Not worth your money

For you to message someone you have to have a subscription. Once you get a subscription you are only allowed to message one person three times before they ask you to buy more gems.

Looks good but expensive to keep buying gems just to talk to someone. Specially when your paying monthly subscription

Expensive

It’s all to expensive. You pay a monthly fee then you have to buy sapphires to send messages.
