of activity to see how many it can find in my area, and the only result was a run club (which I know for a fact is not the only thing in my area). I changed my review to 3 stars in hopes that the app will improve as it becomes more established, because I love the concept. But my true review? Still 1 star. OG: I was excited to find this app because finding new groups and events in my area is difficult. However, I am beyond disappointed to find that the entire app is behind a subscription-based paywall. The least they could do is offer a free trial so you can see if they actually have interesting events in your area prior to paying. They should tell you this before you fill out an entire profile.

Cool app, I like the goals section and the tips under the events. Had an issue with some of the events being in another state, and I currently can’t afford it. If I could afford it I think I’d be willing to pay $5 a month for the time saved and the goals. Obviously I’m not on the business side, idk how much it needs to charge to be profitable, just wanted to put it out there. Best of luck to the users and the maker!

I’m a fan of apps that help us spend less time on screens and more time building healthier habits! If you’re someone who has a hard time putting yourself out there, or is hesitant to try new things, this app simplifies the process and makes it less overwhelming! The red panda as an accountability partner is cute and fun, but the app actually has a lot of practical and helpful ways to help you follow through with trying out new activities and events. As someone who appreciates productivity/self improvement tools, I think Hey Sammy has a lot to offer and I’m excited to see how it grows!
