I live in a small town, and few people are on it. There’s no local events. And the dating app is ingrained everywhere. It’s very hard to use this solely for making friends. You also cannot see local people again if you don’t pay for it. ### 2/5 — Banned *2026-08-05, version 4.6.0* Got banned for talking about my preferences ### 2/5 — Gone downhill *2026-08-02, version 4.6.0* Lex was the first queer meetup app I ever downloaded, and it’s been really special for me. 5 years ago, this app helped me meet queer people in my area. Some really cool events used to be planned on it! But then, capitalism does what capitalism does. Things on the app started to cost money. If you don’t pay to promote yourself, or pay to be a member, you hardly see any profiles and your boops disappear before you see them (they say it’s 24 hours but it’s definitely shorter). The app is now filled with chasers and bots, preying on queer people. Now when I open Lex, it feels gross. Nobody in my area uses it anymore or even knows what it is. I wish the story had turned out differently. ### 3/5 — Can’t unblock people *2026-07-29, version 4.6.0* A bug: my list of blocked accounts won’t load, so I can’t unblock anyone. I’ve blocked a lot of spammers over the years I’ve been using Lex so the list is longish, but still. Something needs to get tweaked in the code. ### 1/5 — Truly sad *2026-07-29, version 4.6.0* Poorly designed waste of time ### 2/5 — banned bc scammers mass reported me *2026-07-24, version 4.5.0* title says all, i called out a scammer for impersonating my friend and got reported and wrongly banned. its been 3 months since then with no answer at all. 2 stars to hopefully make this review more visible so no one wastes their time on this app. ### 1/5 — My posts are no longer showing up on the feed *2026-07-11, version 4.4.0* I sent them an email about it but have not received a response as of July 11th. My “boops” are always expired before I can click on the notification. Half of the profiles appear to be bots. Lex is not the app it used to be ### 1/5 — The only queer dating app caved to cis people and money *2026-07-06, version 4.3.0* What else is there to say than the only dating app exclusive for queer people is now plagued with cis straight men, cis straight woman and bots. Money keeps being the driver of everything in this world and the queer community is not profitable enough apparently. On top of that they offered me some freebies for a 5 start review so they get a well deserved 1 star review instead. ### 1/5 — dead app, even deader devs *2026-07-05, version 4.3.0* app has been developed to be as marketable as possible. now it’s inundated with bots, scammers, and people dangerous for the queer community. i was banned for no reason and havent heard back from my appeal in many months. ### 4/5 — Fun app, improvements needed. *2026-07-05, version 4.3.0* Good social app, could use some bug improvements. It would be nice to have the option to share photos, and groups having multiple chat threads to keep things organized. Maybe Discord or other app integrations? ### 1/5 — Lex *2026-07-05, version 4.3.0* Não consigo entrar no app,ele fica travando ### 1/5 — no care in moderation at all *2026-06-30, version 4.3.0* i was banned for posting about seeking a roommate for housing and a person was trying to get me to send them money for an apartment application that they didn’t own. i got banned because they mass reported me and this app has done nothing to try and fix the wrongly ban even after i tried reaching out on social media and sending emails. so much for the ultimate lgbtq+ social app that has no support team i guess ### 4/5 — Satisfied *2026-06-26, version 4.2.0* Very good experience being on lex make you connect with people that are interested in something real , I hope the management could work a lil on the groups . ### 4/5 — People are cool app not so much *2026-06-19, version 4.2.0* So the community is awesome, but the app is a disaster. Idk if they sold it to someone or what, but considering there are so many neurodivergent folks on here the constant bombardment with ‘pay for this’ ‘look at this’ ‘oooh colours look’ And the fact that messaging is bugged AF overstimulates and drives me nuts But the people on there are the redeeming quality ### 1/5 — Help *2026-06-18, version 4.2.0* A scam account got me banned when I tried to warn other people and I have contacted support multiple times to get help for more than a month with with NO response ### 2/5 — Needs Work *2026-06-14, version 4.2.0* There are something’s I enjoy about this app. I enjoy that someone made an app that is just for the LGBTQ community. This app logs you out randomly. Give you notifications that you have unread messages. But when you read the messages the notification doesn’t go away. So if those issues can’t fixed, I’ll redownload app, until then I will not! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 0 customer support *2026-08-30, version 4.8.0* i used to love this app and was on it from its inception, but i was banned several months ago and i have no idea why. no one has emailed me back nor responded to any dms. i was also a paying user. you can’t even make a new account once yours is banned. ### 1/5 — MONEY HUNGRY *2026-08-29, version 4.7.0* All they care about anymore is money. This app is one of the worst now, and it's full of bots that spam report. ### 1/5 — Lost а good one *2026-08-23, version 4.7.0* Joined when this was аn app based off the old lesbian personals for queer people. Then the makers sold it off and the new owners killed the original concept before effectively abandoning it. Scammers, bots and cis straight men sexually harassing people and writing some pretty vile messages about and to us are half the users if not more. What’s crazy is people have contacted them trying to sell community based ads or address issues on here. Radio silence. Guessing the user base wasn’t deemed profitable enough because they tried to make а spin off app for sans the queerness, not realizing what made people fundraise for and support this app at all. There may be better apps for queer people in the future but right now this one is just being stripped for parts. ### 1/5 — Banned for no resson *2026-08-15, version 4.6.0* I reported a scammer and made a post warning others. I was then banned. I’ve heard nothing back from support, and have no way to inform the people I was planning dated with. Devastating. Please unban me support!! ### 1/5 — Welp *2026-08-15, version 4.6.0* If any other recent review hasn’t convinced you then hopefully this one will. There are scammers o plenty even before you start interacting with the ecosystem. Just don’t pass out your emails so easily or your numbers or discords or anything else. And especially don’t interact with the map feature if you can. ### 1/5 — Unfair Account Ban and Device Block *2026-08-12, version 4.6.0* I have already submitted the in-app appeal form, but I want to ensure my case is reviewed by a human moderator on your Trust and Safety team. As a Black trans woman, I believe my profile was maliciously targeted and reported by a hostile user. My recent activity consisted solely of uploading a couple of standard face pictures and sending a friendly, respectful shout-out to fellow leather Lesbians from the community in three group chats. I did not violate any community guidelines, and this ban appears to be an automated response triggered by bad-faith user reports. Because of this ban, my entire device has been blocked from the platform, preventing me from accessing my community. Lex is supposed to be a safe, inclusive space for queer and trans people of color. Being targeted and immediately blocked without a proper human review is deeply disheartening. I kindly request that a moderator reviews my chat logs and profile to restore my account and clear my device status. I think at least me going public, so that other potential users can understand how reports, and issues are dealt with on lex, is only fair, do I will do so if need be. Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter. Best regards ### 1/5 — Issue *2026-08-11, version 4.6.0* I asked to do unban me I didn’t do anything wrong and I am banned I emailed your support but no one responded do it unban asap ### 1/5 — Do NOT use this app if you value your safety. *2026-08-10, version 4.6.0* The admin for this app is absolutely horrific. Someone stole my identity and posed as me in order to run a scam. When I reported it to admin, instead of taking care of this issue, they banned MY account. Now, there is still someone posing as me and nothing I can do about it. The folks that run this app should be deeply ashamed of themselves. ### 1/5 — Not it *2026-08-09, version 4.6.0* If you love dealing with men invading space for women this is the best app! If you love men who won’t take no for an answer this is the best app! ### 1/5 — Be aware *2026-08-04, version 4.6.0* Full scammers ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s good. *2026-08-18, version 4.6.0* I like it. ### 5/5 — Bay area bulletin board *2026-08-13, version 4.6.0* I love this for all things. User friendly and I meet the best people in the bay area because of it. ### 5/5 — One of the best! *2026-07-15, version 4.4.0* This dating app feels more like a community than any other dating app I’ve tried. More affordable too! ### 5/5 — Happy *2026-07-05, version 4.3.0* It’s a start ### 5/5 — Best ever *2026-06-08, version 4.1.0* The very best dating app ever ### 5/5 — Community is essential! *2026-04-29, version 4.0.1* Lex is a great way to find and connect with your people. ### 5/5 — Sometimes epic *2026-04-22, version 4.0.1* Other times gay twitter. Still a couple of my favorite humans were found here. ### 5/5 — Boow *2026-04-21, version 4.0.1* Great ### 5/5 — Review *2026-04-15, version 4.0.1* Good app ### 5/5 — Christine Williams *2026-03-30, version 4.0.1* Dba happy maid service --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
