Scam

I paid 5 dollars for a boost and it won’t even let me use it. Don’t waste your time with this app, it’s a scam

Slightly unfair

Hi I really think locking “who liked me” behind a paywall feels insensitive, it can block genuine connections before they even start which is frustrating for both people. I’d love if you could reconsider that feature or something like that

YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING WTH

Misleading

This app is so misleading you have to pay to speak to people like I’m not being funny what’s the whole point of socialising if you need to pay for it?

Huge paywall

I should at the very least be able to accept requests, usually when you buy a subscription for an app like this its for perks and an improvement of the app not access to the app

p2u

ts is so pay to use make it free so i can see my friend req

Poor Quality.

I think the app itself it’s great, I like the idea, but paying money to see who requests you defeats the whole purpose of the app being a social connection platform. If you want it to be a money maker, have it as a paid app. Not in app purchases. I have 15 requests that I can’t look at…what was the point of me downloading?

Device banned for no reason

For an app that won’t even let you see the people who u didn’t match with, without paying real world money a random device ban is annoying. At least give me the chance to appeal my ban.

Don’t waste your time

This is genuinely one of the most money starved apps I can’t even see who add me because it requires premium how is it so “premium “ to use what I feel most would think is an essential part of any social media app so please don’t waste your time downloading if

Travel mode does not work at all.

I ran out people to add in about 5 minutes and you cannot refresh. You cannot use the travel mode to search in another city, because that doesn’t work. I paid for the weekly subscription just to see if it would improve that, but it did not. Even if I make my search preferences almost blank it’ll give me nothing.

Banned instantly

You can’t even do anything before getting verified and worse if the literal *AI* thinks you’re bad then you just get banned like how I did when I’m literally 14. And I was genuinely trying to make friends.

.

this app genuinely sucks you have to pay for everything it deserves 0 stars

Terrible

I can’t even make friends on here and then on top of that it’s really glitchy and I can’t do anything at all because wdym I gotta pay to just make friends this needs to be fixed asap.

Weird

I downloaded it and stayed in the company rules and opened it one day and it said I was banned. I don’t know how or why I did like it until I got banned. recommend if your really careful or whatever because I was being careful and didn’t do anything wrong and still got banned so.

help

i can’t edit my bio. i get a something went wrong banner everytime i try. i also have no option to send photos.

also somethings i think would go great
- bring back personality types
- one “theme song” link your favorite song to your profile
-link a playlist to your profile
- a new info spot with basic favorites to help spark conversation and just help know a person : color, movie, tv show, (song would go here but ideally would play too), book, band/artist, pet/animal, restaurant, food

i think it’s a great idea

P2w

You guys cannot do anything unless you pay something

Could be great BUT

I have to PAY to talk to people. One respectfully how does that make sense, at this point for anyone wanting to chat on here I would advise you don’t, and infact I’d advise people to find other apps

Paying for everything

I read other reviews and I agree. You can’t talk to anyone. I am someone who used this when wink used to be for teens. Soda is terrible. I always have a bunch of requests but they don’t show on my swiping bc if they did my requests would go down. I can’t see anyone and can’t meet people.

Total Scam

Bought Soda+ for a week, I am unable to send more friend requests than the free version like advertised, do not recommend.

Soda

It’s overall a very good app
