Pros & Cons

Privacy-first approach with a clear focus on real-life connections (friends-only network).
No ads or follower graphs, reducing noise and algorithmic manipulation.
Lightweight, simple UI with a fast feed and media loading for quick sharing.
Explicit emphasis on privacy and control over profile and notifications.

Lacks broader discovery features and media types (e.g., videos, public profiles) common in larger social apps.
Relies on location and nearby-device permissions, which may raise privacy concerns for some users.
Smaller feature set compared to mainstream social networks, potentially limiting growth via viral features.

Comments on Friendster for Android

Please provide more updates and more features. Might be better to bring back the old version of Friendster where we can add different backgrounds on our profile and more.

★★★★★ Samleon Clancy Samera · Jul 5, 2026

Okay so, I finally have my first experience of modern Friendster since I only heard Friendster from my mom and other millennial people back then as a gen z person. However, the app itself looks empty despite it's a private social media app No BS. this would be great if they can fully take back their throne from META due to terrible AI moderation and praising woke propaganda. I wish this app will be improved and add marketplace similar to facebook META. Great Platform Just Keep Improving It! :)

★★★★★ Jun Song · Jun 30, 2026

The idea is wonderful, & I'm not after some corny nostalgic whim. Users who complain abt having real life connections to add friends, or not being able to add random strangers don't get the point. This is how Friendster is different from other social networks- to connect w/ people who actually matter to you. If u want to have random strangers as new "friends" becus your main purpose is to have as much audience as possible to your posts, the other toxic app called f*c*book is already there for u

Need to improve the app its kinda boring and UI looks old I believe many people love Friendster because you can customize your profile, but now you need to buy premium to allow you to customize your username etc.

★☆☆☆☆ renz · Jul 27, 2026

Pleaseeee 😭 I'm on Android and the app kept crashing, so I reinstalled it. Now it only shows “Create Profile” with no “Log in” or “Already have an account?” option. But inside the app, there IS log out button. So you can log out, but you can't log back in? I'm scared of losing posts and friends. I linked my Gmail thinking I could use it to log back in, but it turns out it's only for notifications. Is this just an Android issue? Please add Google login. I really like this app but 1 star for now.
