way too many bots
I just got this app. it won't allow me to create an account' I have contacted support multiple times and they respond with the same thing over and over again and saying I was banned for stuff even though I have never used the app and i would message support they would respond then I would message them again and they wouldn't respond.

This app is more than a Freak app than a friends making app. Most of the people are either bots or a girl as a boy asking me to come to other social media and asking for my pic of private parts.The worst is the contact support,I have reported multiple accounts stright through app as well as gmail but only automatic message is recieved.This app is a thirst trap is in HMU section girls are posting a picture of their chest to gain chats and likes and this app is called a friends app.Its a joke app.
seems like all the dating app is only a waste of time, nowadays all the dating app is just to take money. First: to create an account you take a picture and takes so long to accept. Instead of take a picture of id card this app requests a selfie and takes so long to accept. Garbage!!!
pretty easy to set up, but no way to set filter for people close to you and due to that, you run out of searches fast.
immediately uninstalled - why give the option to say you're non binary if you then have to pick whether you're shown in searches for men or women...?
do not install some scammer are there developer if you are seeing this then add a face verification before signing up because there are some scammer who make fake girl or boy id's and they scamm us financially or blackmailing after sometime they come in touch to the real users
Unfortunately rating as 1* due to the recent regression of the quality of this app. Pros - Has users - can be enjoyed for free, even if the ads are excessive and intrusive - has been around for a long time Negatives - users outnumbered something crazy by bots now - ads are excessive and rewards are not really rewarding (& have been reduced over the years) - actively censors posts if they reflect the app poorly, are about other social media, yet accounts that should be banned roam freely
Demands a picture. Seems fishy, won't be going through.
I dont understand? this app isn't user friendly and you cant choose to only see people in your city I want real friends in my area?
ads so long I died of old age
Apparently, ppl "expire"? how am i supposed to make friends if everyone i dont immediately talk to is suddenly unavailable? filter only limits country, not state, so i cant even find nearby people
worst app ever there's countless ppl trying to black mail with fake photos
I thought this App Would Be Great For Dating But it's Not This App Has Girls Who Has Girls That Will Make You Send Nudes The They Will Make a Picture Saying Your a Rapist and a Creep and Then They Say Pay me Money and I Post it do not Download This App
nearby feature was removed. entire title of the app is now untrue.
This app was good before,im using it for over 3 years now and this is the lowest it has come to. There's close to no real people left. The app is full of scammers and perverts and moderation is absent. U should really get it together guys or ur app will slowly fall.
0 Stars if possible. All requests you get are mostly just bots nowadays.
not safe for girls, worst experience, onine harassment
The app befriend is really good but since because of fake reports ur account will be disabled and my account has been disabled and an sure i didn't violate anything mentioned by then in the community guidelines and i contacted them but no response. Edit:They had disabled my account for 2 months now and they say i violated the rules and when i ask them which rule has been violated no response and I really met so many friends and r close and now i like have no way to contact them.
makes my whole phone go laggy
you have to pay
"make friends nearby". An entire country is not nearby. I don't see a way to filter by city or even province/state. I live in Canada, this country is MASSIVE.
Timewaste. Filled with 'verified' bots. Most matches can't say anything other than hi or drop socials. Avoid
To be real, I am legitimately disappointed, I love everything about this app, but I feel like BeFriend needs to have more access for 14. I just feel like it would be more inclusive. like I got banned just for being 14 and wanting to talk to other kids 🙄 very disappointed but good app 🙂
I was sexualy harassed
each swipe uses gems typical scammer app don't waste your time with it
My account banned two time in a day and it's just frustrating
lowkey got scammed, the children here are little criminals, tried extorting me and everything :(
Watching ads for points to swipe is fine. Though watchimg ads for points and not receiving your reward is a big issue. When the ad is finished an x does not pop up to close it out instead only a redirect li keep to go to Google play store. After selecting that you have to press the back button on your phone to bring you back to the app this time the ad is gone an u get no points for the ad you just watched. This happened to me 4x in a row. So I believe I am owed 30x4 which is 120pts
be "friends"... Surely not. Why is this just a dating app? I don't have the option the change the people recommended to women. Clearly just a hook up app...
why do the women look like serial killers, I'm good on this site
97% Bots. Every bot who tries to chat instantly wants to move to Snapchat or Telegram. it's really dodgy. lots duplicate accounts. Definitely filled with scammers. BeFriend works fine, but the bots on here make it competely untrustworthy
I just wanted to try it out a bit, but it forces you to upload a photo of yourself before doing anything. i didn't like the app at all. i want to delete my account. well guess what! im stuck in this stupid verification window. im not doing that. no way to get out. delete my account! wth is this
zero sorting options whatsoever and only shows same gender. Do they seriously think we only make friends who are the same gender as us and if we're different genders, it HAS to be a romantic thing? That makes this app absolutely useless for anyone who wants a diverse friend group. incredibly old fashioned. There are also barely any users. i set my age to any age and location to any and then was shown maybe 20 accounts and then was told that was ALL OF THEM.
not sure why but I got on to my app and it basically changed my name to null, null. I've never had this problem before it wouldn't let me sign out, I have t done anything against terms and regulations so I don't understand why this is happening. cleared the data and cache, tries to sign back in and it doesn't let me. it's doung the same thing again.
Forces you to have a picture of your face.
very, very, easy access for pedophiles. you could be 80 with the preferred age set to 16. parents beware of this app PLEASE.
Fatally buggy, full of fake people and scammers, you'll drown in the torrent of never ending obnoxious ads.
good app it's 😊
too much scammers on the app looking for nsfw images from teens had 3 text me within a hour of me downloading the app
im not seeing my message,, I only get the message on notifications but when I get into the app I don't see any messages which is frustrating
location filter is worst ... nearby location shows , country from Indonesia. worst app
this app is very mediocre you can't filter almost anything on the app like ages and where someone lives because we got people from Angola and like freaking China on here plus there are a whole bunch of freaks who lie abt their age, WOULD not recommend this app if your like 15-16 as a male since YOU dont ever get matches, honestly this app is lowk dead asf since everyone is always "online 2 hours ago"
too expensive for scrolling through
I've tried multiple times but I'm not able to use the app, I'm so disappointed ☹️ everytime I enter my email it shows I'm spam or fake
This app doesn't really have any nearby features; it's mostly countrywide.
the app is okay. nothing special. recently ill post a "hmu" and it wont even post, but wont let me try again for another 2 hours. fix this pls
the app is okay but it needs to show new messages from new people please fix this problem
Why does a friendship app need ads for smh i hate that but if you are they should only leave the ones at the bottom not on top of that add more that pop up.Also the location is wrong for me and others on the site and you can't change it. Lastly you should be able to search for people based on your city.
