Come to find out that’s it . Without forking over some money , you now have a amazing, profile you & many others can see . But interactions, pay , all features are only available for a fee . I find this tac tic a cheap shot in the dating / meet up sites . Take an example of Adam4 Adam on the free features though limited, they are free to all . No bait & switch. I plane on leaving my profile open , active . To waste your time . DO nOT SIGN UP///pay site only . ### 1/5 — It’s a fake app. *2024-05-03, version 9.6.53* All photos of people and who you match with are fake look at the pictures they are years old… ### 5/5 — Awesomeness!!! *2024-04-28* NextBoy is the best app for guys to me guys hangout, hook up, etc. Highly Recommended by me, five stars several thumbs up, best ever so far. The upgrades recently done has made the experience much much more fun!!! LOVE IT!!! ### 5/5 — Good to meet new friends and old friends *2024-04-28* Used to bartend at the Bourbon pub in the French quarter New Orleans Louisiana get to meet old friends and new friends on the app I use it frequently ### 5/5 — So much better than Grindr! *2024-04-28* I have used NextBoy nearly for ten years! I have nothing but positive compliments about the company. And it’s not only in comparison to Grindr, who is awful. NextBoy’s professionalism is evident in their quality of the app and customer dedication. With NextBoy I have encountered the following : - dedicated customer support - a response in a timely fashion - a follow on customer/product request - a follow on abuser reporting - service dependability, as for example messages being delivered by either parties, sender(s)/receiver(s) - a human connections when following on on issue - relatable advertising, no Christian mingle or similar no sense. Just product that enhances the livelihood of our community LGTBQ community! No just anyone buying/selling something. I don’t give this praise because I despite Grindr’s platform so much, I know quality when I see it. I can’t wait to see NextBoy’s market value and presence exceeds that of overrated Grindr. I would be more happy paying NextBoy’s extra service in comparison to unlimited blocks and whatever other nonsense that comes with “Xtra”. * I don’t and never have been employed by NextBoy, nor was I compensated in anyway for this review. I enjoy there product and service and will continue to be their valued customer, just as they remember who their real customers are. Thank you, Valued Customer ### 5/5 — Best one out there *2024-04-28* I think this app does the best job of providing cool features and even events. You can find more than just hookups if you want that. I’ve made some pretty good friends since joining. ### 5/5 — I like this App more than others. *2024-04-28* The only improvement I suggest - some way to know if someone is single/preferences BEFORE having to open their photo. Like an S for single. M for married (whatever that actually means), E for engaged (ect.) in the corner of the main photo. T for top, V for veretile, O for oral only. OT for oral top. Lord.. how much am I getting paid for this? ? ### 5/5 — Gast *2024-04-12, version 9.6.40* Up ### 1/5 — Don’t believe all the ‘likes’ *2024-03-31, version 9.6.40* I have received several ‘likes’ after signing in. Because the app requires subscription to access the likes, I really don’t think they’re legitimate. Be advised. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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, version 9.6.87* 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. ### 1/5 — App sucks .! *2026-04-06, version 9.6.87* Don’t waste your time it’s a money grabber app ### 1/5 — Bots bots bots *2026-03-06, version 9.6.87* More fake accounts than people ### 1/5 — App keeps freezing *2025-12-02, version 9.6.80* Shows likes constantly, but never talk to anyone’s app keep freezing and every time I launch it, it says app update available and then when I go to the App Store, it doesn’t have an option to update. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-08-20, version 9.6.80* This app is just as bad as Grindr! ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-03-26, version 9.6.77* This is a scam do not pay, contact e-mail is fake. The whole website is fake ### 1/5 — awful *2025-03-04, version 9.6.76* Dosen't work unless you pay. ### 1/5 — Fake *2024-09-12, version 9.6.58* I’m not paying to read messages ### 1/5 — DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY *2024-06-10, version 9.6.55* This app is a complete waste of time and money. You have to spend money to see who likes you. Its full of nothing but fake profiles. I contacted the owners and asked for a refund but got no response. THIS APP NEEDS TO BE TAKEN DOWN IMMEDIATELY 😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ❤️❤️ *2025-06-26, version 9.6.80* 🌹 ### 5/5 — Joseph *2025-01-19, version 9.6.63* I love it ### 5/5 — Super *2024-11-30* So nice ### 5/5 — A Great Social Networking App for Gay Men *2024-05-27* I love NextBoy!
