I love that people can be more upfront about what they’re looking for without all the awkward guessing games. The app is easy to navigate, has a fun vibe, and feels much more relaxed and authentic. Definitely one of the better dating apps I’ve used. ### 2/5 — Money grab? *2026-08-23, version 80* Why do I have to pay to see who liked me? I understand seeing one at a time but blocking all the profiles until I pay is crazy. ### 4/5 — Good review *2026-08-23, version 80* App is good at giving people out too look at could get better at the texting part but overall it’s a good app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pretty sure it’s all fake profiles *2026-08-24, version 80* I don’t believe half of these people are real ### 1/5 — Such a bad dating app. *2026-08-23, version 80* What is the point of a dating app if you can’t even see who likes you?? You also only get 10 swipes.. if you don’t pay, it’s useless. ### 1/5 — GIANT SCAM *2026-08-22, version 80* The only messages you’ll get are from the APP. EVERY SINGLE DAY. No way to turn it off. Repeat profiles with different names. Another waste of money. Can’t even see the pictures clearly. Covered with graphics and heavy blue/red color screen. ### 1/5 — Trouble setting account up *2026-08-22, version 80* My camera is open for use, and yet Everytime I get to the face recognition part. The camera wont appear. Just a purple oval saying “center face here” ### 1/5 — Smh *2026-08-21, version 80* The guys on here are not sure what they want and are playing games ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-08-21, version 79.2* Expensive can’t use without paying for anything ### 1/5 — Glitch : Unable to Send Messages *2026-08-20, version 80* Glitch : Unable to Send Messages. UPDATE: Support said they are aware of the issue but have not resolved this. Unfortunate. Sucks to have matches and no way to message them. ### 1/5 — Absolutely trash app *2026-08-20, version 80* Used this app for 2/3 weeks.. one match and no one local to me, all 100+ miles away.. it’s absolutely terrible and a waste of time ### 1/5 — Pretty useless for crown dependencies as we’re not in the UK *2026-08-19, version 80* Shows you all the english and you cant restrict your location more ### 1/5 — Wack *2026-08-19, version 80* Just want to charge for a message and like is crazy back to mocospace I go ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2026-08-26, version 80* This app is simple to use and it’s easy to find people to match with. There’s plenty of women on the app and they all seem nonjudgmental and open to meetups and wild dates. It’s inexpensive for a VIP subscription and worth the few dollars. If you’re looking for something different where everyone isn’t the same type of person, try Down. Highly recommended by my friend & he was right. A+ ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-26, version 80* Great app ### 5/5 — jason *2026-08-26, version 80* i love down!!!! ### 5/5 — Best casual dating site ever *2026-08-26, version 80* I love this site it so easy to use and real as it comes.
