★★★★ Blocked 7/1/2026
I am not able to signup the company has blocked my device why i don't know I was using at the first time worst app
★★★★ Emma Rankine 6/30/2026 v11.5.2
This is the most terrible app I have came across. I only made an account yesterday as a few of my friends suggested it, I hadn't even put much in the profile. I had something to do, so left it for about 30 minutes. came back to it, reported on guy for asking if I wanted to see an inappropriate photo. I believe I went to the bathroom, came back and my account had been disabled! got in contact, explained, then was told it had been flagged and reported as a suspicious account. No reply after that.
★★★★ Blank Blanky 6/30/2026 v11.5.2
red dot notifications in the app aren't disappearing even after replying to the messages.
★★★★ Lindi Hawkins 6/30/2026
Pretty much only if you want to meet skeevy dudes
★★★★ The Seventh Tree 6/29/2026 v11.5.1
Nothings free 😌
★★★★ Hüseyin Can KARA 6/29/2026
filled with scammers
★★★★ Lily Heflin 6/29/2026 v11.5.1
Marketed for teens but rules only allow 17 and up, should specify more clearly. it's obviously not for teens, just young adults.
★★★★ L “BUGt95” 6/29/2026 v11.5.1
no search by location function to try to befriend people near by whats the point?
★★★★ autumn frank 6/28/2026
not even 5 min of downloading it I had 3 people wanting to send pictures of there private parts im not into that will not be downloading this app again
★★★★ Christina Paul 6/28/2026 v11.5.1
installed to immediately uninstall - first message was from a married man trying to find someone that would sleep with him anyways and second was a WhatsApps scammer and I wasn't even on the app for more than 5 minutes and the ads are the most invasive & start to crash and open up webpages and the play store
★★★★ Lamar Yaseen 6/28/2026
horrible app, they kept taking my accounts away for absolutely no reason
★★★★ Kiran Thakur 6/27/2026
okok
★★★★ Bhavya Singh 6/27/2026 v11.5.1
I met one genuinely interesting person, and our conversation was going great. The next morning, he was suddenly "unavailable." I regret not exchanging contact info. Apart from that, most chats turned sexual within 2-3 messages. If this is a friendship app, please encourage genuine friendships. People looking only for sexual chats should use apps meant for that. Better moderation is needed.
★★★★ Rati kanta Pakhira 6/27/2026
best
★★★★ Ari Castillo 6/27/2026
you can't even choose to only want to see people from your city and it's just not a well managed app and if u want it to work well you have to pay
★★★★ Ashish Singh 6/26/2026
very bad please remove this type of app from my account
★★★★ SYLVIA BENEDIT 6/26/2026 v11.5.1
I don't don't get this app because I just get my account and they already kicked me out and I do what they say take the picture and never worked I would like help to get out of my account and delete my account I would like someone to tell me how to get out of my account this app is worth of time
★★★★ Arin Nahian 6/26/2026 v11.5.1
this app is a scam
★★★★ malini rustagi 6/25/2026 v11.5.1
someone has created my profile without my permission. can your team support me in deleting it .
★★★★ Savak Gaming 6/24/2026
Please don't waste your time with this app. it's over run with bots sometimes you'll find a actual person to talk to but it's rare you either have to be good looking or spend money on the app to actually find someone to talk. half the time you're swiping through bots. tbh this app is damn near worse then tinder and that says alot. this app used to be good back then but now it's just add
★★★★ sharan narsingi 6/24/2026 v11.4.1
App full of scammers
★★★★ Rolex Sighaniya 6/24/2026 v11.4.1
What is your problem that you are not verifying me, I have done it 30 to 40 times, still you people are not doing it, all the poses are also correct, still your app is very bad, it should be improved.and fix my problem as soon as possible
★★★★ Venessa Barbee 6/23/2026
no one was in my area
★★★★ Brad Di Pietro 6/23/2026 v11.2.1
There are so many scammers and fake profiles on this app. I have tried several times but it's always the same results and it has gotten worse. I have deleted and opened my account on this app several times and it has been the same results as far as fake people trying to scam people.
★★★★ Annika 6/22/2026 v11.4.1
It keep closing on me!
★★★★ prateek mehta 6/22/2026 v11.4.1
I found it useless.
★★★★ Saitama 6/22/2026 v11.4.1
everyone on this app is fake and Scammers. 😡 dont recommend it. i just spent money of my subscription but too late for me to realise that every profile is fake or a scammer
★★★★ Amber Daniela Muñoz Nava 6/22/2026 v11.4.1
Had the app for not even 30min got suspended, I emailed support and they said it was flagged as a Suspicious account and reported by other users?, I wasn't even done creating my profile, hadn't talked to anyone yet, and only reported one person because they literally sent a threatening message to me as soon as I joined. Ridiculous how I can get threatened but it's me who gets banned without even knowing why(?) Waste of time and Customer Support is a joke.
★★★★ Ritik Raj 6/22/2026 v11.4.1
gud
★★★★ Cam Mac 6/20/2026 v11.4.1
This only has scammers on it.intact I'm actually wondering if was made by scammers.
★★★★ Valafar Smith 6/20/2026 v11.4.1
I'll give more than a single star when I don't get pop up ads every time I close a chat box. Also, I know it's an app designed for making friends, not dates, but being minor inclusive is just unsafe and weird. . . because people treat it like a dating app and kids misbehave all the time anyways. Edit: So they put time limits on your chat requests. Which doesn't help at all and in fact makes things worse. I think I actually hate this app. Uninstalling.
★★★★ Precious Chipex 6/20/2026 v11.4.1
I want to create friends globally
★★★★ Layla 6/18/2026 v11.4.1
Disappointed. nothing but boys wanting the 🍆 wanted to make more GIRL friends than anything
★★★★ Zeej Alhajji 6/18/2026 v11.4.1
full of scammers, weird people asking you to either to buy crypto etc or only_fans page. rubbish.
★★★★ JY DN 6/18/2026 v11.4.1
I was banned for no reason and I never get an explanation why
★★★★ Luna Tyler 6/17/2026
I was hacked from my account and worried they have my personal info. please fix it. Also the staff did not help at all they stopped contacting me.
★★★★ Rhe. 6/15/2026 v11.4.1
I'm a first time user, I downloaded this app and things were going well, I managed to find someone who had many things in common with me. Then I look and they're 'unavailable', I KNOW I wasn't blocked, we were both invested into the conversation, not once did they do anything that violated the rules. I did some research, it may be a bug and I should wait 24 hours, I'm on hour 20. If in 4 hours this bug isn't fixed and its an unreasonable ban I'm deleting this app. edit- don't waste your time.
★★★★ Jessica Mooresville 6/15/2026 v11.4.1
actually good app I love it
★★★★★ Talon 6/30/2026 v11.5.2
this app is getting worse and worse. first they got rid of the music, second it keeps glitching and making me swipe no when I meant to swipe yes, and now it suddenly has a problem with the photos I've had on my profile for like a year?! (the photo was a picture of the drag queen Divine) is this app not made for adults? plus there's literally a slider that makes it so that only adults can see my profile so what does it matter what I post on my profile?
★★★★★ Seriah Covey 6/28/2026
The app seemed really promising at first until I had to verify my account and it wouldn't accept any photo I took. (I'm not a catfisher I genuinely don't understand why it wouldn't accept my photos)😭😭
★★★★★ Aubrey Fitzsimmons 6/25/2026 v11.5.1
people will black mail you and force to give you something you don't want to show
★★★★★ Amber Beam 6/20/2026 v11.4.1
You lose connections at random, so make sure you get people's contact info early if you actually connect with them.
★★★★★ ollie sweeney 6/20/2026 v11.4.1
