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. ### 4/5 — Point of agreement feature suggestion *2023-03-24* Very fun app! I like answering these sorts of questions and knowing what my friends think too. I think the point of agreement feature is quite interesting, but I would like to see a point of disagreement feature too. It could prompt some interesting discussion and healthy debate among friends! ### 4/5 — Layout is too big for iPhone SE *2023-03-23* I can’t see some of the options on the screen because it’s optimized for bigger phones :( I wish they would change that or at least have a settings button to adjust the ratio ### 1/5 — No uppercase names *2023-03-16, version 1.3.8* Very disappointing app that is polarizing our youth by not having any uppercase names. Smh ### 1/5 — Problems *2023-03-16* I think the app is really fun, and I would love to actually use it. However every time I download it after a certain period of time it tells me that I haven’t done my onboarding questions (I have) and doesn’t let me rescan with anyone. I’ve had this same problem twice now, and the first time I deleted my account by and made another one, which worked for a while but the problem started up again. I want to use the app! It just won’t let me ### 4/5 — Fun *2023-03-16, version 1.3.8* Fun interactive not the most accurate tho like why doesn’t it take into account Valorant stats? Like I’m a vandal main my friend’s a phantom main and it says we’re 95% similar. That’s impossible. Please revise. ### 2/5 — Friend insights? *2023-03-15, version 1.3.8* This app is very fun and they are marketing it very well: I don’t think I’ve shared an app with this many different people ever. But it says once you add 16 people you’ll get access to “friend insights”. I wanted to see what that is but all I’ve done is provide them with more users :/ ### 1/5 — . *2023-03-14, version 1.3.8* i can't create an account ### 4/5 — Need Privacy Options *2023-03-14* I love the way this app is set up, but I would like to see some more privacy options regarding who can view your scan refreshes, maybe limit it to a friends only or maybe even allow users to create a list of people that are able to view their scan refresh updates. I don’t like the fact that I can see even my friend’s friends compatibilities that I am not connected to, and they can see my friends friends. ### 4/5 — Decent app *2023-03-14, version 1.3.8* It’s not bad but my girlfriend and I only have 40% compatibility so obviously there is a bug ### 1/5 — It’s definitely an app! *2023-03-14, version 1.3.8* It’s okay, but actually pretty boring and childish.. 100% wouldn’t use more than once. Please save your storage and delete!! ### 1/5 — 🧙‍♀️ *2023-03-14, version 1.3.8* Let us search for friends to add them ### 1/5 — L *2023-03-12, version 1.3.8* This app ruins friendships… do not and i repeat do not download this app is you want to keep your friends 💔 ### 1/5 — God Awful User Experience *2023-03-11* the developers of this app must be children or must've made this as a weekend project. why does it not give you the option to invite people tht aren't in your contacts or have some alternative way to invite or share with friends? isn't that the whole point? user experience is terrible. L app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — I got a low score with my gf *2023-03-28, version 1.4.2* We were supposed to get 99, instead yall gave us 7% ### 1/5 — Cannot delete account and info *2023-03-20, version 1.4.0* Cannot seem to delete account and info after setting it up. there is not settings menu or anything really other than an up sell to share to friends and to scan someone else. Garbage UX ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX THE APP IM SAD I WANT TO DO QUESTIONS *2023-03-19, version 1.3.9* my app doesn’t work it never gives me new questions and always says something went wrong ### 1/5 — Unable to register with my phone number *2023-03-17, version 1.3.8* I am unable to register with my phone number, it keeps registering error 1 bad code. Please fix this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Great app, a few issues *2023-03-22* I love the app it usually works well, but I am at the point where almost all of my friends have stopped working. I just can’t rescan them, it will let me press the button but it doesn’t actually do it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but it did not fix it. I also have the issue with if I press the send all button, it tells me some of my people on the list are not my friends, but I have scans with them. Along with the issue of not being able to rescan, I have a few notifications from people who have scanned me that do not go away when I view them, and I can’t rescan them. These issues unfortunately make it really hard to use the app since most of my friends don’t work anymore. I do love the app when it is working though! ### 5/5 — Add a “Send All” option when sending questions *2023-03-21* Can we have an enhancement added to have the option to send questions to all friends instead of individually clicking on each friend? ### 5/5 — Mmmm *2023-03-10* - plz allow the ability to change profile photo to emoji of choice - have each questionnaire add towards a more accurate prediction, vs a new % from scratch each time - ability to guess what your match guessed, to see how your guess compared to reality /// Currently you need to scan 2x in a row to see the latest % which is odd /// Cluttered hierarchy in the finished questionnaire screen ### 5/5 — mbti-heads rise *2023-02-27, version 1.3.3* neat little app for young people to think about their personality types for funsies!! not perf but fun and cool ui/ux and features (streaks! pin friends!) thanks checkmate! ### 5/5 — Mmmm *2023-02-03, version 1.2.2* - plz allow the ability to change profile photo to emoji of choice - have each questionnaire add towards a more accurate prediction, vs a new % from scratch each time - ability to guess what your match guessed, to see how your guess compared to reality ### 5/5 — Dynamic way to connect! *2023-01-13* This app is too fun hahaha I have an exam next week and I should be studying but I’m spending all my time answering these questions and rescanning my friends 😊😅 ### 5/5 — super interesting *2023-01-09* It’s super interesting to see what % you are with different people. It’s not always who you expect. My whole gc got on it, it was fun to see how we stacked up. It feels like the whole school got on it in two days, it was kind of insane. All my friends were checking their scores with me. My boy got a 99.5% with his gf but only a 56% with his ex. And a girl I know got her highest score with her RA lol. Idk if it’s gonna last, but right now it’s one of those world stopping things here. It’s really cool to be in it. ### 5/5 — my new superpower?? *2022-12-12, version 1.1.1* Dude this is seriously so sick. My best friends and I checked our compatibility with each other and I got over 99% with both of them? I guess we’re just meant to be omg we’re officially a throuple now 😌 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
