### 3/5 — Can’t delete

*2025-12-24, version 1.2.22*

Met my current partner on here! I prefer to only date climbers so it’s perfect. Only getting three stars though because neither of us can fully delete our profiles, even when using the “delete account” option. We tried the email provided as well, but the emails don’t go through.

### 3/5 — Decent app, dead relative to other dating apps

*2025-08-05, version 1.2.21*

Should market more to get more users

### 4/5 — Great idea but frequently glitches

*2025-06-28, version 1.2.21*

I love the concept of this app—I’ve met several climbing partners and even two previous boyfriends through it! But the constant glitches are incredibly frustrating. Even restarting the app doesn’t resolve the issues. I’m frequently prompted to upgrade to premium, but I can’t justify paying when the basic version isn’t functioning properly. I’ve just reached out to support for the first time and am currently waiting for a response regarding the latest glitch.

Updated to add: quick and helpful response from the support team!

### 2/5 — Career options

*2025-04-24, version 1.2.21*

Why is there no MD option? There is only PhD or Masters as the highest option

### 4/5 — Idea bella

*2025-02-15, version 1.2.21*

Ho l’impressione che ci siano pochissime ragazze iscritte, e molte cercano solo chi gli fa sicura o chi ha i crashpad. Zona milano/lecco è cosi purtroppo

### 3/5 — I can’t make an account

*2024-12-29, version 1.2.20*

I think this app would be good if I was able to make an account and it didn’t just say “unable to create user”

### 4/5 — No users but great concept

*2024-12-09, version 1.2.19*

There's no users in a 100 mile radius of me. You should allow users to set different locations, so if I'm traveling to Yosemite, I can find someone to meet.

### 3/5 — SF Bay Area needs more promotion

*2024-09-18, version 1.2.19*

Bouldering is literally the number one activity in Tech in the Bay Area. As mentioned by other users, I also ran out of swipes in one day. This app needs more marketing so I can find my muscle mommy.

### 2/5 — not operating

*2024-02-13, version 1.2.17*

2 of 3 times I enter the app, it doesn’t work, saying my first foto has to show my face which it does!

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2024-02-11, version 1.2.17*

I cannot login with e-mail or apple…
Uselss

### 3/5 — Great idea! Needs more people though

*2024-02-03, version 1.2.17*

Really dig the platform. But there’s not enough users. Changed my distance to 100 miles and only had 5 people in my city

### 1/5 — Weak

*2023-11-26, version 1.2.14*

I find it hard to believe that there are no users matching the widest parameters within the very populated area that I live. So… this app is pretty much useless.

### 1/5 — No users

*2023-11-06, version 1.2.14*

There’s nobody on this app, like at all. Nobody. I paid the $20 just because I was curious (you have to pay to change your location more than once a week). I’ve just been adjusting my location to different climbing destinations all over the country just to see…….I swipe through everyone. It’s done after 20 profiles in every place. I haven’t gotten even one single match (and that’s never a problem on any other app). I think I’m just seeing a bunch of people who set up a profile like a year ago and then just stopped checking and forgot about it. Good idea, but they need to promote it more or something.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2026-02-26, version 1.2.22*

I have been trying to install this app and it will not let me login at all. Just freezes whatever option I try to login with.

### 1/5 — Zero people zero stars

*2025-11-27, version 1.2.22*

No matter how I adjust the filters, location etc. I mean I tried EVERY possible variation and location. It NEVER shows anyone…
Lame. But costly.

### 1/5 — Profile creation wayyy too specific

*2025-11-14, version 1.2.22*

I saw this app from an Instagram ad the other day and thought it was a cool concept, so I downloaded it because why not? Well, as I’m trying to make my profile, I keep getting shut down trying to add my first photo. Can’t be wearing sunglasses? Can’t be with someone else? HAVE TO BE FACING THE CAMERA? Like I get why you’d want the primary picture to be a valid picture of your face, but in my camera roll, I don’t have any of those where I’m ALSO climbing. I’m usually more focused on the climb and the other environmental factors that come into play. I’m sorry, I just think that’s a really dumb thing that’s going to keep people away, because it’s just not realistic.

### 1/5 — Very few people :(

*2025-08-19, version 1.2.21*

Very very few people ! For some locations any ! Even without filters. That’s very disappointing you paid for nothing, the app needs a huge marketing to get more users

### 1/5 — Inconnu en France

*2025-07-25, version 1.2.21*

Dommage

### 1/5 — No profiles

*2025-01-23, version 1.2.21*

Thought it might be fun, signed up for the paid Pro version, all filters off, distance set to max… no profiles to show (in LA!). Seems like maybe they ought to build a user base before prompting people to subscribe, or at least give an introductory free month or something. Contacted Apple for a refund per the customer service response, which was approved so props for that I guess.

### 1/5 — Basura

*2025-01-06, version 1.2.21*

No deja ni abrir perfil, no deja abrir perfil usando apple, simplemente dice que no se ha podido crear perfil, si lo intentas por email te dice que te enviará un codigo pero nunca llega. Basura

### 1/5 — Premium is a waste of money

*2025-01-04, version 1.2.20*

Paid for a months premium and had maximum distance but run out of matches in a few days. User base is not big enough to justify premium.

### 1/5 — Can’t create an account and bad privacy

*2024-08-24, version 1.2.19*

0/3 of the account creation methods actually work when using a VPN and awful app privacy. Quit collecting every bit of user data. Apart from that there are basically zero users on the platform.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-07-30, version 1.2.19*

Account creation failed

### 5/5 — La mejor app

*2025-12-02, version 1.2.22*

Un sitio que cuida de sus miembros y que nos pone en contacto con gente con la misma pasión.
Muy recomendable

### 5/5 — Great idea and customer service

*2025-10-08, version 1.2.21*

I really wish these guys the best of luck, it is a great idea and I hope it catches on in more places. 

Unfortunately in my area I didn’t really have any results. 

But they were very prompt in responding and helping me submit a refund request.

I am sad to say the app didn’t get me the results I was hoping for, but I can’t blame them for lack of adoption in my area. Perhaps they can get marketing materials in the climbing gym franchises. But I am happy to say I did get a complete refund.

### 5/5 — Found my soon to be Wife

*2024-12-02, version 1.2.19*

Can confirm. Great app. Found the perfect woman.

### 5/5 — Legit, community just needs to grow

*2024-08-16, version 1.2.19*

This app is legit. Very well designed with good prompts for climbers. I’ve seen no fake profiles. The membership base just needs to grow.

### 5/5 — Met my husband!

*2024-06-23, version 1.2.18*

Met my current husband on this app last year! I think this app everyday :)

### 5/5 — Location matters

*2024-06-07, version 1.2.18*

I tried this in Oklahoma, and the app showed me like 5 people, and I might have matched with one of them. I moved to Denver, and the app is much better.

### 5/5 — Met my life partner

*2024-03-06, version 1.2.17*

Downloaded the app as a sort of cute way to meet friends and climbing partners, now I’m moving in with my boyfriend who I met on the app. We adventure and climb all the time! 10/10 would recommend

### 5/5 — Quality people

*2023-03-15, version 1.2.13*

This is not a huge app, but it is perfect for climbers!
I have had a few nice matches on there and I would highly recommend it as a download

### 5/5 — Fun app! 🧗🏻‍♀️

*2023-03-15, version 1.2.13*

I downloaded this app after hearing about it on a podcast. So far, I’ve met two people on climbing dates :) Even if the user base is still small, it’s still fun (and funny) to share the app with your climbing buddies since the questions are climbing focused! Thanks for the cool app :)

### 5/5 — Cool concept, not enough people (yet)

*2023-01-22, version 1.2.13*

If you’re reading this, the app is very smooth and works well. I didn’t see any fake profiles, as all the profiles I saw had pictures of nearby crags and climbing gyms. The only downside is there aren’t yet enough users! I think I swiped through 10 or so profiles before running out of people to swipe through :(.
