Promising but flawed
Update: I’ve lowered my rating and left the app due to two reasons: 1) There’s a lot of hate towards neurotypical people on here. We’re becoming the villains and recreating the same cycle that led to us being marginalized. 2) Insane amount of blocking. You disagree with someone, blocked. Say the wrong thing, blocked. Breathe, blocked. I asked someone who was complaining of harassment if they could describe what happened so the community could help and was blocked. —————————————— I’ve been on this app for a bit and it’s been an overall pleasant experience, though there has been some drama. There are a lot of people that bombard others with requests to chat/date, which can be annoying when it happens the 20th time that day. But you can easily tune this out. As for the claims of racism/sexism/bigotry/etc., they are all extremely overblown. Yes, have I seen some bad things said/done? Absolutely. That exists no matter where you go. But I’ve been a witness to many of these incidents, and they usually boil down to one of two things: 1) the person claiming harassment is often very confrontational themselves and argues a lot, and falls back on one of the -isms to win the argument, or 2) someone makes a poorly-worded statement and someone else completely overreacts and starts flinging -isms because it’s a power trip.

people seem to have a love hate
You get five free likes a day, meaning u can match with five ppl free. Why this seems to bother alot of autisic people kinda shows u why the app is failing. alot of people on the platform arent even making connections but complain about five freebies a day not being enough and leaving. YOU WERENT MAKING DEEP CONNECTIONS BEFORE THE CHANGE FOOLS. the app may be trying to cater to a group of autistic that have been invisible in our own community. The responsible empathetic and working Autistic. The autistic that may volunteer for other autistic. When I joined I was turned off by the childish idea of what autistic people are like. if we keep catering to this group that we have been catering to for centuries and continue to ignore the other group of autistic who are completely independent ur not going to get good relationships out of it. It makes more sense for two independent autistics that have a deep understanding for empathy and connection to have success on this website. The people who will not have success are the ones who compulsively look for a relationship like you’re an object and then complain when they don’t get more than five a day. its just a headache to weed through ppl like

Some issues with the way the app works, but overall awesome!
I haven’t had this for very long, but I’m really loving the community aspect already. As an autistic person, I’ve really struggled to date and make friends, and it’s awesome to have a space like this! (By “struggled”, I mean than I often get ditched or essentially bullied when I tell people I’m autistic.) Sadly, there’s not all that many people close to me, but that really has nothing to do with the app itself. There are a few things I dislike about the app itself so far. First, people I’ve already hit X on keep showing back up in the match section of the app. Like, near the top the next time I open the app. I wish that when I hit X, those profiles wouldn’t continue to show up. Second, I hate that I can’t specify any distance between 25 & 100 miles. That’s a huge difference, and I really would just like to be able to specify the distance mile by mile, not in set numbers with huge gaps. Third, I do wish the buttons didn’t disappear when I’m scrolling down on someone’s profile. It takes a good 5 seconds to pop back up, and I just wish they stayed there the whole time.

Just alright
Some of the complaints others have made have been fixed, you can now set your age preferences pretty firmly, and the minimum distance is now 25 miles. However, it still sometimes matches with same sex even if you choose straight, and those looking for friendship even if you choose love. Those are by no-means deal-breakers for me, but worth mentioning. My biggest peeve is sometimes if I spend too long reading someone’s bio, because they actually wrote something great, then when I try to go back to the screen where the option to like/love is available, well it will just move on the next person instead and the “rewind” button will be broken! This is awful, as this only happens when I’m actually interested in someone’s bio!

Very Disappointing
I really liked this app when I first downloaded it. It was a great way to meet other autistic people and it was better than dating apps that tried to charge you for everything. I also liked the friend, heart, and X buttons. I felt like it set it apart from other apps. I was new to the community and the people made me feel welcome. Now, the app has changed. I appreciate that it is also inclusive to other neurodivergent people now. I think they deserve to be part of our community too. What I really don’t like is that you have to pay to do just about anything now. At first, I thought it was just the extra stuff that they added that we would have to pay for, but it seems that we need to pay just to match with people. Hiki has become more like Hinge, but worse because there is no free version. I understand that the app needs to make money, but the price is not right. $44 per month and you can match with people. If it was a reasonable price, I’d pay it, but they have the audacity to charge more than a Netflix subscription. The only reason I haven’t deleted this app is because I still have one friend who I message on this app. I no longer would recommend this app as I find it exploitative

Thank you so much!!!
Resources in place for youth with autism have been moving in the right direction for some time, but there's an alarming resource gap for adults with autism. I shouldn't be scared of talking in person with someone about how our adult experiences of having and hiding autism might overlap, but I am scared because that's never happened to me before. This app is the first time that I've been able to speak to someone my age who understands what it's like to live as if you're constantly a foreigner who is one step behind the dominant spoken language, hoping to pass as a native speaker to blend into a culture that you idolize. This app helped me take the first steps to reach my version of fluency and emotionally negotiate my dual citizenship. In other words, before this app existed, despite a healthy level of personal confidence in my individuality, I had been cut off from a community that I adore because I didn't know how to embrace the other community that I belong to, so I am thankful to everyone and everything for willing this app to be possible.

A total disappointment
When I first installed this app, I had high hopes for making positive connections on here as a person with mild autism and ADHD, and, indeed, I did make a few. I now communicate with those individuals on other social media platforms. However, recently, I had a well thought out post deleted by the Hiki admins without an explanation. I had explained, without offensive language, that I would no longer consider dating American women, so I guess the admins may have taken issue with that. Also, most of the individuals I talked with were rather flaky and inconsistent about responding, too. The mental virus of wokeness seemed rather pervasive on this app. Even when I posted on a private group that I was leaving the app, the admins disabled my access to the app before I could properly communicate with others in the group. I do wish I knew more about the app creators so I could organize a consistent and determined legal, nonviolent, social and economic type of ‘boycott’ of them and their interests. Farewell, Hiki. Just kidding, Hiki, I hope your app shrivels up and collapses.

Hiki changes
Monetizing a free app is one thing, completely changing who uses it & having to pay for likes, etc, turning this into just another dating app that's #neurospicy with EXTORTIONATE pricing is something totally different. You just nuked your baby. It may be profitable in the end, who knows, but it won't be a profitable app By/For Autistics - It will just be a completely different product. Congrats? Also, if this app was originally By/ For Autistic People (which, even that l'm hearing is false - someone said the founders are allistic, "but have an autistic cousin" then wouldn't you *of all people* understand Autistic ppl DON'T LIKE CHANGE & need approx 60 - 90 business days advance notice of any possibility of change?? You keep touting this "87% of our autistic users” statistic, but until we know the sample size, this percentage is meaningless bc it's def not what I'm seeing playing out in your app feed...

Great site… one thing
There are a ton of undiagnosed people on here, and some not autistic too. I like being able to meet other autistic people. It is a relief to learn there are others like me and what they have gone through… But self diagnosis can be dangerous. And I feel the people not Autistic are taking advantage of this free site. There needs to be some sort of weed out process… maybe a note from the people who diagnosed you… There are also people on here with adhd. That is not Autism. I’m here so I can meet other autistic people. Since I started going here, I have realized how normal I am even as a neurodivergent person. But adhd people, undiagnosed people, and neurotypical people shouldn’t be on this site. They are just confusing things

Not the Greatest Community
The app has a lot of issues in my opinion. It asks you for your location for one but then doesn’t even show you matches that are near you. Most of mine were hundreds or thousands of miles away from me. It also is very impersonal, feeling basically just like a Tinder. You can’t just slap a few Autistic related questions into the profile and call it an app for Autistic’s. I think its good that there is a platform for this, but I just don’t think this is it. Granted I used it to try to find friends, but guys will ignore your marital status regardless. I’ve gotten a lot better experiences just from connecting to other Autistic’s on already existing apps like Instagram. The feed page is super random and hard to find anything you actually want on there. Its a decent concept, but poorly executed.

This may finally be the one…
I’ve tried many different apps to connect with people, but I always end up spending time on a heartfelt profile, then deactivating it a short time later because it’s too overwhelming to interact internet the constraints imposed by the app. Hiki users are SO welcoming! You don’t need an official diagnosis- you’re trusted to know who you are. You don’t have to make a swipe decision on something to see the next person - absolutely amazing how much difference this makes to me!! And the forum is so comfortable. I feel like I’ve stumbled into a room where no one is going to laugh at me and I can finally relax. I may not find a partner, but I’ve found my tribe ❤️

Great & Needed App
This app is great and SO needed! I used it a couple years ago and it was GREAT then. I just started using it again and though there’s been quite a few changes, most of them seem good. The only glaringly negative change is the cost, particularly as the obvious target demographic in NEED of this app and those like it aren’t going to be able to afford this or at least not for long. 💔 I’d rather have ads in order to have access to support in the way of friendship and TRULY likeminded people which I can’t really get literally ANYWHERE ELSE where I live, like literally millions of us around the world. So many of us are so isolated as it is, so much more than NTs truly understand.

Great idea but I have issues with it
There’s a lot of people on the app who aren’t even autistic and I thought it was supposed to be a safe space for autistic people. I do want everyone to feel included but it’s hard to find people going through similar things when half the people have different disorders or mental illnesses other than autism. There’s a lot of trolls as well. I wish it had a friends and dating section separately because though mines set to friends all I get is people trying to date me. Idk I like the fact we can have a community but I just wish there would be some changes to the app and more moderators to get rid of hateful trolls.

Best Social & Dating App for Autistic Adults
I’ve tried many other friendship & dating apps in the past, and Hiki is by far my favorite. Elegantly designed interface, users can tap on profiles in the stack to match with other members for love or friendship, and News Feed provides further opportunities for members to connect through community posts & comments. I have so many good things to say about this app, but here’s my favorite part — with Hiki, it’s super easy to meet like-minded individuals and make new friends & connections. So if you’re an adult on the Autism Spectrum who is looking for friendship or love then consider giving Hiki a try! You won’t regret it.

Pretty useless
You get 5 likes per day - completely decreasing your chances of matching - with not that many people even close to you distance wise. People won’t even see you liked them unless you message them immediately when you like them - again another useless feature, and apparently they keep profiles up even when users leave - again, decreasing your chances of actually matching with someone. ON TOP OF ALL THAT - they charge like….$12 PER WEEK - if you want normal features - way to exploit differently abled people, many of whom would pay anything to find a partner…you would have better luck with just saying what your different abilities/needs are on a different app almost certainly, especially if you’re at least average looking

Separate app needed for friendships only
There seems to be confusion whenever I match with certain people. I have on there “only friendships” while people who are looking for romance and friendships get matched with me thinking they might have a chance. There are very little sites out there for friendships only for Autistic people. Also, as a woman, it gets me very upset that I have ‘Taken’ on my profile and it seems to get overlooked by people. It’s at this point that I’m wondering if it’s best to just have a completely different app dedicated to friendships only where the status of your relationship is made VERY clearly so that people don’t think something else.

Not an app for WOC!!
If you want to be inundated and harassed by men begging you to talk to them every 30 seconds, download this app. Especially if you want them to keep harassing you after you have told them you’re not interested! They feel entitled to dates and you giving them all your attention, and if you don’t, they will post about you and make lots of comments tagging you. There’s also racism, and some sexism. I also saw a lot of posts talking about people wanting to kill themselves. After I reported posts for racism, xenophobia, and even suicide, they were never taken down, even a week or two later. There was never any follow up either. This is one of the worst dating apps for Neurodivergents that could ever exist. Far more harmful than any dating app for Neurotypicals.

It’s good
This app is really good for people who have autism or ADHD on the spectrum of any disability, there are a couple of bugs, but it’s barely noticeable. The only thing that’s prevented me from giving by that I mean like if you put an X and you want to change your response or you put a friend or a heart and you want to change your response like I would want them to be able to let us go back and change our responses because when I went back to try change my response for a person that I wanted to like , Love love, or change my answer it wouldn’t let me, other than that this is a pretty good offer for people like me.

Not bad.l but needs work
I think the formulation this app was a great idea for people with AS to find potential friendships and love. I myself have AS and am looking for someone to date and decided to give the app a try. I got more matches than I did on Tinder and Bumble combined. However most of my matches live hundreds of miles from me which makes it pointless to contact them and I got the same exact people I got on the first day on the second day I used the app. I think once more people join, this will be fixed. That’s really the only gripe I have with this app, otherwise it’s a great way for people with autism to find connections they would not have been able to find otherwise.

Artificially limited
I’m specifically writing about about what’s available on iPad. This app passes off an iPhone app as an iPad app. In so doing it intentionally limits what it can do by not taking advantage of the screen space available on an iPad. If there were an alternative app, I’d drop it in a heartbeat for that reason. I know they’re not the only app maker that does that. That doesn’t make it a good decision. I work in tech. There are solutions to this problem. They just want to use them.

It’s alright
The people seem nice, but the app could use some work. The split :) and <3 reactions are a bit confusing and I’m not sure if people are getting lost in the mix because I am just looking for friends, but I guess it makes sense for people with both dating and friends on to avoid ambiguity. The messages notification is way too subtle. The open chat is a bit odd. All in all, I would recommend it if you are on the spectrum and trying to find compatible people, but don’t expect the seamless experience that you would get on other apps.

$44/month to see profiles of users who liked you
Most features considered premium are basic functions of the app like the ability to see who liked your bio, the ability to like more than a few profiles, or the ability to see users nearby. Most features are locked behind this $44 a month subscription Think about it. A user likes your post, but you cannot connect with the user without paying $44 a month. What is the point of posting a profile if you cannot contact the users who are trying to meet you? ultimately, you’re just looking at pictures of people who you can’t contact without paying the pimp app.

Needs adjustment.
Imagine a dating app, specifically designed for people with especially short attention spans (like myself), that has difficulty loading in pictures about 70%< of the time. There’s a lot of potential here for those of us who don’t typically relate to the average crowd. [That] being the only reason I didn’t immediately delete this app after running into these consistent loading issues. Yet, the developers seem to be dragging their feet to do anything about it. Also, there’s an issue with finding matches outside of group posts due to a lack of transparency in seeing who “swipes right” on you, so to speak. This app draws an awful wide net of people (from all around the globe) to be lacking in any way of showing who likes you before a [random] match is made. Which makes for an awful lot of work when you can’t even see the pictures of who you’re swiping on most times. It seems almost useless outside of group feeds. Plenty of potential, but very disappointing.

Beware of this app
This app is unsafe for those looking for friendship especially people of opposite sex and lgbtq folks. You’ll get people who harass ya in the feeds and in private chats that will show blatantly disregard for decency. The developers and admins don’t do anything about it and they even team up with sponsers etc that are ableist and support foundations that are harmful to the autistic community. They will ban you even if your innocent vs the many on there who are predators and abusers. My account got disabled without warning or anything by an admin and they believe anyone when reports can be false also if ya try emailing they won’t answer also they speak about privacy of user but they use tracers on their websites and possibly the app

You now have to pay to be on the App
When I first got this which was three months ago it was mostly free and you could make friends and meet new people for free. I had met a lot of cool people, made a friend, and even met my ex on here. Now you have to pay just to meet a person on here. I feel like it’s not right, which has led me and a lot of other people on here I know delete the app. It’s very exploitative to make people with disabilities pay just to meet others who are just like them as well. I really liked the app when I first got it but now Hiki is being greedy which has made me dislike this app now.

Poor Design Renders Hiki Useless
Hiki’s design is so clumsy that it’s unusable. The only age categories are “18-35,” “36-54,” and “55+.” These are probably useful demographics for an advertising executive, but they’re bad for dating and making friends. I really don’t think it’s appropriate for me to date or make friends with someone more than 10 years younger than I am, but there’s no way to filter out people a decade my junior. There’s also no way to filter for distance, so most of the profiles I get are from over a hundred miles away. I live in a major metropolitan area. I want to meet people here. You can list yourself as non-binary, but you can’t say you’re interested in meeting non-binary people. The only categories are “man,” “woman,” and “both.” Finally, maybe a few pictures and 3 lines of text are fine for neurotypical people to decide if they like someone. There’s no way to search for shared interests. This is basically a less functional Tinder with the word “autism” slapped on it. It doesn’t seem like the makers even did a focus group to see how usable the app is. Don’t bother.

Premium is too expensive
Honestly, this app is a godsend for neurodivergent people looking to make both platonic and romantic connections, and I’m very glad that it exists. However, I feel that the cost for premium is too expensive; $20 for one week seems like a bit much. I’m sure that many more people would be inclined to purchase the premium version if it were cheaper (and not to mention, if there were a lifetime purchase option as well). I hope this review reaches you well.

Horrific Micro Transaction Mess
I think for 44 dollars a month I should be able to restrict the area of the people I’m trying to match with, maybe down from 3000 miles away? That’s not a hyperbole, every time you try to see matches near you it will take you to a store page, and it will show you neurodivergent people like you may be, thousands of miles away. It’s going to charge you a lot and even then this is more of a “connection app” with a cheap overlay that desperately wants to be tinder, but is actually more like Tinder’s Concord. There is probably a better discord out there for us than another business that preys on the loneliness of the neurotypical

friend/love difference kills it
You can select friend or love on each profile and it just kills the app - makes it more confusing then what it already is and highlights the issues between autistic men/women. 90%+ of the female profiles are friends only while the male side is reverse. It’s a fact that autistic women tend to find autistic men undesirable, so making a friends only option is this apps way of inflating the female ratio. Women will complain about how awful the guys are that want to get touched in real life - calling them sexist racist whatever because they are desperate and awkward (BECAUSE THEY ARE AUTISTIC LOL) while guys complain that none of the women actually want to date them. It’s a mess.

Late-Stage Capitalism At Its Finest
For an app advertised as being created by neurodivergents for neurodivergents, I am appalled. I spent hours creating a profile, figuring out how the app functions, and looking for matches only to find out that I won't be able to send messages to someone matched without paying. Offering free access to a connection app that won't let you connect without payment is despicably deceptive, exploitative, and greedy. If you can't create a profitable business model without misleading your consumer base, you are either in the wrong business or shouldn't be in business at all. All involved are deplorable.

Extra monetization! If you don’t have HIKI DON’T GET IT NOW UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE EXTORTED!
I used to like Hiki but they over monetized everything and it feels like they lowered the amount of likes you can have. To me it feels like a disgusting way to take advantage of people who are already lonely and just trying to find companionship. $20 a week! That’s ridiculous! $44 a month, it’s deplorable. Even Tinder doesn’t have that bad of pricing with their sales. Now if there were a lot more daily likes I would have less of an issue with it but it’s like 5 likes per day! Thinking about uninstalling but if you haven’t gotten the app yet DON’T GET IT!

Taking advantage of autistic people
I found this app recently and it seemed like asmall very friendly community for autistic people to communicate. It was like a safe haven away from bigger dating apps. After getting comfortable a few weeks they changed the format and layout, opened the app to people without autism, and put up a paywall to communicate one on one or match with people as friends or romantic interests. The only thing you can do with this app now is chat in general forums and it no longer feels like a safe autistic community. I feel like I was just given a bait and switch. The fees they are charging are also insanely high given how few active users I’ve seen near me. I would recommend another app if you are autistic and want to feel safe. I feel betrayed honestly. Autistic people need warning for major change, but I’m guessing they didn’t do that because they preached the backlash.

Suggestions
So far the apps been good except I recommend adding a few things. I was thinking after you like someone you should leave a message for them showing the reason why do you want to be your friend or date. My last suggestion is having everyone have their own list of people they liked or friend, because of my first suggestion.

Easy to use. Love the relevant but not so overdone prompts. Messaging feature looks nice and works well. My only gripe is that I wish this app was more well-known. It’s very hard to find anyone in my area on Hiki. However, the people I’ve talked to so far have all been incredibly pleasant and not immediately horny, which is a nice change of pace!

No matches
This app is a bit strange, maybe it’s because I’m a woman of color but I didn’t match with anyone. On other dating sites I usually get messages within a day of joining but I didn’t get any on here. It really took a bit to my confidence I hate swiping only for the person to completely ignore me. This is why I stopped doing dating and friendship apps if the person does like me back they rarely ever reply anyway. Also some of the profiles the people who are on here I understand that they are on the spectrum but they seem really off.

My only recommendation for this app is, if applicable, update the UI interface of the app in the next update. Sure it’s super simple and possibly accommodating, which is A+, but can the app at least get a UI update to have a balance of beautiful interface and an accommodating interface. Thnx.

Can’t adjust distance, immediately uninstalled
When will up and comer dating apps realize that paywalling a feature already offered by the big 3 (bumble hinge tinder) defeats the whole purpose? I am looking for in person dates, not pen pals, and if I were the type to pay for a dating app, I’d pay for Hinge and use their filters on the vastly larger user base. As it stands, it’s far easier to find an autistic person on another dating app than it would be to find someone in my area on this app, making this app worthless.

i havent made any matches yet but that’s not the app’s fault, that’s just how it is sometimes with these sorts of things. i like that there’s also a community section, it’s really cool to see other autistic people from so many other places. especially fellow trans autistic people. especially when they’re a lot older than me! there are lots of ways to convey information about yourself, including questions to answer on your profile. i like that there’s an option to make text, photo, gif posts. or have all of those things together on one post! i honestly wish more people would use the app tbh

I liked the app for a long while
I was on there for three years. I posted several times a day, and made over 100 matches (friends in my case) . I made some good friends, even if I didn’t match them. I would not get the same in the NT side of things. Then because of the way it was monetized and it’s most important features crippled behind a paywall, I deleted my three years of content right on the spot. Hiki is trying to turn itself into a true dating app from a population that is a tiny fraction of 2% of the population that it caters to. The math is not there. With the mad exodus this cause, the math is truly not there. Hiki is now broken, technically and culturally. It’s time to find another community or see where my friends have gone.

Great app! Just needs more users
Im not going to proclaim that the app is perfect (its not) but overall I think its a great way for NDs to meet and connect. It doesnt suffer from a lack of users locally but enough to find a few local matches. If you dont mind long distance friends than its even better.

Exploitation of Community By Capitalists
This used to be a great way to connect with other autistics! I really enjoyed it. Then, they suddenly dropped a paid requirement on everyone and added other neurodivergents. Adding others was fine and welcome, but charging an exorbitant amount just so we autistics could connect with new folx is predatory. They did it during Disability Pride Month, too. Us autistics already get taken advantage of enough. This was supposed to be a safe space, and it just isn’t any longer.

Great until the update
As others have said, the recent update as pretty much ruined the app. There was a lot of promise early on but now nearly everything is locked behind a pay wall. I also very much dislike the new way of “liking” someone. But despite that, I have found probably one of the best friends I’ve ever had via this app so I still hold out hope that this app will improve.

Super Cute App
I love this idea. I have tried using dating (+ Friendship) apps to find connections and that experience has not been the best. Felt very one-sided and unwilling for both. One small suggestion: Add location filtering or an option to filter profiles from closest-to-farthest. I have yet to find someone within a reasonable driving distance.

Not very pleasant
I loved the concept and building community is always wonderful. The problem is that moderation felt light. I saw a lot of people that were abusive in the comments not get comments removed and the people using the site for dating really started to not see boundaries around respect. It would be difficult to recommend this as a safe place.

Loving it, but wish there was this option
Haven’t really had the app long at all, but it is so much more comfortable than bumble/tinder! I just wish there was a in between option for love and friendship, like there’s people I want to try to date but I wouldn’t mind being friends either. I just don’t want to miss out on potential friends/partners.
