The sad part of it it is is I use the service for a while and everything seemed fine until they decided do me dirty and not make a right on it so just know you stand a chance of paying for coins and never receiving them and then not being able to get it straight ### 1/5 — Extend time , *2026-01-24, version 2.2.3* It’s weird to chat for only like 20s then it’s off to next one can’t even chat fr ### 1/5 — Used to be great, now everythings fake. *2025-10-14, version 2.2.2* Everyone on this app used to be real - especially the women. Now? These are clearly pre-recorded, and the addition of coins only prove how money hungry the company is.
