Reciproc8 is temporarily pausing operations for a major architectural overhaul!
To pave the way for our next massive phase, we have placed the app under active construction. Starting with this version, active features will be temporarily unavailable and users will meet an "Under Construction" screen upon launch.
We are completely rebuilding our core infrastructure and UI/UX to bring you a faster, more seamless experience. Thank you for your patience while we do the heavy lifting. We can’t wait to show you what’s next!
2.11.0 May 17
We added content moderation to help protect the trust and respect that makes this community what it is. Reciproc8 is built on the belief that what you have to offer matters and now the app does a better job of making sure every interaction reflects that.
More good stuff on the way. In the meantime, if Reciproc8 has helped you make a meaningful connection, drop us a review; it helps others find the community too!
