★★★★ "Everything is hidden behind a paywall. It's a terrible app. You can't see messages or even who added you without paying, which is ridiculous. If we can't use the core features of the app, I'm sure many of us will end up deleting it." - Mason Bowen

★★★★ Mat G 6/28/2026 v4.286.0

★★★★ S K 6/28/2026 v4.286.0
you have to pay to do anything. to accept a friend request, to chat, to see who tried to add you. completely pay to use
★★★★ HMBL_ Smiley 6/28/2026
Trashcan app made by trashcan devs
★★★★ Zenildo Dende 6/28/2026 v4.286.0
Really good app, ads are annoying af because it makes u swipe right or left when tapping to skip, 6 years later now you have to pay to make friends, make it make sense
★★★★ Connor Downing 6/28/2026 v4.286.0
paid for the 1 week thing, took my money and never gave me what I paid for, says refunded but never got it back!
★★★★ shaun frenette 6/28/2026 v4.286.0
This app is no good! You have to add photos to see other peoples photos. But trying to load photos but cannot only gives four photos to choose from. I'm deleting this app
★★★★ Alberto Albert 6/28/2026
Went to Yubo because it was 17+ but i just received the notification that my account has been paused till I turn 18???? If that is the case then its an 18+ app and is practically false advertising its ability to make friends. do better.
★★★★ Jay 6/27/2026 v4.286.0
pay to win, I'll get plenty of likes but it'll never get recommend them to get a match.
★★★★ Happy Cat 6/27/2026
Really sketchy I can't lie... It displayed the EXACT town I live in on my profile and wouldn't let me hide it. The weirdest part about that is that I hadn't even given the app permission to have my location. I don't want people knowing where I'm from before I get to know them... especially considering that I live in a small town and not a huge city.
★★★★ Ninebreaker92 6/27/2026
im sure its good for security but no app will ever get my state information. they dont need it, and I dont trust "we'll delete it as soon as we have it". I already know such apps sell your personal info to third parties. easy way to get your identity stolen.
★★★★ Cosmin Gabriel Paunescu 6/27/2026 v4.284.0
Yeah, nothing's free.
★★★★ Subham Dutta 6/27/2026 v4.284.0
everyting us paid so no fun out there
★★★★ Cameron Novotny 6/26/2026 v4.286.0
Paywalls just to see people who will never reply to your messages or add you back on your socials if they're aware of you or recognize you at all. I'm also not giving out my socials just for some nutcases or stalkers to possibly dox my personal info if they manage to track me down and maybe hack you too. If the devs really want their app to blow up then don't paywall everything, make all filters and the nearby feature free, start taking down "influencer" ad accounts, and verify on sign up.
★★★★ Precious Wamae 6/26/2026 v4.286.0
you have to pay 4 seeing pole who see so it's a no and a big fail for me
★★★★ Mat Zan93 6/26/2026 v4.286.0
nice bait, not existing profile gonna add you and it said "someone added you to be your friend" if you want to reveal it you have subscribe. better Badoo instead.
★★★★ seandlny 6/25/2026
Nearly everything is pay walled (way too overpriced too) and majority of accounts are fake despite the store page saying the accounts are guaranteed to be real. total scam. avoid like the plague.
★★★★ Dolly White 6/25/2026 v4.286.0
might be one of the most annoying app ive ever used- I dont trust it, everything is locked unless you pay- It seems lame, not usable- too many old profiles not in service-They will use fake profiles to send you messages, rhe profile will be blurred or blocked until you pay- DO NOT FALL FOR THIS- THEY ARE FAKE TO FORCE YOU TO PAY!
★★★★ Ömer 6/25/2026 v4.286.0
Not usable without premium
★★★★ Belfaqir Med 6/25/2026 v4.286.0
baad
★★★★ Chris Morris 6/24/2026
Yet another fake free dating app. don't bother
★★★★ Zakop999 6/24/2026 v4.285.0
almost everyone is a bot
★★★★★ Angel (Prettyp25) 7/1/2026 v4.288.0
none of them are good
★★★★★ The grimm king 6/27/2026 v4.286.0
Pretty good. A little annoying that you have to pay to see people who added you but I get enough matches that it's not to bad. Actually it's stupid I understand stand the need to make money but it destroys the aspect 9f a social app if you have to pay to socialize
★★★★★ Yaroslav Yaroslavov (The Boogeyman) 6/27/2026 v4.284.0
everything is behind a paywall now, used to be free
★★★★★ Frimpong Gabriel 6/26/2026 v4.286.0
app always showing error and my network is strong contacted several times no help
★★★★★ Ipapiru Apa 6/25/2026 v4.280.0
not bad
★★★★★ BriBri brianna 6/24/2026 v4.286.0
They banned me and everything I think that's pretty whatever but it even says that you can make another account, so I'm trying to do that, but it won't work And this app they report you for saying a little cuss word like if you guys don't like it, then just put me in TimeOut or whatever I don't know like, come on, you don't need a banned me just for saying a cuss word like come on that's a little stupid
★★★★★ Kyle Ireson 6/24/2026 v4.286.0
my account was blocked for no reason and I can't get it back
