### 5/5 — Cool Concept

*2025-12-01*

Neat idea & glad they have an incognito option. Dating and finding friends is harder in my 30’s 🙃 Hopefully more people in my city will get on it soon!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-11-29*

Great app just wish there were more people on it.  Can’t wait for this to “Catch” on!

### 1/5 — Can’t add required age or height range

*2025-10-31*

There is a requirement to add an age and height range but the app doesn’t bring up any way to enter that. There’s no keyboard or slider that pops up when you click them

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!  This bug, where the height and age toggle was missing for some users, has been fixed with the latest release.  Please let us know of any other issues.  We welcome your input.
