This app is not for senior singles or anyone else. You can sign up for free, but are then coerced to buy a membership. They don't give you a few days to try it to see if you'll like it, you are forced the very first day you try it. Total BS. In response to Stitch spokesperson I am correct. I experienced your app first today. I filled all necessary information & was looking through the 'Champions' section at 2 people (both in another country) I tried to see another & was stopped.
Don't do this! Little you can do until you're verified. To do this they send a code and you take a pic of yourself holding the code, a weird process and not verification at all as I could take a pic of anyone holding that code as long as it matched with my profile pic. Why is the standard verification process used successfully by other companies not used here? You also have to pay a monthly fee for complete access. Very underhand for not making that fee clear in the first place.
The app doesnt even work. Just keeps saying error loading. But then i find out, after giving details, that you have to pay. All sites are free to join. Its the underhanded way of getting details and withholding the fee part, i dont like. To verify they want you to hold up a number in photo. What am i, a felon having mugshots taken? Ridiculous! Will erase the account i set up. Should be re named stitch-up
This phone app is the perfect compliment to the web based full site version. I have found it to work great without any bugs. Using this app is very easy and any messages are easily retrieved as well as smoothly browsing for any events/ activities, discussions, groups or reaching out to connections. For me, one thing that makes it preferable to the web based version is the ability to use my Google OS voice recognition on my smart phone when messaging someone which I can't do from my computer.
I absolutely love Stitch. I have made friends with people in my own city and people in the Uk and Australia and from all over the US. People I never would have met otherwise. You can learn new things online. You can play different games, answer outrageous questions and many other fun activities. I recently retired and was looking for things to do to stay sharp socially. Stitch more than fills the bill. Everyone is very inviting and accepting.
The app is very easy to use and keep up to date with activities, members, and events. It's also very easy to set up my own events and enjoy the full membership of Stitch. Stitch is a great community of connection and i can share skills I have and learn new things from other members!
I've been a member of Stitch for a year and it's a terrific way to meet friends in your local area. What's very unique about Stitch is you have the opportunity to set up events and invite people in a casual, laid-back setting. There isn't this stress and drama that's typical of dating sites because the emphasis of Stitch is more about building community and making new friends...give it a try ,you won't be disappointed!!
The app works well. Like many apps it takes a bit of time to work out how to get what you want. I find Stitch to be a great place to meet up with people of my generation who want to do the 'group' things that I like to do. And to find activities that I wouldn't have otherwise thought of. I would have joined years ago if I had known about it.
Stitch has been a life saver over lockdown. I've been a member for almost a year now and have made some great friends over zoom. I have been learning Urdu and creating a mosaic and have ran my own sessions on crafts and gardening. There is so much to do that I can't fit it all in! I'm looking forward to meeting my new friends when lockdown ends- we already have a weekend away booked and I will be able to restart my walks and gallery trips.
Stitch give options for over 50 lonely people with poor social life. I found this app very useful to find company amount neighbours and enjoy Sydney. I will change the negative actitud of some members when find out that limited members can organise events, nasty way to make you feel out of place. Also please update the old software that backbone this app is clamsy, slow and very annoy sometimes. Will keep my limited membership, perfect for my life style.
I get this is a totally personal experience, but I felt the Stitch experience wasn't necessarily for over 50s, but perhaps for over 60s and beyond. I attended one event and I was the youngest by a long margin (I am 54). The majority of events were scheduled for weekdays. I still work and will be for at least a decade. So it seems to be geared to retirees with time on their hands. Not necessarily over 50s.
I retired 18 months ago and joined Stitch 12 months ago, just before Covid 19 changed our lives. I've found it a great way to meet people and make new friends. Most of all its been a great way to find people who want to get out and do things. If the activity you want to do isn't listed you can host an event and immediately find like-minded people to join in. Obviously not everything on offer will appeal to you, but you quickly gravitate to groups doing things that you have wanted to do more of for ages. I've done quite a few dinners, drinks and live music events - but I've also been to a lot of active events like walks followed by coffee or snorkelling followed by brunch.
I completely signed on, created a profile, told them I was looking for a male veteran to share my home for companionship. I thought it was a free service. They give you 3 free people to look at, only the 1st 3 People were woman. To continue, I have to register myself with a picture of me holding a code they give me. They made everything so complicated! Even if I paid, none of the many people got my wants & needs. Best to just opt out. Looks more like a sewing circle club. OK for some.
I recently came across Stitch for people over 50 and looked into it. I am now a Pioneer and Champion that is someone that welcomes and helps new members as well as organizes in person events video chats groups and discussions. Stitch even has a Travel agent to arrange a large group travel together. We get to know people all around the world. I encourage people to check it out. It might take a little research to lrearn how to navigate but its well worth it.
I joined Stitch 6 months ago and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. You meet like-minded people through fun activities and share a laugh. Activities range from virtual world wide get-togethers to walks, dining at restaurants, visiting wineries, bowling, concerts, historical sites, and group discussions. I recommend Stitch for singles and people who want to connect. You never have to feel lonely or isolated again.
A Great App for 50+ looking for a community with global reach for making friends, activities in your area, on line discussion, groups of similar interest. I have had no problem navigating the app and Stitch is always supportive teaching. Worth your time it's secure with verifying members. A terrific social community. Find your nitch in Stitch!
Joining Stitch has been an absolutely delightful experience, for me! The fact that Stitch VERIFIES new members adds an ever-important level of security in a world with many scammers! I've have either met or communicated with both men and women who are kind, positive, fun, honest, interesting, diverse and absolutely high on life! It's not a dating site, but rather a platform that helps participants foster new friendships that can grow into romantic relationships. Love it! Glad I discovered it!
This site is bizarre & extremely overpriced. First, there was NO mention of a fee until after I created an account and profile. Nothing about it in the intro video. Turns out, this "non-profit charitable organization" wants $40 PER MONTH for their "standard" plan! Their "free" plan is BARE BONES and little more than pop-up reminders to upgrade. They claim there are lots of options for free. Where are you hiding rhem? $40 per month? That's hilarious.
Whilst the people on here are conversational, for me I found that there simply was not enough people of interest for me that I could relate with. There was a lot of older men and women and the topics of conversation for me were not interesting or diverse enough in relation to people and therefore mostly boring. There just wasn't a spark to generate a really good conversation as a free member. When I did see topics of interest I had to be a paid full member.
Stitch is about connecting people. It is a safe community with Andrew and his team, viglient in maintaining its safety, providing helpful guides, videos and support with the different processes. It is genuinely caring and as members you choose how much or how little you want to engage. The community is international with a wide range of online groups as well as locally organised face to face events. It is fun, engaging and truly connects as individuals or groups. I highly recommend it.
