Another terrible dating app

Don’t bother.

Waste of time

Never “cross paths” with anyone but do over 300 miles a day 🫪 and way too many fake accounts

Not recommended

Can upload pictures

Nothing happens

Nothing happens. The TEMU version of every dating app you have ever tried except without the people or matches. The app is supposed to show when someone has been in range, but there is generally nobody. In a month of using it I only had 2 crushes based purely on proximity. It is depressing because despite going about your day and visiting multiple places around the city NOR, SOR and EOR, nothing shows up. You click on the vibes and nothing. The app is a void of nothing. Don’t waste your time or money. One star is generous.

Poor Customer Service

Tried following the sign up pathway and was immediately blocked with no reason provided. I emailed and was told to submit some details but every subsequent email has been met with radio silence. Currently have 0 faith in the app if they can’t even successfully onboard users.

Drier than the desert

Seriously completely worthless even the paid tier - compared to other apps barely any matches and the matches you do get are of low quality, complete waste of money and even worse than Bumble’s free toer

Doesn’t work

Tried signing up, filled out all my info, got to the screen where it asks to add photos, added photos and it keeps freezing and will not get past this point

It doesn’t work!

I have uploaded pictures 100 times and when I press continue it doesn’t work, it’s stuck…it’s a waste of time!

do not download

nothing but bots and scam profiles, i was then suspended for reporting scam profiles

Terrible

Probably the worst dating app I’ve used. Only filter unless paying is age. I used geolocation for 3 days in a built up Queensland city and I came across 2 people according to the app. Very delayed data.

Suspended as I was setting up my account, no reason or warning given

I uploaded photos of myself and a picture of my pet (I’m going to assume because my pet isn’t a human face I got suspended). I went to add more to my profile like adding an anime name and no idea if that flagged it either. Suspended without warning and no upfront reason, before account is even set up.

Blocks you because you complain

Cheap apps that don’t protect you from beggars liars and cheats. You have you detail on how people act on this app. No good!!! Stop trying to make apps like this. One word karma my generation knows not to deal with such things

Best

Best app ever

Absolute battery drainer

In theory it’s great. In reality I live in a city in East Anglia and have seen a grand total of three people on the map. There’s absolutely no one using it in this area in comparison to other apps. The REAL issue however it having geolocation on constantly. I have a brand new iPhone 17 and the battery drained within hours and my battery would be near empty long before it normally went on charge at bedtime. Turned it off and I can use my phone normally again without seeing it battery hit red.

Advertising

Most recent advertising is loud and some is even malware

Nach nicht mal 10 Minuten wieder gelöscht

Mein Profil wurde gesperrt bevor ich es überhaupt vervollständigen konnte. Ist echt schade, da die App mir sehr interessant erschien.
Warum ich gesperrt wurde weiß ich auch nicht, ich habe keine falschen Daten angegeben oder falsche Fotos verwendet, alles Fotos ohne Bearbeitung und ohne Filter drauf.
Auch als ich meine Stadt angegeben habe wurde mir kein Ergebnis angezeigt, ich habe versucht bekanntere Städte die nahe liegen einzugeben aber die konnten anscheinend auch nicht gefunden werden.
Als ich dann die App kurz schloss und wieder öffnete war ich schon gesperrt.

Nope

Only had it an hour and banned before I could even match without any reason given

Not American friendly

There really no one on it that lives in America and the map function does not work

Actual review

There’s nothing special here. You can’t find anyone near you, there’s no real way to connect with the profiles you can see and on the miracle you get a match, they’re either the typical fake profile or just ghost you because none of these apps have the balls to ban people that do it.

Uncomfortable

Feels unsafe ppl are given too much location access, the men were nothing great but also very aggressive & they APP doesn’t care.
