But it will still say I have no one around me even when I put the distance to MAX. How can it be ridiculous and how can it be that people are liking me but I can’t see them on the fee and the app trying to force me to pay to see who likes me. Terrible app and help you get as well. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Messaging *2026-08-21, version 12.14.0* This site does not enable you to send free messages even if it was just a few messages just to wet our feet .we are unable to see who “likes”us on this site. There should be better perks as an incentive for us to become a paying customer. ### 4/5 — Starting over This time with more substance and PEACE AND DEFINITELY MORE LISTENING & I truly see U! *2026-08-20, version 12.14.0* Getting a taste & feel of something I’ve been missing. So far exceptional ladies. ### 1/5 — Logs me out *2026-08-20, version 12.14.0* App logs me out and won’t let me log back in. Purchased boost & it wouldn’t let me use them. Tells me I have notifications when I don’t smh. I just want to delete my account but ic cuz it won’t let me log in smh ### 1/5 — New update look is TERRIBLE *2026-08-20, version 12.14.0* The update is TRASH . Why fix something that wasn’t broken ?? ### 1/5 — Log in issue. *2026-08-19, version 12.13.1* I downloaded the app, and it’s had a log in issue to the point where i can’t even log into my account after it signed me out. thank god i didn’t spend any money on the subscription because i was thinking abt it. don’t spend ur money!! ### 1/5 — Terrible app!! If I could give it zero stars I would! *2026-08-19, version 12.13.1* Couldn't even finish setting up my profile to experience the app. Every time I tried to set my profile picture it wouldn't let me put it up there even though my picture was within guidelines. ### 1/5 — Scamm *2026-08-18, version 12.13.1* You can’t even see anyone who likes your profile unless you pay. I paid the 9.99 a month and I still couldn’t see who liked my profile at all. This app is just a money grab for them ### 1/5 — Log in issues *2026-08-18, version 12.13.1* Bad update ### 1/5 — why change it? *2026-08-18, version 12.13.1* nawwww ... the new updates suck!! ### 1/5 — Ehhh *2026-08-17, version 12.13.1* App is money hungry just like any other app. Paid for the plat for the week with lil attention and then you have to pay extra for the boost….. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me login *2026-08-17, version 12.13.1* I’ve recreated a new account and everything and still won’t let me in this app is terrible ### 1/5 — Idk *2026-08-17, version 12.13.0* I can’t see anyone’s pictures not even my own profile pictures. ### 1/5 — Unprofessional *2026-08-17, version 12.13.0* They’re unprofessional and very disrespectful, not recommending to anyone. ### 1/5 — Scam! *2026-08-17, version 12.13.0* Horrible app, will not let you cancel your subscription when you are ready to! It does not show up in Apple settings under subscriptions! They have attempted to charge me twice, and there is no option to stop auto renewal! Will be reporting to the BBB asap! ### 2/5 — Lots of bugs! 👎🏽 *2026-08-17, version 12.13.0* First of all, ever since the update it’s been glitching chats or not showing them. In order to see your messages from people you have to scroll through your likes! Imagine someone with 900+ matches . The prompt is listed at the top . Which is DUMB for people who pay monthly for this app. It glitches every time you open a chat and if you try to respond the text box goes away and you have to re - find them ! FIX IT PLEASE ### 2/5 — Triflin *2026-08-17, version 12.13.0* Out of all the option there’s no LGBTQ community section to join. It be your own people per usual. Also, when uploading photos the turn grainy and zoomed all the way in. Of course the app support link doesn’t work. Triflin ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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🤷🏽‍♂️💯 ### 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 ### 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 ### 1/5 — Sham Clickbait *2026-08-22, version 12.14.0* The only thing you can do is either swipe left or right throughout the whole app. If anybody likes you, you can’t see that. If anybody messages you, you can’t see that. The only way you can do anything worthwhile is if you pay for the Elite subscription. Neither the Premium nor Platinum subscriptions will allow you to interact with men or women on the app. This is a complete sham and doesn’t really allow you to get to know anyone. This is just a money grab. Most of the people on here are on other apps as people just go from app to app. I definitely would give this no stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Trash(update) *2026-08-22, version 12.14.0* Latest update is trash. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Another update and it’s even more trash than before ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Random *2026-08-27, version 12.14.1* Just here to drop u some extra stars. You put a button where u can actually message people instead of that swipe bs that tinder does and have to match to even say hello. I like that, this is why i have changed my one star to four stars. I give credit when its deserved and i rate that improvement. ### 5/5 — Works! *2026-08-23, version 12.14.0* Found my true love and husband on this app❤️🙏🏾 ### 5/5 — Found LOML *2026-08-16, version 12.13.0* I was a typical girl who had a few apps, hinge, bumble, facebook dating and BLK.. I found the love of my life on this app and we now live together with 2 cats and have together for over 2 years now. Couldn’t be more grateful for connecting us. Now planning our beautiful melanated family(: ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-08-16, version 12.13.0* After a few months of being on here i met the woman thats about to be my wife soon. And We have a baby on the way ### 5/5 — 👍🏾 *2026-08-15, version 12.13.0* Great app ### 5/5 — Loving it *2026-08-13, version 12.13.0* Wife ### 5/5 — Best dating app *2026-08-12, version 12.13.0* Brst dating app ### 5/5 — Free is better *2026-08-11, version 12.13.0* The system is set up so that when you are using the free version it boosts your profile to make it seem like you have a lot of likes. Once you pay. Half of those likes are bots, repeat likes or people out of your preferences. Also once you pay your page doesn’t get the boost so your likes significantly slow down. This app is built to prey on those who are lonely. ### 5/5 — Can’t see pictures *2026-08-10, version 12.13.0* No pictures on profiles aren’t loading ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-09, version 12.13.0* Great yes --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
