Hardly anything goes through. Harder to connect with alike people ### 3/5 — обнова *2026-08-11, version 5.40.1* обнова просто ужас верните все назад не удобно человек не лайкает ужас просто ### 2/5 — Bio issues *2026-08-10, version 5.40.1* The censorship is so bad when it comes to writing a bio. So many innocuous words are flagged as explicit so it makes making a bio difficult. ### 3/5 — Not impressed with service *2026-08-09, version 5.40.1* It sucks when the app deletes your conversation and you can’t recover or find your friend your chatting with ### 1/5 — Sadly, the app has gone downhill *2026-08-05, version 5.40.1* Its really sad to say it, but before now this app used to have so much ACTUAL active people, i even bought the premium version for a year ( which i dont do that with any other app unless its worth it ), but the constant major updates this app did absolutely ruined it, it lost its people, its getting worse and worse, it used to be amazing, but sadly right now im deleting it, and idc about my subscription anymore …… ### 1/5 — bio *2026-08-04, version 5.40.1* no matter how many times i write a bio it’s removed, get rid of your ai monitoring. it’s ruining the app ### 3/5 — хочу общаться с девушками *2026-08-01, version 5.40.1* я девушка и хочу общаться с девушками,их и так там мало, так еще и опция выбора пола стала платной. мне написывает куча парней, хотя я блин написала, что парни не интересуют! и когда стоит «любой пол», то мне девушки не попадаются совсем! больше не вижу смысла там сидеть, раньше у меня выбор пола был бесплатным ### 1/5 — Feedback *2026-08-01, version 5.40.1* I really miss the old layout of the app. New changes really suck👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — The verification is a joke. *2026-07-28, version 5.40.1* I’m sorry but this WHOLE app is a joke the verification system is easy to bypass and make it a harmful app for minors ### 1/5 — Не открывается после последнего обновления *2026-07-28, version 5.40.1* После обновления перестал заходить ### 1/5 — App is bad *2026-07-27, version 5.40.1* Revert the updates you have have been doing, it messed up the app tremendously ### 1/5 — Too many bugs *2026-07-26, version 5.40.1* Flags perfectly normal content as explicit constantly ### 1/5 — Alr app but ‘dumb’/unnecessary censoring *2026-07-24, version 5.40.1* Understandable that there’s certain things that you can’t put in bio for certain reasons, but let’s be honest you can’t even call something “stupid” or even swear in your bio without having to change it 20 times for “explicit content” make it make sense ### 4/5 — Support *2026-07-23, version 5.40.1* I got banned for ten years for child abuse for no particular reason and called the moderators a lot of unsavory names. They unbanned me pretty quickly and apologized for the inconvenience. Pretty kewl of them. I still would like to cuss in my bio but all is well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — At this point just remove it *2026-08-28, version 5.40.1* I like the idea of the moderation system but it should probably be removed until it actually works. I just spent like 15 minutes on an entirely clean bio; It would let one sentence pass, then wouldnt let it pass if you added more detailed words; for example “I like games” is allowed and not “I like gaming and”, or so you would think? right? Until “I like games” is suddenly not allowed and only “I like gaming” works, until neither is allowed and then you try to put the abbreviation of your state, and it works. Until you try to add a period and then thats not allowed. Its genuinely just a terrible system right now that prevents any meaningful bio. In attempting to remove predators and perverts this only makes them more prevalent as now you have to merely gamble on if a person is genuine or if they just have a terribly written bio. ### 1/5 — Take it down *2026-08-22, version 5.40.1* I can’t talk to anyone on this delete the app and create a new one for the love of god get rid of it ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-08-17, version 5.40.1* Females are locked behind a paywall, they never show up in the standard search and it feels as if they are forcing you to pay to talk to them ### 1/5 — Бан ни за что *2026-08-16, version 5.40.1* Отвратительное приложение ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-15, version 5.40.1* This app is full of horny people who only want girls and will shove away any men that they meet because they’re just so lonely and even homophobic and even the girls will not get near them cause the men on that app don’t know how to behave😬 ### 1/5 — Creepy *2026-08-11, version 5.40.1* People on here are mainly predators seeking young people. I had a conversation about Radiohead and the smiths with this one guy and he started getting obsessive and like a stalker. App is riddled with predators and definitely not safe for any age ### 1/5 — Take it back. *2026-08-10, version 5.40.1* Y’all know what people are on here for, were grown adults let us type what we want lol. Otherwise this app sucks and thats all I hear when I download this is “it’s not what it use to be” and they ain’t wrong at all! ### 1/5 — The bio restrictions are absurd *2026-08-08, version 5.40.1* I just dont understand why it is so exaggerated.. im literally trying to put my bio as “looking for something honest and genuine. Somebody with a good heart” and im not allowed to put that… i just want to know why..?? Im not writing anything bad but im not allowed to say it.. its an app for meeting people and im not allowed to say i want to find a good person???????? (Update) I TRIED TO PUT MY BIO AS “if you’re a good person we should be friends” AND IT REMOVED MY BIO ARE WE SERIOUS????????????? ### 1/5 — Total Scam *2026-08-07, version 5.40.1* I paid for a week sub and it never activated. ### 1/5 — Annoyed *2026-08-06, version 5.40.1* Stop changing the layout and ease up on the bio restrictions. Maybe I’ll add some stars then ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Stands alone! *2026-08-21, version 5.40.1* Stands alone at the top in its category. It serves its purpose and always delivers! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-06, version 5.40.1* Good ### 5/5 — Kayla *2026-08-04, version 5.40.1* Very sweet app and you’re going to meet a lot people there ### 5/5 — Too Good n I’m happy *2026-08-01, version 5.40.1* Works properly n i’m so happy New update is good n everyone real now here ### 5/5 — Feedback *2026-07-07* When’s the next update coming? **Developer response:** Hey there!
