BEWARE: Phishing App!

No App Support & Can’t Signup:

I downloaded the app and followed the instructions to sign up, when it came to location, I hit the button to enable location services, I turned off precise location and selected “only while using the app” which seems appropriate. It froze there and the progress wheel just spun indefinitely. I tried everything to fix the issue, even deleting the app off my phone several times and reinstalling it. Nothing worked!

So I came to the App Store to contact support for the app and once I clicked on their website, I quickly realized it’s no longer an active website and there is no way to get in contact with the developer.

BEWARE… it may simply be a fake app used to gather personal information from people under the guise of legitimate reasons. I can’t see why you would have an app that doesn’t work, allow your website domain to be lost and the only thing that works is the gathering of personal information!

So many fake profiles

Please add a verification process or a screening process. I’ll help you out: if woman’s profile has supermodel-like pictures, says she attended Moscow university, and “fully embodies the work hard play hard mentality,” it’s a fake profile. It can’t be that hard to set up a screening process to prevent those from getting past the first step. Every single day I have a new like from another profile with those same qualities. The name and pictures are different (though still women with full lips and flawless skin), but the responses are the same. I can tell from the very first picture that they are going to be from Moscow University, or occasionally California, and “fully embody the work hard play hard mentality.” Please do something about this. It’s ridiculous.

So. Many. Fake. Accounts.

My headline says it all. Also, the help menu isn’t helpful, let alone the contact page. Whenever you click to see a solution, or to contact, it simply closes the page. Also, the age parameters thing is useless. I’m 41, and have my settings at 28-44, yet it show A LOT of 18-21 year olds on one end, and then 50+ year olds on the other, rarer with anyone within my actual settings. The spammy, fake accounts; unhelpful help and context page; and, useless age settings (location, too, for that matter), render this app a waste.

Disappointing

The app is disappointing overall. The location settings are evidently far from precise… all of my matches by default are no where close to being within my desired distance. Additionally they all seem to be coming from NJ specifically for whatever reason.

At the same time, the app will not let me even try to change my location… the option to edit seems to only be for show because it replaces whatever I type with my original location. Worst of all, the developer offers no way to get real customer support. They offer a “support” page that has only general help information and offers no support for the many technical problems I’ve experienced so far.

I’d like to leave a better review once I see that these problems are resolved, and I hate coming across as being so negative… If the developer reaches out I will be more than happy to cooperate with them. To their credit, the app has shown me plenty of great people and is an overall good idea… I just need a little more than what I’ve already been given.

Has potential, but is littered with scammers

Long story short: Pretty much what it says on the tin.

The app is very similar to Hinge, both aesthetically and conceptually which is pleasing, but as others have mentioned, at least 50% of the “users” are scammers. I’ve been getting duplicate accounts of multiple people liking my photos and messaging me. I like the format, but until the scammers become less of an issue, I can’t recommend this app to anyone. It is nearly unusable as it stands.
