I’ve got 6 likes after having the app for about a week and I’ve been active on it every single day and yet haven’t managed to match or come across any of them?? Never had this issue with any other app either. ### 1/5 — Pretenders *2026-01-25, version 1.42.1* This guys are complete liars. I paid for premium and they wouldn’t give me my money back. Despite the fact they kept matching me with people from the US (I live in Sydney). Do not put up with any email/message from ‘I Johnston’ ### 1/5 — Save ur time *2026-01-25, version 1.42.1* It’s just another tindr monitizing everything and anything ud need to actually connect with people ### 2/5 — The app is good but it needs more people *2026-01-25, version 1.42.1* It is good but there not enough people near me it’s not their fault because the app is new ### 1/5 — Locations of users *2026-01-23, version 1.42.1* Every single person I’ve looked at is in a different state. How am I supposed to meet anyone if they aren’t even in the same state as me. Dumb asf ### 1/5 — Remove the “ blank is a top user” *2026-01-21, version 1.42.1* I really enjoy the apps concept. But making people pay to swipe yes on attractive people now that’s wild in if you’re hunting in the 2 to 4 range then I think this app is great for you anything else and you may as well be stuck paying the subscription fee. ### 2/5 — Too new/no development *2026-01-19, version 1.42.1* No way to search by area. Closest matches are at least fifty miles away. Seeing a profile that is even in the same state is slim. I think I’ve see maybe five out of hundreds that were from my state. You have to post a new picture every day to see profiles. For days now I’ve been getting “you’re picky” pop ups because I guess I have exhausted all potential profiles. Paid 30 for a new year’s sale on a year membership and you can’t do really anything with it anyway. Like a Temu version of Tinder. ### 1/5 — No location control on free *2026-01-18, version 1.42.1* Canada is too big to not have distance filters. Bye. ### 1/5 — No one in same state *2026-01-12, version 1.42.1* Only shows people out of state. ### 2/5 — Great concept, terrible execution *2026-01-11, version 1.42.0* This app shows promise but what is the use of filtering out fake profiles if all your potential matches are 500+ miles away. Its understandable RAWs model is if you want to view matches close to you, then pay to view your likes. I would put this app slightly below average as it lures you into a false sense of reality just as a catfish profile does. They both get your hopes up for nearly an unreachable or unrealistic chance. ### 1/5 — Cool-ish but didn’t get far *2026-01-09, version 1.42.0* I logged in, set up my profile and everything and then it let me “sync” capability. Did that, and it cut me back to the screen I saw when I booted the app. I put my phone number in and apparently it’s invalid? So now I can’t get back into the app and I managed to like one profile before I’m booted. ### 1/5 — useless, everyone is 1000 miles away *2026-01-07, version 1.42.0* there is no range setting and everyone I am swiping on is between 500 and 2000 miles away. I live near 2 major cities. The selfie concept is good though. Get to see women with no filters and no makeup... too bad everyone is far away. No point in talking to anyone. Dead on Arrival app. ### 1/5 — Location *2026-01-06, version 1.42.0* No way to filter by location makes this app useless. Whats The point being matched with people half the planet away. Also many foreigners hacking location to populated cities in hopes of getting Visa. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-01-04, version 1.41.0* Worst dating app I have ever used. ### 1/5 — Need to pay to do anything. *2025-12-30, version 1.41.0* Don’t waste your time downloading. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Location *2026-04-11, version 1.44.0* No point of using this app without location filter. ### 1/5 — Raw Review *2026-04-10, version 1.44.0* App sucks subscription is not worth it could they matched with Many individuals and to boost profile it’s costed more money on top of subscription not worth the time or money ### 1/5 — No locals & Bot accounts *2026-03-29, version 1.44.0* Very disappointing. Wants your location so you can be matched with locals, but 90% of the accounts displayed where scattered across the US. Also multiple “Girl” accounts with different names but the same pictures. Waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Will steal your money - scam *2026-02-26, version 1.44.0* Received a free membership trial, and cancelled and they still charged me THREE times totalling $75 ### 1/5 — Impossible to find someone within 100 miles *2026-02-11, version 1.44.0* Every person that comes up on the app is across the country. no im not kidding. i live in MA and i got people all the way on the west coast. closest person shown on my feed was in Maine which is 8 hours away from me. Such a useless app. ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-02-11, version 1.44.0* I don’t know why it shows me people from other states it hasn’t shown me anyone that is close to me at all if this changes I would change the rating but as of now it’s 1 star for me ### 1/5 — Pointless *2026-02-01, version 1.42.2* Will just show you people from 200 miles away as you can not set a distance, pretty pointless if you ask me unless ur looking for a penpal ### 1/5 — Can’t not adjust location radius *2026-01-31, version 1.42.2* Seeing people from all over the US. No local people and won’t let adjust it! Don’t waste your money on this !!!! ### 1/5 — Save ur time *2026-01-29, version 1.42.1* It’s just another tindr monitizing everything and anything ud need to actually connect with people. UD: devs can reply saying my review is inaccurate as much as they want but it only takes a user 5 minutes to see my review is accurate. ### 1/5 — Concept vs Actual *2026-01-27, version 1.42.1* The concept of being in the now is great. The actual use of the app is garbage. Filters not working, paying to be told I’m “picky”. Not worth it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-02-14, version 1.44.0* I couldn’t believe the amount of well rounded and fun the people on here are. Such a silly new take on meeting people and people you’ll meet!! ### 5/5 — Just like to meet someone who loves me and I can love her *2026-01-30, version 1.42.1* I’m looking for a beautiful woman who is willing to give me a chance ### 5/5 — Decca *2026-01-11, version 1.42.0* Just wish I had atleast like 10 swipes instead of one ahaha ### 5/5 — Huge potential *2025-12-29, version 1.41.0* Once this app gets more popular it’ll be better and show more people in you’re area. Daily photos great way of keeping profiles authentic. No bot accounts like the larger dating apps. A must try ### 5/5 — Very Impressive App *2025-12-12, version 1.40.0* Everything from the interface to the call quality shows real attention to detail. The app is reliable, fast, and surprisingly fun to use. Highly recọmmended for anyone looking for a high-quality video chat platform. ### 5/5 — Fast *2025-12-11, version 1.40.0* Useful ### 5/5 — AWESOME Dating App! *2025-11-13, version 1.36.1* This app is simply awesome! ### 5/5 — Whoa *2025-11-13, version 1.36.0* Totally ### 5/5 — I’m *2025-10-25, version 1.34.5* B GDP ### 5/5 — Rating 5 stars just so you’ll see it *2025-10-08, version 1.34.2* Thank you RAW team for recommending me people that live 500 miles away from me, like that’s useful information. Everything besides that monumental aspect of the app, you’ve got a good thing going. Just please for the love of God allow me to sort by distance --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
