14 dinners and none were amazing

14 dinners and none were amazing! Vibe didn't flow, people didn't connect. Didn't work.
Also, I have been charged multiple times for one month. I have tried to email to get this rectified and nothing.
Please help.

We’re really sorry to hear this , Rose. We truly appreciate you sharing it so openly. After 14 dinners, you absolutely deserve an experience that feels meaningful and connected.
We’d love to have a proper conversation with you about what didn’t work, both with the group dynamics and the billing issue. Your perspective could really help us improve, and we want to make things right on all fronts.
Please reach out to customer support refering this review if you haven’t already, or let us know the best way to contact you :) we’re here and ready to listen 💙

I had a friend recommend Timeleft after he moved to a new city and wanted to meet some new people, so I thought I would give it a try. Every dinner has been a completely different experience and I have definitely met people that i normally never would have found. Since i love trying new restaurants this gives me a chance to do that and make some new friends at the same time. I understand it is not for everyone, but if you go with an open mind and no expectations, you will have a great time.

Very good tool for socialising in general. But could be better of you can set a customer service function that make users better understand how it works and faster responses to questions users may have.

Interested experience

I joined four times. It was very interesting meeting new people that i would have never met otherwise. However three out of four times there was a non show without notice and this is sad . I think that is a very good chance to get out of "comfort zone" and try social skills. I also think that the new plus one cancels the whole idea of time left because it changes the "balance of the participants" .

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Evgenia! We’re really glad you found it meaningful and enjoyed meeting new people outside your usual circles! 🙌
Definitely, no-shows without notice can really affect the energy of the group, and we’re actively working on better systems to reduce that.
We also hear your concern about the new Plus One feature: this is designed to help some guests feel more comfortable, but we totally get how it might shift the group dynamic. Finding the right balance is key, and feedback like yours helps us keep improving the experience for everyone. 💙

I’ve been on 3 Timeleft dinners so far

I’ve been on 3 Timeleft dinners so far. All of them have been a great experience. I was matched with people my age & it was such a great way to spend an evening out. The last dinner was the women’s only and made some great new friends. Go in with no expectations and just try to have fun!

Be careful

I’ve signed up a while ago and never had a chance to use it I’ve been trying to cancel my subscription for months There’s no one to talk to via customer service and my emails have not been returned with the exception of an automated reply Beware if you sign up don’t do it directly through them Make sure you can go through apple so it can be easily cancelled in your subscriptions

Thanks again for flagging it!

They take your money

They take your money, sometimes you get bumped, then they leave your city, and then won’t give you a refund.

It’s a great experience when it works.

They weren’t willing to help apple with billing. So don’t believe them. I’m paying for a subscription I can’t use.

Amazing dinner with new friends

I had an excellent time with the dinner meeting experience last Wednesday for my 1st time! Conversations flowed smoothly with people in my age range and have kept in touch with most of them. Can't wait to experience my next Timeleft dinner experience again!!

More local users required

I used it only once, the program is relatively easy to use. I think my first experience was averge, one person was missing, the restaurant was adequate, I think that the people was in my age range, but that does not necessesarily meant I was able to connect instantly with them. I think that a significant factor is the amount of people using the platform that in my case seems limited.

Hi there!
Thank you for giving Timeleft a try and for sharing such detailed feedback. We really appreciate your honesty.
We’re glad to hear that the app was easy to use and that your table included people in your age range. At the same time, we understand that a meaningful connection isn’t always instant, and that the experience can be influenced by many factors, including the number of local users.
We’re actively working on growing our community in more areas, so that matches can feel even more natural and aligned. Your feedback helps us prioritize that effort. We also hope that your next dinner might bring a better mix :) sometimes even one new guest can completely shift the dynamic.

Thanks again for joining and for your thoughtful reflections. We’d love to welcome you back for a second dinner soon!!

It was a mixture of surprise and a little disappointment.

With the guidance of the Timeleft app, I had dinner with five strangers. It was a mixture of surprise and a little disappointment.

The surprise came from the fact that all six of us were genuinely committed to the dinner. Everyone was at the table at 7 p.m., the agreed meeting time. The conversation flowed smoothly, and thanks to the efficient guidance of the experienced members, we enjoyed this chance encounter for two hours without a single lull in the conversation.

The slight disappointment was that I could only express about 20% of what I wanted to say, simply because there wasn't enough time. However, I naturally connected with the members who particularly caught my attention, so I feel this was a meaningful opportunity for relationship-building, unlike the forced connections made through dating apps.

Hi Yukio!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Timeleft. We’re genuinely glad to hear that the dinner brought a mix of surprise and meaningful connection :) it’s exactly the kind of atmosphere we hope to foster with every gathering.
We completely understand the feeling of wanting more time to express yourself, especially in a group where the conversation is flowing and the energy is right. It’s a delicate balance, and your feedback is incredibly helpful as we explore ways to refine the format.
We’re also really happy to hear that you were able to naturally connect with others in a way that felt authentic and different from traditional apps. Building real connections is at the heart of what we do, and your words reinforce why we’re doing it.
Thanks again for being part of the Timeleft community. We hope to see you at another dinner soon!

I had a great first experience

I had a great first experience. The table was full of people who had similarities but also different experiences. The restaurant and server were great! It was just so nice to connect with a group of people I would not have met otherwise. Human connection is so important and I’m thankful for this App. I will for sure be scheduling another dinner in the future.
