This app is basically a scam. Nobody responds.

I think I'll save my money and avoid this money-sucking post-capitalist trash, thanks. 😁👍

★★★★ Cloud Strife 5/5/2026 v4.274.0
You can't see who added you without paying...

★★★★ Jordan Douglas 5/5/2026 v4.273.0
app is terrible, literally impossible to make friends especially since they added the stupid blasts and fast adds since it's just full of people abusing it and then ghosting you immediately, don't even get me started on the ridiculous paywall system, at least make it so we can watch ads to get coins/reveal reactions/adds
★★★★ St Atue 5/5/2026 v4.273.0
don't bother downloading, just like twitch. they pick favourites if ur a man might as well not bother. I literally screenshotted my gta character, nothing sexual in the slightest, used it as one of my pics on my profile and got banned. I literally did nothing wrong. I wish I could cus on here but whatever. don't download this app please im begging u at this point they don't deserve it
★★★★ Florian v. Rooij 5/4/2026 v4.273.0
everything fake. Fake people, fake messages, etc. not sure how this app can exist.
★★★★ Johannes 5/4/2026 v4.273.0
ze wszystkich dostępnych aplikacji tego typu ta ma najgorszą społeczność. Masa ładnych ludzi którzy nie mają kompletnie nic do powiedzenia. Polecam jeśli chcesz pozbierać pary. Do niczego więcej ta apka się nie nadaje
★★★★ Krzysztof Szworc 5/4/2026
when u deleted daily rewards this app lost its purpose for people who doesn't want to spend money. like matching sucks, swiping sucks, reactions are useless. tbh there's nothing to do anymore
★★★★ Logbuzzy 5/4/2026 v4.273.0
not free, need to pay to make friends or chat with people, they send the same fake response 24/7 to people who post issues about the fact you need to pay for features that are free on other apps, you also need to show your face and it gets saved in a database.
★★★★ Jules Amouroux (Taktic7) 5/3/2026 v4.273.0
Plus aucun moyen de gagner des pièces qui sont pourtant essentielles. Les personnes qui like votre profil n'apparaissent jamais dans les profils à swipe. Ne dépensez surtout pas votre argent dans cette application !
★★★★ Sadman Sikder 5/3/2026
Full of bots that will text you first but will never continue conversations. Don't bother with this stupid app.
★★★★ Benjamin Yeboah 5/3/2026 v4.273.0
They responded to my initial review about the excessive paid features so here's my response. YOU CANT EVEN ACCEPT FRIEND REQS WITHOUT PAYING. The problem isn't the fact that there's paid features, its the fact that things as simple as adding friends is hidden behind a pay wall. The paid upgrades aren't to give extra visibility or control as they claim. They simply make the app usable. Going live shouldn't be the only way to make friends on a friend making app. So many better apps than this one.
★★★★ Diwakar Sarangal 5/2/2026 v4.273.0
fudu app
★★★★ Aiden 5/1/2026
Attrocious paywall system, enough said.
★★★★ Roscoe Jean 5/1/2026
garbage app, tons of fake profiles. they just try to get you to pay for premium. dont waste your time
★★★★ Marck Rumbaua (Saichi) 4/30/2026 v4.273.0
Everything hidden behind a paywall... can't even see who messaged you unless you pay. Gotta tell people to message you on IG if they're even a real person... most likely bots pretending to message you so you pay to see their messages...
★★★★ Raushan Kumar 4/30/2026 v4.273.0
It takes our full information very bad I will not prefer this app to anyone
★★★★ Jesse Mudge 4/30/2026 v4.273.0
not impressed at all seems like a scam to me
★★★★ On TheWay 4/30/2026 v4.272.0
This app always ask for money
★★★★ Jasmine Mubarok 4/29/2026 v4.272.0
you have to pay for literally everything now. it used to be fun, daily log-ins for yubucks and pixels. now no more log-in yubucks and pixels are removed from profile. the swipe and message blast thing is so all over the place
★★★★ Arkam Fate 4/29/2026 v4.272.0
no matches, and it's pay to chat.
★★★★ Jason Kalule 4/28/2026
app is good no problem but everything for subscription in fact not subscription to money you have to pay too much app is for fun guys reduce the money so that we can enjoy making friends
★★★★ Some One 4/28/2026 v4.105.2
Kind of awful. They pay walled everything. Went from being an app where you could see who added you with daily login bonuses, now it's just all subscription based. No daily logins, the swipe feature I swear doesn't pop up with people who have swiped on you, it's just kind of predatory. This used to be a really good app, I think what made me stop using it is that they got rid of the daily login bonuses. It's not cheap either, $32 AUD for a month to see who reacted to your photos? No thanks.
★★★★ Vivek Pandey 4/27/2026 v4.271.0
achcha hai lekin Paisa mang raha hai
★★★★ Bee Lekishvili 4/26/2026

★★★★★ JAY Lamar 5/3/2026

★★★★★ ACHU ACHU 5/1/2026 v4.273.0
good
★★★★★ Ethan H 5/1/2026
the app is objectively good but charging money for everything just to hopefully find friends is actually sick I just don't understand what was the thought process...MONEY
★★★★★ mlb dev 4/26/2026
Good but the paywall is frustrating, I can't talk to anyone without paying, I understand other limitations but this one is just...🫤
