There’s sooooo many fake profiles it’s not even funny. Suddenly the app stopped working can’t even log into it. Seems glitchy from time to time. ### 1/5 — Don't pay for anything on here! *2023-07-06* I purchased Premium and the transaction was approved on Apple's side, but it was rejected on Doongle's side. I'm unable to get a refund and the app seems abandoned by the devs, because they don't reply. ### 1/5 — Says my email is already in use, go to reset password, says user is not found under that email *2022-08-21, version 2.0.80* Very upsetting. I had many friends from all over the world (just the type of app I’d been looking for ages) and I cannot log in. It says when I go to reset my password that no user under that email is found, and then when I go to register with that same email it says my email is already in use!!! Please fix this issue!! I don’t want to remake an account just for this to happen all over again! ### 1/5 — Spam Harassment *2022-06-03, version 2.0.80* This App used to be a really good app I used to enjoy this app but now lately they have turn into a spam pornography, every time I go on this app I get spam profiles of half naked girls sending me messages and viewing my profile and theirs no way you can block them and report them , when you report them you get a message back saying failed so your stuck getting harassed by them spam profiles , I’m in the place right now if doongle don’t do something about this I will have to delete my account with them and find another app to join for my pen pals. I love this app but these spam accounts need to be removed as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — Needs updates *2022-04-19, version 2.0.80* Cannot write in new party chats and cannot leave party chats ### 2/5 — Notifications but No Reset Password *2021-10-28, version 2.0.80* Yeah.. I’ve been trying to fix this for months but never have been able to get a password resent to my email so.. I will go elsewhere. **Developer response:** Hi, please contact us via contact@doonglecorp.com - we will solve our issue asap. (please make sure you've registered your Doongle profile with email address not Google account. Many users forget they used Google login when signed up) ### 1/5 — Too many pedos and perverts *2021-04-29, version 2.0.76* First of all everyone here is either millennials or boomers and literally this app is filled with pedos and perverts like 40 y olds write wassup bbg like EWW NO 911 and most people here are dry af so I didn’t like this app at all if you a genz don’t download this and ruin your social media!!!!!! ### 2/5 — Meh *2021-03-17, version 2.0.74* This app is alright but it can be comparable to that of Instagram. Most people either post selfies or pics of food and that’s pretty much it. Instead of being a community where you can learn and exchange culture people are more preoccupied with finding love (not that there’s anything wrong with that) but it really defeats the whole purpose of this app.... There are lots of fake profiles on here looking to scam women (or men too, maybe?) and that can be pretty annoying and time-consuming. Most of the fake profiles are of Asian men with somewhat Asian names like Ken Wong or something; it kinda gives it away once you get used to seeing it. I am quite saddened that all these fake profiles kinda reveal the fact that Asian men (especially Koreans) get the most attention, given that the community is majority females. But oh well, I guess. ### 1/5 — Essential *2020-12-20, version 2.0.70* Unable to make new account because email is still on database after deleting past account. ### 3/5 — Glitches *2020-12-01, version 2.0.69* It’s a great app and is really fun but it glitches and some things don’t work ## Frequently asked questions about Doongle ### What is this app about?
