It would be 4 1/2 to maybe five stars. ### 3/5 — Fix the Location issues! *2025-11-30, version 11.5* Allow us to just fill in the location - whatever is currently feeding the location field is giving me cities that are actually neighborhoods in my area. Also just randomly doesn’t work, so I can’t list a new encounter. ### 3/5 — Great App, Lacks Stability *2025-09-19, version 11.5* The app is incredible well thought out and designed. It’s unfortunate you never know if the app will be working when you go to use it or not. ### 3/5 — Broken *2025-08-26, version 11.5* Used this and was glitchy and it broke. Then they updated it and it was better than ever. Ow broken again. No response from developer after submitting logs. 22May2025: They just updated it again, but the weight category is artificially limited to 63 kg for some reason. Glad it works again, sad it’s still glitchy. Update:26Aug2025: still needs work: height area broken, place area broken for some basic places; if you leave app, it often throws away data (doesn’t auto-save), opening a closed file often has app throw away data. Needs lots of basic work ### 4/5 — App is great if it would stay that way would be great *2025-08-20, version 11.5* App is great in idea and fills a great need. Unfortunately, app has crashed twice in the past couple of years and support was unavailable. Backup to iCloud did not work. App has been running well since May. I hope that the crashing and loss of info will be a thing of the past. I love this app - I’ve started over 3 times so that shows something. The app has so many customizable features that make record keeping great with statistics and health tracking. Fingers crossed app will continue to be outstanding. ### 3/5 — Great Except When It’s Not *2025-05-18, version 10.6* This app is fantastic except when iOS has any significant updates and then it seems to go buggy and not function at all. I would definitely pay for it to be kept up to date. There’s a legit need to track hookups if you’re into that (and I am), but it’s not helpful when it won’t open or crashes when trying to open or access hookup history. ### 2/5 — Crashing *2025-04-26, version 10.6* Site crash all the time and can’t restart or anything have to delete and start over, happen 3 times to me ### 3/5 — Please fix HealthKit integration! *2025-02-15, version 10.6* Great app! Enabling HomeKit currently crashes the app ### 4/5 — Most thorough app *2025-01-16, version 10.0.0* This is the most thorough app for tracking gay sex health. There is no doubt that any other app falls short of the goal of tracking and analyzing your sexual history. I do love that every aspect has an emoji to go with it. Very creative. Every update brings new features and the developers have been responsive to feedback. The developers always continue to improve this app, even after major incidences. I am very impressed by their dauntlessness. ### 4/5 — Bugs fixed 🙌 *2025-01-10, version 10.0.0* This app is the best hookup tracker bar none…when it works. It was a rough year for the app and it seemed to be down more often than it was working. Thank your favorite deity, bugs have been fixed and data backups have been enhanced, so it absolutely deserves the 5-star rating once again ### 1/5 — Errors…again. *2025-01-01, version 9.0.13* Works great for a month or two then app error crashes. Says hope to be fixed in next release. When it works - it’s great and love it…but it has to work. ### 1/5 — 👍🏻 *2024-12-28* A bit buggy in places but love the functionality and ability to customise the app. Edit: crashed for the second time and lost all data. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes on reports *2026-05-08, version 13.4.3* Can’t access years of data ### 1/5 — Always Broken *2026-01-23, version 13.0* Ah yes, another day that ends in “Y” and this app just…doesn’t work. Remove it and the re-add all the info back…and then two days later it just random breaks and you have to delete it and start over. ### 1/5 — Constant error *2026-01-14, version 11.5* I like the app but I have received the error below quite often and even on multiple devices. Unexpected error occured Apologies..The app will close now Please restart the app Signal 6 was raised. (null) ### 1/5 — Once great Now unusable *2025-07-19, version 11.5* I truly enjoy using this app to keep track of my encounters when it works. And it used to work without any Issues even when there were iOS updates. Over the past few years any update from iOS seems to make the app unusable and not even major updates but minor iOS updates or just not using the app produces errors. App updates as infrequent as they are don’t help. ### 1/5 — App not working *2025-07-04, version 11.5* For over two months now this app won’t open. Always hit with “unexpected error occurred” and then the app closes. Cant even access my old information, very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-05-22, version 11.0* Used this and was glitchy and it broke. Then they updated it and it was better than ever. Ow broken again. No response from developer after submitting logs. 22May2025: They just updated it again, but the weight category is artificially limited to 63 kg for some reason. Glad it works again, sad it’s still glitchy. ### 1/5 — Error when using *2025-05-19, version 10.6* Every time I try and open the app I get an error for the past few months. Annoying because I really like it when it works but when it doesn’t it’s so frustrating ### 1/5 — Crashed & useless *2025-05-07, version 10.6* App is UNUSABLE! once you have a few entries saved, it becomes unstable and crashes. You can either lose all your info and re-download or wait months for them to update on the App Store. Utterly useless. Zero stars. ### 1/5 — App Broke *2025-05-01, version 10.6* The app is a good app when it works. Seems to work for a couple months then can’t access until the next update. Tried other apps but this is the best. Wish the developers could fix it from crashing every few months. Would pay for the app if it does not crash every few months. ### 1/5 — Constantly Breaking *2025-01-13* With every app update, something breaks. Decided to switch to Excel, it may not have as many features but at least you control your own data and it doesn’t crash constantly. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Always improving *2026-05-08, version 13.4.3* This app is exactly what I want. New features are added and feedback is taken very seriously. Bugs get fixed (unlike Grindr). I wouldn’t go with any other. ### 5/5 — Always improving *2025-09-01* This app is exactly what I want. Feature requests are honored and bugs get fixed. I wouldn’t go with any other. ### 5/5 — Amazing when it’s working *2025-05-05, version 10.6* Truly a great app. The only con is sometimes it goes down for a bit. Like right now it can’t open but eventually it’s fixed. Thanks for designing such a great app! Current issue seems to be it having issue with pop up requesting a review before it has chance to login with face id ### 5/5 — Amazing when it’s working *2025-05-03* Truly a great app. The only con is sometimes it goes down for a bit. Like right now it can’t open but eventually it’s fixed. Thanks for designing such a great app! ### 5/5 — Broken again *2025-04-27, version 10.6* When this app works, it is best of breed, but it breaks way too often. Would be fine paying an annual fee for it if it wasn’t broken so much. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-03-16, version 10.6* The best app for tracking your encounters when it works. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-02-17, version 10.6* I love using this app and support is amazing. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-01-30, version 10.3.0* Works perfectly. This is the best tracker in the AppStore. ### 5/5 — Won’t load at all *2024-07-06* I’ve sent numerous error logs and requested support as the app won’t even load even after app update etc. please fix this app its great when it works properly. Update: they fixed the issue now works great again-thanks! ### 5/5 — I love this app *2023-11-27, version 6.3.0* This is the best app for journaling I have used ever. It definitely helps to remember what I did, with whom, where, and how risky. My other half also enjoys reading about my exploits, so this is perfect.
