Friend search apps have been increasing recently, but it's confusing which ones are safe and easy to use. Many are limited to women, but Favomatch specializes in finding friends for supporting your favorite idols, and it's interesting that you can connect with others who share the same interests. On the other hand, Touch requires a photo ID and has 24-hour monitoring, so it might be good for those who prioritize safety.

When choosing a friend-making app, the most important thing is whether it has comprehensive safety measures. DotMatch and Bumble have reporting and blocking features, and BFF Mode allows men to make friends with the opposite sex. However, the search functions vary quite a bit depending on the app. Some apps let you search by holidays or hobbies, while others don't support searching by location, so it’s best to choose based on what you prioritize.

Personally, I feel that for those in their 30s and above, apps aimed at middle-aged users like "Somri" tend to match their goals more easily. Since many apps are women-only, options for men are somewhat limited, but Bumble offers cheaper male fees and can be used in friend search mode. Ultimately, the most important thing is to find a safe app for making friends, so I think it’s best to carefully check the identity verification and security features before choosing.
