User Reviews for Hey! VINA - Meet New Friends

Few suggestions

- One thing I did notice is that blocking someone doesnt work?- Also, there is no block list so you cant even go to see who you’ve blocked/ unblock someone (if blocking them was an accident). ~ Example: it showed me my Facebook friends who are also on vina. I simply wanted to block one bc even tho I have her on Facebook I dont want her as my vina or for her to see me on there. I want NEW friends. So I blocked her (or so I thought) but when I go to the “add vinas” section on my profile SHE IS THERE under Facebook friends. I shouldn’t even be able to see her. I go to click on her profile to block her and my finger slips and I make her my VINA.. but no biggie I’ll just undo it, right? I go to her profile to block her and it gives me the option to..It will kick you off their profile like you’ve successfully blocked them but they are not really blocked. ~- ALSO would be nice to see all the “Hey’s” you sent. To also have the option to take back our “hey” would be great too!

Have patience y’all!

First of all, the app is FREE. Don’t want to pay for the extra features? Don’t’! Nobody is making y’all! No wonder some of y’all don’t have friends you’re stubborn and ungrateful lol The developer of the app need to make their money too! I for one find the app very interesting. After downloading it last night I already matched with someone and we’ve been chatting. I feel like this app is brilliant and has soo much potential. You can plan dates, it even GIVES you IDEAS for dates, horoscopes and cute quizzes to take. Mind you, the. App. Is. Free. It’s also beautifully designed. Ive only dreamed of an app like this but never knew there was such a thing. One thing I will say is that it would be great if the app had more promotion like an add on Instagram, Facebook or even a commercial to get more people to use it. However so far I’m grateful and look forward to meeting new friends. Thank you developer for caring about us women that find it hard to make friends! You definitely took your time with this one 💕

Has Potential Just Not Fully There Yet

I downloaded this app, but it seems confusing to use. I’ve done all the quizzes and tried to meet people, but it’s just not working for me. I’ve only gotten a few matches and I would say most of these profiles are inactive. I actually saw one of my friends being listed as in my area when I know she moved to another state a year ago, so the app isn’t keeping track of people’s locations. I also saw another girl who was here last year for an internship and moved away after that period. There’s also not enough pictures of the people so I don’t know if they are real or fake accounts. I’ve had on and off issues logging into my account. Also it seems like people on here just want to chat and aren’t interested in actually meeting up. I’ve talked to about 7 or 8 people and tried to get conversations going. I even said to multiple people I’m interested in meeting and they just say they are, then nothing really comes out of it when I actually ask to meet up. Disappointing app. Probably going to delete it soon.

Really wish you all would update the App

This app has a lot of potential. But there a few problems I have. This app is for WOMEN, and I’m seeing that there are a lot of shady profiles coming up on my feed. I think to avoid talking to creeps (men posing as women), maybe there can be a way you can verify yourself by taking a real photo. These suspicious accounts only have one photo or it looks like all the photos are screenshots that are from someone else. Also, I am not getting the notifications for my app when they are clearly turned on, I end up missing out on messages from other Vinas. I see that the developers haven’t had an update for this app I’m over 7 months. Not sure if they’re still working on it or not ? Other than that, I really love how the app lets you create meet up events and activities to meet other ladies in person. I hope to see more from this app

Poor App and Service

I love the concept behind this app, but the app itself and the service behind it is not acceptable for a paid subscription. The app crashes quite often and the ways of sorting out the types of people you see are very limited compared to similar platforms.I’d tried the free trial they offered for VIP and it ended up rolling into the next paid month; however, despite being billed for the immediate month my VIP disappeared after the free trial ended and when I contacted support, we went through several days of them telling me to basically hit the refresh button (which never worked). I lost an entire week of the month I paid for, and they never even contacted me to tell me when the mistake was resolved. I just logged onto the app later to find I miraculously had VIP again.The VIP subscription is not worth getting in current state. I’m actually surprised they are offering it to the general public for how unrefined it is.

Great app but some bugs to be worked out!!!

I love the idea of this app. Especally for the area I live in, it is super hard to meet people outside of your work circle. So, excited to start meeting new friends! However, at one point it said that I had 106 heys so I was so confused with why I only had like 3 matches. I started swiping right on almost everyone and only got like 3 more matches. Then I looked at my "Heys" and I only had 46, so something is super buggy with the app. As well, I got a message from someone inviting me to go to an arts & crafts fair but it seemed like it was about a week late as the fair was the weekend before. Then I responded to the person and have received nothing back. Please fix the bugs!!!!!Also, I don’t like that I have to sign in after every update like it doesn’t remember me. I accidentally hit instagram to sign back in and it wouldn’t let me go back to sign in through Facebook. That is annoying. Please fix these things!

Inauthentic

The personality quizzes use a lot of #girlboss language and aren’t clear about what you’re choosing. One question was forcing me to choose between “yass queen” and “slay” for affirmations and another assumed all options for travel were these big expensive places. I was misgendered constantly even after it asked me who I was. There’s no option to be okay with friends from any gender, but specifically there’s no option at all to be non-binary looking for other non-binary people. I was connected instantly to a group of 5 but only one person spoke beyond a hello and I wasn’t sure the other people were real. The app has a real millennial, rich girl, sad minimalist aesthetic but no questions or connections that mean anything. I felt like I was at a company party for an abusive #ladypower start-up. This app doesn’t really seem like it breeds the kind of community I’d be comfortable with, but honestly any women meeting up from this don’t seem like they’ll have very genuine connections either. Also, TERF vibes. Why only advertise to women and non-binary people and continue to call the non-binary people ladies? Why emphasize the female empowerment aspect over a woman’s personality? I’m all for my and your rights but at a certain point it feels like something else is going on.

No Other Options Outside of Social Media

Initially I open this account with my Facebook profile. As of January 1, 2019 I decided to delete all forms of social media. Since then I have not been able to log into my account and there is no option to login via email. I met a 3 people. It does give the option upon opening the app to sign up FB or IG which I CHOOSE to have neither. It also says “sign up and get notified when we have an alternative”. It’s probably been like that since they first released the app and so I’ll ask, when exactly are they going to create an alternative??? I guarantee it’s been over a year since they’ve had that notification up there. And when they do, will it link up with my previous profile information? If by the end of the year they don’t have an email option, I’m just going to delete the app itself because it’s not worth having something taking up space on my phone that I cannot use. I’m glad it works out great for some though.

Pretty good

I love the idea of this app and have had some success meeting new friends. Like any dating app, I’m it works better in larger cities. In my area there just are not a lot of people using it, but I have gotten a few matches and have met up with one new friend in real life. One thing I would like to see is the option to set your home location rather than using Phone location. I keep getting matches from people who are not actually local but are just passing through my area and live hours away. If I was looking for someone to hang out with once while I was traveling that would be great but it’s not very useful if you’re looking for sustainable friendships. It would be great to have different modes for home and travel so people can choose which they are looking for.

Eh

So the concept is there. Meet other gals and find pals. Cute layout and easy to navigate. The downfall is that in order to see your “Heys” you have to pay. I have a suspicion that they withhold the other Heys for you to Hey back and get a Ditto in the algorithm. The first review is “hey be patient...” and there are others similarly written and can only guess those are fake reviews. I get that coding and company upkeep isn’t cheap, but there are better apps that are completely free and just as effective for finding friends.Give the opportunity to naturally Hey back with all ladies or at least give ladies a completely free trial for the first week or first three days, based on emails. If that were the case, I would have paid $6 for one week to hey back new ladies. Even if it was just once a month. Otherwise, this is a ridiculous app that is focused on money grabbing, not the overall message of make lady friends. I will be using another app because this one is disappointing.
