User reviews

Not updated and apparently few real users

Question how many real users this app has. Most seem to be entirely fake or scammers.

Very few features work properly, including blocking people and deleting messages, this isn’t good enough for an app that costs £18 a month.

Not clear if the app is ever updated. It feels dead in several ways. Very demoralising if you genuinely want to make friends.

I wonder if the developer will delete this review as well?

Great concept, Empty app

You won’t find friends here. I think most people are no longer active if they managed to make a profile years ago. Too bad.

not genderqueer friendly

downloaded app. about to add my age. see that the only options are male and female. deleted app.

Doesn’t work

Will not work. Cannot set up app - it freezes

money hungry

DON’T GET THIS APP

you have to pay to be able to do anything other than swipe on people and edit your profile. i can’t even see if anyone added me.
it also gets your location wrong. i’m 1 hour from shelby but it says they’re 20 minutes away even though i have my location put in
