Found other real people though a lot more compared to other apps. The big glitch rn though is that my chat list of “Friends” is invisible. No one shows up after I send a message yet I’m still getting notifications from them. Update your app soon if you see this, your last one screwed something up and I got a newest iPhone. **Developer response:** Hello CrescentSnake, Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Thanks for using Otakutie! ### 2/5 — Fake people *2024-05-24* This app is really just a russian roulette between either finding someone real and talking and vibing with them. Or talking and chatting with someone who is clearly just a bot trying to get info out of you. This makes it impossible to meet people on the app since you have to guess whether the person is real or just a scammer/bot trying to get your personal info. I have a bunch of requests on the app, but majority of the time I just think its just a bot. So I ignore basically all of them. ### 3/5 — Missing a lot of potential *2024-05-23* It works similar to a dating app wear you swipe through peoples profiles and choose who you want to text. I was hoping for more features to be added to the app like group chats to discuss your favorite anime’s and games with people or even the option to FaceTime or call people since I’m not good at texting and also more genres like pretty cure or magical girl anime’s which all they seem to have are madoka magica and sailor moon when it comes to those categories and as for every other category they only mainly have mainstream anime’s to choose from not any early 2000’s even when it comes to picking a character to kin the selection is very scarce which is disappointing as well. Also I don’t like the fact that you need to use diamonds just to view something that someone labeled as a “special request message” when most of the time they literally just say “hi” and than you wasted 50 diamonds for no reason. It’s just a very unnecessary feature to ad to a social app in my opinion and it’s good for what it is but can definitely be a lot better. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2024-05-08* This app started off really well but quickly there were a lot of accounts that people were using to either try and sell nudes or become someone’s sugar mama. Had to delete the app ### 3/5 — Great Idea - Terrible execution *2024-05-06* The idea is great. But the app needs to do something with the bots, I’m not joking most of the messages I got where from bots to add them on discord or give them my number, also an option to disable the music would be truly appreciated! ### 2/5 — Kinda meh. *2024-04-16* This app needs work. Specifically a place to write your own bio, but what I’d give to meet the person who made the call that they should sort by country and city rather than country, state and city. You better believe there are 50 springfields and Middletowns in the USA… but which one is the person you wanna talk to from ? Huh? You can’t tell without potentially wasting everyone’s time! And also be able to sort by closest - I don’t think there’s a sort feature at all… ### 2/5 — Error while making profile *2024-02-29* Whenever I make a profile it just has an error saying ‘favouritemangasids’ is required ### 2/5 — Can’t even login *2024-02-29* I’m sure this app has potential , downloaded it out of curiosity. After setting up my profile , when I press “join the world” the same error message shows up. “favouritemangasids is required”. No clue what that is, not an option nor an app so explain??? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Eww *2024-07-29* Good potential but had fake accounts trying to scam/black mail you ### 1/5 — Disappearing messages *2024-06-13* I like the app and think it’s a great idea, however your messages between you and your friends will disappear. Until this gets fixed I can’t in good conscience recommend this app. If they can get this fixed, then it’ll be an easy 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Will not be downloading until more is added. *2024-06-01* I went into this app excited to make friends and stuff but quickly realized it has a very low amount of anime and characters. I could not find any anime i liked and no character i did. This is also just not accurate with people you get. Someone will have nothing in common with you and they’ll show up. I wish that apps like this would show older and less popular anime’s because it’s just showing laziness. (I was looking for black butler and characters from it.) ### 1/5 — Beware of scammers *2024-05-25* Okay, this is embarrassing to admit, there was a woman that “liked” me and she had me give her my ig no big deal right? I was wrong she then made an edited photo saying that i had kidnapped a 5 year old child, and they edited inappropriate photos onto my ig. She then forced me to pay her 50 dollars in order to not post it. Do not and I mean DO NOT download this app. ### 1/5 — Don’t not get this app *2024-05-25* I have joined it to talk to other people and mainly get new anime/manhwa to read and watch and instead get scammed and someone is mainly scamming people on apps which is sad and disgusting so watch out people and don’t download load it and just watch out ### 1/5 — Full of scammers and bad matching *2024-05-19* 7 out of every 8 accounts you swipe past are just a single picture of an attractive woman with the interests all starting with A or a number since they didn’t have to scroll too far down to pick something just so they could setup an account. They message you and immediately ask for you phone number or discord account, and then chat for a few minutes before launching into a copy-pasted proposition for you to become their sugar-baby, and asking for your PayPal info so they can “send you” some money. Also, default settings set me to 24-30 and within the same country. But I regularly got people outside that age range. I’ve only gotten a couple foreign accounts, but also, it only tells you the city name and country flag of the person, so for a nation as big as the UStunless it’s a more well known city, I have no idea where some of these people are from and if they’re even local to me. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-05-15* It honestly amazes me how many bots this app has. Not even 5 minutes after making an account I already have 2 profiles dming me asking me to move to discord or text. I shouldn’t be shocked as this app was promoted to me through Snapchat, and almost every app from there is garbage. Anyways, don’t spend a dime, use literally any other friendship or dating app ### 1/5 — Error message pop up *2024-03-14* Doesn’t let me access the app but shows requests and notifications still for messages ### 1/5 — Caant finish signing in progress cus of app *2024-02-29* Says to select a favouritemagasids what you can’t select at the moment very bad can’t use it the app as it’s during the signing in process ### 2/5 — This app is ok *2024-06-26* The app is decent, but it takes too many gems and they have no way of earning them by watching ads or anything, the anime select they give for your profile is really small too, my top 10 favorite anime weren’t even on the list, and I went through most of the manga I read and only 4 were on there, most of the people it shows r way older than me too, it’s an ok app but it really needs some updates. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app for anime friends! *2024-11-29* I love how you can make your profile and music and spin the wheel to get chances and it’s nice and fun and cool I can’t believe I used tinder this app is so awesome tell your gaming friends!!! ### 5/5 — I thought it was a bot *2024-05-29* I was talking to one like an idiot and i gave them my instagram and then they HACKED my account threatening to send inappropriate pictures to everyone in my dms if i didnt send them money So I deleted my account DO NOT GET ### 5/5 — Needs improvements but cool app *2024-05-06* Needs improvements but cool app, I payed for the membership 2 times cuss the 2st time didn’t go through and still payed twice and still didn’t get my benefits so I was really upset but aside from that I think this app is cool and has a lot of room for growth ### 5/5 — 10/10 would dl again *2024-05-05* This app has been a tremendous source of entertainment because about 50% of people I interact with, are scammers who want me to be their sugar baby. So, in response, I mess with them for hours before blocking them. To be honest this app is a great training system for cybersecurity, but for meeting people, not really, since the authentication is kinda useless and it doesn’t seem like many folks are really real. ### 5/5 — Good app *2024-05-02* Would definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Verification. *2024-04-30* Please add the option to use the back camera for the verification. The screen part on my phone is cracked on the front so the front camera is blurry so i cant verify myself. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-04-15* This app is amazing!!! I have made so many new friend that I can talk to about anime and they understand what I’m saying. 10/10 would recommend. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-04-12* This is a great app to meet people with similar interests. It presents them upfront and makes getting into conversations easier. The one small complaint I have is for the location… it’s not right. It has my country, my state/city is wrong though **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you so much for the feedback! We appreciate it and are looking to improve our location services. :) ### 4/5 — Good concept *2024-08-06* I think there’s a lot more bots/spammers/scammers on the app than one may expect. So far I managed to only find one person to be a human that responded to me appropriately. You guys should work on boosting the security. Otherwise, I like this simplified yet unique take on the social dating app format. Thank you! ### 4/5 — It’s Okay… but… *2024-05-05* I think it’s a great idea to talk to people from around the world about anime and manga and other things, but a few things need to be added. First of all, a proper bio section for our profiles and the ability to use any picture we want for profile photos. I think these small changes would be beneficial to your app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
