User reviews

best app

amazing

never accepted after years

I’m young, attractive, and professional. I’m a professional model and actress for crying out loud, among having a Master’s degree. I have put in multiple referrals and after YEARS I have still not been accepted. It’s ridiculous.

No one responds on this app

UI is better than other apps especially with the explore mode. Problem is the lack of volume of matches compared to other apps. Have yet to have a single conversation on this one and feel ripped off.

Tinder but worse, waste of time and money in Aus

This is essentially an overpriced version of tinder, people only want to be seen and have their ego stroked. Some good looking people, but mostly from other countries - pointless in Aus. Didn’t see even one profile with any substance, low effort, seems like it’s mostly for hook ups. I’m a 33yo female. Been on it almost a month and haven’t matched with a single person. Waste of $30, half the profiles are on hinge anyway. Feeld is still the best option

Racist and discriminatory app

I’m a Black woman, and I was waitlisted for over a year despite having a public Instagram, an established career, interests, and referrals. I eventually had a white friend sign up, and she was approved in less than 24 hours despite having a private account, no bio, and around 100 followers.

I can’t speak for every Black applicant, but the contrast was hard to ignore. When two people with such different profiles receive completely different outcomes, it raises legitimate questions about how applicants are being evaluated and whether race plays a role in the selection process.

Yes, there are Black people on the app, but they’re the minority. My experience, combined with the inconsistency in who gets approved, makes it difficult not to question whether certain demographics are being preferentially selected.

If an app has a particular demographic it wants to cultivate, I’d rather they be transparent about that than leave people wondering why they continue to be waitlisted despite seemingly meeting the criteria.
