Blessed😊🙏😘😜

Great platform so far

Fun interesting app for meeting worldwide friends

This app says it's for meeting Japanese people and I have met some Japanese people but I have met people from many different parts of the world on here. Very nice and fun app

It’s nice

Meeting people has been very fun. I use the app daily to chat and always have fun. I’ve gotten to where I plan conversations due to time zones and my work and it’s fun

Good site

Good site to help learning languages
Unfortunately the scammers are there in high numbers

Friend Requests and matches stopped working

I really like the app, but I seem to have an issue with my account. I received many Friend Requests when I first joined, but then they suddenly stopped completely. More importantly, when I accept someone who is already in my Friend Requests, the request disappears, but we don’t match and they don’t appear in New Friends or My Friends. I’ve already tried reinstalling the app and using another device, but nothing changed. I contacted support a few days ago and sent a follow-up, but haven’t received a reply yet. Please check this issue.
