Imho if you’re going to market yourself as a dating app, have real people on it. If you’re going to have a bot farm to hold ai conversations, market yourself as that—there’s an interest in it truthfully. I won’t subscribe here because it’s pretending to be one when it’s the other and I’m not trying to have practice conversations or support duplicity right now. If you need help with conversation, this type of platform seems fine enough at the free level if you’re good with them ending relatively soon. The layout is also clean and easy to use, those are my only positive experiences with the platform, however. ### 4/5 — Good dating *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* So far seems to be a good app. ### 3/5 — Yur *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Yur ### 4/5 — Idk *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Cool app ### 3/5 — Hard to find a match *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* It took forever to find a good match or even one at all ### 5/5 — best datting app *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* It was awesome find Genunie people ### 3/5 — Cl *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* It’s the best app ever ### 4/5 — Good app *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* I like to add very simple to use.

What I discovered is that when I asked them to verify they were real with a selfie, they wouldn’t. After commenting that I questioned the legitimacy of their profiles the both replied with the exact same sentence, “that word is really hurting me”. After letting one of them know I didn’t believe their profile was real because it was full of screen shots , they confessed “fine I’m not who I say I am”. Be wary using this app. I’ve checked quite a few profiles by doing a Facebook people search and none of the prospects showed up in the small towns in which they claimed to live. If you’re looking for a match it may be better to try your luck on a more reputable dating site. ### 1/5 — Boooo *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Lame app gotta pay to talk to people after some messages are exchanged is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Not that great ### 1/5 — DEAD POOL HERE ! *2025-02-12* Oh, this app? Yeah, it’s a steaming pile of digital garbage. The second you sign up, BAM, messages start flying in like you just won the lottery. But here’s the fun part, when you respond, even if you write an emotional three-paragraph novella, you get a reply in like six seconds. Six. That’s not even enough time to skim let alone pretend to care. You know why? Because it’s all AI. That’s right folks, you’re not talking to your future soulmate, you’re flirting with a chatbot. Sexy, right? I was this close to spending money on it but then my spidey senses, wait wrong franchise, my merc instincts kicked in. One quick Google search later and BOOM, all the receipts. This app is a full-blown scam. So unless you enjoy being catfished by an algorithm do yourself a favor and keep your wallet closed. Don’t believe me? Go check Reddit, there’s an army of internet sleuths who’ve already exposed this sham. You’re welcome. ### 1/5 — Take heed, lonely fools: she is not the one! No, not this app! *2025-02-03* Users can claim to be from anywhere, which is pretty cool for all of one day's usage. Once you find out that deleting and blocking somebody will lead to a continued chat the moment they have more to say, you can have stalkers from all over the world without knowing where they are actually from. In this painful age of privacy, for somebody to know your details because you take a chance, is too much when then there are no ways to verify they even exist as who they claim to be. This app is terrifying. On another note, the "like" tab is broken, so you'll never know who's interested. Even if you saw who was, you wouldn't know who they are though. This app is best suited for secretive stalkers, and I'm ashamed to say I figured this out *after* spending money to keep a conversation going. Now I'm ten months left on a subscription I paid to simply continue a conversation. A conversation that was likely with a bot. "Genuine connections" my foot! Take heed, lonely fools: she is not the one! Not this app! ### 1/5 — Scam - Ai chatbot - maybe a ChatGPT mod *2025-02-02* They set it up to look like your profile (which hasn’t even been completed except for a single picture) has been boosted for 30 minutes. Then makes it like someone likes you- which you’re going to “like” back and then they begin talking to you. After an initial hello, there’s a little message that wryly says something along the lines of “…another [person] trying to sweep me off my feet…” You can even call them out on being an AI or a fake profile and they will agree with you and say they’ve been “burned too many times” and so on. Then they’ll ask you a question about yourself and have you go back and forth with them for 30minutes- at which point a pop-up will appear that says “to continue messaging ____, pay ____….” ### 1/5 — Be aware and avoid *2025-02-01* This app does not have a way to verify people such as scanning drivers license, so you may come across people who aren’t really who they say they are. So please if you aren’t looking for a real connection, stay off the app and read a book if you’re bored with your life. Also don’t pay for premium, not worth it. Most importantly.. chat bots. I had suspicions about Ai being used to sucker people into using the app and I was right. Met a few “people” who would introduce themselves to me multiple times throughout the week and then carry on conversations by themselves with replies that made no sense. So eventually I tried breaking the bots by asking it certain questions and it would work every time. “I cannot create such content” “I can no longer continue with this conversation“ then I’d gift the bots a rose and “aww! Thank you so much that made my day, I appreciate it!” Followed by breaking the bots again and gifting something else just to verify. Lol So… yeah this app is full of Chat bots ladies and gentlemen. they give out fake numbers that also happen to be more chat bot conversations IF you get lucky enough to get a response. ### 1/5 — App is a scam *2025-02-01* This app is def a scam. Trust your instincts when you feel like something is off. I learned that all the matches you get are AI bots. Something didn’t feel right. Was having a conversation with someone that I thought was real, I wanted to move the conversation off app to see if they were real and they kept denying the request (haven requires you to send your number and request the other persons number. It’s weird). When “it” finally, sent “a” number, I messaged it, and it didn’t respond. Then I messaged on app again, and it stopped responding. It just felt off. Also, after matching with someone, after you send your 3rd or 4th message, the app will ask you to pay to continue the conversation. Unfortunately, I paid the 30 a month. After learning all this, I immediately canceled. I guess that’s what I get for trying an app off tik tok. ### 1/5 — Just Listen to all the Bad Reviews! Worst Dating App Ever! *2025-01-12* I can’t understand how this app has such high reviews, it just doesn’t add up! Everyone I’ve interacted with on this platform feels like a bot. Like so many other apps, it starts by giving you lots of attention when you first download it. They draw you in with limited free messages, forcing you to pay to continue. But as soon as you subscribe, that attention disappears entirely. I even tried asking these so-called “people” for their Instagram, just to confirm they were real. Every single one of them avoided the question or refused, and that was the final straw for me. I’m done with this app and its shady practices. It’s clear that it’s designed to manipulate people into paying without delivering what it promises. Worst Dating App Ever! ### 1/5 — Scam app full of fake accounts *2025-01-11* Every match I got would reply almost instantly which was strange because it was 130am. The profiles would drag out the convo and then the convo gets locked untill YOU have to pay more to unlock TIME to talk with the fake profile more. It would always happen right before the number request they were engineering the conversation. I found a way around that with the chat bot and when it sent me a request to exchange numbers I realized you also HAVE to pay if you want to exchange numbers. When I said I didn’t want to pay and we could find another way the fake account said they didn’t feel comfortable yet. After just requesting my phone number. This app is a huge scam no one should use it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — User *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Pretty cool so far hopeful I match with a real person ### 5/5 — Review *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Pretty good ### 5/5 — Well well *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Not too bad ### 5/5 — Seems great. *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Still pretty new to the app, but it seems great and I’m already meeting great people ### 5/5 — Not bad *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Easy to use and fast ### 5/5 — Love *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Appppp ### 5/5 — Review *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* Ok I’ll give it a try why not ### 5/5 — Great choice for dating *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* It’s a great choice, gives you a really good chunk of swipes to use in a day and I feel like you can really put yourself out there with it. ### 5/5 — Review *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* This site is great! ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-03-03, version 1.16.0* A good place to find love --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
