Local is my town and near by towns. Let’s not forget about the pay wall. Oh yeah they don’t mention that 🤫 ### 4/5 — Is good but scammer *2025-01-27, version 9.0* if you reading this message report a scammer immediately because I keep getting almost scammed take my advice ### 4/5 — Good app but one thing *2023-09-07* Genuinely love this app. Very easy to use, easy to block/report profiles if needed. This is great fun. Dont have to pay to use it either, would give more stars if i could 😃 ### 1/5 — Fake accounts😡 *2023-05-24* First of all this app sucks. Second off girls on this app are fake. They share their Snap or Instagram and when you text them they don’t even wanna talk🤦🏻‍♂️ it’s always the females and their gold digger attitude ### 1/5 — DONT WASTE YOUR TIME (unless your looking for a hooker) *2023-03-17, version 7.5* this app is riddled with scammers and women soliciting themselves trying to get desperate men to pay to sleep with them. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2023-03-06, version 7.5* It's a pretty good dating app for finding ppl nearby and there are a lot of ppl on here. Only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is mainly cuz my messages in the app keep hiding behind others and the only way I can see them is to delete the ones in front of them. other than that, been using for years and its been pretty chilled ### 1/5 — L *2023-02-26, version 7.5* I was supposed to meet a girl l meet on but instead she was not real I got scammed please don't ever download this app now I lost 400dollars. And police was called in ### 3/5 — Great site *2023-02-20, version 7.5* Have to say I have met some very interesting and great people om here. Been using the app for many years on and off and because everything is free just makes it more great of an app. ### 5/5 — Cool *2023-02-20, version 7.5* Pretty good for a free app The location filter is a litte buggy at times, saying someone is close but they are actually in a different city. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2023-02-15, version 7.5* The only thing I don't like about this app is that my credits are reduced even if I don't use it and the adds on the screen that appear when I use it are irritating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No luck *2026-08-17, version 10.5* Cannot find local guys and a lot of scammers ### 1/5 — My problem *2026-01-22, version 9.5* Please why is it that after I subscribed to be a VIP you still want me to hold my ears for verification again and I think this is soo disrespectful ### 1/5 — Scammers!! *2025-12-30, version 9.5* All of the women I’ve talked to on this site seem genuine but within the first week they all have asked for money.. be careful of their stories about their kids, sick grandparents, or work not able to pay them… all a money grab! ### 1/5 — Fake people *2025-10-06, version 9.4* Every one i talked to was either looking to get paid to send sexy pics or begging for money. Honestly many of the profiles seem to be AI generated and fake. Dont waste your time, there are no real connections to be made ### 1/5 — I’m confused please help me *2025-03-10, version 9.0* Since I created account on the app I have been swiping but I never got notification from anybody so as to know if the account is working or flagged 😥 ### 1/5 — Crummy app *2025-01-15, version 9.0* Doesn’t work Get a different app ### 1/5 — Boring *2025-01-12, version 9.0* The worst app ever ### 1/5 — Totoooq *2024-01-20, version 8.5* The site is full of fake accounts.. very bad and I suggest people be careful here. ### 1/5 — Very disturbing seeing someone pretending to be me. *2023-11-28, version 7.8* O stars I downloaded this app a week ago and i see a fake acc with photos of me that I have posted on instagram. I reported the fake acc please delete all fake accounts that could be people that don’t even know their photos are being used. Do not believe what they say they are no matter if they send multiple photos. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE AND BANNED ALL FAKE ACCS!! ### 1/5 — SOMEBODY MADE A FAKE ACCOUNT OF ME *2023-06-03, version 7.8* How do I even get in touch with support I can’t find anything online I need that account off there ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Great App for Connections *2026-03-03, version 9.5* This dating app offers a clean, user-friendly interface and smart matching based on shared interests. The filters make it easy to find suitable matches, and profile verification adds a sense of safety. Overall, it’s a reliable platform for meeting genuine people and building meaningful connections. ### 5/5 — Worst dating experience *2025-10-17, version 9.4* When first began using this app, I noticed that many female profile displayed inappropriate images and were not verified. When I interacted with many women were dishonest about their intentions. They gain your trust to only use for anything they want. I spent over 3 months on this app and came to the conclusion that I wasted money and my time. I would never recommend this app because of the bad woman on here. ### 5/5 — It is ok *2025-05-11, version 9.1* it is great app, to meet people from over the global, I’m enjoying it, chat with members. ### 5/5 — thanks *2025-04-26, version 9.0* I like how quickly I can connect with others in my area. Great for casual chats or serious connections. Definitely worth trying if you're single! ### 5/5 — It's Ok *2023-09-05* A very sweet site ,but why cant i signup again, ever since you blocked my account ,i am trying to create new account ,its getting difficult to signup ,please assistance needed ### 5/5 — Not bad *2023-09-04* The people I'm swipping through seem to be attractive & different although I'm a little discouraged to send messages without having a match due to the accessibility of sending a messaging vs figuring out that the user doesn't accept them (I also don't remember if I could review people I liked either) ### 5/5 — No Matches *2023-03-10, version 7.5* pretty simple app to meet new people. although, sometimes notifications don't pop up ### 5/5 — It's Ok *2023-03-07, version 7.5* Good app, but I do not get notifications for messages that were sent to me. I have to check and often miss by hours. ### 5/5 — Review *2023-03-06, version 7.5* The app works great for me, swapping between tabs works really smoothly, but it would be better if the first match you got, you could chat for free with. I do not feel like talking to someone should be a pay-to-chat ### 5/5 — Local dating *2023-03-06, version 7.5* Perfect app but the is little things the have to fix because sometimes it is to slow --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
