Scammers paradise. Stay away.

Can’t do more then like a few people without them asking for credit card to keep going! Not worth your time or effort to download
Just wow.
Where do I even begin, this app is not for the ones that don’t like to spend money. You will have to spend plenty. Chat=credits, credits can only be obtained from 100+ dollar purchases. Even if you match with a non-bot account, you have to pay to see and send messages, not worth the money or time. Maybe next time listen to the reviews AM!!!
Horrible
All these other reviews are bs, the app is slow, full of bots, and charges you for every single action you perform on the app. Not worth anyones time.
Too many bots. Too expensive.
It seems most of the profiles are fake. If you filter results to “verified” you only get a few profiles to look at. The most ridiculous part is the credit system. Credits cost anywhere from $100-$400, and you have to have credits to send a message, view a message, etc. Everything costs credits. Get as many winks and keys as you want. It’s not gonna matter if you can’t write the person a message or respond to them with a message. Pretty disappointed in this app tbh.
Have to pay to talk, worst app ever.
You cannot not reach out to ANYONE without paying. This is only for men. Communication is free in this world, why would I pay for this app when there are plethora of better ones. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!
Unnecessairly pricey
Way too expensive with every interaction money "credits" to see or send massages even.
Full of fake scammers
This is the worst dating app ever. At least 95% of the profiles are fake. No pic or fake pic. Just 1 pic. 5 digits at end of username. Generic one line write up and dozens of them wink or favorite you everyday. And, if you engage with them they quickly ask you to take it offline to WhatsApp or some sketch Chinese chat site.
If I can figure it out, I’m sure AM is well-aware but doesn’t do anything about it because there would only be about 5 people near you to connect with.
They also charge exorbitant fees to buy credits to send a message and they always run out far sooner than they indicate they will.
Total scam app. Go to a bar. You’ll get better results in less time and save money.

To high
Takes a lot of credits to send one message
Empty photos
How can I like anyone with blurry or missing pictures
TOOOOOO EXPENSIVE LIKE SCAM
They charge for every single word, stay away from this app,
What a joke
They want to charge you just to message someone back who messaged you first and you have to buy hundreds of dollars of “credits” to message. Joke of a dating app. Very little to pick from as well.
This site seems to always upcharge you for everything, like a pay as you go gimmick. Trash!!!
EatUhDee
Fake accounts
I have made contact with multiple profiles that use the same cut and paste one liners, to include emoji use and location within the sentences. So many fake accounts, a complete waste of money.
Scams
All scams
Don’t waste your money
I have been on this app for a couple of years on and off. I have spent hundreds on credit and have not met anyone real. Nothing but fake profiles and bots. Customer service is non existent. I would connect with someone, then they ask for a number, after I leave a number they delete their profile. Almost as if this app employs people to make you use your credits.
I’ve been blocked for creating an account
I’ve block for creating a account, but the app is available on App Store. I’m in Ghana can the system do something about it please
Rip off
Why do you have to pay credits to read a message and more credits to write back? Plus there are profiles on here that pretend to be real and start a chat just to take your credits. Very disappointed.
Nothing but a cash grab
What the app description does not make clear is how expensive it is to do anything without paying. Everything is behind a paywall if you are a guy.
Flush your money down the toilet instead
At least 75% of all profiles are bots sending auto-generated messages all day. The messaging feature is clumsy. In over a week I have gotten hundreds of auto-generated “hey” and “what’s up” messages, but NOT ONE legitimate reply. reply
Trash
Fake bots
Fake Users
This platform has a great deal of fake profile. Needs to be a better screen service
Not worth it
All they want is money to send messages
Lots of fake profiles
These site is not even the shadow of what it used to be. 99.9% of the profiles are fake. Mostly Asian “women” trying to sell you crypto. There’s a few of the verified profiles that are real but the majority of those are looking for a sugar daddy. If you’re looking for a sugar baby then look for young verified profiles. There’s that one in a million profile of a real married woman looking for a fling. IMO not worth the time, effort or money.
Most profiles are fake
As the title says, most profiles are fake or created by scammers. It is just a waste of money.
Doesn’t open
I can’t get it to load past the opening app name.
Terrible
This app is an absolute scam. They’re trying to make me pay money just to see a message someone sent me. This app isn’t worth anyone’s time, it’s the biggest scam I’ve ever seen from a dating app.
App keeps crashing
App is constantly locking up and crashing. I have the most updated app installed, and it still keeps crashing and locking up.
1 outta 10
Literally the worst experience I’ve ever had on an app. It’s either catfish trying to hustle you into Crypto investments or AM bots trying to initiate a convo. They just want to get that 5 credit collect message then 9 credit message cost out of you. Let’s not forget about the 1% real women on here that won’t talk to you or aren’t really serious about anything but you being a temporary ego boost.
Literally not operational without a subscription
If you don’t pay for a subscription you literally can’t do anything. I got a message from someone I liked and I can’t even read it without credits
Rip off
I paid 64 dollars and I only got send 5 messages and now I can’t even read messages ? Rip off
Don’t waste your money or time
For every real person you connect with, you will block literally 60-70 fake profiles that fill your inbox and make using the app impossible.
Total scam
Am I really supposed to believe that I get 500 likes in the first few hours of signing up? Come on. It’s all fakes and scammers trying to get me to spend money for a membership. Where is this companies integrity?
Lame
There are alot of scammers and not much support. Plus , now my messages aren't working. Most gurls are fake like 97%. Total joke.
Worst ever
So this is the worst most fake app I’ve ever encountered in my entire life. I spent over $300 messaging fake profiles. It is ridiculous. Every one of them was a fake profile and I messaged over 150 women they were all fake don’t waste your money the worst dating app everbiggest Rip Off
Unfair
So my wife and I started using this last week and the crazy part is she paid nothing to use it. Started getting messages the same day. I set mine up and I can’t do anything. Can’t see profiles, can’t see who has winked at me or has sent messages. I have to pay a minimum of $65 dollars just to unlock a message from a woman. Totally unfair to make men pay but the ladies get it all free
AI and bot spamming ruined a good thing
Unbelievable how AI and bot spamming has ruined the intent of AM. Good luck.
A TON of fakes and glitches
The app crashes anytime I try to buy credits. So went to my laptop and I got a message saying I can’t use my cc. My bank didn’t block cause I called them. The messages, winks, favorites come in all out of order and move one again after you view it. They cancel 10,000 fake accounts a day as told to me by a CSR. So out of the few hundred I received in a week, 5 were legitimate. I know this because I emailed them and they let me know they were banned. If you decide to email them to have a profile reviewed that can take up to several days. Sure you can report them in the site itself but when you do they automatically get blocked until the review process has been complete. If they are legit you won’t know unless you remember to unblock them. I will say you will get credits back for any fakes which again will take time. You could only message verified accounts but there are a lot less of those. Lastly is very expensive to buy credits. Lastly you can call if you want but lots of times it says they are busy and to call back. So unless you’re flush with cash, have a lot of time to try and get them vetted, or are willing to constantly wait to get credits back, don’t bother.
Awful
While there are a few actual people on here, about 95% are just catfishing and disappear the second they get your contact info. At least if you are a guy.
Tf
Having to pay to message someone is absolutely stupid
Bots and fakes
Very frustrating for men because we have to pay so much for credits and most get wasted on fake profiles, bots, multiple profiles of the same person with different pictures, escorts and overall money scams. Can’t Ashley Madison screen profiles and cut down on all these scammers?!!!!
Too many Bots
Where are all the real people?
What used to be a useful app for meeting new people has become filled with fakes trying to scam you, and Bots who take up your time and use up your credits. I will not be wasting any more time and money here.

Rip off
Charge men so much money and the profile of women are 80 percent fake. Charge men to message. Junk
Bots, Scammers, and AI
Absolute junk.
Do not join or pay
What a complete sham. I would wager 90% of profiles are fake. I bought a premier yearly membership and massive amount of credits. There are maybe 20 total user profiles with actual pictures in a 200 mile radius of my location. And maybe 6 of those profiles are verified. I am peppered daily by spam profiles requesting I use credits to read their messages.
When contacting customer service, I was advised all sales are final and they are unwilling to prorate or refund any amount citing their terms and conditions.
I’ve used other dating sites and paid memberships. This one is THE worst.

Not great
It cost like 100 bucks to even interact. There’s way better apps with lower initial cost
Scam Site
Be prepared to be scammed at every turn from the members and the app itself. It is built to confuse and charge users for every interaction. I joined and canceled within three days. It was intolerable.
Terrible
Expensive, full of bots, scammers, and people who dont respond and no refund for the bots and scammers wasting your credits.
99% scammers AVOID
POS app. Endless fake messages that are hard to delete from scammers. Even if I had real messages I might not ever see them because there are so many scammers.
No way to filter who can send you messages. AM loves it because if I respond I pay AM credits.
Don’t waste your time.
