## Review summary

User reviews mainly criticize the latest Azar update. They miss the random video chat and quick matching, and dislike the invite based system which feels slower and more like dating. The shift to gems and the lack of Apple subscriptions increases costs for international chats. The visible user base has become more geographically restricted, reducing cross country connections. Overall, the sentiment is negative and users urge reverting to the old version and pricing model.

### Pros

- Strong video chat feature with random matching (pre update)
- Global reach with users from many countries
- Original simple, fast random pairing experience

### Cons

- UX degradation after the latest update (slower, cluttered, less intuitive)
- Removal of random chat in favor of an invite-based system (less fun)
- Feels like a dating app instead of a random chat app
- Monetization shift to gems with no Apple subscription option (expensive for international chats)
- Geographic reach narrowed (fewer accessible countries; Latin America and some regions harder to find)
