  • Banned

    Cant create my account, trash app
  • Horrible

    One of the worst apps I’ve ever used. I had to make two separate accounts because they kept getting banned for no reason the first account got banned after I had already deleted it. Then my second account also got banned for no reason when I tried to contact them like they told me to. I got no response back, I emailed them again still didn’t get a response back garbage company all together/ update: I ran into two separate accounts of 40-year-old men wanting to hook up with minors. I reported both their accounts, and yet they still repeatedit to show up. And yet my account, my fourth account has been removed for apparently no reason.

    Try to email support again. If your account got banned and you create new accounts they will also get banned, so you need to resolve the issue with the initial account. We are working on implementing even stricter device banning so hopefully that will completely resolve the issue of banned users reappearing on the app. We work very hard to moderate and keep spam levels as low as possible.
  • Issues

    This app is nice at first, but when you sign up and verify your image, there’s just a bunch of spam accounts adding you trying to promote and send inappropriate photos and messages. If this gets fixed I’d 100% install this app again, but in the mean time I hope you guys work on getting this fixed and removed.

  • Great app but terrible protection.

    This app is by far one of the best dating apps or app to find friends; however the app doesn’t seem to have good protection against bots. Whenever I go through to see who I can add I just get bombarded of bots or people pretending to be who they aren’t. You can clearly see in the verification photo that it’s just a picture of a phone with someone else’s face. The security measures just completely ignore this.

    This is another thing that isn’t really relevant but I feel like there has to be a way to get rid of content creators from Feeds. I’m trying to find friends and relationships. I’m not trying to buy something from a woman who sells her body.

    The membership is at a great cost of just $5, but Every week seems excessive. I recommend going for like a $12 a month membership.

  • Strong Warning

    So I won’t lie I’ve been looking around on here to meet some new people, after a good day though I started noticing strong hints of fake profiles and what seemed like scammers. I went ahead and added some of these scammers and started chatting with them to see what they’re game is and they play the whole “selling NSFW material” gig, well on the side I run a small scam buster operation so I decided to use some of these tools on these scammers and yep my suspicions were right I was seeing IP address pings in Singapore and Nigeria mostly playing as New York white girls so folks just watch yourself out there.

    Also note to the devs the scammers have figured out they can take another persons phone probably a coworker at their scam center and pull a pic up of the girl smiling they’re playing as and it works for the verification process. Not sure how you guys could fix that I would add a private verification process that requires personal information the scammers can’t easily get like a driver license or something of that nature but that’s just my recommendation.

    We are working on updating the verification photo code to make it harder to fake. We work hard to ban scammers but they tend to use residential proxies.
  • What??

    I loved this app and it was so easy to communicate with people but now what happened! It keeps kicking me out of my account even tho my account is appropriate, my bio has nothing sexual in it neither my pics. And now it’s not even letting me log in why!!
  • Update: verification should be completely optional

    I blocked/declined/reported several accounts/requests promoting NSFW content but they're still coming back with a different/similar name that intend to violate your TOS guidelines: (No NSFW content, no Onlyfans promos etc) I still strongly suggest that you implement a device/IMEI ban from creating new accounts so that they won't come back on Wave and also force people to buy new phones in order to keep using Wave if they familiarize with the guidelines. Anyway it still decent some new friends/streaks but still needs a lot a work. Edit: With the recent update, verification should be completely optional without forcing a VIP membership like many apps like Wink have optional verification. As a person who doesn't like showing my face, I believe I shouldn't have to pay $25 per month (calculation from $5 per week) in order to not have my face on my profile while using the app. Only certain features like showing verified profiles should require verification and the rest of the core features should be left alone, my suggestion is you should require everyone to a have a phone number verification to keep bots out just like Mapsy does.

    Thanks for the feedback, we will take it into account. So far the verified feature has been pretty good in removing fake accounts/bots, and we still have backend changes we are implementing to make it even more effective. We are also working on updating our device banning feature to make it more reliable, as most of the issues we deal with are from a handful of users with multiple accounts.
  • 1 star is being generous

    App is filled with fakes and money hungry “content” girls. Only met a few genuine people to chat with but that is 1 in about 100 people. Also it’s the same fake accounts adding me🤣 not obvious at all
  • My Snapchat got PERMANENTLY Locked!!!

    Do NOT under any circumstances use this app. I had my Snapchat account for 4 almost 5 years since I was a teenager. Downloaded this app to make new friends then the app crashes Snapchat logs me out and I try to log back in and it states my Snapchat account has been PERMANENTLY locked due to violating Snapchats TOS. (I.e. using third party apps and linking them to your snap account, and spammy activity from me adding 5 people today max!!!!!) Literally everything that I’ve had on that account. GONE
