User reviews

RIP off

I’d give this a zero if I could, you have to pay for everything, even to send messages. Money to subscribe and then more money to send a message. Girls just want you to continue sending them messages on the app. Avoid like the plague

The most boring app ever

Paying just to talk with people feck off lol

Lies

The app says unlimited chats with ‘regular’ members too bad all of them are ‘popular’ members and you get charged just to chat with them subscription or not. It’s how they get you to pay money without any real benefits besides seeing who likes you, and when your messages are read. These seem like paid actors to funnel money into this scam read my review don’t be like me. They are literally just stealing peoples money and have these reviews are by their actors using the app don’t trust them. It’s false advertising and suing crossed my mind. Plus let’s not mention that the subscription it 30$ and in the Apple store they say it’s for 3 months but it takes you into the app to make the purchase and you only get a single month

Not worth it

Subcription gives you nothing, have to pay extra for messaging. It can easily add up to 100's of dollars.

It’s not my location the show
