User Reviews

Reviews are largely negative due to persistent instability. The most recurring problems are login/authentication failures, the app not loading on current Android devices, and messaging/inbox issues. Users also report the app appearing unmaintained or defunct and a very low active user base with few connections. A small number of comments mention the app’s vibe and potential when it works, but those positives are far outweighed by the technical and maintenance problems.

Pros

Some reviews describe the app as good or fabulous when it works, indicating a positive premise and enjoyable vibe.
A few reviews note the app's vibe and potential for social connections when functional.
Occasional positive feedback about features like match celebrations (e.g., confetti on a match) when the app is functioning.

Cons

Login/authentication failures across devices and providers (can't log in, sign-in errors, account locked, or Firebase/app-id issues).
App fails to load or run on modern Android devices (Android 14/15, Xiaomi, Pixel) with reports of the app not loading at all.
Perceived lack of maintenance and unresponsiveness from developers; issues persist for long periods with little to no updates or support.
Messaging problems: inbox not updating, messages disappearing, or messages not sending/receiving; various error codes.
Low user activity and limited matches, leading to few real connections and overall dull user experience.

Horrible app! Every time I try to login, it says I violated TOS, which is ridiculous because I did no such things and when I try to reach customer service, no one ever gets back to me to help! totally worthless app.
