It’s a personal app to connect with friends states away and such a great midweek pickup. I’m in my last year at UCLA and am scared of feeling disconnected with my friends after college. I find Wafflr to be a great app for me to keep up with my inner circle of friends and get a glimpse of their week! 2 minute videos of updates feels like I’m on FaceTime with them and topping the waffl off with a few pictures lets me see moments of their lives I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. The weekly notification in a way forces everyone in our friend group to post a life update and it’s a great reminder to reach out to loved ones. Highly recommend!!

I found myself struggling to keep in touch with some friends once I went off to college, besides sporadic texts in group chats. But this app completely changed that! It’s super easy to use and perfectly regimented to incentivize catching up with people regularly, but not in a way that feels like a chore. You can be very creative and have fun with your weekly videos. Getting to see how my friends spend their weeks and hear them share their emotions so I can check in if need be has been so invaluable. And none of it would be possible without Wafflr.

I always knew college wouldn’t last forever, but I didn’t expect it to feel so lonely once my friends started graduating. One by one, they left—some for jobs across the country, others for grad school, and a few just got caught up in life. I was still here, walking the same campus, eating at the same places, but everything felt different without them.We all promised to keep in touch. At first, the group chat was buzzing with updates—new apartments, funny work stories, the occasional “I miss college” rant. But as weeks turned to months, the messages slowed down. Calls became harder to schedule, texts went unanswered for days, and I started to wonder if this was just how things went.Then, one day, I found Wafflr.It seemed simple enough—film a two-minute update on your life, post it to your stack (our private friend group), and watch everyone else’s updates whenever you had time. No pressure to be perfect, no waiting for replies, just life as it was, in small, unfiltered moments.At first, it was just me, awkwardly filming short clips about random things—my morning coffee, a funny thing I overheard on campus, the mess I made trying to cook dinner. I didn’t expect much, but before I knew it, Wafflr had brought us back together.The group chat might’ve gone silent, but our stack was alive. Every day, I got to see little pieces of my friends’ lives—nothing fancy, just raw, everyday moments that made them feel close again. We started responding with reaction clips, inside jokes layered on top of old ones, and suddenly, it was like we had our own little time capsule, growing day by day.One night, I got a Waffle from Arne: “Guys, I miss you all. Reunion this summer?”The replies came in fast—smiling faces, cheers, countdowns. And just like that, our first post-college trip was in the works.College had ended, but thanks to Wafflr, our friendship hadn’t. We weren’t just keeping in touch—we were still living our lives together, one two-minute update at a time.

I have so many friends from home that I care so much about, but all of us are spread around the country in different time zones and it’s so hard to keep in regular contact. Texts just don’t scratch the itch and I am sick of the curated perfectionism of social media. We started doing these weekly two minute videos a couple months ago and we’ve honestly never felt closer. It’s so easy to do each week and it not only maintains friendships but helps deepen them in the simplest way possible. I have my entire circle on it now!!!
