User Reviews

User reviews for Upward are mixed to negative. The most recurring complaints are that core features require paid subscriptions (e.g., seeing who liked you, messaging, and nearby discovery), making it feel like a cash grab. Many users report scams, bots, and phishing attempts, undermining trust. The app is frequently buggy—logins, loading, and stability issues—often with inaccurate distance results. Pricing is confusing with multiple subscriptions and upsells. A minority of reviews praise the app as easy to use or briefly positive, but widespread frustration dominates.
