About — Søren

What is Søren?

Søren is a platform for discovering the best apps to meet people in real life. Whether you're looking for new friends, a running partner, a date, or professional connections, we help you find the right app for your city and your goals.

There are hundreds of social apps out there, and new ones launch every week. Some focus on friendships, others on dating, sports, networking, or community events. Søren brings them all together in one place with honest reviews, city-specific guides, and side-by-side comparisons so you can make an informed choice.

Why we built this

Meeting people shouldn't be hard. But between endless scrolling and apps that prioritize engagement over real connection, it often is. We believe the best social experiences happen face-to-face — and that technology should make it easier to get there, not harder.

We built Søren because we were tired of trying app after app with no way to compare them. Which ones actually work? Which ones are popular in your city? Which ones are worth your time? These are the questions we set out to answer.

What you'll find here

App reviews and comparisons — Honest, detailed write-ups on every major platform for meeting people IRL, from friendship apps to sports and dating.
City guides — Not every app works everywhere. Our city guides show you what's popular and effective where you live.
Editorial guides — In-depth articles on topics like making friends as an adult, choosing the right dating app, and getting the most out of social platforms.
A mobile app — Søren is also available as an iOS app so you can browse and discover on the go.

Our approach

We're independent and unbiased. We don't run any of the apps we review, and we don't take payment for rankings or placements. Every review is based on our own research and real-world testing. When we recommend an app, it's because we genuinely think it's worth trying.

We cover apps across every category — friendship, dating, networking, sports, and more — because meeting people in real life takes many forms. Whether you're new to a city or just looking to expand your social circle, Søren is here to help you find your people.
