I just want to be able to look at all profiles that match my search criterias. ### 2/5 — Buggy and clunky *2025-08-11* Very hard to use and not very intuitive. Still can’t get my location set up. nothing populates… ### 3/5 — Signing up *2025-04-30* Trying to sign up but doesn’t seem to find any locations from my search entry, so can’t progress. Any ideas? ### 2/5 — Super glitchy - only works with US locations! *2025-04-21, version 8.5.4* The app seems like a good idea on paper, but I had to pick a random US Location to be able to create an account because the list of available places is ridiculously limited. I now see users in the US of course, so not sure how useful that’s gonna be. Seems to be a bug because destinations like Birmingham, UK, were available. Really weird. ### 1/5 — Help *2023-12-12* The app it self isn’t even working I go to load it up and I’m waiting for ages nothing happens ### 1/5 — Never worked *2023-12-11* I was told my account would be in probation for 24 hours then the next time I tried to use it it would never open just time out. ### 1/5 — Spyware more than likely *2023-12-08* Nah cause as soon as I downloaded and opened the app, I find that my audio gets turned on like the app starts listening to your microphone as soon as you launch it. Def should not be happening. No permissions can be changed to prevent it from happening either. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2023-12-05* I saw this app mentioned if a poly group on social media. Went through the long process of getting signed up. Using NO search filters, within 150 miles there are exactly three users that have been active in the last month. Within 50 miles there are non in the last year. Use a different app and just put poly in your bio. ### 2/5 — Is this app being marketed *2023-05-02* I have been poly since I was 13 years old so I’m happy to see a app but where are all the users? ### 3/5 — Average *2023-05-01* Have made connections but always have to go in and out to update messages. ### 3/5 — Getting Better *2022-12-30* I read all the reviews from years past and was still willing to give it a Go! Let’s face it, what we are living in is a very small and unique environment. Most of the complaints of old doesn’t exist anymore and the app is very user friendly. The one complaint that is lingering on is the size of the online community here. I honestly thought it would be a bigger group of likeminded individuals but I think it going to get there. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App Won’t Work *2025-10-12* Can’t even get an email verification or initial account creation to work. Is the app shut down now? ### 1/5 — All scammers *2025-08-31* Avoid at all cost total scam all users are scammers even the paid members are scammers had a woman try to get money out of by making a fake article about me being a rapist said if I don’t pay her 200 dollars she would post it and she was a full paid member will be reporting this site to Apple PLEASE DONT USE ### 1/5 — Can’t get verification *2025-06-04* I have requested a verification number to be sent to my email multiple times and haven’t received one. Impossible to use the app without verifying and there is no way to contact anyone for help. ### 1/5 — Can’t Access Account *2025-06-03* I set up an account but can’t access it. I did this multiple times. ### 1/5 — I can’t even get into the app *2025-05-19* So many issues and bugs. It took several days before the system would let me enter my location during registration. Even though the option to keep it empty is there, it wouldn’t let me register without that filled in. Now I’ve been waiting a week, several times a day, for the blasted email verification. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-05-06, version 8.5.4* While filling out my profile, it asked for your current location and doesn’t let you continue without entering one which is fine except that you can enter whatever you want and nothing appears I spent 20 minutes entering by ZIP Code city state country. I tried everything and no matter what you do it stays blank. ### 1/5 — App. Update letting me down !!! *2025-05-01, version 8.5.4* Hey just did some profile updates & with the last part of location i put it in & pressed done & it keeps coming back as to fill this field in !!.. I do & still the same, I delete app. I reinstall & it brings me back to location that i fill in & it doesn’t upload it for me to finish my update..But I still can’t even go back to the very beginning either to leave it on my previous profile?!!..Don’t like whats going on but wld still be on the app. like before ?!!..I hope they fix this issue asap !!!!! ### 1/5 — Worst site yet *2024-07-24* Full of fake accounts with porn star images and no one vetting them be careful ### 1/5 — Less then a star for Canadians *2024-04-14* Attention Canadians ! This app isn’t for you ! It’s not a bad platform but strictly for Americans ! A trap for me, as soon as i downloaded this app with the intention of learning more about it, I was automatically charged over 189cdn$! I was expecting a few “in purchase options “. Instantly charged for a full membership ( which still won’t include all options ). Tried contacting the administrator, never got a reply . This is the first time I ever write a negative review …ever. ### 1/5 — You have to be 22 to use in 2024 *2024-01-29* The rating is 17+ why is lowest age 22?? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Polyamory *2026-08-25* Great site to checkout ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-07-08* I appreciate that this app makes room for real connection. I've met people looking for everything from friendship to long-term partners to community, and it never feels like the app is pushing one thing. You get to define what you're here for. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2026-06-30* I’d recommend this app, it’s great to see an app that welcomes poly, ENM and that you’re able to find like minded individuals and couples aswell as I like the fact there’s filters to find potentional matches in the kink aswell as shibari filters ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-06-20* Cool app with a really welcoming vibe. Great for poly, ENM, and open-minded people who want to meet others without having to explain themselves all the time. ### 5/5 — Pretty good ENM dating app *2026-06-13* Didn’t expect much tbh, but I’ve met some really cool people here. Feels much more comfortable for poly and ENM folks than the usual dating apps. ### 5/5 — Finally for Poly Dating *2026-06-09* Finally, a dating app that actually feels built for poly dating, not just another vanilla dating app pretending to get it. ### 5/5 — Poly dating app *2026-05-23* Finally, a dating app that’s tailored for the ENM crowd! ### 5/5 — Seeking poly love *2023-09-19* I am new to the app but so far it has my attention. ### 5/5 — Finally a genuine app *2022-10-07* I have used a few apps to find poly friends but this app hands down the best. Being new the number of people on it are less but 1 genuine person is better than 100s of fake profiles. I hope it will stay this way🤞🏼 ### 5/5 — So far so good *2022-09-08, version 8.4* I’ve found people in my city and one person has replied, we’ve organised to meet up. It’s a little bit clunky but I’m using the free version so maybe that’s why. I like it so far! Would recommend for other poly ppl! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
