Awesome app

So thankful to the developers for making this. There are not a lot of resources for people who are Covid cautious, and this app is a major asset for people who are looking to meet others who still take Covid precautions. Some minor bugs here and there, and obviously not as many people on the app as some of the main social/dating apps, but overall an incredible app.

I keep hoping for an app where a true sense of community, mutual aid, and genuine care for each other is reflected.Yet keep encountering apps, servers, and relational spaces where the majority are just engaged in one long performance.In this case… a space where folks wear masks and take Covid seriously.Made up *mostly* of those who managed to not be impacted by anything too directly at this point.And rather than being grateful for this… are instead, focused on returning to some semblance of normalcy that either allows them to ignore everything else going on around them or continue to cherry-pick the causes they will vocally support.Which does not feel the least bit inclusive or like a place where safety, trust, and community can be fostered.Just a place where folks can bond over feeling superior that they have the resources, access, and ability to acquire masks, socially distance, and receive vaccines.When deep down, they’re aware of how utterly fortunate they are. And how many will never be afforded these same set of privileges.Lastly, anyone who feels it necessary to write “smartest person at the party” or “in the room”… or encourages this as a caption… is not someone I’d feel remotely comfortable reaching out to.

Thanks for joining early! Everyone can participate in the comments in the Refreshments Bar community forum - it asks for a username so you can choose a different name to go by in the community than on your profile. Once you choose it you are good to go - we hope you give it a try! You also have the option to let members connect with you directly in the Refreshments Bar, and our early growth will soon support new sections for Long Covid, Families, and specific cities. In addition, during our soft launch, everyone gets a three-month free trial of Pro. Please contact us at help@refreshconnections.com if you have any more questions.

This app is wonderful and I can definitely see the potential for long-term. I adore the creators for creating an app for Covid conscious individuals like myself. But it’s so new and it leaves a lot to be desired. I honestly believe keeping this in beta phases for a while with individual testers continue a lot longer would’ve been the way to go. My biggest pet peeves are: It’s really hard to find people via location searches. Finding a broad community is not an issue for me but really honing in on local community is something I really need, and it’s darn near impossible to find someone that’s not across the country. And with the new app upgrade it’s completely non-usable. I can’t login without an error message, and I can’t reset my password without an error message.

I’m so grateful for the efforts of this app. Being mindful and connecting us in different ways. It’s so helps seeing other people taking similar precautions. I know people are out there, but by nature, we’re often isolated. Loving this, and many of the features. It seems they’re taking a community approach on how to keep building out the app. I appreciate that.
