My experience exceeded my expectations by far. I spent a wonderful dinner with bright and open-minded strangers. The event was well-organised and most likely the algorithms were working well too, to have created this combination of participants. 5 stars

Apathetic and inauthentic


I have been requesting opening my matter for over a week now as my card was charged without any prior notice for a subscription renewal of anorher 6 months which I don't wish to use.

I had informed on the same day about this and since then have been following up daily asking for a reversal of the renewal and refund of the fee for it.

Barring one automated response asking me to cancel through the app - which doesn't solve my concern as that doesn't reverse the current renewal your team has been of no help claiming just once that my request has been "queued".

In no other legitimate service among your contemporaries is this the pace of response to a customer query let alone a refund request which should be slotted in for priority separately.

This general culture of apathy actually shows through the quality of your service and now baselessly holding someone's money.

Please return it immediately.

Hi Prachi! Thank you for sharing your message, and we want to start by sincerely apologizing for the delay and frustration this has caused. We understand how upsetting it must feel to be charged for a renewal you did not wish to continue and not receive timely support

Refund requests should always be handled with urgency, and we’re working on improving both our systems and response times to ensure this doesn’t happen again. However, we invite you to read our terms and conditions (which are listed before creating a subscription) https://timeleft.com/terms-conditions/. If these terms were not respected, please reach out to support so we can prioritize your case.
We’re truly sorry for the experience you’ve had, and thank you for your patience 🧡

My experience with TimeLeft has been really good.

My experience with TimeLeft has been very positive. The people I’ve met are interesting and diverse. After college, the venues to meet new people become scarce, especially in a new city. The concept of TimeLeft is unique and more comfortable than trying to meet people through other platforms.
I have had 2 dinners with TimeLeft. Generally, the staff at the restaurants have been very accommodating and the food ok, but I am unlikely to return to these places on my own.
However, I am there to meet new people, and I have been quite satisfied !! :)

I enjoy the experience meeting 5 great individuals. The issue i had was the restaurant set us in a booth right across from the bar between two doorways. It was very hard to hear the 5 other individuals talk, because the noise at bar plus the staff walking in and out doing their job service. Very noisy! Overvall the experience was great! I look forward to join other dinners

Great first timer in Maryland


I had a really positive experience at the Timeleft dinner. The group was a mix of people from different backgrounds who had moved to Baltimore, and the conversation flowed easily around travel, books, and podcasts. Three attendees seemed especially in sync, likely because they had already participated in Timeleft before, while for two or three others it was their first time.

Overall, everyone was friendly, polite, and open, and the discussion even touched briefly on politics. It was interesting to see how different perspectives played out in the group dynamic. Personally, I didn’t feel like I made a deep connection that would carry over outside of the dinner, but I still really enjoyed meeting such a thoughtful and diverse set of people.

The restaurant itself was fantastic—the food was so good that I went back later that day. That alone made the evening worthwhile! If I had one suggestion, it would be to offer an earlier dinner option, maybe around 5:30 or 6:00, since 7:00 p.m. felt a bit late, especially factoring in rush hour traffic.

All in all, this was a great experience that got me out socializing in a fun, relaxed way. Even if this group wasn’t “my people,” it was absolutely worth it, and I’m excited to try again and hopefully meet others I click with.

I had my account banned after 10 dinners (all of which were fantastic). I’m fairly confident this was a misstep on Timeleft’s end as I abide by the rules and really enjoyed the format.

I have reached out to customer service 5 times and not a single reply. My last two tickets were closed without any reply. I intended on being a longtime patron but if I can’t even use the service, not sure what to do.

Maybe as Timeleft reads this they can give me an email and assurance someone will look into my issue.

As fun as it sounds!

I’ve found making friends as an adult much tougher than as a kid! When you’re young, you’re surrounded by your peers all day, and finding friends is fairly easy. I’m mid-60s and fairly introverted, but I still want to connect with people. When I found TimeLeft, I loved the concept right away, and decided to give it a shot. I’ve been to 2 dinners this month, and both were a lot of fun! I’ve met 11 people so far, had a chance to try a couple of restaurants I hadn’t been to before (both really good!), and I’m having dinner this weekend with someone I clicked with (platonically).
I’ve decided I’ll continue to participate a couple of times a month, and I’ve lowered my dinner price range to one $, because I can’t afford to eat out ‘nice’ every week, but it’s a super idea. (Terrible name but great concept! 😁)

Only downside so far is that I've ate in the same restaurant twice. I hope that next time the restaurant will be different (Copenhagen).

Two occasions I experienced TimeLeft

Two occasions I experienced time left. We were at establishments i had never visited before and truly enjoyed the meals.

Being grouped with folks a little bit older than me, I found the conversations were thorough and explorative and worthy of connection.

I watched a few clips on YouTube from participants around the world where the mistake has been made that romance may evolve, but I suppose it depends on your intentions.

I found all my connections to be mature adults that are happy to explore many topics from travel to education to books and one minor diversion from politics was necessary, but as an experience, I highly recommend it to everybody to try at least three times.

I’m of the opinion , that no one should eat alone and there is great value to sharing meals match with strangers conversation is inevitable, learning something new is absolutely guaranteed and experiencing a perspective on topics you could never consider from your own cultural bias is a form of freedom I highly recommend.

The first dinner was successful. The last drink was a venue that was closed.

The second successful time with dinner was followed with the last drink, and four of five participants joined in along with approximately 15 others from three other locations in our region.

A very good habit to have is “dinner 7 PM Wednesday discovering a new restaurant with new people”

Spike.

Wow! Thank you for such a thoughtful and inspiring review! 🧡 We love how you captured the spirit of Timeleft. You’re right, it’s not about romance; in fact, we are not a dating app! But about connection, curiosity, and the joy of not dining alone and creating long-lasting friends! We’ll take note of the closed venue, and we’re so happy that both of your dinners brought great connections. ✨ See you at the next one!!

Great experience so far

I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. The girl said from a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more in Melbourne. I really enjoyed the first two! Was lovely company! Would recommend if you want to meet people and try different restaurants.

More keen guests than the restuarant booking

I arrived at my first Timeleft dinner, to discover I was guest #7 on a 6 person booking. The restaurant offered to squeeze me on the end of the table, but it looked a bit squashy, so I left. Not sure how you resolve this issue. Did someone bring a friend, or maybe they always overbook these events thinking someone will not turn up? I am looking at it as if I was not meant to have dinner with someone at that table and my fairy godmother did me a favour.

simple but brilliant…

This is such a simple but brilliant concept. I've been to multiple dinners, occasionally meeting up to do it again. It's nice to meet other professional adults for dinner and conversation. Added plus of restaurants I wouldn't have otherwise tried. All around great experience.

A Perfect Way to Meet New People in a New City!

What a fantastic evening! Everything was thoughtfully organized and the choice of restaurant couldn’t have been better — it had just the right atmosphere for meeting new people. The group was friendly, international and around the same age, which made conversations flow naturally. I highly recommend this app to anyone new in town and looking to connect — it’s a great way to break the ice and start building your social circle.

Fun experience!

Overall fun experience.
I've done 2 dinners so far and it's a bit of a hit or miss. With one group it was just ok, with the other we all instantly clicked!

It's nice to have the "matching" system for the chats, as it allows to keep some control over who can contact you.

Both times were at the same restaurant (one week appart). In the feedback section of the app you get a chance to rate the restaurant which I assume determines if you are paired with the restaurant again in the future or not.

I think it could be nice if Timeleft could get "partner" restaurants that offer discounts / free drink/ desert for the meetups.

Another thing I think could be improved is that the meetups are based on a pairing algorithm based on a "personality questionnaire". However, as humans we are ever evolving creatures, and so far I have not found how to "retake" this questionnaire or check my answers to see if they still match who I am.
