Was das Abo auch macht und was ich persönlich etwas unverschämt finde, dafür Geld zu verlangen, ist der Fakt, dass man Leuten erst nur dann antworten kann, die einem eine Nachricht schreiben OHNE vorher eine Freundschaftsanfrage gesendet zu haben, wenn man bereit ist, €20/Monat zu zahlen, während das mit Freundschaftsanfrage völlig unlimitiert bleibt. Es steht außer Frage, dass diese Plattform sehr benutzerfreundlich ist. Das Team ist sehr bedacht darauf, die Fairness und das Miteinander zu wahren. Klar, die Fähigkeit auf anderer Reaktionen direkt reagieren zu können und das zu monetarisieren, das kann ich verstehen. Aber wenn jemand einem eine Nachricht schreibt, ohne vorher eine Freundschaftsanfrage gesendet zu haben, und das dann gleichzustellen mit "auf eine Gestik antworten", das finde ich ein bisschen unverschämt. Aber ansonsten ist die App Mega. Kann ich nur empfehlen. **Developer response:** Hallo Tojigomo. Wir verstehen: Geldentscheidungen sind nicht easy. Yubo ist kostenlos, egal ob du neue Freunde suchst, Profile wischst, chattest oder live gehst. Als werbefreie App bieten wir Upgrades für mehr Sichtbarkeit, Reichweite oder Kontrolle an. Fragen? Schreib uns einfach eine E-Mail an support@yubo.live. Wir freuen uns auf das Gespräch. ### 5/5 — W *2026-08-20, version 4.228.0* W ### 5/5 — dope app *2026-08-20, version 4.228.0* super dope can make friends ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-20, version 4.229.0* It’s great ### 5/5 — Is ok *2026-08-20, version 4.228.0* Is ok ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-20, version 4.228.0* Muy buena aplicación ### 5/5 — Yay *2026-08-20, version 4.228.0* 100 new friends ### 2/5 — Pay to win *2026-08-20, version 4.228.0* It’s a cool app however too much of it is hidden behind paywalls and I’m not taking out another subscription just to make friends, why has this been normalised??
