SCAM

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!!!

Scam, don’t download

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.

THIS APP IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF DON’T DOWNLOAD IT

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!

Terrible don’t waste your money

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

Absolute scam

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!

Fake - scam

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

This app is all fake accounts and bots don’t download

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

UNSAFE, SUSPICIOUS, CASH GRAB

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.

Biggest scam!!!!!!!

I downloaded this app over a week ago and was excited, but that was slowly drained. The so-called women on this app appear to know how to get to you and grab your attention. They all speak to you in the same manner especially learning your tendencies. They flirt and know what exactly what to say. Somehow they are familiar with your home area. I tried to meet 5 girls in 2 days and for various reasons they stood me up after I purchased their videos and pictures like they asked. They get mad when you run out of views and claim you don’t like them or aren’t serious about them. I called them out and they tell me to eff myself. I think this app is horrible and a scam and a waste of time and money. I think the programmer should be thrown in jail.

Beware of the bots

Leave here now.

I tested this app out and in less than a day, I received 48 matches with insanely beautiful partners. Wow! How lucky! They’re responsive and interested in me. Until you see the patterns. They all ask where you live, are you single? How long have you been single? Do you have kids? What are you hoping to find on this app? Then they want you to buy tokens for private videos. No one wants to move off the app, no one wants to date, they’re all here to meet someone right now for a fling. But you gotta pay the app the tokens to see a picture of their cell phone number.

Also, I live in a predominantly black area, and there have been literally zero black women on the app. So it’s not very believable that they’re in my area.

I did a reverse image search of one of the profiles and found that they were using content that was stolen from an adult content creator. Do not use this app, do not give them money, know your worth and know you have value. You’re not a cash cow. Shame on Friends Tech Limited for preying on lonely people.

Legal?

The profiles here used convincing knowledge like nearby towns and actual conversation about my idividual pictures to convince me they’re real girls. Like maybe we all found this obscure app to meet locally and fast. They sent nudes and received them back. I’ve been taken advantage of at a time in my life where my judgement is clouded. This is beyond messed up. Frankly, I’m just gonna put this behind me.
NOBODY waste time or money on this. China is an evil country preying on peoples emotions and intelligence with this app. And yes, I’m the idiot that fell for it. I’m sure this will eventually become a HUGE deal. But I don’t want to think about it too much.

Local spark

This app is truly amazing , a lot of young woman on this site that all live remotely in the same vicinity, but this site is kind of odd. No one will meet up with you unless you watch their videos. Or view their pictures. And they send you endless amounts of videos and pictures and you actually have to pay for them. You have to pay extra for them. It would be really cool, if this site had an unlimited package. That you could purchase so that you can view unlimited videos instead of having to pay extra every single time. But this site is awesome. I’ve gotten over 1000 likes and spoken to 1000 women in the last month from all over the United States mostly from Virginia where I live. I really like the free texting that’s a awesome feature. And being able to send pictures without having to pay extra but all the private pictures and private videos there should be an unlimited package that you can purchase, instead of having to pay each and every time.

Fake accounts

If I could give it a zero I would I got matched with a bunch of people and all seemed normal but then they’d all start talking the same way the accounts all looked like they were from Instagram and copied I found a few fake accounts and reported them myself but nothing happened because I would see the same account again. The worst is they they all try to force you to open these private photos and videos and you have to pay to see them. It is suspicious I waisted quite a lot of money into it because of that I deleted the account and the app because it is not worth it.

Best Dating App.

I’ve tried other dating apps like Bumble & Tinder, but this feels like the most reliant of all, and the best part it’s all locals and free!! Like other apps, you can upgrade to premium for unlimited likes, but here sharing of personal photos and videos in a more private setting between users that you match with. Only if its match, does other users see your more personal photos and videos, which that availability you’ll find on here.

Big scam

Thought it was weird that within the first hour of having the app had 10 or so matches. But within minutes of talking to each person would instantly turn sexual with sending private photos and videos. Then they would get mad if you didn’t open them. Reverse imaged searched each of my matches and found either twitter posts from years ago, only fans accounts, and other sites where the names didn’t match up. When getting called out they said those people were the scammers. Don’t download this app

Scam, money grabbing, useless app

I did the leg work so the rest of you gentleman don’t have to. Every single profile in this app is either a bot or fake account. The pattern that happens is they talk to you with their generic answers and send you nothing but private videos and pictures requiring you to spend your hard earned money to open the pictures or videos. The “girls” will say “we can meet up after you look at the videos”. Don’t do it. It’s just a way to get your money. This app is pathetic and the programmers that made this app should be embarrassed as human beings.

Definitely a scam - save your money.

I’m 100% positive that the 5-star reviews are fake.

Within minutes of signing I had matched with 14 different much younger women. All the profiles are suspiciously worded, and the photos look like they’ve been sourced from Instagram. All the conversations were uncannily similar. Within minutes the women were telling me they can be naughty, in the exact same words, and sending private videos and photos, which you have to pay additional money to view. And they were very adamant that you view the private videos they sent. It got so bad I asked ChatGPT whether the women on the app were paid a commission to sell additional views. The women were very vague about where they were from. When asked they’d reply, California. When pressed for a more specific answer they wouldn’t answer until I told them where I lived and suddenly they lived nearby.
