Here’s the problem….

Hey! Your participation means a lot to us, and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. The opinions of our members are a fantastic way to make the community even better. We'd love to make communication more affordable and are always working hard to explore options for that. Right now, the best way to have a comfortable time is by getting a subscription. It comes with a bunch of benefits, like more matches, so you can find your lovely companion faster. Bolts only come into play once you've found a connection with Popular Members. However, you can get Bolts either in bulk for a better deal or as part of the subscription. Reach out to us at support@magnetapp.co, and we'll find a solution that works for you. It would be awesome if, in the end, you could reconsider your rating. Thanks!

Bots and fakes and scammers…oh my!
Oh. And here’s the kicker. Even if you sign up for membership, you’re still asked to pay more money to communicate with people. No other dating app does that. Why would I sign up for a subscription, if I have to keep paying? fortunately, Apple was able to see right through their scam, and give me a full refund. I would suggest not downloading this app, as it is garbage.
Definitely a scam.
This is by far the worst “dating” app I’ve ever used. In fact, this app makes other apps look amazing😂To begin, you’re given an avatar that’s auto generated I assume using AI. You’re then given options to “customize” said avatar. Okay cool, so at least you get an avatar that has your same skin color.
Secondly, these accounts HAVE to all be bots. If you’ve ever talked to a habeeb trying to hack your Facebook account, that’s how these people talk on there and their profile pictures once they’re revealed look like stock photos taken in Asia or something.
And last but not least, let’s talk about money. First off, most dating apps, actual normal dating apps allow you to talk to people you match with as long as you want without any gimmicks or paywalls. Unlike other dating apps, this one only allows you to send I think up to 10 message before they block your messages with a paywall powered by “bolts” that you have to buy. Each message costs 5 “bolts” and you get like 40 to a pack. Each pack however is like $12 a piece. So unless you have money to just throw away to talk to bots, I’d heavily suggest never even wasting your time with this app.

Hello! Thanks for the feedback! All the rules are laid out in our app and on the Magnet community website, but we're happy to remind you. Each member has a certain number of free messages, and after that, you decide if you're ready to take things to the next level, the so-called 'bump.' Once that happens, Bolts come into play with Popular members only. However, you can get Bolts with a subscription or as a rewards for daily activity. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to support. We'll explain everything in detail if needed. As for suspicious members, we'll definitely look into what happened in your situation, but violating Magnet community policy comes with consequences, so no worries. We strictly enforce the rules and will continue to do so. Reach us at support@magnetapp.co. Thanks in advance!

Clearly a Money Grabber
Everything seems pretty normal, a 52 year old guy sent a creepy message at the start, everyone else seemed pretty normal. But then as I started initiating chats with other people they started somehow knowing information about me I hadn’t said previously. One I started talking to immediately asked if I was looking forward to watching a movie even though we’d not even mentioned anything like that yet. Also typos started becoming very abundant the more I talked to people.
I could have just chalked this down to a little weirdness but that’s when the paywalls started hitting me. Every time I got a person to reveal their image I was immediately hit with a “But more bolts”. Why would you design a dating app, designed to be focused on chatting, require you to pay money, to chat? It doesn’t make any sense. I could understand maybe having a premium feature that allows you to use chat stickers, or custom outfits or modifications to your character, or chat room themes, anything other than forcing you to pay to do the 1 thing the app is good for.
Don’t waste your time on this app. Move of the “people” that you’ll message or that will message you are bots or ai, and even if you do finally encounter a real person, the app will force you to pay before you can actually get to know them.

Avoid at all costs
I feel their using A.I for the convos as each person reply’s to the questions I ask except for the exchange of info… if you ask for Snapchat they reply account deactivated or I don’t use that.. cool ask for a phone number nope phone got stolen okay Instagram… nope don’t use that either and if it wasn’t obvious every account you try and ask for socials for make up excuses but go ahead waste your money on a feature that’s supposed to be free guess having freedom of speech isn’t so free when you gotta pay for it
One last thing doesn’t matter what you pick for a location the app will find people change their location to a close location from you and go from there

Awful
However, there are several downsides. First, they ask if you want to be matched with “similar aged” people. Doesn’t matter how you answer, you will get huge age differences.
Second, there is no search engine. So you get, what you get. Age doesn’t matter, according to everyone you chat with. Really, a 19 yr old will date a 60 yr old? I highly doubt that to ever be true.
Third, bolts are ridiculously expensive. However, who would ever pay to chat? 5 bolts per chat, with only 10 additional bolts each day to subscribers. Again, why would anyone pay to chat?
Lastly, bots. 99% of the chats are bots. Profile pics are clearly photoshopped, or just outright fake. Chats are just driven to sell more bolts. Please, heed my warning, don’t waste you money.
All-in-all, this is the most fake dating app available. I DO NOT recommend this app and will not renew my subscription. Your money, your choice. Please herd my warnings.

Great concept, awful execution
Why would I want to pay$15 for 40 messages or subscribe for months when I’m planning on finding a relationship and eventually deleting this app, plus every single person I matched with was subscribed and brought this up with my matches and they almost seemed like carbon copies of one another, if you’re looking to chat with an ai, this is the app for you
Response from developer
Hello! Thank you for dedicating your time to our community! After a bump occurs and you find your suitable conversation partner, Bolts start to be consumed. However, the beauty of a subscription is that you begin receiving these Bolts daily as various gifts. We'd be delighted to tell you more; the new version holds numerous surprises that will be revealed gradually. We'll share all the details in an email; just let us know at support@magnetapp.co.
Greedy
Since this app does hide identities it is easy to be talking to a bot rather than a person. With Ai on the rise this only creates future concerns for apps like this. As the entire time someone could just be taking to a Ai chat with a Ai generated image. Some of us don’t wish to risk spending money on a connection that ends up being auto generated instead. Again why the add strategy have a hub where you watch adds or downloaded partnered apps would be beneficial as it would give more people comfort that they are not blowing money into false hope.
Response from developer
Hello! Thank you so much for your detailed review. We agree that AI is becoming increasingly prevalent in our modern world, and there's not much we can do about it. AI is indeed making its way into our daily lives. Fortunately, in Magnet, such technologies are only used for generating user avatars, and it will continue to be that way. Regarding the idea about advertising, we appreciate your input, and we'll take it into consideration. Just a quick reminder that Bolts are only used once a 'bump' occurs between you and your conversation partner. Furthermore, a subscription provides daily Bolts as a reward. We're grateful for your time and interest, so please reach out to our Support Team, and in the email subject, mention 'AppStore review, Rocaster.' We'll have a nice surprise for you, and we hope it helps you find your someone special. You can contact us through the app or at support@magnetapp.co.
This app a whole SCAM!!!!!
And the whole premise of these bolts is wild, you get like 10 to start the convo, and each text costs 2 bolts, so you get send like 5 messages and then you gotta spend as little at 12 bucks or something to eat more bolts or the conversation ends then and there. This app is a cash grab and a bad one at that.
DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS APP!!!! Especially when there are real dating apps out there that work perfectly fine without even needing to put money into them. This is my P.S.A to everyone - This app isn’t worth the energy, get back onto Tinder and Bumble and find you some real people!

Nothing but bots
If you do message someone, all the signs are there that these are fake accounts, bots, scammers, or etc. Even when you try to talk to them off the app and explain the cost, all the responses are the same (and almost the same sentence).
The developer will provide a generic narcissist style response like it’s your fault.
Do not download this app or waste your money!
Response from developer
Hello! Thanks for the feedback. Sorry we didn't meet your expectations yet - we'll certainly work on it. Premium status gives you awesome discovery benefits, including free daily Bolts and matches. You may need extra Bolts to chat with that special someone you’ve discovered. If you did, congrats! I recommend buying a bigger pack for bigger savings! 😉
Full of bots
You start talking with a bot with an avatar who at first seems like a real person, but it’s it’s chatgpt. And then once you send about 15-20 messages to each other, you get the option to bump them and see if they bump you back, meaning do you like each other’s conversations. Problem with that is that of course they are going to bump you(because it’s a bot) and when you bump back, you get locked behind a pay wall and you can’t continue chatting with them until you pay money. But then you get to see their real picture and you see it’s a gorgeous picture who’s clearly a professional stolen picture and a bot just designed to get you to spend money. I don’t think there’s a real person on here. Don’t waste your time with this app.

We apologize for any dissatisfaction you may have with our pricing. Kindly note that these resources are required to maintain and improve our app. Thank you for your understanding.
Too New, Dumb, and Greedy Wast of $
It is dumb because it doesn’t put any big deal breakers in the profile and I am 42 and every day I get at lest 8 girls messaging me from 19-30 yr olds with there so call sensible age range option turned on….
Greedy because after a few txt it reveals the real pictures after that point it cost 5 bolts per message and it cost 10 bolts per picture sent and received
After you pay the monthly fee you only get 10 bolts per day if you buy more you get 40 bolts for $12
And to top it all off it seems to have a lot of people that seem like they work for the app it self and only try to drain you of your bolts then they stop talking aka they know your out of bolts
Response from developer
Hello! Thank you for your rating! We understand that our communication platform may not seem like the cheapest way to correspond with your special someone, but the quality of our service more than compensates for the cost. Did you know that with your subscription you receive a lot of awesome features like free bolts every day? Please contact us at support@magnetapp.co and we'll do our best to find a solution for you.
Just an attempt to take your money, that’s it.
You have a conversation with somebody you don’t get to see up until the point you have to reveal your photo and when you do they ask you for money to continue the conversation. It’s as simple and as stupid as that. It’s also very clear that most conversations you have are with people hired to do so even though they tell you that’s not the case.
Also, you could just as easily have the same experience on any other dating app for free by not sharing or posting a photo until you get to know someone. In fact, a very popular dating app, has a speed dating feature that offers the same experience but at no cost with a thousand times more users.

Expensive and spambots
*Update* the designer wants more details. Hmm how about stop advertising your app as a free chat. You only allow a limited number of messages free and then once a pair match ALL further messages are at over $2 PER message. Complete and total rip-off. I’ve already deleted the app and will NOT ever utilize it again. It’s a total scam and rip-off.
Response from developer
Hello! We appreciate your review loads! You can use the app for free but if you'd like to get the full-blow experience with extra Bolts, we recommend subscription. Is it possible for you to help us look into it by giving us examples of said messages to support@magnetapp.co? We would really appreciate hearing from you. Our goal is to make our platform the safest for social discovery & dating.
App is fake
Response from developer
Hi! Your message is loud and clear. Please consider that people can communicate rather differently depending on the context of communication. If you're concerned about the authenticity of profiles, please rest assured that we pay careful attention to this area. Otherwise, our platform is open to casual as much as formal chats.

Fake Profiles.
Response from developer
Hello! We appreciate your feedback but it seems a bit strange as all the users have exactly the same access. If you come across a suspicious profile, please report it, and Moderation Team will check it asap. For more information please contact us at support@magnetapp.co We would love to offer upgrades for a cheaper price, yet at the moment, our mission is to avoid sacrificing the quality of our services to our users. Please rest assured, however, that your money is well invested into one of the best user discovery journeys. Reach out to us for some tailor-fit tips too: support@magnetapp.co
Meet them & Move to another platform
I read some reviews and some of the developers responses and they claim; “Frankly, Magnet can be used for free, but if you'd like to get the full-blown experience, we do recommend subscribing.” That’s not the case, you can have a small conversation then you have to pay to continue talking to them-
If I continue to use this app, I’m definitely gonna try and get the people on a different platform- because I’m not paying $20 to talk to someone.
