About the app.

So when I downloaded the app I thought it was cool at first. But the weird thing about it is that you can swipe right for new friends , but you won’t be able to see who swiped you right back also or in general , unless you pay like 20/30 something dollars every month just to use the app😐. like you literally have to pay just to make friends . Which would be okay for some people but you also have to pay portion by portion weekly. every single week. You have to pay. The last thing for me was that once I’ve swiped over maybe 20 people it said something like “ that’s all there is for right now “ and it shows that you can refresh but I have had the app for about a day now and have been refreshing on and off for the past few hours. Like all day. And yet i still didn’t get to see anybody at all anymore .. which is weird . So i just decided to chose to delete the app overall instead of wasting my time and money on nothing.

Love the concept but needs more users

The concept of the app is really cool. It has a lot of potential but there needs to be more users on the app. Maybe having influencers on social media promote or more marketing initiatives? It doesn’t make sense to rely on the people using the app to promote since the whole point of the app is to meet and make new friends.

I’m using the free version and I’m able to chat with others who swiped on me (similar to a dating app). I also think it’s cool we can make plans and it’s open to everyone to join

So far I’m having a good experience

NOT SAFE: Can’t remove matches or block people harassing you.

The app has a feature to block people but it doesn’t work. If you contact support, they ignore you or just tell you to keep signing out and delete the app- they don’t fix the problem. This allows someone to harass you in the app and you don’t consider the safety of women using this app and their right to unmatch. There is also NO option to unmatch a user at all who isn’t engaging in chat to become friends- they are stuck there forever taking up space in your list and you cannot block because it doesn’t work! The support team don’t care about women’s safety.

Could be more useful if the notifications worked

The biggest issue I have with this app is that it’s very very easy to forget. The notifications for it do not behave similarly to other apps like Facebook, sure you might get a banner message in the notification space but you don’t get a notification sound and it clears the notification as soon as you unlock your phone. This is a problem for people who like me have ADHD and/or need those reminders that we have a message or plan or we assume that the peeps we know on the app don’t care about us. This app also seems to have fallen out of use especially in less populated areas due to these failures in notifications.

Also, they seem to have not kept up to date with the changes over the years, last updated 3 years ago. I can’t even log in anymore because it fails to sync with the updates to login methods. Tried contacting support and no response to my attempts.

Hey Vina’s

Hi! I am hoping to meet and make some great lifetime friends with so many things in common with me. I’ve always tried to be good but most of my experience hasn’t. I have been lonely for a long time, I’m looking to make a new clique of friends who party, are looking to better themselves, honourably of course, and genuine honest sincere friends, like priceless pearls with so much beauty to offer. And good virtues. And I am looking for someone to cling onto, not romantically as my bestie.
