"I've been a Mocospace user for 4 years and I've made a lot of online friends. I was so happy when they announced an app because I could just use it on my phone whenever but the app is such a disappointment. I can't enjoy anything without being interrupted by video ads (which take a couple of seconds before they could be closed!). I think I'll stick to the website." - Male Gamer (25)

What is the notice period on MocoSpace?
The notice period on MocoSpace is 1 day.
You can't access the premium offers without providing your credit card information first, which seemed sketchy. Additionally, you can only pay through your credit card and nowhere else (e.g. your iTunes/Google Play account). In their fine print, Mocospace allows themselves to charge you without needing additional notice or consent. Although a lot of dating websites renew subscriptions automatically, the wording in this is especially suspicious.

The MocoSpace app
★★★★★ 3.5/5
- Free users will get pop-up ads every few minutes
- Premium version of app only available for Android users
The default landing page on the app is the "Meet People" feature. You can set filters however you want to find the type of people you want. The app has a simple and user-friendly design. However, the functions seem to take a second longer to load. It may not sound like much, but when you get used to the seamless transition on apps like Facebook or Twitter, the difference becomes glaringly obvious.
Our field test
★★★★★ 2.5/5
Design & usability
The website looks neat and is easy to navigate. Much like Facebook, the timeline is full of new updates from other members. Unlike Facebook, the posts you will see on your timeline are of everyone on the website, not just your friends. The games are easy to find and fun to play. Video tutorials are available all around to help you find your way through the website. Because of privacy concerns, you'll find yourself seeing various warnings about sharing personal information on the website.
Special features
Mocospace is a mobile community that offers numerous games where you can play and make friends with other members.
Messaging and contact 2
StickersPaid
Stickers are just like regular emoticons, except they're bigger. They can be used in chats, instant messages, offline messages, forum posts, or comments. Some Stickers are free while others are not. Some Stickers have to be paid for using Moco Gold before they can be unlocked and used. Once Stickers are bought, you have unlimited access to them indefinitely.
Live Streaming and Live VideoFree
In partnership with ParshipMeetGroup, Mocospace has now live streaming and live video report. This live streaming video solution aims to deepen community engagement and provide more contacting features for members. People can connect and chat with each other easily through video.
Other extras 3
FriendshopFree
Friendshop is a hilarious game where "you buy and sell your friends". Yes, real people from your Friends list. Likewise, other players can buy you. The tip here is to buy low and sell high. When a person you own is purchased by another player, you and the purchased person both get profit. Whenever someone purchases you, your value goes up. Purchasing a person requires Friendshop cash, which is a fake currency only available within the game.
Street WarsFree
In Street Wars, you can play with other Mocospace members in a mafia setting. You can gain money and power by going on head-to-head fights with your enemies and completing dangerous missions. You are rewarded with points to improve your income, stamina, and health as you proceed through the game and recruit other players. As your mob of recruits grows, you are able to defeat your opponents more easily. Purchases using Moco Gold are available within the game.
Daily SpinFree
This feature is a sort of "Spin the Wheel" game that can only be played once each day. The Daily Spin gives you the chance to win a range of prizes, including 100,000 Gold, up to 200 trillion Street Wars cash, additional free spins, and so much more. Every spin results in a prize. Game prizes are automatically added to your ongoing games, and Gold prizes are automatically added to your Moco Gold balance.
Final results
3.5good
“Mocospace is a great social networking platform to find friends and have fun. However, its members are generally into platonic chat and fun games. If you are looking for your perfect match, you might consider trying other dating sites instead.”
