What's New in Archer Gay Dating
19.0.0
December 12, 2024
Thousands of guys are joining Archer every day! And guess what? Each one has a face pic so you don't have to date in the dark. This version includes bug fixes and performance improvements.
I think Archer is a great app if you are looking to date, a hook up, or friends. It is way better than Grindr for sure. What I don’t like about it is someone can still DM you even though you both didn’t like each other. I feel like the only time you should be able to DM each other is if both parties say yes and match. I feel like it can lead to disappointment to the other party. Also, you should be able to change your profile setting where other accounts can view you within your distance. For example, if I set my distance to 60 miles. Then only the accounts within 60 mile radius can actually view my profile and like it or view it. No offense if someone likes me or messages me who is hundreds or a thousand miles away why would I want to date or hookup with someone that far away. Is Archer going to pay for the trip? It just doesn’t seem logical. Lol. Sorry for being extra. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is great that Archer requires a face picture and you are not just talking to a blank profile or a picture of half a person.
