We run Siena, a dinner with strangers in London every Thursday, so we compete with some of the services we review. We say where each one does better than us. Every fact about Gofrendly below comes from its own website or store listing, checked on the date shown and linked in the sources. If something has changed, tell us at hi@sienasociety.com and we will fix it.
Gofrendly comes from Sweden and is open to anyone who identifies as a woman. Its blog often comes up in searches for apps to make friends in London, so we looked at what the app itself offers.
How Gofrendly works
- Create a profile. You say what you are into and what you are looking for.
- Browse matches and activities. Gofrendly suggests women near you and activities they have posted, such as coffee, a run or a gallery visit.
- Say hello. You start a private chat or join a group chat, and you can create your own public or private activities in the app calendar.
Gofrendly is for women only, and its UK App Store age rating is 18+. It is a matching and messaging app. It does not book tables or run its own dinners in London.

How big is Gofrendly in the UK?
The UK App Store listing gives two figures in the same description: "over 500,000 women" and "over 250,000 women". It does not say how many are in London.
One public number helps. On 14 October 2026, Gofrendly had 35 ratings on the UK App Store, with an average of 3.9 out of 5. Bumble For Friends had 2,084 UK ratings on the same day. A small UK base means fewer people near you to match with, so check the app around your area before you pay for a plan.
