And even that’s not working anymore. It’s incredibly inconvenient & annoying considering the whole purpose of the app is to message people. And if it wasn’t for already chatting with people, I would’ve deleted it permanently. ### 3/5 — So much clutter *2026-09-06, version 2.124.0* It would be nice to have a search bar for certain characters and see which types your friends on the app voted for ### 2/5 — fix ur app bro sometimes *2026-08-20, version 2.121.0* can you people fix ur app bro sometimes i can’t even click stuff i leave and come back and it still doesn’t let me click stuff ### 3/5 — Fix all your bugs *2026-08-20, version 2.121.0* Holy cow I’ve never seen so many bugs in an app. ### 4/5 — Meh *2026-08-16, version 2.121.0* It makes it easier to meet people but it’s really annoying when it sends a message through my account to people I don’t know, I don’t care if it’s cuz I liked their profile I don’t like it I wish we could just turn it off, I think the message like mentions vibes or something and it’s weird. Just fix it I doubt it’s that hard ### 4/5 — Awesome sauce *2026-08-12, version 2.120.1* Honestly I think this app is great if you wanna meet people that u wanna connect with, especially if you’re in ur teens cuz i am and I really love this app ### 4/5 — Fun app *2026-08-09, version 2.120.1* This is a fun app with personality psychology of tv shows and media. A good place to discover your type. ### 3/5 — I miss the GCs *2026-08-07, version 2.120.1* I’ve made many great friends through this app due to the group chat feature. maybe i’m stupid but i believe it’s been removed and I miss it. I know you can still have one on one conversation but the group chats were way more enjoyable to me and it felt easier to make friends that way ### 3/5 — Its good but has its issues *2026-08-06, version 2.120.1* The verification is too frequent and rather than help people who may need friends due to looks and anxiety irl it makes them less able to get friends because of facial looks. The verification is also very buggy with slower internet as for me i’ve been stuck on the image of “verifying” for hours. The verification photo should be something at most of once a week as sometimes waiting for verification can even take a full day just for you to need to verify a bit later. In my personal opinion you should be able to find friends that actually match interest that you’re looking for sometimes, for example every 5 people and you can get the profile of someone who have similar interests of want you want in a friend, overall this app is still a very nice way to make friends but i just find the constant verification and buggyness annoying ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-06, version 2.120.0* I met so many people from other countries and nationalities. It’s wild. I got this a year ago and I still am friends will 80% of the people I messaged ### 5/5 — thank you *2026-08-03, version 2.120.0* meeting some of the people here is genuinely healing :3 lowkey saved me from my ideation…. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — yall suck *2026-09-04, version 2.123.0* yall suck ### 1/5 — Restricted for no reason? *2026-09-01, version 2.123.0* I wasn’t using the app for several months and when I re-download to check full character personality analyses it says my account has been restricted. I’m not sure why it could have been restricted since I never used the pointless social features anyways. I tried clicking ok to see the profiles in read only mode but it would not let me use the app further. Seems scammy and suspicious PDB has gone downhill… ### 1/5 — Neglectful administration *2026-08-21, version 2.121.0* This app went from a place of typology discussion to a watered down social network where random men harass women. On top of that, there was a board moderator who groomed a girl and it took years before they did anything about it. Not only this, but there is also many adults who sexualise themselves to minors that goes completely overlooked. Shocking app. Dangerous environment for children. ### 1/5 — не работает *2026-08-19* ошибка forbidden resources **Developer response:** Большое спасибо, что сообщили об этом 🌿 Чтобы мы могли разобраться, что пошло не так, не могли бы вы отправить нам краткое описание проблемы или запись экрана, показывающую, что происходит?

No go away omfg. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-14, version 2.120.1* Just wanted to look at personalities and app wanted me to make an account. Website doesn’t work on mobile ### 1/5 — Finally Free!!!!! *2026-08-13, version 2.120.1* This is possibly the worst app I’ve ever used. You’ve got snotty little brats acting like reading a book makes them smarter than someone with an ACTUAL EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE!!!! Next, you got the guy who married the sheep on his back dissing you on ranks then crying when you call them out. Finally, I deleted this after finding enough sound people to communicate with on Discord and Instagram. These people made me want a lobotomy!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — scary if you’re a woman *2026-08-11, version 2.120.1* i was harassed by men almost immediately after joining. there is 0 moderation or monitoring for incel behavior. why do people treat this like a dating app? ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-08-01, version 2.119.0* I am not here to socialize and spending 10 minutes answering your privacy intrusion questions which I have to restart the app twice because it was bugged out test and use your app I can even write a better app myself! ### 1/5 — Unfair Permanent Restriction *2026-07-26, version 2.119.0* My account has been permanently restricted, and I’ve done nothing wrong. Apparently it said I made some other people uncomfortable, but I’ve never said any inappropriate things to anyone, I hardly even talk to the people in this app, The only times I’ll talk to people on this app is when they compliment me or ask me good questions. I feel like it’s unfair that they permanently close my account without a warning. I really wanna get back onto this app and for it to just restrict me for no reason really ruined my entire mood. Can you please fix this? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-09-08, version 2.124.0* Good ### 5/5 — great *2026-09-06, version 2.123.0* great ### 5/5 — Ur da best *2026-09-05, version 2.123.0* I MADE SOOOOOO MUCH FRIENDS IN ONE DAY🤑🤑🤑 ### 5/5 — 10/10 to meet friends and more *2026-09-04, version 2.123.0* I honestly love PDB so much because it’s one of those apps that I can get on and just spend a lot of time on without getting bored. I really like being able to learn more about my own personality and understand why I think or act certain ways. I also love looking at other people’s personality types and comparing them to mine, especially when it comes to my friends, characters, or people I like. It’s really interesting seeing how different personalities work and how everyone can have completely different ways of thinking. I also like how PDB has a community where people can share their opinions and talk about different personality types because sometimes the discussions are actually really interesting and make me think about things differently. There’s always something new to look at, whether I’m reading about a personality type, looking at someone’s profile, or just scrolling through posts. I feel like PDB is more than just a personality app to me because it’s genuinely fun and it gives me a way to learn more about myself while also having something entertaining to do. I’ve honestly grown to love the app a lot and it’s definitely one of those apps I could see myself using for a long time because there’s always something new to discover. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-09-03, version 2.123.0* Good ### 5/5 — Very nice *2026-09-01, version 2.123.0* Talk to a lot of people you have interests in ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-30, version 2.123.0* Good ### 5/5 — Mt bom *2026-08-25* Amooo esse app ele é super legal e é super divertido pra montar o seu perfil e fazer amgs **Developer response:** 💙🌙 Ficamos muito felizes em saber que você considera o Pdb um app para criar conexões significativas — isso significa muito para nós 🪽 Nosso objetivo sempre foi criar um espaço onde as pessoas possam explorar suas personalidades, se conectar de forma genuína e se sentir seguras sendo quem realmente são 🌳 Se tiver alguma sugestão, fique à vontade para nos escrever em hello@pdb.app 🌿 Obrigado novamente por fazer parte da comunidade Pdb 🫂🌸🌱 ### 5/5 — Ashley *2026-08-19, version 2.121.0* Loving it actually ### 5/5 — Good! *2026-08-09, version 2.120.1* Its really good if youre not shy.
