## Review summary

Overall, users find purp useful for meeting new people and forming genuine connections, with some even finding long-term relationships. The most common complaints are safety and moderation issues due to bot/fake accounts and nudity scams targeting minors, plus reliability problems (glitches, loading, chat loss) and a pay-to-play model with limited free features. Spammy bot activity and external-app promotions worsen the experience. Improved safety, stability, and a fairer monetization approach would address the top concerns.

### Cons

- Weak moderation; reports often don4t lead to action and innocent users can be banned.
- Frequent glitches and loading issues; chats disappear and the app is unreliable.
- Monetization and pay-to-use model; limited free swipes and many features require payment to access.
- Spammy promotions and bots advertising external services (e.g., Telegram, Discord, Snapchat).
