Only remove it. I wonder if Apple cares.. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2024-03-24* Won’t let you finish signing up. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Speak for free *2024-01-18* You can only speak with a person of a person has accepted your like. There are old profiles and it’s not possible to contact/wrote to anyone .a but buggy. Have to input who you want to meet EVERYTIME, you lie someone and there’s lots of others bugs. ### 5/5 — Nice app!  ‍ *2023-01-25, version 1.4* Didn’t know it was many people around.
