Sorry you ran into this issue. Our team is looking into it. In the meantime, reinstalling the app may help resolve the problem. 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. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-07-20, version 1.2.1* 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. ### 3/5 — Identity theft? *2026-07-20* 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. **Developer response:** Hey! Sorry you're having trouble signing in. We'd love to help get you up and running. Please reach out through “Help” in the app or at https://goose.app/contact, and our team will take a closer look. ### 1/5 — READ THE TERMS!!!! *2026-07-20, version 1.2.1* They own all images/videos posted on the app and can use them however they want for forever. DO NOT DOWNLOAD! ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2026-07-20* 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* **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you've had this experience. We carefully review all requests submitted through Help in the app or at https://goose.app/contact. If you'd like to add more details, please submit a new request and our team will review it as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — insane terms and conditions *2026-07-19, version 1.2.1* Goose’s terms and conditions require you to give them ownership of anything you upload to the platform, including images, videos, disappearing images, everything. ### 1/5 — READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS *2026-07-18, version 1.2.1* The terms and conditions state that if you upload any pictures to goose you are allowing them to keep and use them for whatever they want !!!! ### 2/5 — Eh *2026-07-18, version 1.2.1* Has high quality photos and ability to send pics in chat. Not much else to write home about. Vapid men on another app. The Live Photo feature is annoying, and then the audio cutting off when opening the app gives it a low grade feel. Owner will sell off to a company for a few bucks it seems ### 1/5 — There are SOOOOOO many things WRONG with this app. *2026-07-17, version 1.2.1* Read all the terms and conditions and you’ll get your answer. deleted immediately. ### 1/5 — Data farming *2026-07-17* Their terms and conditions are WILD they essentially say if you agree to them, any photo you take or upload (including direct messages) is their property. Probably collecting data from queer people to sell to meta or google tbh… disgusting. Also the app sucks so its not even worth it lol what a joke **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for your feedback. Goose does not sell your personal information. Our Terms of Service include standard legal language needed to operate the app and protect users and the platform.

I assume this may be fixed once more users get on it. It’s still annoying in its early stages. If I’m in Massachusetts, why would I want to try to talk to someone on a dating app from Missouri. ### 1/5 — Read the User agreement *2026-07-17* I don’t trust this app. I deleted my account immediately when I found out they use AI and have full ownership of any photo and content on your account even if it’s a private conversation. I’m not having any of my photos used in AI or sent to whatever website or company they just want. Let alone the security risks of setting a password, they get a data breach or sell my info just cause, and then getting an email from them saying they’re sorry about the breach but then there’s nothing they can do. **Developer response:** Hey!

I know I live in rural Pennsylvania. But Sniffies has tons of guys that I don’t even see on Grindr. I don’t know how One starts a gay app. So I have no advice. I’d love to actually see this be as successful as it looks sharp, but it’s been days and just being in this one guy. 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — questionable data and privacy policy *2026-07-16, version 1.2.1* Terrifying privacy terms. Absolute red flag for the queer community. DO NOT SIGN UP without reading the fine print. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t load properly *2026-07-16, version 1.2.1* The app continually crashes. I have created my profile but now the app crashes and won’t reopen. I have deleted and redownloaded but that hasn’t fixed the problem. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-26* Can’t click through the app it looks like something created from an AI code **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — AI Slop *2026-08-21* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — AI dominates *2026-08-20* 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. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for sharing your concerns.

I would like to delete my « account » still not verified, but i can’t do anything! **Developer response:** Hey! Sorry you're having trouble signing in. We'd love to help get you up and running.

Look it up on TikTok. They say that they can use any picture u use on the app as they want, however and wherever they want **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for your feedback.

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. **Developer response:** Hey, danke für dein Feedback. Es tut uns leid, dass du auf ein Problem gestoßen bist. Wir würden dir gerne dabei helfen, das zu lösen. Du kannst uns jederzeit über „Hilfe“ in der App oder unter https://goose.app/contact . erreichen. Jemand aus unserem Team hilft dir gerne weiter. ### 1/5 — Not for everyone *2026-07-27* 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 😂 **Developer response:** Hey! Sorry you're having trouble signing in. We'd love to help get you up and running.

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. **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for your feedback.

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. **Developer response:** Hey! You just made our day—thank you! We're so happy you're vibing with the Goose community. ### 5/5 — Vibes *2026-07-25, version 1.2.3* The app it’s self feels like a clean very calm place every time I get on ### 5/5 — Came for the App, stayed for the man *2026-07-20* 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. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! Hearing that Goose is helping people make authentic connections is exactly why we built it. ### 5/5 — XX *2026-07-15, version 1.2.1* Honestly, one of the best dating apps out here. It’s clean, neatly put out, and anti botted. I highly recommend getting this app if you want to dip your toes in the dating scene! ### 5/5 — So cute & Refreshing *2026-07-06, version 1.1.4* The aesthetic and more breezy daytime date vibe feels just want the gay world needs. Love the wave and direct chat features so no need for effortless swiping. Def recommend! ### 5/5 — Surprised *2026-07-06, version 1.1.4* I like goose it’s more intentional than the other dating apps I’ve used ### 5/5 — Good job *2026-07-04, version 1.1.4* Aesthetically cute and meeting people seems a bit more genuine than on G and S ### 5/5 — Love it. *2026-07-02, version 1.1.3* GREAT app. So nice to see a gay dating app for real connection. Also nothing is behind a pay wall. ### 5/5 — Something different *2026-06-30* Finally we can get something different than all the other dating app out there. This is much more than just a dating app. Hopefully not all the same people will join here and we can maintain it to be a safe community, where long lasting relationships can be formed **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words, Dany! Hearing that Goose is helping people make authentic connections is exactly why we built it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
