I play on a app with a friends of friends and it seems to be everyone is limping with all ranges of hands from 5-3 to AQ and only raising with high pockets. How should I be adjusting my pre-flop game to this?

If it’s an ap, I have to ask is it for real money or play money? If it’s play money then there’s nothing to say because it’s not really poker. If it’s for real money, the way you adjust is you go for value with strong starting hands and isolate the limpers. So if you have, say KQ with 5 limpers in front of you, make a big raise of 1.5-2x pot. Hopefully you get a caller or 2 that are calling with trashy hands, and then when the flop comes KQ3, you can stack someone who called with K10.

tighten up, isolate limpers and go to valuetown when you hit.

Thanks a lot guys!
Yeah it's for real money. 1/2 or sometimes 2/4 on phone app.

What about hands like 5-6 suited etc. Should I be raising like I would in a live game or just limp all the time since it's more than likely cheap.

What makes you raise with 65s live? boredom?
You should limp along with hands that can hit big and make the nuts, so suited aces and pocket pairs are great.
I would stay away from low SCs because they have reverse implied odds IMO
