Glitchy

Can’t click through the app it looks like something created from an AI code

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate the feedback and are always working to improve Goose. If you're open to it, we'd love to learn more about your experience. You can reach us through “Help” in the app or at https://goose.app/contact so we can look into it.

AI Slop

The men who appeared in my city (the largest city in Canada) were mostly AI (8 packs, insanely built bodies and photos that look like green screen) and instantly messaging me to become “friends” 💀 this app is a scam.

Update: In response to Goose’s response - they are definitely not all real people 💀I ran screenshots through analytics to confirm and these are fake AI photos. Many others online saying the same about the profiles who showed up in their cities. What’s also telling is that your founder quit this week after allegations about the AI profiles started trending on social media. This is just sad.

Hey! Thanks for sharing your concerns. Everyone on Goose is a real person who completes our application process, including selfie verification, before joining the community. Building an authentic community has always been a core part of Goose, and we're continually investing in features that help keep it that way.

AI dominates

For an app that advertises itself as being different from Grindr and similar apps, you still mostly come across AI-linked profiles of ridiculously good-looking guys. If you went by this app, you’d think the streets were full of models. Such a shame! I actually had high hopes for it.

Dating

Fun new app, looks cool

Highly recommend Goose, quality, not hook up. ✅

Goose changed dating for me. I am very appreciative of this app being created. I am at Joseph and it’s been going so well. We had a nice time in Gatlinburg, TN together. He is from Johnson City, TN and I am from Knoxville, TN. We both were looking for the same thing (not a hook up culture) but somebody who wants a genuine connection. I did send a private DM to Derek, the founder of goose letting him know how appreciative I was! Please read it, it was personal to me, but feel free to share it ❤️ dating after a loss like I went through, is challenging because I found right but God needed him more than I did. But thanks to goose- I have been given a second chance at finding love ❤️ this app is what the gays need. He is a man I can bring home to my parents. Sincerely, you’re GayNick from East Tennessee.

Warte Zeit ohne Ende

Absolut katastrophal. Ich warte seit vier Tagen drauf, dass mein Profil freigeschaltet wird und es passieren einfach nichts. Ich hab jetzt schon keine Lust mehr die App zu nutzen.

Would love to try but can’t verify

Always says unable to run video session when I want to verify my profile.

Response from developer

If it continues, please reach out through “Help” in the app or at https://goose.app/contact so we can take a closer look. We appreciate you reporting it.

Not for everyone

The app is only for good looking people and hook ups. If Youre not attractive to the people 'verifying' your account then youll wait forever to be granted access to your account 😂

Vibes

The app it’s self feels like a clean very calm place every time I get on

TERRIBLE app👎🏻

Terrible app, wish I could give Zero stars I I could, I couldn’t make it past the take a Selfie part, I did and yet it doesn’t let u add pictures not even with See through Glasses, as I one picture with glasses affects my face 🙄😒

TOS says Goose owns and can reproduce your images and messages

Goose owns every photo and message you send or receive on the app and can use it however they would like according to the TOS. Can you opt out? Of course not! Could your private images and private messages be used to advertise their company in questionable ways on websites you wouldn’t choose to be affiliated with? Why yes! Are you compensated? Why would you be! But what if I am private about wanting to meet guys? Who cares! What a trash company. There are SO many other better apps for guys to meet without signing the rights to your private content away to these vultures. Disgusting.

Crashing

Just downloaded the app and not even 1min into it, it starts crashing and I can’t even open it anymore Bru….

Came for the App, stayed for the man

After less than a month in I ended up meeting someone incredible. The conversations felt genuine, and the matching process actually worked. Before I knew it I found someone that I wanted to spend my time with.

No dating app can guarantee you’ll meet the right person, but this one gave me the opportunity to do exactly that. I’m happily going to delete this app for the best possible reason.

Thanks for the kind words! Hearing that Goose is helping people make authentic connections is exactly why we built it.

Keeps crashing

This app is horrible. It keeps crashing. I can’t even create an account without it force closing, reinstalled it and now it won’t even open.

Identity theft?

First time I got the app I put two pictures and personal information in, and then it locked me out of the app. I got the app again and it was a complete different way to login. It asked me questions about myself and everything new. I’m creeped out about it. I think it’s just a new way to check if the person is real, but idk so honest review.

READ THE TERMS!!!!

They own all images/videos posted on the app and can use them however they want for forever. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

Frustrating

If you’re already in an area with a critical mass of compatible men, then presumably you don’t need this app to help you find them. If you’re not in an area like that, this will not help—all of my connections are out of state 😂. Their content moderation is glitchy and overly-enthusiastic; despite not using filters or masks or edited content, nearly every photo and video I posted was flagged as violating guidelines— when I reached out to app support for help, I just got an automated message, informing me that my profile had been flagged for heavily edited content (it’s all raw footage).

I like the philosophy, but in the end, it’s just another platform *shrug*
