### 1/5 — Lame

*2020-05-16, version 1.1*

I left the app open for over 24 hours and never chatting with 1 person ... it just said waiting for a friend...Lame app

### 2/5 — Only worked once.

*2020-03-19, version 1.1*

The very first time I opened this app - it worked great! Matched and chatted for a little bit. Didn’t go on the app for about two weeks, came back and after sitting for 5-10m no matches. I said ok maybe it’s the time, I try Saturday afternoon, same thing. It has been the same way for about 2 weeks now. We are in a quarantine! This is the perfect time for this app! But it doesn’t work. Sad!

### 5/5 — Nice chat app

*2019-12-19, version 1.0*

Functional and fun chat app! Great features!
