  • App seems glitchy

    The app is good for searching locally events, but there’s just a spinning wheel of death on the tickets and alerts tab. I can’t see anywhere to login on the home or search tabs. I had purchased my ticket online already, but I’ll just stick to using the emailed ticket and searching events online rather than have another app to manage.

  • Disorganized Disaster

    I want to leave this poor review in effort to make this business get the message and improve. They have something very special and important in today’s society in their hands, but their events are being poorly managed. I went to a “Love is Blind” event in Raleigh. I showed up a few minutes early and when I arrived the event manager told me the event would start in an hour. This event was held right in the middle of a crowded restaurant/ bar with the restaurant’s regular customers there as well. I talked to the other people who were there for the event for an hour and 20 minutes, then the event finally started. There was only two people who were blind folded- one guy and one girl. They each chose between 3 contestants. So, only 8 people out of about 60 got to participate in the real event, and they were chosen at random. Also, the room was so loud hardly anyone could even hear what the contestants were saying. They really should have brought a microphone. I stayed after the event to talk to the others, but unfortunately did not truly connect with anyone. I saw many faces of others walk out of the restaurant in disappointment as they came looking for love, but did not get a chance to connect with anyone. I would have paid triple for the real experience- getting to participate, hear the contestants, the event starting on time, and for the event to be held in a private room.

  • Good Marketing, Flawed Execution

    Thursday markets themselves pretty well, although the events leave a lot wanting. A lot of events have a high male to female gender ratio. I did go to one more balanced one however, so that’s not true for all of them. There isn’t any structure to Thursday’s events. They throw you into an artsy, (admittedly pretty cool) space with a bar, and then for 2 hrs, you’re on your own figuring out how to connect with people. It might work for other people; however, I’ve struggled to connect with people in this environment. The environment is loud with music in the background. A number of people are inebriated by alcohol. And there’s no prompt or initial reason to connect with others. I think this is one step better than dating apps. However, still a lot less fulfilling than doing your hobbies, building your own community, and finding your purpose. I also think there are better live dating events out there with more structure. I’d say be cautious of the good marketing. Judge something by what it is, and see if that’s a good fit for you.

  • Trash

    Your platforms have wasted my time, money, and patience. The Cannonball Singles Sunset Social on September 25th is being advertised in-app, yet the event was not purchasable through Fatsoma’s app. I was forced to go through the website instead. On top of that, I experienced broken autofill, login issues, and missing events — all while you continue to advertise seamless “official ticketing.”This is false advertising and consumer fraud. You advertise events in one channel, but fail to deliver tickets through it. Customers are baited into your ecosystem, then pushed into broken workarounds that do not function as promised.

  • They don’t have customer service

    I paid to go to a matchmaking AI event. Within the invite, it said if u didn’t get a match, you would receive a complimentary ticket to the next event. The host even took my email down. Never received this ticket. Tried to find their CS within the app and website. Couldn’t find it. Contacted their IG as a last resort and never got a response. As much as I enjoyed these events and even got my friends to pay to attend the events, after this experience I don’t feel comfortable spending money for another Thursday event again.

  • Better than the dating apps.

    I’ve gone to quite of a few of these events. The first few were all men, which made it awful for trying to talk to a woman. I felt like I was just adding pressure since they were already getting flocked to by everyone, so I end up not talking to them. But the last few I went to the ratio was a lot better. Made some good conversation. My only complaint is, please lower the volume of the music at these events. I’m there to meet new people and I can’t cause the DJ is trying so hard to make it loud. You don’t have good conversations by shouting over the music
