Making Authentic Friendships 17+

Feel conned

If I could give this app no stars I would. Trying to find friends for our autistic 16yo daughter. Was forced to pay £4.99 for the first month just to see how many matches were found. There was 1 person in our area who didn’t meet the criteria. There are less that 2000 people world wide. This business model will never work charging people £4.99 a month in the hope that more people join. The app itself is awful in so many ways. Very slow and buggy and doesn’t do the very basic things you would want. For example. You can’t set a filter on the people you want to search for ( probably due to the very low numbers using the app). It just makes friend ‘suggestions’ which has zero intelligence. It even recommended I should be friends with myself!! Utter garbage. Avoid!

Says 2 weeks Free - Still charged

Can’t even get into the app to see if there are even any matches close to me.
Pop-Up comes up with ‘2-weeks’ free and then options for annual or monthly subscriptions.
Chose monthly (as obviously don’t even know if this app will have people in my vicinity) but app tried to take payment straight away. So def not ‘2 weeks free’ - don’t advertise a free feature if it’s not actually available.
Would have been happy to pay IF this app was suitable, but can’t get into app to explore further. Disappointing.

Says two weeks free can’t get that tho didn’t even think this costed money friends shouldn’t cost money disgrace

Developer Response ,

Hi llklucy,

We are very sorry you are not thrilled with MAF. Our users happiness is of our utmost importance. We were web based for a year and a half, before we launched on iOS. That was free of charge. We also still offer a 2 week free trial for all users. App development and upkeep is VERY costly, so in order to keep up with it and continue to bring it to our users, we need to charge a small fee. We made it low so it can be attainable for most. Additionally, it can be covered by most state budgets as well. Thank you for your feedback and hope this helps.

Kind regards,

The MAF Team
