User Reviews

Reviewers largely praise Lex as a solid way to meet queer people and form connections, including relationships. However, recurring problems harm usability: profile pictures fail to display, posting and feed glitches persist, and the app sometimes runs slowly. Safety concerns arise due to scammers/bots, and monetization changes are seen as reducing the communal feel. Overall, Lex is valued for its core purpose, but reliability and safety improvements are repeatedly requested.

Pros

Easy to find and connect with queer people.
Users report forming real connections, including dating or friendships.
Seen as a welcoming space for bisexual and gay communities.
Overall positive sentiment about the app's purpose in fostering queer community.

Cons

Profile pictures not loading or not visible to others (persistent image visibility glitches).
Posting and feed issues—inability to post, posts disappearing, or post packs not delivering.
Safety concerns due to scammers and bots.
Monetization changes and paywalls—features gated behind paid plans and perceived decline in community feel.
General performance problems like slow load times and unreliable image loading.

This app used to be bangin’ many years back, but now when I log in, all I see is women who are desperate to eat each other out.

you get dead profiles constantly, very few swipes per day to even find people, and when you do find someone the profile was last active 3 years ago. i have gotten 1 message and it was from a cis guy :( (i've reached out to at least like 10-20 people at this point with ZERO responses)

I really love the concept and community vibe of Lex, but I honestly think the app would benefit much more from being free or extremely low cost (even $1/month/week). Community-based apps only work when there’s enough active users and local engagement. For queer communities especially, user density and activity matter far more than monetization features. Once too many features are locked behind subscriptions, the app starts feeling quiet and inactive, which hurts the overall experience for everyone. Lex has something unique and special culturally. I’d rather see it grow into a larger, thriving queer community platform with more active users than become limited by paywalls too early.
