The Breakfast: meet new people

Basically a dating app, except worse UX

I’ve been on this app for about a year in two of the most populated cities in the US. I keep the chancing round switch turned on daily, but it only finds a potential match every other day and in some cases every three days. I can count on one hand the times that it found a potential match on back to back days. This is a thinly veiled way to stretch out your membership fee. Because of this, I’ve had breakfast with maybe one or two people a month with a match that showed mutual interest or didn’t flake on me. Not really worth the money.

I’ve never left a review for an app before, but I think is worth it, in case anyone else is in the same situation as me. I’m in a secure relationship, so I was looking for platonic female friendships—women who genuinely value sisterhood and aren’t just using friendship as a placeholder while recovering from their last breakup. I came across a physical flyer for this app and thought, Wow, this looks interesting. The layout, the tagline—everything pulled me in. I was sold. I understand what they’re trying to do, but in reality, I haven’t matched with a single person I’d actually want to be friends with. Also, only receiving one match every 24 hours feels incredibly limiting, especially for a paid subscription. If they want to charge users, they should offer more than that. I ended up canceling my subscription, and I won’t be using this app again. I’m genuinely disappointed. I wasn’t sure how the app worked at first, but I hope they eventually figure it out—not for me, but for someone else who might download it hoping for real, meaningful connections
