### 1/5 — SCAM

*2024-08-04*

This site is FULL of scammers and fake people. All the “girls” are between the ages of 21-33. They ALL want to talk to you and claim to be within a 50 mile range of where you live. If you ask them easy questions, they can’t answer them. I had a friend of mine take their pics from their profiles and every single one of them is a porn star, has an OF account and when you do the search, they ALL have different names. But if you want to spend a LOT of money watching the porn videos and porn pics on here. Not ONE of these “women” are for real and their “help support” doesn’t help you at all. Do NOT download this app!!!

**Developer response:** Dear user,
Thanks for your feedback.the users here are genuine individuals.any if you turn on location authorization, app will recommend people near you.and we have been improving the app, the user's opinion is very important to us, you can contact the customer service to tell us what you think, we will consider it when upgrading the new version.

### 1/5 — Scam, don’t download

*2024-08-01*

It’s all fake, it is AI and sending pictures of women off the internet, some of them are even ai generated. All want you to buy the credit and open the videos and pictures. You matches left and right, everybody “swiped” right. Then the few you do talk to and try to meet, send me money so that we can meet. They don’t tell you where they live until you tell them. They just say the state, once you tell them the area they are magically a few towns over. 
The 1 address I got was a Dollar general 7 hours away, then all of a sudden a post office an hour away claiming it’s their home. The app is a joke, and filled with bots.

**Developer response:** Dear user,
The users here are real people,we have lots of active users every day.and if you turn on location authorization, app will recommend people near you.We create a safe and fun environment for users.maybe some users are willing to share daily and photos, and you can express your ideas freely.if you notice any unreasonable behavior, please report it within the app or you can tell us directly ,we will check.

### 1/5 — THIS APP IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF DON’T DOWNLOAD IT

*2024-07-29*

I signed up for this app based on their advertising saying that the women would contact you and that you would be able to meet someone! What a lie! You have to purchase so many views of videos and pictures of the women just to have them even decide to meet. And if they decide not to you are out the money for the views! When you sign up you are promised 3 free video views and 3 picture views a week and that’s a lie you get 3 total of each until you pay for your next month and then you have to purchase more views if you want them! This app is filled with beautiful women that you will never have the chance to meet! They will keep having you purchase videos and pictures and never commit to a meeting! Full of lies all so that they can drain you for money!

**Developer response:** Dear user,

### 1/5 — Terrible don’t waste your money

*2024-07-28*

The layout and setup of the app is actually pretty solid except for the fact you won’t find a single real person on the app within the first few minutes so many messages you can’t reply to them right away all the 5 star reviews are fake (not that you needed me to tell you) I constantly seen Porn stars on profiles and I’m not saying random ones I’m talking like all of the biggest names and they are saying they are someone totally different don’t waste money and pay for views is the biggest scam I’ve ever seen you can’t set your location so you might be talking to someone multiple states away you can’t set an age range so you will be “talking” to 18 or 60 year olds

**Developer response:** Dear user,

### 1/5 — Absolute scam

*2024-07-22*

Immediately after opening up a profile I literally had 40+ people match with me sending me questions about, where I live and then they say close to you, and if you don’t pay to see their pictures, they get an attitude and try to beg you to buy their nudes before they will talk to you further. Basically this whole app seems like an AI money scam, the girls always say the exact same things. Using the same phrasing, punctuation mistakes and style of writing. Highly recommend to not download and if you did, delete it immediately and save yourself some money!

**Developer response:** Dear user,
Thank you for your feedback. We have many users from different places. People choose to match with you because they are attracted by your information. We are committed to creating a safe and interesting platform to help users get in touch and develop relationships. We often receive positive feedback from users. Many people find boyfriends/girlfriends through the app. If you find any unreasonable behavior, please report it in the app and we will check it. We have been improving the screening of users ，hope you can meet your crush.

### 1/5 — Fake - scam

*2024-07-21*

This app is fake things that I noticed there is a lot of generic responses from women always talking about how they’re interested in a naughty time always sending photos and videos that are blocked knowing that this company that gets the money also gets to see these “ nude photos and videos” for free because it’s all faked and that’s how they get your money. Do you think you’re meeting them? That’s what you thought the world works. If you truly want to meet someone get all your room go outside. Talk to them in person then you know the real, not from the stupid scam of an app

### 1/5 — This app is all fake accounts and bots don’t download

*2024-07-19*

So you literally create a profile and then you sit there and try to talk to people and they all just happen to be just outside of your city and then you pay $20 or more to become a premium member for these so-called real people to message you when really it’s AI messaging you so you’re literally paying to talk to a robot and people want their money back. The customer support is AI looked up the people who created this and they’re being sued by multiple people because of it you never come across the person on the app do not download

**Developer response:** Dear user,
This is a date to be criticized, if you don't want people to know your location, you can turn off location authorization,the  users here are real people, we have lots of users every day,if you notice any unreasonable behavior,pkease contact customer service,we will try our best to help you.hoep you.hope you can find your true love here.

### 1/5 — UNSAFE, SUSPICIOUS, CASH GRAB

*2024-07-10*

Site has NO real users on it. It’s all fake accounts using images of people that are absolutely not on the app. 

All “users” that contact you ask the same exact questions in order, they all just so happen to be in your exact area but don’t even know any popular points of interest around the area. They’ll send you explicit photos/videos then ask for your address to “meet up.”

Do NOT fall for this app. It tries to get you to pay for images of people who are definitely not on the app and more than likely didn’t consent to their photos/videos being used for this.

**Developer response:** Dear user,
