Typed in my CITY. Typed in my city, my former city, and many cities. Keeps prompting me to “CHOOSE LOCATION” Deleted app & reinstalled. Still-no luck. 😫 ### 2/5 — Getting in *2023-10-07, version 2.0* Unable to get code sent to phone. It never comes to allow me to get started ### 1/5 — Dumb app. Fire the team who did the coding *2023-09-28, version 2.0* Can’t get passed the phone verification ### 1/5 — Still not working. *2023-09-26, version 2.0* Been over 10 days of them having a “glitch” you can’t sign up. Don’t waste your time downloading it. ### 1/5 — Customer support? *2023-09-25, version 2.0* Would love to actually experience and see what this app is all about but considering I’m not getting any text verification when trying to set up an account and the company isn’t responding on their social media page I’m forced to leave nothing but a one star review guess I’ll be sticking with scruff and growlr until proven otherwise ### 1/5 — I can't sign up *2023-09-24, version 2.0* I drop in my phone number - it says a code will be sent... but it never does Any advice? ### 1/5 — Issues *2023-09-19, version 2.0* Can’t get past the sign up page. I enter my phone number for the code and it never sends the code. So guess I’m not going to waste my time with it. ### 1/5 — Is this really a working app? *2023-09-16, version 2.0* Downloaded and just like the last few people, it never sends a verification code to my phone. Reached out on Twitter and they said the glitch would be fixed soon, still not working. So is this even a real app?? Are the positive reviews not real? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-09-15, version 2.0* Can’t get past phone number verification ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work *2023-09-12, version 2.0* Can’t get past phone number verification. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2023-09-11, version 2.0* Giving it one star because I’ve downloaded it on multiple devices and can’t seem to get past the phone verification part in the sign-up process. I just am not being sent a verification code which is really disappointing. I was excited for the launch of this app and hope they can work out these glitches so I can actually give it a positive review. ### 1/5 — Can’t even sign up *2023-09-10, version 2.0* I’ve downloaded this app several times and each time it asks for a phone number to sign up and it NEVER texts the activation code…ever! It’s just very frustrating. ### 4/5 — Good app *2023-08-19, version 2.0* Fun app, very friendly to use. Great to be able to customize your profile. Messaging work really well too! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dissapointing *2025-09-28, version 3.2* Was excited to see an app by the community for the community, but this was just dissapointing. I've tried this app out three times now. Had issues with the app not working, tried upgrading and features didn't work, trying to choose a filter crashes the app. I recently saw that the creator was still posting on tiktok like this app was still go ng, but when I went to check it out again, there was literally no one left and profiles hadn't been touched in several months. Could have been super cool and hope it can be fixed in the future. ### 1/5 — Paid for upgrade nothing was upgraded *2025-04-12, version 3.0* When you pay for the upgrade you get all the features they list. I paid for the upgrade but did not get any of the listed features. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-08-17, version 2.7* After completing the profile setup, 100% displayed, a pop-up states I must choose my communities from the list, which I did 3 times, completed the people again and nope. Deleting the app, please delete my data. ### 1/5 — Malfunction *2024-07-27, version 2.3.3* The issue with the code was fixed and yes I was willing to give you another try. Now at the end it asks me to choose a proper tag. I had already selected 3 tags. My profile set up was 100%. I went back to see the tags and they were selected, then following the steps forward again it had deleted everything else. No thank you! ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-05-13, version 2.3.3* Trash! Could not even get past set up. Asked you to enter a city and then freezes. ### 1/5 — App cashes when you enter your city information. *2024-01-14, version 2.3.1* Cannot make a choice if it crashes every time. I reloaded the app twice with same results. ### 1/5 — Broken, can’t create account *2023-12-31, version 2.3.1* App has a field for city, no matter what you type it pops up a second field beneath it that’s blank. Trying to continue will make the second field show red text saying city is required. When you tap that field the app totally crashes out. Rinse repeat forever. ### 1/5 — Does not send verification code *2023-10-12, version 2.0* I would love to try this app out, but I only get to the sign up screen. I have requested a verification code multiple times to no avail and have just given up. I have checked all security settings to see if anything is there cause, but alas all is functioning properly. ### 1/5 — Crap App *2023-10-06, version 2.0* Can’t even sign up. I say it’s a scam to steal mobile numbers. ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-10-01, version 2.0* Does not pass phone number verification ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 10/10 Compared to other apps on market. *2025-05-07, version 3.0* Way less ads, better flow of communication between guys, never had an app that feels more inclusive and enjoyable of an experience overall! ### 5/5 — Game changer! *2025-04-07, version 3.0* Love this new option! Great to have a queer owned and operated alternative to the other apps out there! Some cool features too!! ### 5/5 — Awesome site! *2023-09-07* The best app out there for bears and bear lovers. Easy to use, fresh, and better UI than growlr or biggercity or wbear. Plus I love that it's gay owned and operated. ### 5/5 — Great app for bears, chubs, and those that love them! *2023-08-27, version 2.0* I love that this app lets you give many stats about who you are and what you are looking for!! Very user friendly ### 5/5 — Great for chasers! *2023-08-20, version 2.0* As a big bear chaser I’m so glad there is a new option with a better UI. Happy to also support a independently owned and operated gay company. Good luck to you guys! ### 5/5 — Yes try it! *2023-08-17, version 2.0* I had a friend talking about this and I have to agree it is really great 🐻 ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2023-08-16, version 2.0* Awesome app. ### 5/5 — Fun and fresh! *2023-08-16, version 2.0* A great way to meet guys in your community! These guys have put a lot of work into this app. Give it a shot and see whatcha think! ### 5/5 — A new take on gay dating! *2023-08-16, version 2.0* I wanted to share my positive experience with Bears Looking. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I appreciate having an app tailored for bears and their admirers. The app's user-friendly interface made it easy for me to connect with others who share similar interests. What stood out to me was the inclusive and respectful atmosphere within the BearsLooking community. I've had the opportunity to meet some great people and explore different connections. The safety measures, such as profile verification and user-blocking options, added a sense of security to my interactions. If you're looking for connections within the bear community, BearsLooking could be a good fit. It offers a pleasant platform for engaging with like-minded individuals and finding potential connections. 🐻 🏳️‍🌈 ❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-08-16, version 2.0* Love this new app Bears Looking. It has a great user interface. Overall this has a much more positive energy than other queer dating apps. Highly recommend it!!! Give it a try. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
