Great variety of events to attend
Great variety of events to attend. Most hosts are welcoming. a way to connect with new people and share interests. Feels fine to show up alone as many people are attending solo.

Thanks for the positive review Jacky, it sounds as if you're a supporter of Stitch. If you get the time, it would be great if you could write to support@stitch.net and let the team know where we are falling short so that you only gave us a 3 star review, and what we can do to improve Stitch so you'd rate the community 5 stars. We always welcome helpful feedback! Regards, Andrew from Stitch

That's great to hear Ms Harris, we put a lot of effort into making sure all members understand the importance of being welcoming, so it's very rewarding to hear that's been your experience. Thanks for being a member of Stitch, and for taking the time to leave a review! Regards, Andrew from Stitch
Since moving to Tasmania two years ago…
Since moving to Tasmania two years ago I didn’t know anyone except my daughter who moved here eight years ago.
My friend from Sydney where I grew up had joined Stitch.
She had nothing but praise for the group so I checked it out and immediately signed.
I am a very social person so missed the friendship and communication of liked minded people.
It has been nothing but amazing and has made my life full again.
I am no stranger to going out alone but with this new group I can experience activities that I wouldn’t have done alone
The site is so easy to navigate and varied.
I am so lucky to have found Stitch as it’s changed my life.

That's such a wonderful review Wendy! We love hearing about members who found a new community when relocating to somewhere new, it can be such a challenging time for so many people. We're so glad you found Stitch! Looking forward to meeting you on my upcoming trip to Tasmania 😊. Regards, Andrew from Stitch

It is a fantastic platform and great community full of great meetups of different activities. Have met many wonderful people but I have to say the website is outdated and frustrating to use and needs upgrading. Worth joining however, I have enjoyed it .

Thanks for the encouraging review about the community David. If you get a chance, it would be great if you could send an email to support at stitch.net to tell us the things that you found most frustrating about the site. We are a small team and unfortunately have to spend an enormous amount of our time on things behind the scenes to do with security and safety to protect members from scammers, so there are many things we are still hoping to improve about the site, and it's always helpful to hear from members about what they think the highest priority is. Regards, Andrew from Stitch
Stitch, it gives you wings ....
The website and app on my phone work really well. Very easy to navigate. I live in Melbourne and find that there are so many activities and events being organised by members of Stitch every day of the week. You can pick and choose whatever event is of interest to you. Stitch is a great way to meet so many different people at events that are fun to attend.

Stitch meets a need that many of us…have: to extend our connections with people.
Stitch meets a need that many of us have ever since the pandemic: a way to meet new people and make friends. I love to learn, so this is perfect: I get social connections as well as take classes and learn new skills. It is perfect for people like me whose family lives out of state, am retired, and need social interaction with very nice people.

Love it! Thanks Kay, and thanks for being a member of our wonderful community. Regards, Andrew from Stitch
Kind and uncomplicated
The great thing about Stitch is that members are generally motivated by kindness and a wish to extend their friendship circles. It's all pretty informal and easy-going. Members invite everyone (more or less) to an activity and everyone can choose whether or not to go. The organisation keeps an eye on the smooth running of things via member reviews.

Thanks for the feedback Ell. Please reach out to Stitch Support and we'd be happy to help you set things up so you only receive emails for the things you're interested in. The system gives a fair bit of control over this but it's not always obvious, so we'd be happy to help! Regards, Andrew from Stitch
Stitch offers something for everyone
Stitch Sydney offers a marvellous socially inclusive network combined with an amazing variety of activities ; for example: walks, meals, coffee or pub get-togethers, interesting lectures, trips and local theatre. There are often more than twenty varied activities in one day! Stitchers are friendly, supportive welcoming to new members.

I love this review Richard! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, and for (more importantly) being a member of our very special community. Regards, Andrew from Stitch
A great social networking experience
I've been a member for over a year and have enjoyed meeting and socialising with some great people. I've always felt safe and welcomed at every event I've been to.
So many activities to choose to attend, and you can also create your own ones and invite others to join you.
I've encouraged other friends to join and they are enjoying it too.
Highly recommended !

you assume the worst about a person if they share contact information with another member and even suspend a person if they share too often. It is like a kangaroo court and Stitch assumes the worst without getting all of the facts.
Impossible to do a face to face activity with the other person when they life 500 miles away

Hi David, we don't assume the worst about any member, but we do have a duty of care to keep our community safe. Because scammers try to get people off platform so they can avoid Stitch's safety protocols, we provide a warning every time someone tries to do that on Stitch. If people are sharing contact details for valid reasons, such as after they have met at an in-person activity, then that's totally fine. But if someone repeatedly tries to get people to communicate outside the platform, they are likely to receive a warning or suspension, simply because the platform has to do what it can to protect members across the millions of interactions it monitors each month. We know that's an inconvenience for real members of the community, but it's the price we need to pay to keep everyone safe. As long as you focus on meeting other members at in-person activities in the community, and work within the Stitch Community Guidelines, you will be fine and won't ever face suspension. Regards, Andrew from Stitch

I greatly value my membership with Stitch. Many members I've chatted to about the site say, like me, they don't know what they'd do without the social connection that Stitch provides. I've given you 4 stars cos even with the best organisation, there's always room for improvement. Not that I can think of any just now. Many thanks.😉

Thanks for the positive review Robert, it's wonderful to hear what you wrote about Stitch. We would be the last to say the community is perfect, but we do encourage people to leave a 5 star review if they like what the community is doing, as that helps us counteract the 1-star reviews we receive from people who have never got verified or come to an activity, and give us a negative review because they want Stitch to be more like a dating site. If you truly don't have any areas to suggest for improvement right now, we'd love it if you felt comfortable updating your review! Conversely, if there are things you'd like us to improve, please reach out to Stitch Support, as we're always keen to know what we need to do to make Stitch better for our members.

Hi Janis, it sounds as if you live in an area where members have joined but nobody has started suggesting activities yet. Stitch is a member-based community, so everything that happens in the community relies on members. It can take a little while to get started in the beginning, as social anxiety makes it daunting for members to get involved, but we've seen hundreds of communities get started once one or two local members tell us they'd like to help make it happen. It's only a matter of time for it to happen in your area. If you'd like to get involved in helping us make that happen, please check out the Stitch Pioneer Program, where we provide support to members who would like the community to be more active in their areas. We've started over 50 new communities through the program over the last year, and it's very rewarding!
