Had Potential (I hope)

It seems amazing at first - the formatting, the style of the app with having daily questions to answer, only being able to share a photo here and a pre-formatted customizable post there. I was ecstatic at first. I’ve met a cool person or two, however the cons…

It’s incredibly buggy, opens and works as intended 1 out of every 5-7 tries. Setting my preferred age range for folks to meet is ineffective as I’ve consistently been paired with folks well outside my preferred age range as well as with men who seem to be using the app like a more mindful Tind3r, unfortunately.

If you upload a photo you didn't mean to, presently there’s no option for deletion - only replacing the photo. The features when it comes to profile customization are extremely buggy and lacklustre at best.

It feels like it was inspired in part by the amazing app Agape (not paid, just a happy customer) but without the seamless functionality.

Overall, about 2 weeks in, I’ve blocked several guys, one of whom persistently tried asking about explicit topics and was clearly using the app inappropriately and is still on there.

1-2/5 but leaning 1 due to non-responsive support.

Problems loading

I really love this app. I would love to use it religiously, every day, responding to the people I have met virtually. Screen freezes so often, though, I am frustrated.
(UPDATE): Quickly responsive developers, contacted me and offered to help me get through whatever is going on, finding whatever bugs, and resolving the problem. On my iPad it seems to have resolved itself. I will contact the developers for further information solving the problem on my iPhone. I am very impressed with the service offered by the developers.

Sense of community but be vigilant

I had my issue resolved but yes as the other reviewer on here stated, beware and vigilant of who you’re talking to and keep it on this platform. Another tip, if you talking to them about meeting and then they suddenly say they cannot and ask you for money, don’t do it. Stick to the people on here from places here in the US that can verify where they’re from. I mean anyone can say they’re based here but it can be easy to tell who is and isn’t by asking probing questions. Do not let their stories of widow living or working outside the US fool you. There are nice people on here, truly there are. Just please be discretionary and wise. The questions are good reflections and the groups are nice. It’s a fun distraction. Just wish they had things like this for in-person.

Great idea, scammers and fake accounts ruin it

So I’ve been using this app for the past couple of weeks and enjoy answering the questions and seeing the community support each other with positivity! Such a great idea if you are tired of all the negativity on other social media platforms.

However, this app is riddled with scammers and fake accounts because it hasn’t implemented the same restrictions as other apps. If you post in either the mental health club or breakups and moving on club you will get flooded with messages from scammers playing all the classic ‘pray on people’s vulnerabilities’ scams.

They really need a verification system and only verified users can message and leave comments on posts.

Acceptable social media

During the pandemic, social media became all the rage. Particularly “tick-tock” when using social media, I quickly became enraged. I came for pictures of peoples lunch. They came with personal agendas. I want to community. They wanted disunity. This social media app I really like because I feel like it’s calm and you get to journal. They’re like-minded people in groups, expressing memories, mindfulness, togetherness, and Joy! this is not your run-of-the-mill social media app. I think it’s more friendly. It has a better crowd of people. Briefly, they did have a problem with spam, but they really nip that in the bud. I’m quite proud of them for that. Currently, there are no ads and I hope it stays that way. I really enjoy this app
