Takes too long to open

I have 17 pro max and i have given all the permission to app but app takes too long open sometimes more then 2 minutes every app works fine except this one.

Barely works

App only loads sometimes. Rest of the time just freezes on the logo screen. Totally pointless trying to use it

Very sly -_-

Set up the entire account, liked profiles, got excited — and then I’d have to pay a subscription to actually talk to people. What a rip off

Technical issues

I’ve had this app and it was working so well but for the last year I’m unable to load up the app unless I delete the app and reinstall it again super frustrating and such a shame they won’t fix this bug.. despite being reported.

App won’t load

I’ve used this app many times over the years and have loved it. I’ve made a few life long friends on here but now that I have moved I am feeling more alone than ever so thought I’d give this another go. But for some reason there seems to be a bug meaning I cannot open the app at all. It just stays on the yellow loading screen.
