It’s annoying having to scroll through all the time ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-31, version 11.27.0* The app it’s full of scammers 🫩 ### 1/5 — all scammers *2026-07-29, version 11.27.0* verification is a joke ### 2/5 — Ai is infuriating *2026-07-28, version 11.27.0* Decent app but the AI notifications are relentless ### 1/5 — Clunky Ripoff *2026-07-19, version 11.27.0* Used the free trial. I disliked the app so I cancelled and deleted. Then they still charged me. Found the app to be unintuitive and mostly just AI trying to “chat” with you. It picks out popular keywords and ignores others that provide useful information. Beyond shady billing and ripping people off, the app doesn’t provide any decent matches with people you might actually talk to. Neat graphics, liked the color scheme and it tried something different so I gave it an extra star. ### 2/5 — have to pay. why such good reviews???? *2026-07-19, version 11.27.0* why does this have so many good reviews ? u have to pay to do anything bruh just put some ads so i could see like 5 ppl who like me every hour bro its 2026 i cant pay for every single thing i come into contact with ### 1/5 — A complete scam/waste of time *2026-07-15, version 11.27.0* Whatever you do, it is highly encouraged that one does not purchase any of their ‘premium options’ suckered me into a 39.99$ boondoggle. Why? You know all those likes you accumulated ? You can only go back one week of liked…. So the direct message option also is also tethered to the recent likes too, and I cannot use them on previous people of interest to make good use of those messages !!!! ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-07-14, version 11.27.0* It’s way too expensive to buy stuff and use it to talk to people and I’m not gonna do that ### 2/5 — Brought perks disappear when subscription expire *2026-07-12, version 11.27.0* The DMs, vibes, all gone if you don’t use it in time ### 1/5 — Bad to Trash *2026-07-11, version 11.27.0* Barely signed in and had two likes from one with no location or verification and one in Colombia (the country) which I’m clearly not going to dates in from Missouri. Getting matches within 200 miles is not happening more than a couple in a row. And then it tells me to change my filters. Scam. ### 1/5 — Impossible to get help *2026-07-10, version 11.27.0* This app keeps charging my card , I’ve tried canceling my subscription but it doesn’t pop up anywhere. Customer service is absolutely terrible. They give you recommendations that don’t even work. Good luck to even trying to speak with a real person ### 1/5 — Immediate ban *2026-07-09, version 11.27.0* I got banned before I even got to sign in for the very first time. I used Sign in with Apple and it immediately said device is banned ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even let me add photos *2026-07-07, version 11.26.0* Can’t use the app because it doesn’t let me even upload photos. ### 1/5 — Totally fake spams with ads *2026-07-05, version 11.26.0* This app spams you with ads every minute and eventually gets you with “matches” that never appear ### 1/5 — Not sure where thos app came from *2026-07-05, version 11.26.0* I think my phone is hacked, i never heard of this app, yet its on my phone ### 2/5 — Pros and cons *2026-07-03, version 11.26.0* The app is nice but I matched with a person and got extorted and threatened essentially by them and basically my instagram is now blocked because of their lies. I already reported them, but the damage was done. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cant even make an account *2026-08-25, version 12.2.0* Was banned on one email address, Then tried to sign in with a different email and phone number and still banned… ### 1/5 — Terrible. Just Terrible. *2026-08-23, version 12.2.0* Full of Scams and Fake profiles trying to get money out of you through threats or calls. If you do use this be careful, but I could recommend you enough NOT to use it. I learned this the hard way recently. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!! ### 1/5 — idk *2026-08-20, version 12.2.0* say i need to be 16 to continue then says i can’t go on it becusse im under 18 like what ### 1/5 — Complete Scam & Fake AI Profiles & Endless Token Trap! *2026-08-17, version 11.27.0* Do not waste your money on this app. The base subscription is ridiculously expensive, yet it grants virtually zero functionality or access. Everything is hidden behind mandatory, endless additional token purchases. To make matters worse, there are no real humans behind these profiles. The entire app uses fake, AI-generated accounts designed to trick you into draining your tokens. It is an automated money grab with no human interaction, and neither the developer nor Apple will honor refund requests despite the deceptive nature of the service. Avoid at all costs! ### 1/5 — Waste of time! *2026-08-13, version 11.27.0* Bots, No one close to my location, showing me profiles 3+ hours away. ### 1/5 — bots *2026-08-13, version 11.27.0* lot of bots trying to scam people ### 1/5 — Too many bots *2026-08-13, version 11.27.0* Filled to the brim with bots and scammers. Don’t talk to people outside the app unless your for sure they’re real. ### 1/5 — Weird *2026-08-12, version 11.27.0* So confusing to use, doesn’t show the location or bio of anyone you’re liking or swiping on.. set parameters to 30 miles it was showing me people hundreds of miles away..and if you want to see who likes you, who DMs you, anything, it’s all behind a paywall.
