Its mostly fine for what it is. But 1. I don't like that when you block someone you have to report them. Idk if reporting even does anything, but sometimes i just dont wanna see an account anymore but i dont wanna say they harrassed me or anything. Id like to have the option to block someone without giving a reason. 2. Nowhere in the app or settings gives options to get notifications, it asks once when u download so if i later decide i want notifications i have to delete and redownload, thats annoying. 3. Not an issue, just a suggestion: a blocked list. So i can see who I've blocked and unblock someone if i want 4. Why doesnt age change? Despite having my account for years my age stays the same. You should be able to change it or it should change automatically on your birthday. ### 2/5 — Download and deleted more times than I can count *2024-11-14, version 3.8.36* This app was better 10 years ago ### 2/5 — The kind of people on this app *2024-07-26, version 3.8.36* This app is great but there are very weird people on this app, gold diggers, and even sex extortionists. Believe me when I say this, this app is invested with bad and horrible people. DO NOT GIVE AWAY ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFO. ### 3/5 — What’s happened *2024-06-27, version 3.8.36* This app could go so far with the specific features built in, especially as Omegle is gone, it could be the no.1 social networking app, but since it hasn’t been worked on in ages; there’s just an influx of terrible people bots and discriminatory individuals. This app could especially work with this generation of people however no input has been made to improve it since it’s been released. ### 1/5 — Worst app full of fakes close it down *2024-06-10, version 3.8.36* Worst all full of fakes close this app down or get sued ### 1/5 — Very ignorant *2024-04-12, version 3.8.36* No one wants to match and chat just skip and waste time ### 1/5 — Have to pay to reconnect with friends?? *2024-03-29, version 3.8.36* I made a friend on this app and we exchanged friend requests and accepted eachothers and when I went to message them the next day it said Id have to pay to speak to them again?? ### 1/5 — Enter at your own risk *2024-03-17, version 3.8.36* I have never been more disgusted and disappointed in an App. The creators have seeming abandoned the app leaving it exposed to illicit activity due to its lack of monitorization. The kicker of it all is despite all of its issues the creators are more than willing to continue profiting off of the buy coins features. Glad that’s still alive and well! This app experiences frequent bugs and crashes. The majority of its user base are bots, scammers, sellers, and catfishes. They have removed basic features such as, Top Users, the Chatous website, and adding via username etc. Lastly, but most importantly it has become a platform for anonymous accounts to share explicit content of children (CP). Sometimes these accounts go by something as blatant as the name, “Kiddies Stuff” or “Links”. Or go as far as making the subject there profile picture. Despite attempting to contact the app several times they have refused to do anything about this. So please enter at your own risk. ### 3/5 — Adding users by username broken *2024-03-17, version 3.8.36* Pleaseeeee fix this issue, i’m holding on to this app for dear life🥲 ### 1/5 — If you like mens genitalia… *2024-02-08* This app is full of men flashing their junk . As for women - just more men dressed as women flashing their junk . The developers must be so desperate to keep this crappy app going . They too must like men’s genitalia as that is what they promote . ### 1/5 — Poor app maintenance *2024-02-08, version 3.8.36* The app has not had an update in a long time, notifications are failing to work and adding people by username feature (private username, not profile name) is not working at all! This app had potential now idk ### 2/5 — It used to be okay… Now it has sold out. *2024-01-28, version 3.8.36* I’ve been on and off on this app for a quite while now. Met a handful of people, mainly moreso during the pandemic. Now it’s just mainly bots, and they have sold their website domain to a chat AI sort of website. The app appears the same, but when the site is viewed on a browser, it’s AI. ### 1/5 — It’s creepy *2023-12-11, version 3.8.36* I mean, sure, it functions well but KIDS STAY AWAY!! There are creeps on this app but I just happened to delete it because there was this kind person who made me delete it- he asked me all sort of scary stuff and I told him I wasn’t comfy enough to answer them and he responded with fair enough, which is true. I got really uncomfortable which led me to deleting it - cuz that person said so. ### 1/5 — Creeps *2023-09-27, version 3.8.36* This app is a mix of 98% creeps and 2% celebrities ### 1/5 — bugs and broken *2023-09-19, version 3.8.36* the app is so bugged and i cant change my bio or pfp and for some reason the reconnect user wont work it says failed to add user ### 2/5 — Ok but still a sausage fest *2023-08-09, version 3.8.36* Nuff said ### 1/5 — Buggy and no way to delete account *2023-08-06, version 3.8.36* What kind of app has no way to delete an account? Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Don't pay for this app *2023-07-21, version 3.8.36* I mistakenly paid for the tokens. Complete waste of money. As a heterosexual male, there are very few women on this app and of them a large percentage are sex workers or scammers. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Weirdest app ever *2025-05-11, version 3.8.36* The app used to be great back in the day but is now full of scammers bots and weirdos. But on a positive note I did meet my soulmate, my one and only 2094, who without the app I wouldn’t have met so I’ll always be glad I went on there and found my diamond in the rough. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2025-05-11, version 3.8.36* I used this back in the day Used it again after a while and it was all bots and fake people. But i did meet a genuine women 2094 and well we hit it off and now shes the love of my life my shortayy ❤️ ### 1/5 — This app is catfish land and weirdos *2025-03-31, version 3.8.36* I’ve been on this app for 3 years and encountered bots or females trying to sell nudes or black mail attempts chatous fails to remove these people from the app which makes people like me feel less safe using this app I really would give this app zero stars if I could ### 1/5 — All spam *2025-03-27, version 3.8.36* Don’t waste your time or money. All scammers ### 1/5 — Wasted 4 years of my life *2025-03-26, version 3.8.36* I had the unfortunate experience of meeting someone who I ended up being with for almost 4 years. What a waste of time. Avoid this app! There are mostly weird and unhinged people on this app and it isn’t worth it! ### 1/5 — Yall need to update this app so bad. *2025-02-22, version 3.8.36* I've used this app for almost 10 years now off and on, and oh man, it used to be WAY better. You actually met lots of people, somewhat normal people, now you're very lucky if you do. The app is now flooded with perverts, pedophiles, rapists, bots, fakes/catfishers and just very disgusting and weird people. The lack of moderation is probably why like some said. And also there hasn't been a update in YEARRRRS. I like the app because of how it works and SOMETIMES you find someone.. But eh, its not really worth going through heaps of creeps. ### 1/5 — Devs don’t care about app. Too many fake accounts. *2024-10-23* It seems like the devs stopped up keeping this app a long time ago. They got their bag and bounced haha. The app is drenched with fakes/catfishes/bots/scammers that only want to know your information and to get you to download telegram among other apps for some reason. Major identity risk on this app as it’s clear that the devs have put no effort into making the app secure in anyway. Don’t feel safe. Once in a blue moon you’ll be able to talk to someone “normal” that’s “not fake.” The devs have not even attempted to fix their app in years. Zero effort to make things better. That tells you that they just don’t care. There is an inapp purchase option that allows you to filter between genders. Do not give your hard earned money to ppl who do not care about you. That goes for all companies. It seems like every company now a days has the same motto. “Worst quality for maximum profit” smh ### 1/5 — Pedophilia *2024-10-22, version 3.8.36* A ton of pedo profiles that just want to send you underage nude pics. Even their bios say it. Report function obviously doesn’t work. This app needs to be taken out of the App Store. ### 1/5 — Wish I could give 0 stars *2024-08-14, version 3.8.36* This app is rampant with child pornagraphy and needs to be shut down immediately. How it continues to exist on the App Store is beyond me. Someone needs to do something it’s absolutely disgusting. ### 1/5 — UNSAFE AND CREEPY *2024-07-03, version 3.8.26* The app functions well and it is easy to work, however many of the people on there are looking for specifically women to show them nude photos. And I mean really nude, this isn’t safe for children or even teens. The people you meet on here are quite disgusting and have no respect for anyone’s personal space. I got asked to show my body and my bottom and it would ‘make someone’s day’ I found this inappropriate and offensive. This app should be deleted and I don’t recommend you going on it, unless you are looking to be sexually teased and are brave enough to show yourself on camera/video. I would give this 0 stars if I could.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it 😈 *2024-06-16, version 3.8.36* Might as well make this a dating app so many DL freaks 😈👊🏼💦 ### 5/5 — Review *2024-05-05, version 3.8.36* Really good app I tend to use it pretty often. But the main reason I give it two stars is because there are people on the app that classify themselves at “sellers” of adult content and I come across many every time I get on the app ### 5/5 — Why took the video chat out *2022-12-25, version 3.8.35* Put the video call back in it again ### 5/5 — I Found my Wife Here. *2022-12-18, version 3.8.35* Look… I know this sounds wild, but I downloaded this app 7 years ago. Matched with a girl who lived 3 states away. 7 years and a lot of details later… we’re married! Had a daughter, bought a house, got a dog… no seriously, I’m deadass. Wild story, because this app had an integral part in bringing my family together. ### 5/5 — The best you’ll ever get *2022-10-17, version 3.8.35* 5 only because I found 1 good person on there ### 5/5 — Made a great friend *2022-08-01, version 3.8.33* I downloaded this app for the first time back in 2015/2016. I matched randomly with someone from Norway. We chatted for a bit and became friends. We mailed candy from our countries to each other. All these years later, I am still friends with them and keep in contact! I just found this app again by trying to figure out what app we had met on. Hopefully my friend and I can meet in person someday! For that, I say thank you. ### 5/5 — ميزة البحث *2022-07-30, version 3.8.33* ميزة البحث فاشلة اي عندما ابحث عن حساب شخص لا يطهر لي رجاء قوموا بتعديلها..ويرجى اضافة ميزة معرفة عدد الموجودين في البرنامج ### 5/5 — i love this app *2022-06-02, version 3.8.33* i met my boyfriend of 5 years now on this app, best thing i ever did. ### 5/5 — Anjeanette *2022-03-16, version 3.8.33* Anjeanette ### 5/5 — Found the love of my life *2021-04-11, version 3.8.32* Downloaded this app when I was 16. A year later met with the guy I had been speaking to (not saying you should go meet strangers off the internet. I got lucky). We’re engaged and living together never would’ve happened without the app. He lived over 100 miles away and this app brought us together. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
