Die Profile sehen mehrheitlich nach USA aus. ### 1/5 — Too limited *2024-05-18, version 2.9.84* Again here is another app that just limits connections for profits. I tried it and realized that after a few minutes of use that I couldn’t communicate with anyone who liked me unless I paid. Which seems to defeat the purpose of downloading the app to begin with. If it’s a new app, it should do something different then all the other apps like scruff, grinder etc that limit gay connections and help break down the social barriers that are becoming more problematic with all the fake accounts that seek out information about us for scams. This app had an opportunity to do something different and improve the community and instead it just seeks profit. ### 1/5 — Cant edit bio *2023-11-05, version 2.9.34* Changed to bio do not save ### 1/5 — Not very good *2023-10-08, version 2.9.34* Can’t send or receive messages. Notifies of notifications but where are all the “liked” items. ### 3/5 — Ok *2022-12-21, version 2.8.0* Ok ### 1/5 — Liars and cheats! *2022-11-20, version 2.7.5* Liars and cheats! ### 1/5 — Come across profiles *2022-11-13* American, Canadian and European based ### 1/5 — Si no pagas directamente al entrar no puedes hacer absolutamente nada *2022-08-17, version 2.7.3* Completé el perfil y sorpresa - si no te haces premium no puedes hacer absolutamente nada . Como se esperen que alguien pague sin saber cómo funciona la app - es una de las muchas apps malísimas de contacto por aquí y si lees que es mejor que grindr tiene que ser de su mismo departamento de marketing ### 1/5 — Among the worst apps *2022-07-26, version 2.7.3* 1) The user interface is straight up from 1990. 2) Most profiles are unverified fakes. 3) Go to this app’s reviews, sort by MOST RECENT, and you’ll see all 5-star reviews written in the same style. It’s clear the developers are writing fake reviews to pump up the horrible app. 4) The functionality is pure garbage. Loading icon spins and spins, app crashes, and the last bug fix was 1 year ago. They only want your money!! 5) Pro-tip: Apple has a very liberal refund policy and will refund your hard-earned $ within 3 days of signing up, no questions asked. So glad, bc these apps are getting so money-hungry, don’t fall for the hype!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Leider unbrauchbar *2025-12-11, version 2.10.20* Mehr Englisch als Deutsch ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-07, version 2.10.20* When using it freely you get several likes, it seems like it uses an algorithm for who is liking you based on your taste in men. As soon as I paid for it the likes stopped until I reported this. Then I noticed a few likes a day. I sent the original likes all messages, I never got any messages back. If they were able to communicate (and were real people) then why not message back since they are the ones that initially "liked" me? The message icon always said I had 1 message in a red bubble notification. The only 1 I ever had was from the app, which I deleted. This 1 message notification never went away. I don't trust this app at all. It said my annual subscription would be 30 something but they charged my account 40 something dollars. This is thievery. Imagine 40 dollars multiplied by the thousands/millions/billions of people that subscribed. That is rich quick and easy scheme. ### 1/5 — BOSSMAN77 *2025-03-20, version 2.10.19* Today I was cleaning out my phone and noticed that I had an unusual app there, I have NEVER been on amongst some of the other in which most are worst than filing out a job application, mainly because, all they do is ask you the sameeeeeee old questions over and over etc… it has literally taken me about (10 mins) to figure out how to delete this app. OMG WOW!!!! They make it soooooooooooo hard to say goodbye lol🥸😎😜 ### 1/5 — Leider nicht für iPad optimiert *2025-02-03, version 2.10.18* Profile werden auf dem iPad nicht komplett angezeigt. Man kann dadurch nicht mit irgendwas interagieren. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2025-01-10, version 2.10.16* Saw this and thought it d be good to use, like the other, apps as it was free. Boy was I wrong. Can’t swipe left or right anywhere on the app. The guys on the grid: no indication of how far away they are or if they’re local. Only been on it less than a day. Won’t be staying on it much longer. No functionality like the other apps. ### 1/5 — Highly not recommended *2024-12-18, version 2.10.16* Highly not recommended ### 1/5 — Like the others *2024-10-10, version 2.9.109* No new ideas. Swipe left swipe right no imagination. I understand getting y ### 1/5 — You’re so busy paying for everything you can’t chat *2024-08-27, version 2.9.108* Charge me once for everything ### 1/5 — App inutile *2024-08-05, version 2.9.106* Aucune fonctionnalité de disponible gratuitement ### 1/5 — Good app but *2024-08-02* I can’t see the likes because it needs to pay, okay but why can’t I match with anyone? What’s the matter of receiving a lot of likes and none of these men appearing on your home page? 😭 **Developer response:** Soory mate, but we have no way of influencing people to talk to you! Please try initiating a conversation from your side ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Catscha *2025-12-17, version 2.10.23* No deja escribir la app es muy limitada y siempre te pide que Pages pero igual de doy 5 estrellas. ### 5/5 — Love *2025-08-11* Wonderful app I love to be here ### 5/5 — Like it *2025-01-28, version 2.10.16* clean and easy to use ### 5/5 — Joseph *2024-12-16, version 2.10.13* Very nice people I love it ### 5/5 — Best *2024-10-30, version 2.9.109* You guys app are the best ### 5/5 — Tôi rất thích catcha *2024-09-10, version 2.9.109* Tôi rất thích catcha ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2024-03-26, version 2.9.79* Todo ### 5/5 — 🤚🤚🤚🤚🤚🤚🤚🤚 *2023-10-15, version 2.9.34* Teghubregjbyh ### 5/5 — Cool *2023-01-19, version 2.8.8* Cool et sympa ### 5/5 — very few ads! *2022-07-18, version 2.7.3* Lots of options to filter through what you need exactly. Though I wish they didn't list people that were off your preferences. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
