Review summary

Users appreciate the app's simplicity and straightforward approach different from competitors, and some find the website version more usable. However, the app is heavily paywalled, requiring costly, intrusive verification to use key features such as messaging. Location and user data are often inaccurate or duplicated, with limited filtering options making browsing difficult. Frequent bugs and poor customer support further frustrate users. Overall, while some see potential, many find the app unreliable and costly compared to alternatives.

Pros

Simple and straightforward interface compared to other apps like Grindr
Allows a 7-day chat period with a match, which is appreciated
Some users prefer the website version for better experience
App sometimes presents new users rather than repetitive profiles
Some find the app solid with potential for improvements

Cons

Many features are restricted behind a paywall, including messaging and verification
Verification process is expensive, intrusive, and non-refundable
The app has location inaccuracies and poor user database management, showing users far away or duplicate profiles
Lack of useful filters (age, ethnicity, online status) and issues with filtering out blank profiles
Reported software bugs like freezing, login problems, and unreliable notifications, with poor or no customer support
