Anyone still use this?
I still see a few real people, but it's a profile graveyard on this app.
Abandoned
Paperwork for Covalent hasn't been renewed in years, the CEO disappeared, and the guy second-in-charge is spending money earned from the app on crypto. 90% of the user base is gone. The friends only feature is broken and they aren't fixing it. Most people you'll run into are scammers. Leaving this app on the app store is a security hazard because the longer this app doesn't receive security patches, the more likely someone will steal payment information. Go look at "Chinese Parents" if you want a solid example of this.
This app used to be the best dating app out there. In my 6 years of searching, I never got as many conversations as I did on Kippo. The sad part is that I probably never will given that the dating app market is completely scummy thanks to Match Group and that Apple keeps encouraging their borderline illegal business practices.
Go use Facebook Dating or go outside. I gurantee that you'll get a better experience there than this.

Beautiful, but buggy and empty
This is the most gorgeously design dating app I've ever seen. Seriously. The way the card system is designed is truly beautiful, and it brings a lot of personality to each profile. Congrats to the art team
That said, aside from the app being really really empty, it's main and most basic function is bugged. Every 3-4 swipes, no matter the direction, repeat. After you swipe on 3 people, the same 3 people will appear again, sometimes twice over. That makes the daily limit of swipes burn really quickly
Fixing that essential bug and maybe doing some advertising would fill up the app because it truly deserves it. Hope to see it back soon

needs selfie verification.
needs seflie verification…. needs to be mandatory. too many fake people
how can I see who matches me without paying? total sketch
How can I see who matched with me if I have to pay for it. Honestly, this dating app is sketch, I'm a gamer and how the **** am I supposed to use this with full efficiency if I don't see who likes me or not. I hope the devs see this, I would like to see the first five people who matched me and talk to them for a total of 3 days. Plus the pricing for the premium service... too high, it ain't worth the price... I asked a couple of friends who use a dating app like this, they looked at the fees for premium, they said even they wouldn't pay that much for 3-6 months much less a month. They've said they been on dating apps for while but never had to pay for the amount kippo is asking!!!
My advice to those who are considering this app.. Don't attempt fate with this app, it ain't worth the time

5 stars for scammers
Never have I ever been attacked by scammers and catfish as much as on this app. There is no setting to enable notifications. If you want to message people on this app in a timely manner you better go to telegram or Snapchat because you’re not going to able to here. The interaction base on this game is terrible when you go into “the kippo verse” you expect to be able to meet with people on there near you but instead they are always 5000+ miles away. Your settings for matching with people goes out the window in the kippo verse.
The whole scammer thing starts with bare bones profiles which is already a red flag but you bypass it because she’s cute then they make up a whole story that they are excited to meet you and they give you plenty of feedback. Then when it’s time to meet oh no I need gas can you send me money! You just instantly think how stupid you were for falling into a trap and block and report but you actually know that reporting them a not going to do anything.

Its meh
I live near the LA area and all i can say there isn't that much matches to begin with there is a handful of people whos active and actually looking for friends or a relationship. I would say 75% of the people you would swipe on is inactive/dead accounts , bots and people promoting their twitch! The upside to this app is you can talk to a lot of people far from you (different countries) so if you’re on here to date you’re most likely to have a long distance Be warned about buying subscription just cause you received a lot of likes i had 50 likes and was curious so i bought the monthly subscription they all turned to be people from 2,000+ miles away from me 🤣i felt scammed Pros: Meet people from far away Cons: to many bots and inactive people Not sure if developers even read this but i have one suggestion : disable or hide user who haven’t touched the app for over a month!

Disappointed
so I got Kippo back in 2021 as my first dating app and it was quite successful considering I connected with many and as the times went by they added a hangouts section with avatars you can walk around in a world and have voice chat with.
I redownloaded it on December 27, 2023 and is disappointed because they reverted everything back and there are so many inactive profiles on here because out of my redownload. I've seen at least 30 of these people out of 100 and I know they don't use this anymore because I connected with them outside of Kippo.

Scam product. Stay away!
I paid for the 1 year subscription plan. After about 2 months on the plan, the message feature that allows you to send someone a message when you like them stopped working. I gave it a bit of time expecting it to be fixed in an update, but it never was. I’ve reached out a half a dozen times now to their support and have received no response. I’d like a refund and Apple refuses it because it’s passed the refund period, despite the fact I’m not receiving what I paid for and my subscription period is far from over. Plus, the service is flooded with fake accounts. I would avoid these thieves like the plague.

The downfall of Kippo
I got this app very early on in its history. And I met a handful of people from it, was good for a bit. But then the wall hits.
There were always barely any people on this app. And I live in Chicago! One of the biggest cities in America.
So it didn’t have the best start. Early on I knew there was an issues with this app and its advertising when I only found it through a Twitter ad. None of my irls, cosplay mutuals (many who are women), co-workers, or random stream convos have ever heard of this app. And that is this apps main demographic! Y’all should of been advertising at gaming and anime conventions. Have a bunch of streamers pitch the app for people to try!
Then the real kicker, technical errors!
The app barely functions half the time. Stuff breaks on a regular basis. And the money to fix this? All went into the stupid kippoverse!
A metaverse knock off money sink that was fun to run around in… for 10min tops…
And the people in there? Barely any looking to actually talk or do anything.
And are they closeish by? No, never, everyone was in it all over the country+Canada
Anyway, this app is on its way down to the bottom if it isn’t already there. Blame ur marketing team because how no one in the scene knew of this is beyond me and blame whoever was in charge of that kippoverse idea for sinking money into extra features that didn’t attract or maintain enough quality clientele while the rest of the app imploded!
