Three people smiling together at an evening event

I’ve lived in DC for a little over four years and I’ve always talked about how little I’ve explored the city. Tonight reminded me of how much the city has to offer. I met a group of folks that were really fun to converse with and share a drink with.

Washington, DC member · App Store review, August 2024
I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at 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…

I am so happy to have found Timeleft. It has got me out of the house and meeting new people every week. I have made some wonderful connections with some new friends.
