Review summary

Users appreciate 'Locals' for its innovative idea of connecting people to local events and communities, especially in major cities like London and some in Poland. However, the app faces widespread issues including bugs, slow performance, poor UI/UX design, unreliable location filtering, intrusive permission requests, and functional limitations like inability to delete messages or use one account across devices. These problems significantly impair user experience and accessibility. Despite these drawbacks, some users acknowledge the community value and hope for improvements with ongoing development efforts.

2025-01-12	Ro*****	This is a useless app unless you live in New York. I found nothing within my state. Everything was New York or LA and that was it

2024-11-30	Mo*****	Bugs, bugs everywhere. Laggy scrolling, event cards move out from the screen area.

2024-10-21	Na*****	Update: the app no longer works due to Android system version, even though technical info here states it should work on Android 10+ Great idea for the app but it's glitchy. I'm not able to verify my account, not able to add LinkedIn, events information is split across the screen. Unclear why the app doesn't work without GPS. Also very slow

2024-09-08	Ar*****	The app constantly requests permissions which it doesn't need. And when you reject the permission it just shows the popup request again and again blocking the UI.

2024-09-02	As*****	The events, messaging, and profiles are a bit clunky in terms of interface and bugs. However, the community is a great place to find events and connections for just about anything you can imagine. The transactional portion of the app also leaves much to be desired.

2024-08-03	D *****	Why is it showing me events in a completely different location? I live in London, my location service is on, I have granted the app permission to use it, I have entered my location as London, but still seem to get endless results in Warsaw?? I have never even been to Poland, I don't know why these would ever be relevant for me.

2024-06-20	Ro*****	Good idea but awful implementation. A lot of bugs, lack of basic functionality(you can't even delete dialogues or messages), I sent bug a couple of months ago to the support team and it's still not fixed. Looks like no one works on the app but just do marketing in order to sell subscriptions. Upd: some of the issues I solved with support directly so I changed my rate from 1 to 4. But still.. guys, please fix the issues and implement functionality asap. It's critical for the app.

2024-05-13	Al*****	Bugs: on my huawei p20, when i write in the chat the keyboard comes up over the text field and I can't see what I'm writing as long as the keyboard is up. also the app is very slow, whenever i accept people in my event it takes about 30 seconds until they the app processes the action, whenever i tap to see a user profile it takes about 20 seconds to actually display the profile. updates didn't make any difference

2024-04-21	Ni*****	There are just so many annoying things in the app: scrolling events, because they're shorter than my screen, after certain point I can only see the top of one and the bottom of the other, so I have to constantly hold my finger on the screen to view the event fully; background music for some events that I can't turn off, so when I open the app, it plays super loud pop music; force update: I mean, can't the app designed so I don't receive this constantly, it's just a bad UX practice.

2024-02-18	Li*****	So hard to navigate! Love the idea but once you sign up to multiple events, it's impossible to open them all filtered by the date. And after the last update, it shows me events in different countries..... Waste of time sadly.
