Love it

This feels way more like a site for natural interactions there are no angry profiles here it’s relaxed and the profiles are inviting and this feels like a social space and not just a hook up site full of guys who have been wounded.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the feedback, Nicholas! It's important to us that Archer feels like a safe and inviting place so we're so glad to hear that's what you've found—and we're glad to have you on Archer!

Drag Entertainers Beware.

For anyone that is an entertainer this is going to be impossible. Even with my stage face being close to my original. It’s still coming up with hang tight messages. I mean I get that I don’t look like a cabana boy but really?

Response from developer

Thanks for reaching out! Archer is currently live in NYC, LA, Texas, DC, Atlanta, and San Francisco, and we're expanding to other cities over the next few weeks! So it's likely that your selfie is verified and we just haven't come to your area yet. If you are in one of these spots and you're still experiencing issues, please email support@archerapp.com. We can't wait to have you on Archer!

Not able to message anyone

I can’t send messages to anyone at all even with the most stable Wi-Fi! Maybe it’s because the app is still young

Every time I want to check the message tab, the buffering symbol does not go away 😭😂

Response from developer

Thanks so much for reaching out! We experienced a brief messaging outage yesterday which is likely why you couldn't send messages. Please come back on Archer and try again! If you continue to experience issues, please email us at support@archerapp.com.

Another app that wants your phone number

Just another app that requires your phone number. Who knows what they do with this information.

Response from developer

We appreciate your feedback! It’s important to us that everyone on Archer is real. Therefore, we ask all users to enter their phone number during sign-up so we can text them a verification code. We hope to see you on Archer soon!

Response from developer

Thanks, ArcherFanz! Love to hear that you're enjoying the app!

If you’re not from NYC, don’t bother downloading

This app goes out of its way to make sure people knows that NYC is ready to go. For the rest of us, who’s been hanging tight waiting for since forever ago are left out unattended. Don’t bother to download this app, because they don’t care or they didn’t think of everybody else outside of NYC when they launch this app.

Please keep notifications turned on so we can let you know as soon as we've arrived in your area!

Can’t even use it

Just signed up and already banned? How does that happen. I’m banned because every single app is owned by the same company banned on Tinder you’re banned on everything. And never a good explanation. Even after reaching out to customer service.

Response from developer

Thanks for reaching out! Archer is currently live in NYC and expanding to other cities soon, so if you're outside the NYC area it's likely just that we're not quite in your city yet! If it still appears your account is banned and you believe this is in error, please email support@archerapp.com.

Still waiting

I think this app has good potential, but i dont think i can wait another month for this app to be available in my area.

Response from developer

We appreciate your feedback! We don't like waiting either ;) But we promise it'll be worth it. We're currently live in NYC, coming to LA later this month, and expanding to other cities soon. Please keep notifications turned on so we can let you know as soon as we've arrived in your area!

Verification issues

For those people with glasses and have nothing but pictures of themselves with glasses this is not the app for you. The verification part for getting your profile certified doesn't work for those with glasses and will continue to show errors. The sad part is you can't continue to use the app without the verification part cleared so you are stuck with a non-working app.

Won’t work

It keeps telling me to upload a profile picture which I’ve tried about 500 different photos and they all fail. Each time I upload them and they are a clear picture of my face. I have spent numerous times trying to get it to work and can’t seem to get the photo uploaded. Which means I can’t browse or use the platform because I don’t have a completed profile. Also, there’s no support section for you to reach out to somebody. It just takes you in a bad loop of troubleshooting.
