Then it will not let me delete my account. Now my pictures and information is just there. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-01-22* Not only do you have to pay money to have access to this app it then charges you daily to text someone and it definitely feels like they just stealing your money. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-01-19* Download the app got a few matches and started having a conversation with one of them and as I was about have a talk about a date the app wanted me to pay $5.99 to continue using the app did that and then wanted me to pay extra to talk to someone ### 1/5 — Delete this app *2024-01-19* It was going good until it said 5.99 and it told me to unlock all these crazy features that I didn’t want what made this app they can kill their self ### 1/5 — Yikes 😬 *2024-01-14* To be fair, I actually have this app a legitimate shot the free way. I got added by a bot and knew instantly. But I was honestly intrigued to see how the subscription was that everyone was talking abt in these comments. Sure enough, I asked this bot for their “number” (bc we all know they don’t really have one) and I got hit with the subscription. I can now no longer access the app in the slightest. ### 1/5 — Complete scam *2024-01-12* Don’t download it’s just a complete scam cant even use the regular features of a dating/meeting app you have to pay and there’s no guarantee they aren’t bots better off stayin on tinder or something else with all the bot at least you can use regular feature and get matches on those apps. ### 1/5 — Warning *2024-01-12* This is a scam they still take money out even after cancellation ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied customer *2024-01-10* I downloaded the app and started getting msgs immediately witch was a red flag. The ppl seemed real then all of a sudden o couldn’t msg anymore with paying 5.99 so I paid it and get this. I still can’t even msg anyone back. App is total scam and women profiles are most likely fake as wee ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-01-09* This app is a scam. It lets you talk for free, for the first few messages, then it’s wants to charge you 5.99to receive and send messages , I can’t remember the name of the purchase. But on my purchase history it was named 10 coins not the name it called the purchase on the app. Then it wants to charge you a membership ship fee on top of the 5.99. WTH. This app is a scam and should be shut down ### 1/5 — Be aware it’s a scam *2024-01-08* Be careful they will access your personal information through your phone and they will steal your identity ## Frequently asked questions about SODA ### What does SODA do?
