Worst app ever seen

Around one hour as I signed in, the app kicked me out and I could not log in anymore apparently because of technical issues. I researched a little bit and noticed that this happened to a bunch of people as well. The scariest part is, that my profile is probably still visible. So keep distance if you like to have control over your privacy. Furthermore the app is as superficial as other dating apps as well. I got catfished with the promise that it is more based on christian values than other apps. So it is a waste of time.

So please keep distance.

Annoying bug with the algorithm

Can we please for the LOVE OF GOD fix the preference filters?! I love how it blatantly ignores your location and distance preference and shows you people hundreds of miles away.

“Christian dating app” is SO bad. Other “non-christian” dating apps do way better. Full of scammers.

This app is full of scammers. And they constantly show me people way outside of the parameters I’ve given.

Save your time and $

So, I joined 3 or 4 days ago. I had a few matches pressuring to communicate via other apps, so for fun I decided to reverse image search some of my matches. Imagine my shock and surprise, when I found the images were stolen from someone on insta. The actually person happened to be gay, recently married of his partner of 3 years, and live in Zurich. Coincidentally, Upward emailed stating “look at these matches” and that profile was one of the people featured only his location was the capital of Ethiopia, even though on app and per the scammer he was from Italy but was living in Ca.

In fact, of the 15 people I matched with, 10 were scammers. I easily found the pictures that were stolen from profiles on Instagram that did not belong to the person on the app. I thought if the person was verified that it may help eliminate face profiles; I was wrong about that too.

lol, 2 different profiles on upward (Frank and Adam) had both stollen picture from the same insta profile of someone from Malaga, Spain. Although, Frank said he was from Italy and Adam said Cardiff.

Additionally, I’ve had people match with me and the app will say they are 20+ miles away but they list where they live in their bio and some are 400-600 miles away. So, the distance isn’t trustworthy either.

Honestly, don’t waste your money unless you are willing to reverse image search and verify info.
