Spammers

I’m sick of the avalanche of spam. The app is becoming unusable.

Discussion forums gone

Can’t access the discussion forums for the local areas any more. This was the best thing about the website that set it apart from other apps and sites, especially as (perhaps understandably) very few people seem to have any pics on here. Any chance this could be fixed?

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We know the local discussions are an important part of the experience. They aren’t currently available in the app, but we’re continuing to expand the app with more features over time. We really appreciate the suggestion and your support!

Can you catch up from so far behind?

I’m so glad the website migrated off of its old front end, but I’m still mourning the loss of the good search features. This app adds nothing to the regressive experience of the web redesign. I can’t easily locate people into my body type, those with certain like interests, etc. on top of that, I can’t see most profile pics. I get the rules but other apps (Reddit maybe being the most popular example in the App Store, but including direct competitors to SQD) are able to handle this by offering a method to allow imagery via a toggle on the website.

As a long-time paying customer, the website remained a favorite because I could locate people I was interested in. With that gone, with little sign of positive reactivity to feedback or even asking long term users (I created my account 25 years ago!) I’m not sure I can continue to keep my subscription active.

If the app can quickly regrow all the great search, locate, and discussion features it lost in the redesign I’ll happily keep paying. Otherwise it’s time to put this one out to pasture.

Response from developer

We really appreciate the thoughtful feedback and your many years with the product. Robust search filters are available on both the app and website, and we’re continuing to improve the experience and add features. App photo visibility must follow store requirements, but we hear your concerns and value feedback from long time members.

Terrible

Pictures don’t load in grid, poor layout, hard to find profile picture settings. Take a while to get anywhere.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. This isn't the experience we want our users to have. Profile photos should load correctly, and we'd like to investigate. We're also continuing to improve navigation and the overall app experience. Please contact our support team if the issue continues at https://www.sqdating.com/contact-us.html

Love it!

I know the app is still in its early stages but I really like it so far! The interface is smooth and the filters work great! Hope to see a map feature soon

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the great feedback! We're really glad you're enjoying the app and the filters. We have lots of improvements planned, and we appreciate the suggestion about a map feature. Stay tuned, there's more to come!

Can’t get in,

I’ve logged in. I’ve downloaded the app and it’s saying that my information is incorrect. I have saved it and changed my password numerous times. Now when I hit the change password in the email that sent it takes me to their advertising page, which has no place to enter any information. You end up going in circles.

This is not the experience we want our users to have. Login and account activation should be working, so we’d like to investigate what you’re experiencing. Please contact our support team and we’ll be happy to help https://www.sqdating.com/contact-us.html

Just .. terrible

When will you people realise that crippling the features of free accounts also negatively impacts paid users and makes it harder for them to meet guys on here? No wonder everybody’s moving to the competing apps.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We do offer unlimited IM chat so that free and paid members can continue connecting without restrictions. We're always reviewing our features and listening to community feedback as we work to improve the experience for everyone.

Terrible

You can’t login, activation code doesn’t work. The site is the same. Who’s the IT person? They need to be replaced

Response from developer

We understand how frustrating this must be, and this is not the experience we want our users to have. Login and account activation should be working, so we’d like to investigate what you’re experiencing.

VERY BASIC

ROOM 4️⃣ improvement!!!

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback.The first versions of the app focus on core connection features including chat and profiles, while some website features are currently not available. We continue to work on adding new features

Terrible app.

This app should never have been released. There are so many bugs. It doesn’t refresh in a timely manner. Selecting between messages and people online have to select the button multiple times. Lists from viewed by to online or buddies don’t refresh showing what you’re supposed to see. It freezes all the time.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback. This isn’t the experience we want users to have. We’re continuously improving performance and stability, and we’d appreciate the opportunity to investigate these issues further. Please contact our support team with details about your device and app version, https://squirtapp.com/contact-us.html

Missing lots of Features Still

Hope the website features get added… like all of it. The app feels light years behind other apps like grindr and yet the web version is 10X better than all other apps combined! I know the app is still in its early stages soooo I’m hoping to see features get added little by little in the upcoming updates! Maybe start with allowing NSFW pictures. If grindr and scruff can, why can’t squirt?

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The current app focuses on core profile and chat features, while photo visibility follows Apple guidelines. NSFW public photos are not allowed in the apps that are in the app stores, please select a PG tame photo as your app primary photo for it to be visible on the app. We’re actively exploring adding features in future updates.

Pointless

Utterly pointless and an absolute waste of time.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We’re continuing to improve the app and appreciate you giving it a try.

Don’t waste your time.

Pretty useless as a replacement for the website. Most profile pictures don’t show. Definitely not ready for prime time.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The current app focuses on core profile and chat features, while photo visibility follows Apple guidelines. We suggest you select a PG tame photo as your app primary photo for it to be visible on the app. We’re actively exploring adding features in future updates.

Don’t use

Seems heavily linked with my personal details being stolen. Every time I use this app I get logins on all my personal accounts ie Amazon . iCloud , Spotify, all around the world. Belgium. Germany. Liverpool. New York. If I don’t use the app it doesn’t happen

Response from developer

Thanks for raising this concern. We take account security very seriously and are not aware of any issue that would cause access to unrelated services. We’d like to investigate further—please contact our support team with additional details so we can review your experience https://www.sqdating.com/contact-us.html.

Not Happy

I thought I’d try a different app, the initial set up was easy. However now it’s locked me out over verifying my age and I can’t log in or when I try to come to the app
Store like it suggest I can’t find support???

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, we had a period of maintenance on May 26th which may have caused you gettting this error by mistake, we apologize and you should be able to connect now with no errors, if you need any assistance please contact https://www.sqdating.com/contact-us.html

So bad

This app is so clunky the chat feature hardly ever works and it's missing so much that the site offers just don't bother, maybe they'll get it right in time but for now it's a waste of time using it

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The current app focuses on core profile and chat features, while photo visibility follows Apple guidelines. We’re actively exploring adding features in future updates. Video Chat is rolling out today in the app!

Dumb app

So slow . Doesnt load properly

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The app should load smoothly, so this isn’t the experience we want users to have. Please make sure you’re on the latest version, and if the issue continues, contact our support team so we can help investigate at https://www.sqdating.com/contact-us.html

Pictures are hidden

App works great just wish I’d be able to see pics :(

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback, glad to hear the app is working well for you! Some profile photos are intentionally restricted due to privacy, verification, moderation settings, and App Store guidelines. We’re encouraging more users to share public photos to help improve the experience.

3rd Party Login Access

"SQ-Dating" Wants to Use
"authentication.core-
backend.com" to Sign In

This allows the app and website to share information about you.

Do NOT trust 3rd party sites to access login information.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. The sign-in prompt you’re seeing is part of our secure authentication system used to safely connect the app and website experience. User credentials are handled securely, and we do not share login information with unrelated third parties.

Waste of time

Rubbish

Response from developer
