5/5Finally a local app that gets it
Howl is what every town should have by now. No spam No trolls Just real people helping each other out from lost pets to power outages to community events. It’s like the best parts of Facebook Groups and Citizen minus the noise and nonsense. Verified users Hyper local threads Easy to post Easy to stay updated And it actually feels human. You can tell this was built by people who live here and care about the community not by some giant tech company trying to farm our data. If you live on Long Island or anywhere it’s available download it Use it Tell your neighbors It’s the kind of app that only gets better the more people join.

5/5Really brings the community together!
I’ve been using how for weeks now and it’s a game changer for community interactions and has truly brought mine together. The conversation based threads are fantastic for sparking discussions on local topics, whether it’s about upcoming events, neighborhood news, or even just casual chats. It’s like having a virtual town square at your fingertips. One of my favorite features is packs. They really help unify the neighborhood by allowing us to form groups based on common interest and activities. If you’re looking to build stronger connections with your community and stay informed about local happenings, Howl is the app for you. I highly recommend!

5/5Howl is a Hoot!
This app revolutionizes your local neighborhood to the next level! From the user-friendly interface , to the directory of local users I’m not sure what more I could ask for. Whether it’s for down traffic light alerts or who has the best bagels in town, Howl is the ideal way to connect with your community. Recently I’ve met three neighbors who lived nearby for the past 15 years who enjoy cycling as much as I do, how neat is that!

5/5Great App to Build a Sense of community!
Instantly verified by my phone number, which obtained the City and street I reside on. Community information exists in packs - “think forum” For the city you reside in as well as a different pack for the street you reside on , you do have options to create a pack or join other existing. The street you reside on pack is beneficial especially when planning block parties or if there’s a lost animal.

5/5The best community app out there!!
Howl connects you with your verified neighbors and helps you stay informed about whats going on around you. You can easily discover nearby neighbors, stay in touch without sharing personal numbers, and find local groups ("packs") to get plugged into the community. I can’t wait to see what new features they are coming out with next!
