SweatPals 12+

Love this app - it really fills in the gaps left by other platforms (ie: Meetup, Facebook, WhatsApp) traditionally used to build community/events/social engagement in the fitness world. The best part about it is the group chat feature which allows event attendees to participate in a shared conversation long after an event has ended without compromising user privacy. I’ve met many new people after attending SweatPals events and it’s been an invaluable resource for folks who are new to a city and trying to make new friends!

Hooray! We're so happy that SweatPals is filling a gap in the fitness world's social scene! We're tickled pink to hear that our group chat feature is a hit, especially because it keeps event attendees connected after the event. It's like a virtual after-party! And we're glad to hear that our app is helping folks make new friends, because, let's face it, making friends as an adult is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Thanks for taking the time to write your review!

Like this title says it’s like meetup but for specifically fitness related activities. Great way to meet people interested in similar things as you and get into new activities you haven’t tried before.

The one reason I’m not giving it a 5 is the events on here are no where nearly as large as the app implies. There’s a functionality on here that allows the user to select “Going to this event and all other in series.” This is nice in theory but in practice people hit this button then completely forget about the event.

The result is you may see 40 people signed up for an event and only 5-10 go. It would be nice if they got rid of the going to “all event series” button and just sent a reminder notification or something about the events. It’s frustrating expecting 20 people and only 3 show up.

Thanks for the review, we're glad you're enjoying SweatPals and meeting like-minded fitness enthusiasts! We totally understand your frustration with events not being as large as they appear on the app. We have taken your feedback about the "going to all event series" button into consideration and in the next update, users will have to RSVP to each event individually!

Thanks again for taking the time to leave us a review and for your great suggestion!

It’s a great concept, but there’s lots of glitches that need to be fixed. Pages are very slow to load and when you refresh or open a new page the top buttons disappear. It’s also hard to look back at previous events I went to. I was trying to connect with people from an event I went to yesterday and had no clue where to even find it. When I did, the page just didn’t open at all. So much for that. I also think it would be cool to be able to see who from my contacts is on the app that I can connect with.

Thanks for your great feedback! We're glad you like the concept of our app. We apologize for the slow page loads and glitches you experienced. We'd love to get a screenshot or a recording of the loading screen that you are experiencing. It would be so appreciated if you can email it to us at hello@sweatpals.com. Our team is always working to improve the user experience and your feedback helps us prioritize what needs to be fixed.

As for connecting with people from past events, this is in our next month's update! Please expect that in three weeks. Additionally, being able to see which of your contacts are on the app is a great suggestion that is being added in the next three weeks as well.

Thanks again for your suggestions! We will do our best to make the app experience smoother for you!
