Doesn’t open at all
I downloaded the app but it doesn’t even open. Waste of time.
Dead & terrible management
The app is pretty dead. I know it will vary from city to city. There used to be a handful of people doing events. I wasnt using the app as much so I changed my pfp to an animated one. When I launched the app all functions were frozen until I did verification. This bothered me and I’ve never seen an app treat a user like this for such a small problem. You punished the user for your incompetence. This eventually led to a suspension when I did not pass verification (why would I want to bother re-verifying to a dead app). It’s also funny you require human verification when I’m sure 95% of the accounts created are bots. You really want me to believe 2,000 new users are created regularly in my area when the app activity doesn’t reflect that? Wanting a real person to re-verify given that is hilarious.
Verification is annoying
deleted this app once because the verification process took too long and about to delete it again. I think it’s pretty dumb that you upload all your photos and can’t even access your account for a day, verification should be mandatory but not this way. yall gotta fix ts
Terrible
First, I didn’t enjoy the app to begin with
Secondly, they banned my account for no reason. Every photo had my face in it and I even tried to verify it was me and they banned me

Super glitchy
Ive been trying to verify my identity with pictures for the past four hours and it keeps making me repeat the process.. and while its doing its verification process, Im not able to use the app at all, meanwhile it keeps changing my profile picture and not letting me use the app at all
Not Recommended
It keeps taking you to the page to invite people or it keeps taking you to the page to buy their plans. Just touch and boom you are off the page. If i want to buy your plans i know how to. But this forceful attitude made me uninstall it forever
Yall just want money for us to use the app properly
I just did about 10 swipes and u telling me to continue i gotta pay 12usd to get premium or wtv 😂. Try to make it more of a useful socializing platform with the free access cuz this app has alot of potential but u being too needy for the money is ruining it
App developers too greedy
This app is basically facebook but u gotta pay money to make friends lol i just add one person and the next they asked me to pay money unbelievable
App doesn’t work
So imagine paying for a subscription, then the app decides not to open. Tried to remove app then download again but no luck. I would never recommend this app to anyone.
I can’t open the app
I want to try and see what is belong but im stuck in the logo, i uninstalled and reinstalled it still the same issue
Cheap and Disgusting
I travelled to statue of liberty and i took some pictures. I uploaded one on belong. Within 5 minutes i got notification post was removed. It's not rellevent. They asked subscription for all the activities
Cannot Create Account
The app doesn’t let me create an account because it says “last name should contain at least 3 characters” and my last name is Li .. this excluded all Asians with a two character last name.. Wu, Lu, Le, etc.
Unfriendly application so strict
Hello I have tried this app to find new friends in my location but unfortunately it’s not friendly application to use wastage of time and they asking for subscription as well
Deleted right away…..
If an app requires sign up before allowing to explore what it is offering, I delete it right away. 99% of time such apps are not worth giving your email address or phone numbers.
Scammers
This App is terrible there’s nothing you can meet other than scammers and fake profiles. Plus you have to pay to use it. Absolutely not Recommended to anyone 🙏🏼
No content surfaced
Was not able to view any posts or groups. It said no content was available. 🤷🏽♀️ like the concept so might try again when there’s more users.
Avoid
App forces you to sign up and share way too much personal information before you can see any contents of it. Feels like a security risk.
Can’t sign up because my name is Ed
This is the first time I’ve ever had an app prevent me from signing up because my name is too short.
Shady
Couldn’t get into the app without putting in my nationality. Which wasn’t even listed. To honest with me it doesn’t sit well with me at all. Feels shady!
Very stupid app
The worst app I’ve ever used
Terrible experience
Whenever me and my friend try posting anything it doesn’t matter what , they reset your account and delete everything on your account. I had my for 1 year now and last night I posted something fun and casual and they deleted without explanation. My friend even got his account reset and is not allowed to make new connections anymore.
Don’t bother!
The app is full of Russian hookers and “male models”, almost naked, attention seeking women and desperate men amongst just a bunch of thinly veiled advertisements for crappy overpriced clubs, bars, brunches, etc. Actually disgustingly inappropriate the photos and videos that people are ALLOWED to post. Truly exhibits the ugly side of Dubai.👎
DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP
After installing there is no way to delete your account
Search filters are not working
It just shows you some fake account to steal your info
Do not repeat my mistake

You can only see people same language and region
Belong is very good application and still very n developing. The only thing I dont like that you if you are arab you will see only arab, and if you are from Europe you will see only Euro people. If hope developers can make it open so anyone can meet anyone and to have more culture diversity
Under experiments
App looks promising as long as it will work better than other platform and give more friendly user feature and useful options without paying.
Needs improvement
To upload pictures you need to come out the app to reopen for new ones, not that much ppl using it can’t find anyone in my area, waves should be free it’s a quick way to be friend and get more ppl engaged, lots of guys but connecting to women once you reach out no reply, the girls are like pulling teeth to hold, start a convo with or to get to come out, and need more ppl as some profile seem fake. Can’t find anyone in my area and that was the reason I join but search it always empty.
I wanted to elaborate since I’ve been in the house now or more again I find that you are so limited to do anything on the app is hard to make people you can’t see anyone who viewed your profile, you can’t see anyone who waves etc I think these features are causing people to delete the app because there’s no interaction is interested in talking or connecting with you really hoping they fix the issues but they’re more focused on money.
