### 1/5 — Ads cause this to be virtually unusable

*2025-08-18*

The pop up ads force you to exit the app to get back to content. It makes this app almost unusable.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-07-30*

I think this app is intended for the sort of people who take cruises on carnival. Obnoxious ads that automatically send you to the App Store and then stop the application from working entirely. One must close the app and restart. If you read this review, and happen to be the individual charged with approving it, please pause to consider the detrimental effect this has on our opinion of your organization.

### 2/5 — Terrible representation of ASA

*2025-04-17*

So disappointed. Packed with full screen ads for cheap date/chat apps and lousy games, buggy app behavior too. So disappointing that ASA would put their name in this. Very few actual opportunities posted - none within a hundred miles (and I literally live within sight of the ocean). Sorry I signed up.

### 1/5 — New user registration does not work

*2023-12-22*

Now user sign in does not work at all, application drops SQL error wrong data format.

### 1/5 — Can’t register

*2023-11-29*

Not able to register for a new account, tried all of the 3 methods, tried in app and online. Error message says column 1 ‘birthday’ missing but there is not even a birthday field to enter in the registration form! Clearly a bug and needs to be addressed by the developer.

### 1/5 — Beware! Pay gateway hacked

*2023-06-10*

Pay gateway is used to establish over 18. It’s hacked! Credit cards will be denied then fraudulent charges appear.

### 2/5 — Reinforcing sexism

*2023-03-12*

I’m a married woman in my 40’s and I don’t need ads about hot single women every two seconds. I get that sailing is male-dominated, but give me a break

### 1/5 — Is this a scam?

*2023-02-22*

I downloaded this app based on ASA’s recommendation. Immediately there was a pop up ad so when I thought I was logging into the app I was logging into some random entertainment site.  That was a major red flag to me. I should have checked the reviews but wrongly assumed that an app recommended by ASA would be decent. After now checking the reviews I see that all the good teviews are from many years ago. The recent ones give it very poor reviews. I don’t know what is going on but I am going to delete this app and be more cautious about what ASA is recommending in the future.

### 1/5 — Too many flaws to list here - junk software

*2022-10-25*

They ask your marital status. I selected divorced. The first ads to pop up were “young, beautiful Ukrainian women” and other, similarly offensive ones. And zero response to emails asking for support. No easy way to delete an account. Bare-bones help section.

### 1/5 — Not worth downloading

*2022-02-03*

Has really obnoxious ads that randomly take over the screen. Have to  pay to turn them off. Ransomware!!
