About this app

Friendster is a private social network built for real-life friends.

Add friends in person, then share updates, photos, and messages inside your actual friend network — not a follower graph.

What you can do:

• Post updates and photos to your feed
• React and comment
• Message friends one-on-one or in small groups
• Manage your profile and notification settings

Friendster is designed to be simple and intentional:

• Friends-only network (no suggested strangers)
• No ads. No algorithms.
• Privacy-first: we don’t sell your data.

Ratings and reviews

Welcome back, Friendster The concept is still pretty much the same. It's still centered around your friends, no social media algorithms, just people you know. Everything is friend-to-friend, lmao. But the interface feels way too empty. What made Friendster special was being able to customize your profile, make it look unique, and even have background music playing on your profile

I am experiencing several issues while using the app. First, when I open a photo in fullscreen mode, the image does not display properly. It only appears in the center of the screen with large black spaces above and below it, and the photo does not fit the screen correctly. Second, I am having problems with messaging. When I send a message, it takes a long time to be delivered to the recipient. Lastly, I am also experiencing issues with posts and comments.

Already updated the app. Still cannot add friend. The other person uninstalled it. I asked to install so, we can try it. Same thing. Cannot find or search each other. No matter how close the two phones are. From 3 stars to 2 stars. I think you need to hire the best programmer out there to help fix the issue and make 2nd to Facebook.

What’s new

Highlights in-person friend connections with an IRL label and keeps those connections easy to find.
