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.

Recent reviews

I loved being on Lex and my account was randomly suspended one day months ago. There has been no response at all to my appeal or messages asking why! I’m sure I did nothing wrong- I only use Lex to post about free events happening in the community and am so sad they will not answer my emails or appeal

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)
