Invasive verification & waste of time

My experience with the Archer app has been disappointing. The feature to scan my entire face multiple times for verification felt over the top and outrageous. Even after submitting my photos, it has been a week without any approval, which is frustrating. The slow communication from the developers has dampened my excitement about the app. The profile creation section was a huge waste of time since I can't use the app until it's approved, and the wait time is apparently a month or more. I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone, as there are other options that make it easier for communities to get together and connect.

Still waiting

I’ve had this app downloaded for quite some time waiting for it to be active in my area. The Instagram is actively posting things to promote the app and yet it’s only available in nyc. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

Done!

I filled out my profile, no inappropriate nonsense was on there and they rejected me. Over before we had a chance to begin! #scammers

The ultimate waiting game and not progress

Ok so I created this account like last month, and supposedly they said the nyc area will BE available in Mid July. Well, you guys didn’t stick to that plan. It’s almost August, and still nothing. How about don’t make this app worldwide if it’s not available in some areas yet. The ultimate waiting game with no progress. Wonderful.

How long is the line?

Hey y’all. Putting together the profile was easy but waiting is hard lol! Do you know when the South Carolina region will go active?

Love the Browser Toggle!

I absolutely love the browser toggl! So much easier to see profiles and navigate so you can not spend your whole time just trying to work the app! Love Archer!

Registered 2 weeks now and still error messages

I have been registered for 2 weeks now and still “Hold Tight” “We are almost ready for you” error messages when I try to access. By the time I get access I will have to change my status to “Old Troll Deceased” Still can’t tell if this app is totally free. Please reference what all the acronyms mean.

Thanks so much for reaching out! Users with Archer profiles in the New York area will be able to chat with other users nearby in mid July, with other regions coming soon after. We recommend turning push notifications on so you'll know right when we're available in your area. We look forward to seeing you on Archer soon!

Wants phone # right off

App asks for phone number right off. Not gonna happen. I get enough spam texts and calls now as it is. Needs an authentication revamp.

Response from developer

Hi SaddleBear, thanks for reaching out to us! We ask for your phone number to significantly cut down the risk of an account takeover. Having your phone number also makes it easier to recover your account if needed. We hope to see you on Archer soon!

Much needed in the gay apps scene

I’m really enjoying this new app. It’s so social and easy to start conversations with all the interests tags and interactive features. Plus it looks really clean and different from other dark and untrustworthy apps. Def keeping this on my phone

Junk

Photos required to complete a profile but you can’t add the 3 you need. Randomly lets you pic photos but not the ones you actually want. Slow loading and I feel this is going to turn into a nickel and dime the crap out of you to get anything worthy out of the app.

Great start! That’s if it’s even in my area lol
