Description
Patook is THE strictly platonic friend making app! As seen on TechCrunch, Wired magazine, Geekwire, Engadget, The Sun, The Telegraph and many more.
You were looking for apps to make new friends and ended up on this page.
Maybe you’ve moved in the past few years, live in a tiny (or huge) city, graduated, or just have this gut feeling that there are people out there who would make awesome friends to you, and you to them.
Or you found a couple of other “friend” apps, but then after trying them, realized that they were full of people looking for more than friendship.
Well guess what – Patook is an app strictly for friendships. So strictly in fact, that we have developed our own automatic method to detect when someone is flirting. We’ve even included a no-flirting clause in our terms of service so we ban such users. Any person who attempts to flirt via the app will get their account permanently banned before their message even makes it into your inbox.
The result? Women, men, couples and others on this app have the same goal and the same expectations.
If you’re on Patook, it’s to make great platonic friends. Period.
If that’s not enough to sway you, Patook has proprietary methods that match you to people who are similar to you. That means people who like the same things, and also dislike the same things. It calculates a point score for each user and tells you how compatible you are with them. So, instead of picking your “friends” based on giant pictures of them, you actually look through shared interests and pick which interests you care the most about.
Want even more control? Want to find a friend who speaks French, plays the violin, likes the same shows you do? Patook's point system allows you to give out points for traits you like, and then each user gets a little score shown next to their name.
Give it a shot. Let us know what you think. We’re still new but our users are fantastic. And if you’ve read this far, so are you!
More notes:
* The matches tab shows you nearby users who you have a good chance of getting along with. Patook is centered around connecting compatible people together. The score shown on the top right is the result of your point system.
* The discussions tab acts as a local bulletin board where user can post various topics, discussions, jokes or rants. Discussions are visible to everyone within your area, so by posting to them you are effectively broadcasting messages to the neighborhood. People can then upvote and respond to the topics and the most interesting topics get surfaced. This helps kickstart conversations between people.
* The point system gives users more control in finding compatible users. For example, you can give 20 points to women, 10 points to people who speak French, and 20 points who are originally from the United States. The point count shows up next to the user's names.
* You can log in with Facebook to speed things up, but you don’t have to.
* Patook takes security and privacy very seriously. We have made as many privacy options as we could think of available. Our moderators are also happy to respond to any feedback from you.
We hope you enjoy using this app. Please feel free to message us if you have any questions or comments about it (please do not send us unsolicited ideas or suggestions), and spread the word.
Join the thousands of people who have made new friends or found a BFF on Patook!

Petezod,
Why not!
It is what you put into it and how you interact with people. I like the world connection thing. Make a friend from England, say hello to a lady from Australia, meet a guy from Argentina, or a young couple from Pittsburgh with common interests. I’ll put it this way. My grandma (a widow of 5 kids)was an avid writer and pen pal. She corresponded with people from all over the world. On a teachers salary she was on a limited budget. She made friends on every continent and always had a place to stay overseas and she was never bored when she got home because she always had interesting company coming to visit. She would have loved this app. This app could give you a good start to never being bored again with a little screening to boot! Undoubtedly more than she ever had! Of course you don’t have to take it that far. Have fun!
girlwithLion,
i enjoyed it and then chats started disappearing.
something about the way i talk to people (i.e. mentioning snapchat filters, for example) seems to trigger patook automated messages about sharing personal info even though i haven’t actually shared any personal info. and three times now, i have had chats disappear from my inbox, nowhere to be found. i have zero reason to think i’ve been blocked; all three people were highly engaged with me and we looked forward to each other’s conversations. one of them was even able to get a notification through before i lost the chat that said something along the lines of “yay you’re back, i thought we got blocked!” well, apparently i’m not back and we DID get blocked and we have no idea why!! we’re both girls, we’re both straight, we didn’t flirt or share personal info but now we can’t see each other. she was one of my favorite new friends on this app and now the wind is just taken out of my sails; what’s the point of investing in people if you’re going to seemingly randomly lose contact for good? 😭💔 so, i filed bug reports and i’ve stopped using this app. if i don’t get support/an explanation in a week or so, i’ll be deleting my profile and the app cos i don’t have the energy to invest in conversations that might suddenly disappear on me with no explanation.
just be aware that this is an issue. i’ll update my review if i hear back from patook.

Joy Creative,
Chat msgs not being sent?
Great concept. Definitely beneficial with where I'm at right now - meeting new people and forming meaningful relationships. I'm recently divorced and my world has been flipped as far as relationships, so finding this app is perfect timing (for finding friends ONLY...no way am I trying to get into something rn after going through a divorce). The only thing, I think I'm flagged or something. Everything seemed fine for the first week or so and then it seemed like the chat msgs I was sending weren't going thru. Instead of the double check, which indicates the other person read your msg, all of my chats just have the single check which just indicates it was sent and that the other person doesn't have notifications on. But somethings wrong because I've sent maybe 10 chat msgs to new people and none have read them or viewed my profile. So it seems I have been flagged. I'm a guy and I've mostly msg'd women - it seems theres more women than men on the app, and honestly, I've only come across a handful of dudes who have interesting profiles. I was raised by a tribe of women and have 5 sisters so I'm very comfortable having women friends. But maybe I'm blocked because I'm a male who's mostly reached out to females. Patook, any help with this issue?
Gaspatchosoup,
Fake notifications
As an update to fake notifications. I get one for this person just joined Patook near you say hi. I open the app by the notification and it takes me right to my list and not the persons profile or a list of new people. I don’t think you can fail any harder than you have. It’s time to find a new job or just actually start working at Patook instead of sitting on your hands.
If there’s one thing I hate more than apps that do notification after notification it’s apps that send fake notifications. I always get your profile has been viewed by an amount of people and when I open the app it’s nowhere near the number it told me if at all. Just got one that a discussion started near me and open the app and guess what. No new discussion near me. This app is like the desperate person trying to get their friends to notice them. I try to use this app to make friends but all these false notifications are making it so I delete this crap of an app.

Little Ninjagal,
It’s pretty good, only...
I was happily using it, and making friends, but there’s a little too much restrictions. My account also seemingly got deleted or something, and I don’t understand what I did wrong. It did say that they have the right to delete or hide account without notifying the user, but I thats a bit of a weird system. How are we supposed to know what we did wrong, if you don’t tell us? It’s very inconvenient when it also seems like I’m ignoring the new potential friends I was talking to. I’m trying to get my account verified again, but it’s been days, and nothing has changed. I’m so frustrated, there is no way to tell the people I was talking to that I’m not ignoring them.
There’s also no swearing on the app, and honestly, many people swear now a days. This is honestly minor compared to my account being hidden with me being notified of it, it was only when one of my friend on Patook send me a text message on the phone to tell me did I realize something was wrong.

NaitheGR8,
Work in progress!
One word: Patience. This is a friendship app not a dating app! For some reason in today’s society that means less traffic! Lol. This idea of an app for friendship is relatively new! Not a million people on the app in neighboring cities so you have to be patient, however every week new people sign up and every once in a while people with similar interest join! I will say, the people you have mutual hobbies with always seem pretty awesome! Also you can’t send or receive a phone number until Patook decides you and the other party have developed rapporteur which is really cool and annoying at the same time! Anyway. I recommend you try the app, more effective than any others out there, oh and I hope Patook can market itself to more potential users while maintaining its integrity!
mrs smutz,
Best friend app yet!
I just moved out of state so I’ve been trying different apps to meet people. Patook is by far the best. I love how detailed the personality and preference sections are. It even has a questionnaire to fill out that helps match you with people based on compatibility points! I only wish there were more users, but that’s not Patooks fault. It feels like a dating app but for friendships; which is great bc as an adult I don’t have the time to weed out massive amounts of people who could potentially be compatible. I love seeing, right off the bat, if I’ll get along with a person or not. Oh and one of the best parts is it prevents any unwanted flirting and recognizes words that could be inappropriate in messages and refuses to send them. Overall, this is a really awesome app.
Lanedorsdanb,
Good concept
I like the idea of this app since I'm not looking to date anyone right now and every other site is a dating site even if it specifies it's a place to just meet people. However, I don't know if there's just not a lot of people in my state on here but I have the app trying to find people near me and so it gives me people all from the state next to me, which really isn't near me. I did try to reach out to a couple people who viewed my profile and seemingly rejected me because I got no match or response from them. I'm guessing it's because they want to meet people from their state. I wouldn't mind having an internet long distance friend but I suppose in-person friendships can be more meaningful so I can't say I blame them. Maybe I'll give it some more time. Who knows, my next best friend could be on here.
Toby Sings,
On the Right Track…
The app has helped me gain exactly what I was looking for: platonic connections online and offline. The only downside to this app are the routine glitches, poor app management, and technical problems. For example, your account may get flagged/deleted for using a word that was deemed “inappropriate” or “flirting” when in reality it truly is not. People may message you or you may message them but the messages will not show up for days. Occasionally, when others want to message you back, your account has mysteriously disappeared as if you’ve deleted your own account. If this app is able to get all of these moments of technical problems worked out, it will be the next big thing. Hence, this app is on the right track.
Dann8874,
Great Concept, Bad App Mgmt.
I really like the concept of Patook, you’re able to go and meet new people for platonic friendship and that’s awesome. The problem I’ve experienced is that it’s completely automated and “flags” you for what the computer considers to be potentially flirty or inappropriate words, when in fact nothing has occurred. There’s also the sudden disappearance of conversations and the profile of the person you’ve been talking too, only to have them reappear 1-2 days later, all without warning or explanation from Patook. People are left thinking you’ve deleted them and no longer want to be friends. Clicking “help” or “contact support” is absolutely useless because again it’s all automated and you get preset computer generated responses. I tried emailing, but that also leads to zero response, not even an automated one. The running of this app is poorly done.
