### 1/5 — If youre black prepared to deal with harassment

*2026-07-23, version 6.6.8*

Its one thing to deal with harassment in public but this is suppose to be an inclusive subculture yet when I put my boundaries in my bio, and I get harassed for simply stating my boundaries, when I report it they say theyll report it AND DO NOTHING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO HARASSED ME!

### 3/5 — Bigger City Mobile Site

*2026-07-17, version 6.6.8*

BC needs an upgrade. Especially for those with paid subscriptions. Robost filters, better questions /choices for polling, and what we can see on a pc should match what we see on the phone (note the case now)

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-07-15, version 6.6.8*

It’s a great place to feel attractive as a Super Chubb.

### 5/5 — They’re nice

*2026-06-17, version 6.6.5*

They all seem to be nicer over here.

### 1/5 — Constant crashes

*2026-05-14, version 6.6.4*

Seems like each new update brings more frequent crashes. It’s almost unusable now.

### 1/5 — Boycott

*2026-05-12, version 6.6.4*

I open a ticket to complain about someone harassing. But instead they close my support ticket. I responded calling them useless Cu**s they deactivated my account WITH NO WARNINGS!!!! It’s true Brian and team you are useless cu**s. Eff you and ur stupid app!

### 1/5 — Don’t Bother

*2026-05-05, version 6.6.4*

I used to use this app which was very functional now it’s so quirky that it’s just not worth it. Even every time I try to buy a VIP or sign up again it won’t take any of my information, blah blah blah it a bore….

### 4/5 — ❌

*2026-05-02, version 6.6.3*

Most are rude and expect you to hookup with them

### 4/5 — Area-dependent, but good

*2026-04-18*

The only complaint I have isn’t about the app. So I won’t go into depth aside from saying if you’re in an area with not a lot of people you’re interested in, unfortunately no app will fix that. However, I’d rather have an experience like with BC to where you get very few actual people hitting you up as opposed to bots, etc. Has great potential for future development too!

**Developer response:** Thank you! We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue enjoying the community and app. We are constantly working on growing the community in more regions.

### 1/5 — Low bar

*2026-02-27, version 6.6.0*

The non-black men on this app like many other apps aren’t friendly towards black men.
