Nothing fixes it and it’s been like that for a while now. ### 2/5 — Same as always🥀 *2026-05-22, version 12.8.0* I truly feel like these developers dont know what they’re doing anymore. Across blk, chispa, and now yuzu everyone is having the same issues. Your location settings are out of control. Yuzu is the worst one yet, i have my radius set for 20 miles and yet right now at this moment im finding nothing but 200, 300, all the way up to 600 miles away. Whats the point of matching with someone if they’re 600 miles away? ### 2/5 — Ban appeal *2026-03-13, version 12.4.0* I was recently banned from yuzu when I only created an account. I hadn’t even started swiping so I believe I’ve been targeted in error ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-02-25, version 12.2.0* Fake accounts on here ### 2/5 — Filtering is Terrible *2026-02-22, version 12.2.0* The app treats any filter as if it didn't exist at all and continues to show you to users completely outside of those preferences. "You're 18 and want someone age appropriate? Oops! How about men in their 50s and 60s instead? Oh and also everyone is 400+ miles away despite setting it at <25 miles" I try to block as many of them as possible but it's relentless. Also, I don't see much point in marketing it as an Asian dating app when a significant amount of users are white people with an Asian fetish trying to recruit women into their racist sexual fantasies. ### 1/5 — I haven’t gotten 1 match in over a year *2026-02-12, version 12.2.0* 2/10 ### 1/5 — Everyone is too far away *2026-01-26, version 11.15.0* Despite me putting filters for distance of whom I want to date, it keeps showing people 900-1000 miles away. Most useless dating app of all the dating apps I have. ### 3/5 — Same issues as Chispa and BLK *2026-01-20, version 11.15.0* I've tried the app and it still has issue with the location settings and limited profiles outside of metro areas. I think part of the reason they switch the location to people 300 miles away is too keep people on the app swiping, plus it gives the false impression that you have lots of likes, when you probably have very few locally. That and the fact that this app has so limited profiles nearby, actually makes it worse then Chispa, but not as bad as BLK. ### 1/5 — NOT for Asians (read the edit!!) *2026-01-16, version 11.15.0* Yuzu has banned be out of retaliation after this post. It asks you to pay for boost after two swipes. It asks you to create an account on Tinder after 4-5 swipes. Then it asks you if you want to pay to reveal who sent a like. Literally a money grabbing app and not helpful. Recommendation: do not download this. It’s a scam app. They spent good amount of money into marketing towards Asians claiming that this is an Asian dating app. The app is 8/10 Hispanic or Black. There’s no filter to only look for people of my kind. This is NOT a safe place for Asians. After three swipes of non-Asian, it asks you if I want to pay to view my likes. Why would I do that when I know 80% of them are not what I’m looking for? (I paid for it once. Never again) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-01-14, version 11.15.0* Sad I kept getting scammed or catfished or ghost. Pathetic app. ### 3/5 — Not really a space for Asians and just an app with "Asian" interests/ hobbies in mind *2026-01-02, version 11.15.0* Decent platform. l've made a few good connections on here and is one of my better experiences. Been able to match with many people around the country but the categorization could use improvement since both the dating and social sections bleed into one another and the filters don't seem to work all too well. You also the typical dating app paywalls but I’ve managed ok without paying The app, however, has WAY TOO MANY non-Asians (many with yellow fever). It’s to the point that there are more non-Asians than Asians. I'm personally fine with having some diversity on this app, but it has become frustrating to want a space for Asian-Americans when instead the app is flooded with those with an Asian fetish and often times a lack of respect for the people and the culture ### 2/5 — No Asians *2025-12-12, version 11.15.0* App has a lot of potential but I joined to meet other Asians in my local area… I’ve met one Asian online in a different city/long distance. The app is flooded with anyone who likes anime, rather than a platform for people with similar backgrounds to culturally connect... Disappointing. It seems like a place for non Asians to try to find someone Asian to date… but it’s all non Asian users anyway. Weird vibes. ### 1/5 — Lies not for Asians *2025-11-29, version 11.14.0* This app is like 80% not Asians I thought it was only for us, you get one Asian for every 20 swipes it’s crazy they need verification of some sort or something! ### 1/5 — Full of Asian stereotypes *2025-11-26, version 11.14.0* No one is Asian, no one responses and their community feature or the logic showing friends is very poorly built. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-11-24, version 11.14.0* Horrible. Do not get. Filled with ads ### 2/5 — Not enough, Asians *2025-11-16, version 11.14.0* As the title says, there’s too little Asians on here. Majority of the profiles are white or black and obese. ### 1/5 — Limited Photo Options *2025-11-16, version 11.14.0* You cannot edit, resize, or crop your photos without their AI software zooming in on nothing, but your face. Runs the whole composition of your photos and makes your profile look chopped. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Settings preferences never fixed *2026-07-23, version 12.11.3* Why is it that you can't even get the preferences correct? It's been so many years and you can't fix something so simple? Even as simple as me putting an age limit, it still gives me people below or over what I requested. Along with distance. When I first left the settings at 50 miles, why did the first few show up at 100+ miles??? ### 1/5 — Refund? *2026-07-19, version 12.11.3* Just disappearing next week? I’ve paid for this rubbish app through the end of august. Can I get a refund of my last month? ### 1/5 — Be careful *2026-06-28, version 12.10.0* I use the card before and I decided try to cancel it but I don’t see subscription Some please be careful Because I been hacked ### 1/5 — Broken app *2026-06-08, version 12.8.1* Garbage, broken app. Used to be decent, but I find it hard to believe that there are only 10-15 people in all of NYC and surrounding areas Then it shifts to people from 300miles +?? Awful buggy mess ### 1/5 — Ridiculous customer service *2026-05-23, version 12.8.0* I made my account and messed up my email in the process, so I got kicked out of the app and when I tried to log in with my phone number that I verified already it says error. I tried contacting customer service multiple times trying to find my account with the different emails it could be under or the phone number and their response is to log into the account and ask for further service there……how can I do that IF I CANT ACCESS THE ACCOUNT?! HOW IS IT THAT I ASK MULTIPLE PEOPLE AND THE RESPONSE IS THE SAME EVERYTIME?! Don’t mess up your info folks or they treat you like a scammer and don’t help you at all! ### 1/5 — Keeps asking for roots *2026-05-15, version 12.7.1* Everytime I get on the app I have to reenter my roots no matter how many times I enter it. Super annoying and buggy. ### 1/5 — waste of time & space *2026-04-23, version 12.6.0* This company might as well shut down the app. There's barely even any practical functionality. Not everyone is going to be willing to gamble their money so since there's such a disparity between users who have only the free features and those who might actually have Gold/Platinum — there's nothing really going on. I purchased the Platinum to see how it would work and it promised that Gold features would be included, but I noticed I could not do some of the things I used to be able to do in Gold. Even trying to just network and meets friends — there's not much going on with this app. Just close up the app or sell it. It's hopeless in your hands. SMH ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-04-20, version 12.6.0* Clearly just want you to pay $20/week as they won’t stop spamming ads for subscription ### 1/5 — This app sucks. *2026-03-08, version 12.3.0* The app isn’t hard to navigate and everything is relatively easy. The problem is you have to pay to see who waved at you. How am I meant to meet and get to know others when theres a paywall in the way blocking me from doing anything. Personally I am disappointed and this app is useless. ### 1/5 — Disabled account *2026-02-27, version 12.3.0* They disabled my account after 2 days. I submitted a report and they never really got back to me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dead app *2026-06-17, version 12.9.1* Nobody talks in any of their communities and there’s no locals on the apps ### 5/5 — Decent app but kinda pricey *2026-06-14, version 12.9.0* The women on this app are incredibly beautiful compared to other apps I’ve used ### 5/5 — Request to Review Reports and Resolve Account Issues and app *2026-06-04, version 12.8.1* Dear Support Team, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to respectfully request a review of all reports associated with my account. I believe there may be misunderstandings, inaccurate reports, or issues that have affected my account and experience on your platform.

If there are problems that need to be corrected, I am willing to cooperate fully and follow your guidelines. I also kindly request assistance in resolving any technical or account-related issues that may be affecting my access or use of the app. My goal is to continue using the platform in accordance with your terms and community standards. Thank you for your time, understanding, and assistance. I look forward to your response and to resolving these matters as soon as possible. Sincerely, Michael ### 5/5 — NOT for Asians *2025-09-25, version 11.11.2* They spent good amount of money into marketing towards Asians claiming that this is an Asian dating app. The app is 8/10 Hispanic or Black. There’s no filter to only look for people of my kind. This is NOT a safe place for Asians. After three swipes of non-Asian, it asks you if I want to pay to view my likes. Why would I do that when I know 80% of them are not what I’m looking for? (I paid for it once. Never again) ### 5/5 — Too many Non-asians *2025-07-27, version 11.8.0* I thought this was a asian-only dating app😐 ### 5/5 — One of the newer better apps *2025-07-05, version 11.6.0* I am sad to see the low rating this app just needs more users but overall the population is real and active but also not overly shallow or glorified good app ### 5/5 — ASIAN ONLY FILTER *2025-06-04, version 11.3.1* we need a filter for ASIANS ONLY, an asian dating site with 70% non asians...🙄 ### 5/5 — Can’t get passed the option for dating *2025-06-02, version 11.3.1* Can’t get pass the option for dating or social only ### 5/5 — Alright, but needs some improvement *2025-05-10* Just started using it today. Here’s pros and cons. Pros: you get a lot of opportunities to swipe, you get to chat with a lot of people from all over, it’s mostly Asian, I like the profile layout. Cons: like many users have said, there’s far too many people who are not Asian who are on the app. This should be an Asian safe space, not a way for fetishists to shoot their shot with us. Additionally, the filters barely work. ### 5/5 — Serious Privacy Issues – BE CAREFUL *2025-04-26* Someone made a fake profile using one of my photos and several of my sister’s. They even posted her full real name and linked her real Instagram in the bio — all without permission. This is a clear violation of privacy, and the app did not remove the profile fast enough after it was reported. Yuzu needs better safeguards against impersonation and stronger response times for serious reports. Until then, I don’t recommend using it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
