If your going to make a application to help people connect there’s not bigger barrier to place in between them than money. Some of us don’t got much to spend honestly the app would have made probably more money with a add feature. A feature to watch adds to gain 5 bolts and a bonus 5 if you download a app would have been a smart marketing strategy. People would be watching the adds and trying different apps to continue to connect if they don’t have the funds. 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — This app a whole SCAM!!!!! *2023-07-02* The first day, the first hour I started using this app, it was made clear how nobody you chat with is real. Very unnatural wording and when you chat long enough to reveal the profile pic, it’s like the person is AI generated, they just don’t look real. It’s uncanny valley with all these people and if you ask to get a phone number to take the chat outside the app, it just so happens each person dumped a load of money and has all the “bolts” they could ever need. 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! **Developer response:** Good day! Sorry that we haven't met your expectations with our pricing. Frankly, Magnet can be used for free, but if you'd like to get the full-blown experience, we do recommend subscribing. We're always happy to give you personalized suggestions on how to improve your discovery or fit into a particular budget. Contact us please at support@magnetapp.co ### 1/5 — Nothing but bots *2023-06-09* You can use the app for free initially, but can’t talk to anyone more than a few messages. Then you pay to subscribe, and after sending several messages they require you to purchase “bolts” to continue messaging. $20 to subscribe then a range of prices 59 buy “bolts”And each message costs 5 “bolts”. The pricing model is horrible and is a quick money grab scheme. 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! **Developer response:** 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! 😉 ### 1/5 — Full of bots *2023-05-18* Tried the app out, and the “free” version they are talking about is basically consist of this… 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. **Developer response:** Hello! We appreciate your rating and feedback. Could you kindly specify which profiles you are referring to? Our team at support@magnetapp.co is eager to assist you promptly. 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. ### 1/5 — Too New, Dumb, and Greedy Wast of $ *2023-04-27* I think this app is too new ,dumb,greedy 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 **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Just an attempt to take your money, that’s it. *2023-04-02* They try and sound wholesome with their concept of not judging someone based on looks but it’s really just a pump and dump app for your money. 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. **Developer response:** Good day! Sorry that we haven't met your expectations with our pricing. Frankly, Magnet can be used for free, but if you'd like to get the full-blown experience, we do recommend subscribing. We're always happy to give you personalized suggestions on how to improve your discovery or fit into a particular budget. Contact us please at support@magnetapp.co ### 1/5 — Expensive and spambots *2023-04-01* Don’t waste your time. Full of bots that waste your free messages until you run out and then the want you to pay. Additional messages are expensive and they have more than 1 subscriptions available which are confusing and push the price even higher. You can’t get to meet anyone until AFTER you pay. Everything before is a waste of time. *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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — App is fake *2023-03-21* I downloaded this after seeing an ad on tik tok. Felt off the moment I started using it. Interface is incredible simple. The avatars are kinda cool I guess but the most glaring issue is that pretty much every “user” appears to be fake. They aren’t bots but they do seem to be monitored by people who don’t have a great grasp of grammar and sentence construction, implying unfamiliarity with the language of choice. Even if they were real, the process that the app goes through to make money is exploitative at best. It takes “energy” (in this app called bolts) to send a message. Five bolts equals one message. You get ten a day. That’s two messages to send a day. Combined with fake profiles it’s all just a major catfish to trick people into spending money. I know the devs are going to respond and say something like “Dating apps need to make money too” or “Every user is real” but they’re just trying to cover the dirt with a rug. **Developer response:** 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. Sorry that we haven't met your expectations with our pricing. Frankly, Magnet can be used for free, but if you'd like to get the full-blown experience, we do recommend subscribing. We're always happy to give you personalized suggestions on how to improve your discovery or fit into a particular budget. Contact us please at support@magnetapp.co ### 1/5 — Fake Profiles. *2023-03-10* Every single person I have spoken to, does not want to get off the app and talk elsewhere. Out of 13 matches, 13 of them told me that they do not use any sort of social media, including Instagram, Snapchat, or Facebook. Half of them, can’t even complete a full sentence without having some sort of misspelling. I reverse searched some of the photos, and they all come from different websites, and if they ask where you are from, even though their profile, says Dallas, Denver, San Diego, they will say that they are from exactly where you are from. The conversation is so dry. If you try to delete the app, it gives you 10 free bolts, which equals to two free messages. This app is extremely overpriced, and after about 14 to 16 messages, it reveals someone’s photo, but it is definitely not theirs. Every single person asks if I look like my profile photo. Why would I even post a photo if I didn’t look like it. Or if it wasn’t me. This app is a complete money grab, you get anything from it, and it shocks me that someone between the age of 18 to 25. Doesn’t use any type of social media. I’m pretty sure this app is entirely artificial intelligence. **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — Meet them & Move to another platform *2023-02-23, version 2.9.0* So I downloaded this app in hopes of making friends. Everything was going great, I was meeting people and having good conversations- then the app prompted me with a “what do you feel about this chat” you can pass, for free, or pay to continue talking. 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. **Developer response:** Hello! We fully get you! 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 ### 1/5 — Total scam *2023-02-23, version 2.9.0* I subscribed but still can’t send messages without buying “bolts”? Seriously??? I’m also certain I’ve not spoken to any real people. A lot of the responses I get are identical, word for word. And not a single person I’ve matched with has agreed to chat elsewhere so we won’t be restricted. They just keep saying to buy more bolts. Don’t fall for this. I’ve already reported it to apple and requested a refund. What an absolute shame because the concept of dating this way is actually pretty intriguing. I think this could be done legitimately and be successful, but unfortunately these crooks have decided to be shady about it. ### 1/5 — Mostly a scam? *2023-02-12, version 2.9.0* I tried to use this app for a while, the idea of the app is kinda of fun but once you start talking to people it gets weird. A lot of people talk the same way, the message back very fast and the English is sub par, very confusing at times and uncharacteristic of what you would expect. I have a lot of experience with scams and they talk very similarly. My best guess is the don’t have a large user base and have many fake accounts that try to make people feel like they are connecting with you so you will spend money to keep on talking to them. In reality I’m almost sure Im just talking to some middle aged guy. I’d still give it a go and maybe you will have better luck then me but after 30+ conversations I don’t think this is legit. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Pay for BOT DATING! AWESOME for COMPUTERS! *2023-01-30, version 2.7.0* At first, I was having a good time chatting with potential partners on this app, we meshed well and I enjoying carrying conversations. However, I keep having to pay out bolts just to continue basic communication, and they are RIDICULOUSLY priced! Whatever, fine, I’ll give this app a shot, if I find companionship out of this, it’ll be worth it. But $12 for only a set of messages drain quickly, and each match of mine on the app keeps saying we shouldn’t move the conversation elsewhere… WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WOULD KEEP PAYING TENS OR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO *MAYBE* FIND A DECENT MATCH THEY CAN *MAYBE* ONE DAY CONNECT WITH? This app is a complete cash grab and scam, if I didn’t have to pay to send almost every message to whomever, I wouldn’t feel as strongly as I do. I’m immediately requesting a refund and deleting this app, it’ll be a blessing to see the money I spent again. IF YOU VALUE YOUR MONEY AND AREN’T INTERESTED IN POTENTIALLY FAKE PARTNERS, STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP!!!! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻❌❌❌❌❌❌❌ **Developer response:** Hello! We fully get you! 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 ### 1/5 — This is a scam! *2023-01-17, version 2.6.1* The people on here are either boys or workers for the company. They never want to meet in real life or even talk in ways other than this app. So if you really want to get to know someone you end up spending a lot of money on “bolts”. They ask the same questions more than once and repeatedly ask if you have subscribed “because I have and I love it!”. Yes Jim Bob I did subscribe and also had to shell out more money just to get to know what I thought was another person. Another thing that made it suspicious is the fact that I never received a confirmation email even though I had it resent MULTIPLE times. I will be looking into getting a refund since this isn’t real. ### 1/5 — Best dating scam out there *2023-01-14, version 2.6.1* The effort and time it has taken to create this fake dating app is impressive. All of my matches seemed like real people, with nice pictures. Don’t be fooled, it’s probably some sweaty guy on the other end being paid $17 an hour to respond. I like the authenticity in, “developer responses” but it’s probably just another dude they pay $19 an hour, because it’s on App Store, to respond. Please don’t download. I paid tons of money for a scam. Apple needs to remove this app. It’s truly a scam and hurts people looking for love. Shame on you for allowing this app. I’m curious, developer, what is your response? I talked with matches for days but they couldn’t exchange simple email addresses? Phony. Shame, shame on you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Here’s the problem…. *2024-04-06* Here’s what I like about this app -Concept Here’s what I dislike about this app -The execution It costs bolts(app currency) to talk to popular members… Which is 90% of the app. And you don’t use bolts on the non popular members but they are basically ghosts. The bolts themselves as wholesale items are way to expensive for their limited uses You can get a membership at a monthly price and yet that membership doesn’t give you many bolts on the daily. It actually doesn’t do much at all. Completely worthless to buy in my opinion. All the girls so far insist on only being talked to on this app. Even when they spill their feelings and swear they like you enough to sext. Overall without spilling more about this scammy activity. Don’t download this. Save your money and go through the traditional route. Even if you have self confidence issues. I promise you’ll have better luck anywhere but here.. **Developer response:** 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! ### 1/5 — All bots *2024-03-07* If I could give this 0 stars, I would. Downloaded it yesterday to check it out and got quite a few responses so I thought this app was pretty cool. Until today when I realized every “person” I was talking to was a bot asking random questions, typing words incorrectly, and asking the same questions over and over. You might ask “why would they do this?” Well you have to pay a monthly subscription to continue talking to people after a few exchanges. Then after you do that, you have so many texts you can send before you have to “top up” on “bolts” to keep sending messages. The people seemed real enough until I paid for the subscription, and then it’s almost like the bot AI got turned to “stupid mode” cuz it was easy to tell. One even sent me an AI generated harbor saying they went there recently. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY! IT IS A SCAM! **Developer response:** Hey! 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, or daily Bolts! Write at support@magnetapp.co, and we'll find a solution that works for you. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Bots and fakes and scammers…oh my! *2023-12-05* I came across this app whilst browsing on Instagram. Thinking that this would be a neat way to meet a new person, I signed up. And I would immediately get responses, which was fun -until I began to analyze that the language being used seemed like a cross between AI and a Nigerian. Also, on a day that I logged in, one of my “matches“ was first listed as being in New York City, before it automatically changed over to my town. I wish I could post a photo of this, because you have no idea how scammy that is. 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. ### 1/5 — Definitely a scam. *2023-11-10* Overall experience: -10/10, they should pay you to use this app. 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. **Developer response:** 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! ### 1/5 — Deceptive. Fake & a Scam *2023-11-08* The concept of this app seems intriguing at first, but in reality, it's a complete scam. You can't message anyone without purchasing "bolts," and these run out quickly, costing around $12 for just a few messages. Moreover, they push you to buy a subscription, which still limits your messaging. What's even more suspicious is that after a few conversations, I realized that all the women I talked to were actually bots. They refused to communicate outside the app insisted that I talk to them on the app and responded instantly without and delay, making it clear that something was off like as if they had the app opened on their phone all the time. In short, this app is a total letdown and likely one of the biggest scams out there. Save your time and money because while the concept appears promising, their tactics are deceptive and misleading. **Developer response:** 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.'

Thanks in advance! ### 1/5 — Clearly a Money Grabber *2023-10-31* I got this app, made an account, got around 5 people messaging me immediately, the ages ranged from 21-52. 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. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback. What happened? Magnet strongly disapproves of any violation of our dating policy and ensures that our community remains one of the safest. If you've encountered someone who has raised concerns, please click the 'report' button, and our team will take it from there.

Your rating is much appreciated! If you've encountered any challenges, we're here to offer swift assistance. At Magnet, we have a zero-tolerance policy for the misuse of AI to violate community guidelines. We'd like to emphasize that a subscription provides significant benefits for a more enjoyable community experience. We're eager to thoroughly review your concerns and propose a solution that caters to everyone's needs. Please don't hesitate to contact us at support@magnetapp.co. Your proactive communication is highly valued. Thank you in advance! ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-09-29* This app is easy to load, build profile, and create a cool avatar. It allows you to chat with someone for free, with 7 free chats, you can purchase more. Chats are limited in characters, but not info. Share whatever you want. Pic’s cost more than chats 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. **Developer response:** Hello and welcome! Thank you for the feedback, we will take it into account. Have you reached out to our support team? We would be happy to help you address the issue concerning questionable members. We are committed to investigating this thoroughly and taking action against anyone who violates our policy.

Bots pull info from other bots. One said they wanted to meet my gecko which I had never mentioned in any way at all. But I did to a different bot. That’s when I really got sussed.. so I decided to test it and not a single one would accept texting for free over normal means and would ask me to get a subscription. Which I already had, when I said I already had the subscription it seems like it can’t handle that response because it’ll ask you to upgrade to a more premium version to message more often. But theirs only 1 tier of membership. I have reported this app and requested a refund. I hope to see this app taken down before they can steal anyone else’s money. **Developer response:** Welcome! Thank you for your feedback, we'll take it into account. Have you reached out to our support team? We'd be happy to assist you in addressing the issue concerning questionable members. We are determined to thoroughly investigate this matter and take action against policy violators. Please let us know if you haven't already at support@magnetapp.co. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Great concept, awful execution *2023-09-05* So this app has a wonderful idea and concept behind it. The fact that you can’t see the profile picture until you have a few messages and you have to agree that you like them and they like you all amazing fantastic ideas. The problem is they only give you 10 messages and then once you connect if the person likes you, you have to subscribe to continue messaging. 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 **Developer response:** 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — useful *2023-01-17, version 2.6.1* I got this app October 12 last year and I remember the date because my beautiful cat died. So thankfully it gave me some escape and to be happy about. That day really helped because every one was so nice about my cat. And since I found a lot of good friends on magnet. I don’t think there’s even enough apps like this where you hang out and chat and avoid those with bad behavior. My cartoon avatar always cheers me up! ### 5/5 — The wind *2023-01-17, version 2.6.1* New year new me as the saying goes. Well this year I really want to shake my life and do something different which is why i got magnet. It gives some new way of meeting online without dumping the good ones. Like rag n bone man says I’m only human after all and everyone just needs some empathy and this app tries hard to help connect me to caring guys who don’t chase me for my looks. Give me smart and wise any day! ### 5/5 — Tony has *2023-01-17, version 2.6.1* At first I didn’t like it when it made me look weird but thankfully I got over it. Everyone is curious to see how I really look because as someone once said I look goofy sexy. And I think it’s good it helps you accept yourself and just get on with it. Better to get on with someone before you get the hots because it will last longer imho and that’s based on experiences. So just be yourself and see what happens even if it makes you look a goof lol ### 5/5 — High praise *2023-01-17, version 2.6.1* I’ve been using this app for just under a month and let’s just stay some interesting stuff has happened since I got it. I found out how I look as an avatar and answered a load of questions to see who I can match with and had lots of chats. But the best thing is I had one special chat and we instantly clicked and are now dating. It’s been a very good way to find someone who’s right for me and wants the same as me in life. ### 5/5 — It's a great app *2023-01-17, version 2.6.1* Did this app match me up? Before I tell u I wanna say about my experience and what I think too it. First up I gotta say I liked the idea right away which is what got my notice. I always love cartoons and think chatting to some one who looks like they out of a comic is pretty cool plus its good to talk without judging on looks. Anyways with this app u get to see each other if you get on so that the point. And fyi it took me 2 months to meet my gf ### 5/5 — Great *2022-04-05, version 1.5.0* Its great that we can exchange contact details here but there are some people that dont want to give me their phone numbers. The few that have tried to sell me stuff! Haha. I’ll keep on looking for the right match for a few more days. Maybe I was just not lucky. Waiting for my matches to refresh now. Would be nice to pay not to wait or something… ### 5/5 — Its really original way to meet someone! *2021-12-23, version 1.1.0* Its really original way to meet someone! There’s more to this app than just mindless stuff and you don’t get blown off like usual! My avatar was funny and I had some really great convos and found some very suitable people so it’s more than just some hookup app like others out there. I guess the name is quite appropriate!! ### 4/5 — More visibility on this app than others *2022-11-22, version 2.3.0* I would say that my experience on the app has been mostly positive my only complaint is the bolts to talk more than 10ish messages after meeting someone. And most people don’t feel like giving out there social media to talk on only after 10 messages. So my solution suggestion would be: A. Allow unlimited texts with premium purchase B. With premium you use less bolts C. Allow for more messages to be exchanged after the bump The forming of the connection on this platform is easy and the avatar idea is wonderful. It just feels like a money sink even tho I have premium. I’d be willing to pay more on premium to get unlimited texts. ### 3/5 — Great app but the bolts *2022-09-09, version 2.0.0* This app is great I’ve had great connections with people the only thing I think is a negative in the app is how each message costs 5 bolts. I bought bolts and have the membership but when you connect with someone and have a great conversation those bolts get spent quickly and I don’t want to make the person I’m talking to feel like I just ghosted them and it gets pretty expensive buying more bolts even with the packs. Maybe change it to 1 bolt per message instead of 5. ### 2/5 — Littered with Bugs and Bots *2022-11-08, version 2.2.0* As an iOS developer myself, I have noticed many bugs that are easily fixable. Most of these bugs involve the UI. It is impossible to dismiss notifications if you are in an active chat and also you cannot close out of someone’s profile unless you click the “chat” button. These UI issues are easily fixable with simple swipe and tap events. As well, many of the “users” on this app are not in fact real people, which is annoying to the end user. This app has really good potential, but needs some work in terms of verifying users as well as the UI/UX. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
