### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-01-23, version 1.7.3*

The app won’t let me log in. Obvious bugs

### 1/5 — App offline

*2024-07-16, version 1.6.8*

Can’t delete my account, nothing works

### 3/5 — MBTI

*2023-11-06, version 1.6.7*

Add MBTI or at least let users put it in their bio, that would make matching OP

### 1/5 — I want to delete my account

*2023-08-03, version 1.6.6*

Your app is stuck in adding contacts and will not let me do anything.  I want to delete my account.  How do I delete my account???

### 1/5 — Customer Service

*2023-06-08*

My app must have been broken for about a month now. Nothing will load on any tab, no matter how good my wifi or data is. The first time I noticed this issue, I went to the email they suggested I reach out to to report it. I have yet to receive a response from them, despite that first email being three weeks ago, and sending an additional three emails. They tell us they want our feedback, but won’t help when I express that I’m having an issue with the app.

### 3/5 — A couple bugs

*2023-04-20*

Great app! I noticed two bugs in the past week. It won’t let me invite anyone to the app or search anyone, so I can’t add anyone new anymore. It also won’t give me a new score when rescanning some of my friends, even after we’ve both answered new questions. It just says new scan not available or something.

### 1/5 — Can’t create account

*2023-04-14, version 1.4.7*

When I try to create an account, I get an error that it has failed. “Error making account. Something on the path from your phone to our servers…”

### 1/5 — Deleted Account; Wanted to Make a New One

*2023-04-13, version 1.4.7*

Hello! This is a pretty funny app with friends, but one night I decided to delete it due to me wanting to “restart” the questions. However, now, I can’t create a new account despite me getting the verification code over and over again. I don’t know if this just a permanent ban on my number/in general if you delete your account, but I felt like there wasn’t much I could do through the UI to seek help. Thank you.

### 5/5 — OBSESSED

*2023-03-30*

Literally became obsessed with this app since my friend showed it. I’m trying to get all my friends on it the only thing I would say for them to add is an option to scan out of camera roll 😭 for us long distance friends we can’t scan irl and it’s a pain having to put up the codes on another screen to add my friends. But I love this concept and I will keep using this app!

### 5/5 — Can’t login into account after deleting it and making a new one

*2023-03-29*

Love the app. But I deleted the account and wanted to make a new one but it wouldn’t let me login to make a new one. Maybe a new account system is needed
