It would also be better if we could put more interests than 10 or add another section about types and what your looking for so that the people who add you know what they are doing ### 4/5 — Nice *2026-08-19, version 3.31.0* Made some nice connections on here and a great friend but so many damn ads ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is a scam!!! *2026-08-22, version 3.31.0* only shows asians and africans. i’m not interested in them since i’m EUROPEAN. dating apps are meant to devide people like this. but you will lose. ### 1/5 — A Bunch Of Bots And Fake Profiles *2026-08-19, version 3.31.0* The app is disappointing, it’s hard to find real people on here and you can barely swipe without having to purchase or watch long advertisements for “gems.” The developer needs to take the time to use tools that filter out fake profiles and bots, also needs a better means of swiping other than using gems. ### 1/5 — The ads are broken. *2026-08-19, version 3.31.0* To get gems to view who has added you, you have to watch an ad. Half of the ads are broken and don’t allow you to exit, wasting time and doesn’t give you what you need. ### 1/5 — Everything money *2026-08-19, version 3.31.0* EVERY SINGLE TIME you match with someone it asks you to spend money and only works if you have snap or TikTok, can’t talk to people in the actual app. Basically useless. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-18, version 3.31.0* Terrible app with lots of bots, constant pop ups, and how long it’s makes you sit and wait to claim your “daily reward” it’s all totally bs. ### 1/5 — People are treating it like a dating app *2026-08-18, version 3.31.0* I downloaded the app with the intention of befriending people as I'm trying to become more outgoing. However, everyone seemed to be only interested in dating me. ### 1/5 — sucks *2026-08-17, version 3.31.0* nobody adds me ### 1/5 — Kept asking to rate *2026-08-16, version 3.31.0* That’s what I thought ### 1/5 — Awful, too many ads *2026-08-11, version 3.31.0* Absolutely trash, so many ads and not enough add backs,app used to be way better ### 1/5 — Very slow. Security issue *2026-08-11, version 3.31.0* The app is incredibly slow and there’s tons of fake accounts. Please add a facial recognition to verify accounts. Also, when you have your settings to “my country only” other countries still come through in requests. If this reply even gets out, the app won’t let me post it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — W *2026-08-31, version 3.31.0* W ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-08-30, version 3.31.0* Perfect for 13-16 year olds looking for freinds or someone to talk ### 5/5 — Hoop *2026-08-30, version 3.31.0* 5 star ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-27, version 3.31.0* Love ### 5/5 — Ayayays *2026-08-25, version 3.31.0* Horayay ### 5/5 — Adds *2026-08-23, version 3.31.0* I like it but just the ads are a bit too much, other than that it’s great app, I don’t intend to complain, moving forward there are people trying to scam by using fake accounts 🥹 ### 5/5 — Hook *2026-08-21, version 3.31.0* I love it ### 5/5 — Love you *2026-08-18, version 3.31.0* 😛😘😘😘 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-18, version 3.31.0* I love it ### 5/5 — N *2026-08-18, version 3.31.0* A --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
