★★★★ Christian Pedroza 4/1/2026
scam
★★★★ Alexander Nelson 3/27/2026 v1.0.13
A scam. A HUGE SCAM. They hire women in Africa and Philippines to pretend to be American, Canadian and United Kingdom, just like Linky. They take pictures and videos from social media like Instagram, Facebook, X(Twitter), and use the pictures and videos from women on those apps and use their images to project that they are those women. This is a fraudulent cash grab to get men to think they are talking to real women from those pictures and videos.
★★★★ Jerry Smith 3/27/2026 v1.0.13
Before I finished profile, I got matches. How, I had not swiped anything yet. No tags to match with. Hmm. I ignored the standard try to get you to pay messages. Then the screen got hijacked with pay for premium. I said no. It made me tap like 4 times and try to do a survey to close it out. After all that, I finally swiped. You cannot filter anything without paying. All suggestions were very skinny, young ladies in suggestive poses, covered in tattoos. You get 10 swipes before a cool down start
★★★★ fable Leon 3/23/2026
can't chat for free for very long

★★★★ Andrew 12/21/2025
scam app. do not install
★★★★ Jeremie K 12/19/2025 v1.0.10
if you are a guy its not worth your time. Chat is not unlimited have to pay after awhile. Just filled with chicks or bots looks to send pic/vids and ask you to pay to unlock them. it's a cash sink, some play the long game and still ask the same and other bots chat and show the pic/vid and ask you to unlock it. They use manplitative tricks to pay want to pay so be aware!
★★★★ Xander 12/8/2025
I have discovered many issues the app. Regarding the purchases and accounts that go against the terms and services. Coming from the previous app that had notification to get this new one it follows the same issues. Do not get this app.

★★★★ Andre Watson 10/15/2025 v1.0.10
It's the worst dating site ever. Worst experience downloading a dating app . The commercial was a click bait 🤣 😂 😆 🙄 😒. These people are cons and pimps. Stay away they charge you for everything even to message someone on this site. A lot of AI people on there that the site set to draw you in . Zero star is a waste of my time ⏲️ 😒 🙄 😑 🙃 .

★★★★ Christian Tejada 9/11/2025 v1.0.10
this app is a prositution they do not use itbas what they say
★★★★ Dying Star Productions 8/19/2025 v1.0.8
Not only is the app not letting me access my account through mobile phone number but it purchased a subscription when I declined the offer. I'm willing to keep the offer alongside some of the reveal photo and video things cause the app IS really good just can't access my account.
