User Reviews

Reviewers praise frequent updates and privacy features but repeatedly cite ads, fake profiles, and safety concerns. Many note scams and weak moderation, plus fears about personal data being misused. Technical drawbacks include bugs, slowness, and a high iOS requirement, with the free version feeling limited and pricing steep. A smaller group highlights live video, albums, and cross-regional reach as positives. Overall, Hornet shows potential for privacy and features, but ads, reliability, and safety remain major issues.

Pros

Active updates and feature improvements keeping the app current
Strong privacy focus and added privacy controls
Rich feature set (live video, photo albums) that differentiates Hornet
Ability to connect with users from different regions (e.g., Russians)

Cons

Ad-heavy experience with intrusive ads
Fake profiles and scammers; weak moderation
Safety/privacy concerns about personal data being collected or misused
Bugs, slow performance, and high iOS version requirements
Limited free version and high pricing

Без платной подписки через каждые два действия, например ответ на сообщение и просмотр анкеты, нужно долго смотреть 2-4 рекламы. Чтобу убрать каждую рекламу, нужно несколько раз нажать на разные кнопки. Без платной подписки очень сложно пользоваться приложением. Понимаю надо смотреть рекламу раз не платишь за пользование приложением, ну не так много же рекламы. Это просто вымогательство
