### 5/5 — Block button doesn’t work properly.

*2024-10-29*

Every time I try to block someone, they reappear as unblocked. How long will it take to get that fixed? Also can you make it to where they can’t see your page once you block them? Maybe even have it to where only your followers can see your page and starters?

Also, I would like the option of removing people that follow you when you’ve blocked them or just want them out of your follower list.

Please and thank you in advance! ✨

### 1/5 — Change ur app.

*2024-10-19*

Its so bad. There are pesos zoos and people who sext too much u need to make this a safe area to roleplay not sext and groom people.

### 2/5 — No code

*2024-10-02*

I’ve not received a sign in code

### 1/5 — Please help!!!

*2024-10-02*

I’m trying to get my account back it has kicked me off and is not sending me emails when I try to create a new account. I’ve never had this problem but it will not work at all. I’ve spent so long trying to log in but every time I do it just remains on the home page and won’t let me into my account. Please help!!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2024-09-05*

Hey guys, C.E.O here. This app is honestly it’s own subculture at this point and it’s incredible. Thank you Laser Nite and Brian Tom for providing us with the only good roleplay exclusive application the world will ever need. The only thing I ask you add is more moderators. Specifically me. Please make me a moderator. Please. Please.

### 2/5 — Once in a blue moon

*2024-09-04*

Two stars only because every once in a while you might actually meet someone worthwhile who you really enjoy writing with, but the majority of people in the app are probably people you won’t want to associate with. Lots of creeps asking for young girls or boys. It’s disturbing. Not sure how the creator of this app justifies trying to charge people $6 for premium LOL . Funniest thing about it. What are you offering? It’s nuts. I guess since not enough people would bother, they have to over charge for the few people that would pay for whatever reason.

### 1/5 — All pedophiles on this app

*2024-08-01*

All i’ve found is scammers, pedophiles, and zoophiles on this app. 

Update your moderation or don’t have an app, period.

Full of mostly disgusting sick people wanting to rp disgusting topics.

On top of that, any chat you write privately to someone is apparently not so private, as in the first day of using this app it glitched and I read a chat I have never seen between two strangers sexting.

### 1/5 — Needs to be 5 stars

*2024-05-19*

Needs to be 5 stars for me to install this again to much predators bots and scammers get rid of them and I will join this rp app again

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2024-03-25*

This is my second review, I’ve recently updated this is app and after a while say 10-20 messages between however many rps I have going on the app just crashes and it’s gotten worse with the blank screen saying I have messages when it’s just coming up as profile empty

### 3/5 — Deleting messages

*2024-03-21*

I think the app is great but you should be able to delete messages in case to send a message on a roleplay before it’s finished
