### 1/5 — Data, money, 0 ROI

*2026-08-23, version 1.26.0*

This app requires $$ in order to send likes or be able to match with people. They require you to give crazy amounts of information including your entire contact list. I’ve never had a match, in comparison to other apps where I don’t have that problem. It also doesn’t allow filtering for anything location within Canada - only the entire country 😐

### 4/5 — Great idea, more LGBT please!

*2026-08-21, version 1.26.0*

Really love this concept - especially the Hyrox integration! It makes me excited to match with people who value fitness and other activities the way I do.

4 stars instead of 5 because I wish there were more LGBT people on the app, there aren’t a lot of people available for me to match with who are in a local radius. I’m sure this will improve as the app grows!

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-08-18, version 1.26.0*

Won’t even let you in without allowing full access to your contact list.

### 1/5 — Can’t use

*2026-08-16, version 1.26.0*

Have been waiting for profile verification that can take “up to two weeks for two months.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-08-08, version 1.25.0*

Requires full access to your entire contact list just to verify your profile and continue. Limited contact access isn’t accepted. Completely unnecessary and a terrible privacy trade-off for a dating app. Deleted immediately.

### 3/5 — Verify me plzzz

*2026-08-06, version 1.25.0*

What does a Latino boy gotta do to get verified by yall????

### 5/5 — Great Idea

*2026-08-02, version 1.25.0*

SURF is smart, tapping into the WSL, Hyrox. Having like minded people is the best idea ever. Having safety is key within their human verification process.

### 5/5 — Surf boy of my dreams

*2026-08-02, version 1.25.0*

Found my boarder boy forever!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-08-02, version 1.25.0*

This app has been so helpful in meeting new people. I love that I can meet guys with similar interests like surfing and stuff around my area. Definitely will find someone for me on this app!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-02, version 1.25.0*

Great to connect with like minded peeps that wanna surf. I live in HB let's go!
