### 1/5 — Not worth wasting your time

*2026-05-09, version 9.6.87*

Not worth wasting your time

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-04-08*

Waste of time. You can’t see any profiles. It’s one of those “swipe left or right” apps where the profiles are randomly generated for you to swipe on. You can only view the profile that’s randomly generated and they tend to be on the other side of the world. It’s a complete waste of time. This app is just trash.
