Hopefully I can get a reply from the developers because I’d like to fix this and I’m not sure how. Thanks ### 4/5 — Update *2018-12-18* Please update on the ios devices . I rarely do anything on this app anymore I used to have droid but I switched, got this app and this app was whole lot better on my droid ### 2/5 — PLEASE UPDATE SOON! *2018-04-07, version 1.49* It took me the longest to find this app but this needs to be updated like the android version. I recently switch from an android to Apple. It needs to be updated badly the location gps is bad, there’s no thumbs up/down button or how to view certain things. ### 1/5 — Very buggy *2018-04-03, version 1.49* This app is very buggy, the app keeps freezing, it doesn’t refresh properlyand also when you write message it doesn’t send sometimes. ### 1/5 — Ugh *2018-02-18, version 1.39* Yess (sarcasm) I totally love how grown men are asking for nudes and sending pictures of there things and like I love the fact that nothing is being done about it I’m sick and tired unless your dumb enough and u want grown men harassing you go ahead download the app otherwise TURN BACK WHILE YOU CAN PEOPLE <———————- ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-06-21, version 1.39* Once you release it won't prompt you to allow location and you need to set it. Told me my email address was already in use with no option to reset password. It took me longer to type this than it existed on my phone. ### 1/5 — First page then no more *2017-05-27, version 1.39* As heading says you get to 1st screen then no further ### 1/5 — Fix it so newer versions for the iPhone can use it *2017-05-06, version 1.39* Please fix for new versions for the iPhone ### 1/5 — I would give 0 stars *2017-05-02, version 1.39* Pathetic app that won't let you sign up by email because they want your Facebook data. This app should be removed from the App Store for violating privacy policies. ### 1/5 — 90% perverts from India *2017-04-28, version 1.39* Try it. You'll have perverts harassing you almost immediately. ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2017-03-09, version 1.39* Downloaded the app and open it to register new account. Input my email address and it said email already been used. Tried another email and same thing. I never used this app before and it's annoying ### 1/5 — 0 stars if possible *2017-02-28, version 1.39* Will NOT go past the "determining your location" screen and I left it for over 5 minutes! Another piss poor app from a piss poor developer! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why *2023-11-08* Wasn’t this more successful when it was WMN live or something like that. I can’t believe yall are still keeping this going ### 1/5 — Meh *2021-06-14* No photos shown on iPhone ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-11-25, version 1.49* What happen to this app it was awesome on Android you could use gifs and post on your profile, but this iPhone version doesn’t have that option for some reason please stay original i don’t know what you employees were thinking when you decided to switch it up. ### 1/5 — Update please *2019-12-10, version 1.49* This app is horrible on iOS . Why is it better on android? Are you bias ? ### 1/5 — Bad app, one of the worst *2019-09-21* Racist people and annoying people. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2019-04-29, version 1.49* You can’t upload pictures ### 1/5 — The world does not evolve around FB *2019-03-10* There are other ways to verify a person. The social media conglomerate FB is not the only one. You need another way to use your app. Is your app useless without Facey pages? ### 1/5 — Requires FB to sign up *2018-12-17* Requires you to use Facebook to sign up. Instant delete. Had this app a few years ago. Shame they changed to FB registration. ### 1/5 — It won’t let me delete photos *2018-12-08, version 1.49* Why won’t it let me delete photos or add a new profile pic? What if I want to delete my account and delete the pictures? That’s a big privacy concern, don’t download this app people ### 1/5 — Really bad *2018-08-20* So not going to lie there are some decent people on this app but what really annoyed me was the fact that I cursed once on my recent post and they permanently suspended my account. I’m 15 and yet they don’t do anything when there are older men or women sexually harassing young teens on here 😒 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun, easy to use *2018-08-30* Live stream is super cool. Surprising number of people near me. ### 5/5 — Help for you *2017-09-09, version 1.39* For those who it keeps delaying determining location: if you are on iPhone this is what you do. Step 1: Go to settings Step 2: Scroll down to Privacy and click on "Privacy" Step 3: Click on location Services. I know it's probably on already, just keep reading. Step 4: Scroll down until you see "Nearby Live" then click on that Step 5: Under "Allow location access" click on "while using the app" Step 6: Done. It should be working now ### 5/5 — App is behind *2017-03-16* If you are stuck on the "Determining Location" screen, make sure your location services are turned on for the app. It won't work without it. Once inside it's a pretty basic app, with a world feed and messenger. I've made more than a few friends on this app, but the iOS version is by far the worst. You have to copy and paste emojis to use them in chat, you cannot send points or gifts. You cannot report or delete posts. And you have to scroll back to the top to move between the world feed and your watched posts. Over all, the app is awful. Giving five stars so my review will show at the top. ### 5/5 — Working *2017-03-11, version 1.39* Every body give is A 1 works for me😋 ### 5/5 — Simple and engaging *2016-02-16* Great app with a clean design. I've already met a couple new people and am looking forward to making more. Pleasantly surprised by the number of users in my area wanting to chat. Thanks nearby! ### 5/5 — 5star *2015-09-12, version 1.37* awsome ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-12-12, version 1.33* Love it great way to meet and chat to new people ☺️but doesn't let u send photos to friends please fix this 😢 ### 5/5 — Great app to meet people *2014-12-02, version 1.33* I love the way this app lets me meet people is awesome...! ### 5/5 — Please fix! I love this app! *2014-10-12, version 1.33* Try connecting never works though I love WNM it's my favorite social networking app ever! I have full confidence that Brian will fix it but please do so soon! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2014-06-26, version 1.29* This app is great for meeting local people! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
