Comments on Vicinity for Android

★★★★★ Edward Surgener · Nov 23, 2025

Works perfectly fine for me. New to this big wonderful chaotic city and it's nice to be able to socialize with people who also live here. However, the location issue I did have at first but, still able to use it, so it's fine. Great app man!

★★★★☆ Taavi Rübenhagen · Feb 18, 2023

When I try to sign up with Google, it does nothing, with Twitter, it tells me that JavaScript is disabled for this browser (I'm still inside the app), and when I type everything, it just shows a never stopping loading indicator. Please help.

★☆☆☆☆ Ian Kampine · Nov 16, 2025

Given that I can't sign up and am hard-faulting on location perms access for signup... you vibe coded everything and didn't bother to pay attention to the limitations of your APIs didn't you

★☆☆☆☆ Jason D · Nov 6, 2025

Not ready for public release. Even though I gave the app full, precise location permission, it can't find me, so it won't even let me sign up. No other app has this much trouble with location. DEVELOPERS, do not ask me for anything, I do not work for free. My advice is to not cut corners during QA. Actually test on real phones. I write these to warn others, not to help you.
