User Reviews

Overall, Hornet is viewed as a popular, feature-rich dating app with a positive user vibe. Many praise its broad reach and usability, but frequent complaints center on account suspensions without explanations, heavy and sometimes scammy advertising, and strict censorship that limits content. Other recurring issues include performance problems (crashes, slow loading), mismatched online/offline profiles or delays, and missing or weak filters. A few users cite pricing concerns. Taken together, the app is valued for its presence and features, but these reliability and policy problems dominate user sentiment.

Pros

Positive overall experience and usability.
Popular and well-known within the gay dating space.
Feature-rich app with many useful features.
Ad load is lower than some competitors.

Cons

Account suspensions without clear reasons.
Excessive and intrusive ads, including scammy or forced video ads.
Censorship and strict content rules restricting photos and posts.
Performance issues: crashes, can't open, slow loading.
Filters missing or not effective; some features don't work as expected.

Recent reviews

Great source to facilitate research methodology in many areas of current generation society_philosophical aspects/ changes through old aging era whrere younger Gen say 30 years age diferrences can be vitally volatile in both personal in sociological aspect. I gained useful insights from them and App Features to further analyze proper products such as Asian or Thai Gay App dating with much lower cost with compilations of localized Thai way of life into App. I see memberships fees are prizy now

Here you'll find 21 years old users who joined 6 or 8 years back 😂 In Dubai subscription is 8x of that in Turkiye for non-financial reasons. They allow racism on their platform and reporting changes nothing, sale of recreational drugs, 50% users are for "business".
