User Reviews

User reviews are mixed. Many praise the app for ease of use, an active user base, responsive support, and location-based features. However, recurring concerns include heavy advertising and paid features restricting free use, prevalence of scams and catfishing, onboarding glitches with account creation and profile photo uploads, and insufficient filters for refined searching (such as ftm). Addressing onboarding reliability, scam protections, and filtering could broaden appeal while preserving safety and affordability.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive interface.
Large, active user base with lots of guys online.
Responsive moderation and support (admin and moderators reach out).
Location-based matching with real-time visibility of nearby users.
Profile verification is available to improve authenticity.

Cons

Excessive ads and a pay-to-use model; free tier offers very few likes.
Catfish/scammers and fraudulent activity, including gift-card scams and ongoing card charges.
Onboarding/account setup problems (can't create account or delays uploading profile picture).
Lack of useful filters / missing search options (e.g., ftm search).

Recent reviews

This is a Awesome app and very easy and super HOT guys.

HORRIBLE! If you're not a paid user, persistent full screen ads for games pop up that cannot be cancelled without closing the app!!! No info about when the user was last on the app, no online indication, after a few profile views the rest of the profile pics are blurred.... Weird, no good.
