## Review summary

The app is loved by some for linking with Snapchat and offering a simple way to meet new people, and is praised as a better option than Hoop/Wink. However, recurring safety concerns, frequent sign-in and account issues, forced photo requirements, and flaky matching/visibility undermine reliability. Users also report bugs and compatibility problems with older iOS devices. Key fixes include stronger safety controls, more reliable social sign-in, flexible photo options, and improved match/messaging flow.

### Pros

- Strong positive sentiment with many users saying they love or enjoy the app.
- Helps connect with Snapchat friends or discover people on Snapchat, acting as a bridge to Snapchat interactions.
- Often viewed as a favorable option compared to similar apps (Hoop, Wink) for adding people on Snapchat.

### Cons

- Safety concerns due to fake profiles and predatory behavior; some reviews mention abuse and minors.
- Sign-in and social account connectivity issues (Instagram/Snapchat) and Apple ID-only login; some accounts show incorrect usernames.
- Account deletion problems (users report accounts reappearing after deletion).
- UX issues like forced multi-shot selfies and pressure to use new photos.
- Matching/visibility problems (repeated profiles, swiping leads to no follow-up or messaging; difficulty in messaging).
