### 1/5 — 1 star for a valid reason

*2026-08-25, version 12.14.1*

Limited swipes, after 5 swipes it’s no longer local and will start showing you people over 200 miles away, don’t bring you closer to your match so you’ll end up forced to pay just to see who likes you…old and new tinder is better🤷🏽‍♂️💯

### 3/5 — More options

*2026-08-25, version 12.14.1*

a platform like this is good but why must we pay for everything and the amount is high.. we’re just a few people trying to find love and to have to pay with nothing set in stone I feel is a little waste of money just to even see who viewed your profile or who even has interest.. I have paid for services before and same outcome, NOTHING 🤣 nerveless thanks for letting me vent

### 1/5 — App sucks. Just use BlackGentry

*2026-08-24, version 12.14.1*

They keep updating the app but it’s trash now. The new updates suck. I’ve had better luck on BlackGentry and Tinder

### 1/5 — Messages

*2026-08-24, version 12.14.0*

I can see my likes/messages

### 1/5 — Don’t install unless your African American

*2026-08-24, version 12.14.0*

Yea if you’re not black you’re getting shadow banned immediately

### 5/5 — Works!

*2026-08-23, version 12.14.0*

Found my true love and husband on this app❤️🙏🏾

### 1/5 — WORST DATING APP EVER — CONSTANTLY GLITCHES AND LOCKS YOU OUT!

*2026-08-23, version 12.14.0*

I am extremely disappointed with this app. I literally just created and fully verified my account today, and it is a complete waste of time. I barely even used it before the app randomly logged me out for absolutely no reason.Now, every single time I try to put my phone number in to log back into my verified profile, it pops up with a red error saying "Can't login contact support."To make things even worse, their customer service is a joke. I reached out to support to get help with this obvious system glitch, and they had the nerve to tell me they "can't find my profile"—even though I just went through their entire verification process! The app is completely broken, the automated security system flags innocent new users by mistake, and support does absolutely nothing to fix their own database errors. Do not waste your time downloading this app until they completely overhaul their broken login system and train their support agents properly!

### 1/5 — New update

*2026-08-23, version 12.14.0*

The new update is trash, you can’t even see your matches

### 1/5 — This app sucks

*2026-08-22, version 12.14.0*

Glitchy. Awful dating pool. If you put a radius of 25 miles you get results 300 miles away

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-22, version 12.14.0*

Scam , no one talks what so ever . Someone will ‘like ‘ my pic but then never reply or talk back . Screams scam
