Meanwhile, the new reviews are disproportionally 3 or less stars? It’s almost like they stopped prioritizing customer experience in favor of pushing scammers. Any random person who’s interested can call you out of the blue. All you get is their picture. No link to their profile, no indication if they’re verified, no information about what country they’re in. I want to sit on my couch and scroll through profiles on a lazy Sunday. If I’m too lazy to take a shower, I’m certainly too lazy to turn on video. There’s no way to turn this off. Worst of all, there’s no way to search “only for people who may be interested in me.” We all have our demographics, we all have our interests. Please stop wasting everyone’s time by showing us people who are statistically unlikely to like back. ### 2/5 — Warning: no ‘restore purchase’ function *2022-03-18, version 4.0.0* Most apps like this, if you’re subscribed and you deactivate your profile you can come back and still use your subscription by using the restore purchase function. They don’t have that. I currently have a subscription that doesn’t expire for another five months that they won’t let me use. I emailed them. They said they needed proof of purchase. I gave them screenshots indicating payment, of my subscription list, and Apple saying ‘you’re currently subscribed to this’ if try to purchase again. They still won’t for some reason… I am asking for a pro-rated refund. So we’ll see… ### 2/5 — Lots of technical problems *2022-01-01, version 3.9.0* App continually crashes. When I delete it and reinstall my paid membership disappears and customer support takes forever to respond. So even though I laid I can’t access the benefits I paid for. Currently I’m out the money and can’t even message anyone. I even tried to purchase again and it fails to charge me. It’s very frustrating. The app itself is pretty cool. Definitely women to interact with. A few fake profiles but they are easy to spot. You get ghosted regularly but you get some cool girls who will respond timely. I’ve gotten a few dates and mostly had a good time. Just need the paid subscription to be rectified. ### 2/5 — False advertising *2021-08-01, version 3.6.0* Right from the beginning, you’ll read this is not a sugar daddy/sugar baby dating app aka: ask you for money. You can verify yourself which is a nice gesture but the scammers will verify themselves too. So far I’ve had 3 people messages me in a couple weeks. That’s pretty sad considering I played around with the location just to see what would happen. They’ll talk on another app especially Snapchat, send you a suggestive pic without asking and then ask for your Venmo or PayPal info. It’s a joke. So far nothing BUT scammers and sugar babies. ### 4/5 — Do not Disable Account *2021-07-08, version 3.6.0* Overall the app is okay. The primary page doesn’t always load initially due to quantity of profiles being loaded. The Disable function is misleading. It’s actually a DELETE PROFILE function. The only place it says it will delete your profile forever is in small print in light gray text on white background. Disable is in large print in several places on the page. It does NOT give you a “Are you sure you want to delete your profile forever “ pop up. So beware. Also after “disabling” (deleting my profile forever) after I recreated a new profile, the new profile does not see my subscription is still good, so I don’t get any of the benefits of being an upgraded account. Very poor app in that regard. ### 2/5 — This app has more scammers than any other I’ve been on *2020-09-20, version 3.1.0* 90% of the profiles on here are fake, the pics are there to get you to move to other apps like google hangouts, the women never want to really talk so you can hear her voice and won’t video chatt so you can see if they are real. They create elaborate stories (lies) to try and get you to send money, many are not even in the cities they claim to live in. I have been on half a dozen sites for dating and this is the worse by far, when it comes to fakes and scammers, the developers need a better way to screen people (women) to make sure they are real! Nothing wrong with the features or technical parts of the app, just lots and lots of fakes and scammers!! Use at your own risk!! ### 2/5 — Weak where it matters most *2020-09-11, version 3.0.0* App has two very serious flaws. 1) Half of the profile pics don’t show up except as thumbs. The thumb tells you it is there, but you open the profile to take a look, and nothing. (Multiple pics helps! It is only single pic profiles that have the problem!) 2) Messages disappear. You’ll get a notification and see part of what was said, but when you open the app, that message is gone. Or it will show that you have 3 new messages from someone, and when you open to read, there are only 2. ### 2/5 — Too Many Catfish *2020-06-08, version 3.0.0* 90 percent of the woman who “like” my profile are NOT Verified. One of their 1st questions to you is how old are you and where are you from? Both answered on your Profile Pic? Next question they all ask is what do you want from this relationship. And if it goes much farther they ask you to meet up in “hangouts” or just give you their number? When you ask them to verify their profile, they all come up with dumb excuses like I don’t know how the app works, I’m new here, etc. So I ask them to send me a selfie with today’s Date written on a paper and I get nothing but crickets? And of course all of them used broken English with poor subject/verb agreements. In 1 month I’ve only “chatted” with 3 “real” girls & 2 of them were prostitutes. Oh and why do I have to upload a “picture” to have somewhere to write my profile? ### 1/5 — Prostitution and fake profiles *2019-12-04, version 2.3.0* This is the biggest joke of a dating app or website I’ve ever dealt with. First, let me say that I have dated via older/younger apps and have had relationships where supporting/mentoring is part of the deal. I have paid premium rates for the privacy and quality of those connections. I have used this app for a couple months and paid for it. For any app, there is always some level of fake profile and solicitation issue. Bar none. This app takes the cake. There simply are no checks on the information you - the user - can verify. You just see pictures. And you trust them. Instead, the app verifies... hahaha. Yeah. Their profile “verification” consists of “more than one picture of you” / “send us a selfie”. It means nothing. How do I know? I used pictures of a well-known comedian as my own. No problem. (I did this to protect my information because - duh - I’m the one with the money trying to be solicited and did not trust the privacy protections offered here). Oh. And yes. I was solicited by a prostitute with a chat then explicitly told she was such. Avoid this app at all costs. Period. ### 3/5 — Needs a mile range search *2019-11-19, version 2.2.0* Hi Gaper, so it seems pretty cool to try, however though I feel that if you would like for me to continue subscribing to you. I strongly suggest to put into the settings a way to adjust the distance for searches. I only say this because it literally makes me feel when women likes me and they are from a whole different state that I have just totally wasted their time because I will not start a relationship ship with someone that I can not see on a day to day basis. So if I’m feeling like that, imagine how I’m feeling like. So please do something about it because I would like to continue using your app if you make some changes **Developer response:** Dear member, Thanks for your suggestion, We will consider it carefully. If you still have some problems or suggestions, please feel free to contact us. We will get back to you within one working day. Our best wishes, The Gaper Team ### 3/5 — One Month on Gaper *2019-10-06, version 2.1.0* I must admit it is a catchy name for the App. Overall well designed and easy to navigate. He must be an experienced app designer. The only problem I encountered is everyone of five successful contacts asked me to send money.. of course each one had different and creative reason. One asked me send money so that she can hold an exhibition of her art, other was just hungry and needed to buy food, another had a bad phone and wanted a new one. And so on... Anyway, no real connections were possible.. all just a few text msges. ### 1/5 — Horrible App and the people are all fake *2019-10-04, version 2.1.0* These are 97% of fake profiles of people pretending to be someone else and then you give the person your number and ask them to FaceTime you or WhatsApp video chat you then they come up with all of these excuses of why they can’t. Then they wants to send pictures of their so called “self” (the person their pretending to be) but yet still refusing to video chat and show their self so a person can have a piece of mind knowing that their really talking to who they’re texting, but it’s all scam and some creep is lying to you and constantly asking you to send pictures of yourself to them and when you say no they get mad. Then it’s another block & another let down. ### 1/5 — Mainly fake profiles, far distance, or those seeking “Sugar”. *2019-06-08, version 1.5.0* Title says it all. Either you come across profiles of people wanting a “sugar” relationship, or get messages from fake profiles offering sugar once you text their number/contact them outside the app. The app will also reset your distance settings so if you have a country/state set, then leave the app and come back, you have to reset that or else the profiles you’re shown could be anywhere. Finally, this app is pretty heavily biased and seems to really only cater to younger woman/older man, pretty much no support for older woman/younger man like I prefer. And this is made even worse as you can’t even see someone’s age on their profile (unless they write it in their bio). Overall a small user base of “real” profiles, and pretty much just being for younger women/older men and sugar daddies, this app really isn’t worth the time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money. I can verify most are fake *2022-07-21, version 4.0.8* Especially the ones that state they do video calls. First off you call one they don’t show their face, they offered to do a “show“ with two of their “sisters“ which is an allowed on the site. Then you call another person that is available for video chat and it’s the same three girls. Jay did reverse searches and facial recognition on over 100 pictures and 95 of them came back fake. Especially in the video chat literally none of them are real. I found a few girls in and around my area but few and far between. And here is something else they you. Before you pay anything the profiles are really good. Very good looking people to meet. As soon as you pay do you notice that the profiles change and not for the better. They will not refund money. But seriously don’t waste your money it is completely, at least 95% fake. Oh one last thing, as the site says they’re not a sugar baby site yeah every girl on there is wanting that and this company just lets it happen. ### 1/5 — Maybe the worst dating app I’ve seen *2022-02-24, version 4.0.0* This app is either a complete scam, or there are so many scammers that if it is real, you will never actually know for sure... very sad. It is a great concept! It definitely has a potential to fill the void for this type of dating, because if it was legit, we would all be in a place where we can find the age gap dates we are looking for. 1. You can’t talk to anyone without paying. The least expensive option is 1 month for $20. That isn’t even almost a good deal considering it looks like most everyone that is trying to talk to you are fake profiles, from a different state or country. Even if they’re real, they aren’t nearby. 2. No bio. You can post an “ad”, which is super creepy and odd.. 3. No info about yourself. If you don’t want to match with a smoker, doesn’t matter. There’s no way to know. If you are only into guys that are 4+ inches taller than you? Well, good luck, there’s no way to know until you start talking. 4. You receive notice that someone from another state wants to chat all the time while you’re on the app. But you can’t chat until you pay for premium. WHAT?!!?? It is definitely a scam! Don’t waste your time! ### 1/5 — Utterly horrible *2022-01-31, version 4.0.0* For one, the app wouldn’t stop popping up messages of super old guys (which I have serious trauma with and that’s WHY I’m on an app like this trying to look for younger guys that don’t scare me and make me feel comfortable) even after updating my preferences it was still forcing me to see freaky super older men who wanted to chat with me 😡 No other dating apps even do that- ignore your preferences and force people outside of them on you. Then- cool so it shows me who likes me but to even be able to message them back I have to PAY. What’s the point then? This app is crap. Useless and I ran through all the men in my area and I’m in a major city- within minutes. What a joke and waste of time. ### 1/5 — One of the most sexist dating apps out there! *2020-12-07, version 3.3.0* So here’s the thing. There are a bunch of older men and some are legit and most are just trying to get your credit card or account information. They ask for your emails and passwords. They ask for your credit card and banking routing number. I have even caught a couple that were actually woman or someone in a different country. I report them. I block them. All of the sudden the next day I get kicked off and have to reverify my profile because supposedly I’m fake? I have been verified on this app at least four times now. I’m real and don’t show nudity or ask for money. While these men have pictures of their penis on the app, or they immediately ask for sex. They allow that kind of behavior on the app but because I report it I get kicked off. I email them asking why and I never get a response. This app is a huge sexist scam. ### 1/5 — Lousy app *2020-09-30, version 3.2.0* Please, this application is pathetic. Once one side or the other shows interest, messaging should be allowed. Additionally, the algorithms are screwy. Without upgrading you cannot put in your city as a demographic. Ok, another way to get you to upgrade. But even the women in my state aren’t showing up. If odds were better that an actual date would happen using a dating site, any dating site, people might upgrade. But anyone with any experience with dating sites is well aware that out of a hundred introductions, 15 may respond once, 4-5 twice, and only 1-2 more than twice. Then of the one or two who respond more than twice, approximately 85% are ego trolls. I’d say one in 300 hundred actually make it to a first date. With odds like that, no dating app is worth even one red cent. Keep working this application Gaper. You aren’t even close yo your claims about this application! ### 1/5 — Overrun by scammers *2020-09-21, version 3.1.0* As noted in other reviews this app is overrun by scammers. I normally don’t write many reviews but this app should be removed. I would award it 0 stars if I could. I can only assume all the 5-star reviews are for an earlier version or that the scammers posted the reviews themselves. Cons • There’s too much anonymity, and so no way to build trust. • Numbers are allowed in names so many accounts advertise phone numbers • Can’t filter by distance to limit who sees your profile, so queue of Likes will be filled up with profiles outside your geographic area. • Your list does not differentiate between matched Likes and unmatched Likes. You have to drill down to see if you matched or not. • Rejecting a profile doesn’t remove it from the global queue. You have to explicitly block the profile which is clunky and time consuming. • Profile “description” is some sort of internal social media post / craigslist ad. • You have to pay to make filtering easier, i.e. only show verified profiles. And even then that’s not a guarantee to filter out scammers. And still doesn’t prevent them from filling your list of Likes. Pros • A niche concept for a dating app and a good idea, but implementation leaves a lot to be desired. • The queue of profiles shows a thumbnail and name so you can eventually find them in the global queue. No need to pay to get a match. ### 1/5 — OnlyFan Advertisement App *2020-09-13, version 3.1.0* Just wanted everyone to know that this app is not what you think it is. This is not a dating app by any means. This is just an advertisement app that people use to attempt to get you to go to their link or website. You will only discover this for yourself when you sign up for $20. After you realize this, the developer will not refund your $20. You will have to go through Apple for the refund. I would like to encourage everyone to go through the process for themselves and write a review afterwards. The idea of an age gap dating app is revolutionary, and I would love for an established & reputable developer to make a legitimate app. ### 1/5 — Worst ever *2020-06-08, version 3.0.0* I wasted money on the upgrade. Don’t do it! Nothing but scammers trying to get your phone number and sell it off, or other scammers trying to get your money. Notice how people who like you are always across the country from you? When you chat with them you notice their grammar is terrible and later after wasting time on them you discover they are living across the world? Or if you ask why they match with you from across the country, they ghost you? Or if one person is nearby, you keep getting catfishes before the date? It would appear that the people who made the app made no effort to validate the members. Other apps do. Stay away. Waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Scam, scam, and more scam *2020-02-03, version 2.5.0* Wanna waste your money? This is the best place to do so because this app is totally full of crap. I’m in the most populous city in the US and there are about only 5% of profiles that are verified. All the likes I get are mostly bots who’d tell you to contact them by email or hangouts and you’ll immediately know you’re chatting with a stupid bot developed by more stupid developers who don’t know the basics of natural language processing. And the real people, if they’re girls at all, would ask you to send them money to pay for their phone so they could continue chatting with you. This app itself is total bs. The positive reviews are what you can expect from scammers. Totally ambiguous and overly positive. ### 1/5 — Too many fake profiles *2020-01-20, version 2.5.0* I was hoping this would be a more legit platform. I paid the money to upgrade but EVERY woman who I’ve messaged immediately asks to get off the platform to Kik or another social media platform. I’ll keep trying until my month is up and we’ll see if there are any real profiles out there. Several days later. Over 20 profiles that I communicated with. All were FAKES. All wanted to move the conversation to an external social media site immediately. A simple Google reverse image search showed that the pictures were taken from the internet. Many of them were porn stars. The ones that had multiple pics weren’t even the same person in each pic. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS SITE!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best friend *2023-05-04* I am writing this review in hopes, finding mine future, my best friend, the air I breathe in the water I drink, somehow may seem corny. I would like to think I’m an optimist not an opportunist as I continue to define myself she will see me. I’m right here. I’m not so far off I love to laugh, smile spot annuity with a present itself. Someone who is willing to challenge themselves in the way living their best life is not corny at all. It’s not even a hypothetical it’s really being vulnerable, taking a chance a risk to be seen to be real to be honest to be loving to be kind all of the building blocks of the man that I am becoming my heart is saying she will show up because I see her. ### 5/5 — What happened to this app? *2021-06-04, version 3.6.0* This app was not all that great to begin with — the search mechanisms are terrible — but they somehow have managed to make it worse, to the point where you really can’t search for anyone at all anymore. The “Meet” area where user profiles would pop up to search through now says “no data” with nothing popping up. People reaching out has dried up, conversation has stopped. I’ll be unsubscribing as soon as my subscription is over. Hot garbage. ### 5/5 — I hope that the app-maker will develop and update it more and more *2019-11-14, version 2.2.0* I think this is the best app I have ever used. Its functions are very interesting and useful. It provides me a lot of lists of profiles which are famous singers, doctors, etc. Moreover, this app is invented for the wealthy people so I think it is suitable to me. I can choose a girl I want and she can have the same character and style like me. Fortunately, thanks to this app, I can chat with her all day long by high speed message service for free. Besides, I date her to go out and have dinner every day. It helps me feel relax and comfortable after hard working . I hope that the app-maker will develop and update it more and more ### 5/5 — Best service ever had *2019-11-10, version 2.2.0* Gaper is absolutely the best app I had ever used. As an online dating app, Gaper focus onolder dating and it really makes it. I was really doubted before downloading the app about the user's quality and what the developer said about the app. But Gaper really did not let me down. It had several different methods to pick users and protect our privacy to keep us away from scammers. Which impressed me most is that once (and the only time) I encountered with a scammer, and I reported it to the team, and they kicked him off with in 5 minutes! I mean I'm really amazed by how they handled this issue with such a short time. And after that, I believed there is really someone working behind the screen to protect us and improve the community. Absolutely best services I ever had! You should try it by yourself. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-10-28, version 2.1.0* Let me tell you how wonderful this app is. This is a great app if you want to pay $19 for a one month trial. Really!? $19 for a one month subscription?! If you don’t pay for the subscription options you literally cannot do anything besides see who likes you. Can’t initiate a conversation, can’t look at profile. Geez at least give the customer a 7 day trial period at least before they decide which subscription option they want to buy. Please, if you value your time, don’t download this app. ### 5/5 — Can’t do anything at all. *2019-10-27, version 2.1.0* Can’t reply to messages from all the fake profiles. Not even a trial. Can’t see who likes you. There are so many free options. Why would you even try this. I’ll be sure to delete unless there’s some options. Like if it’s a mutual match then you can still get somewhere. But it doesn’t show anyone. And after you like them, it gets removed immediately. ### 5/5 — Too much of the same *2019-08-05, version 2.0.0* They tell you in the beginning this is not a sugar baby well it is most of the women want money or selling videos or pics too many fake accounts where they want to use Facebook message or hangout to private chat only to try and get private information about you there is no way to unlike someone and there’s not enough information about the person you meet women are free but men have to pay people need to list there age so you’ll know who’s legal just giving a thumbs up is not verified this app needs major improvement ### 5/5 — Amazing Social App! *2019-05-06, version 1.5.0* This app has helped me find new friends and has allowed me to hook up with new people in a way that no app has offered before. This app features an elegant UI and is user-friendly. The matching system is outstanding and after a few moments of setting up my profile, I found nice people I was interested in talking to. This app has great functionality also and has never proved me wrong. I really recommend this app for people searching for new people to talk to as well as serious daters. ### 5/5 — Easy to use dating app *2019-05-05, version 1.5.0* I like Quick Gaper’ feature of this dating app very much, through which I can make friends and date with people nearby. I don't like to make friends with people from other city or country, because its hard for me to know them well and not convenient to have a date outside. Through the location-based technology of this app, I can find people from anywhere I want. I've made friends with some people from my city, and we had a date last week. Its quite an unforgettable experience. ### 5/5 — Great for Singles *2019-05-05, version 1.5.0* I have tried several similar dating app in hope to find a date . But I was failed until I found this dating app. I joined this app just because the perfect design and the positive reviews from other members. However, this app gave me a big surprise after I tried it out. It is easy to navigate and I had a great opportunity to meet guys in my own city. Now, I am already in connection with a nice guy. Thank you guys for setting up this nice app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
