Way too many limits
Can’t see likes, can’t like back, can only send a few messages, paid subscription required to message or like many members. The old web site was way better.
Edit: you can’t even see people you match with, which is just dumb. The only app where it doesn’t show mutual likes.

More bugs than a flea circus
They intentionally ruin all the functions of this app and mess with your settings to get you to subscribe. My profile is stuck on likes. Can’t see friends or views or any other option. Ores almost like the developers are trying to strong arm users to pay for a subscription

GARBAGE APP
App is quite literally trash I feel so bad for the people that paid for anything let alone downloaded it. Wish I could give negative stars. Terrible.
★★★★ idontgiveashitabputanickname 4/30/2026 v13.3.0
Poorly built app
No point selecting what you’re looking for in search. It just shows everyone
★★★★ AuruneMusic 4/27/2026 v13.3.0
Paywall and no quantity
Everything, even messaging is locked behind a paywall. So I paid for a month subscription, and I can only swipe right (send a spank) so many times for the month. Why would anyone pay for this?
★★★★ :$$((6)?) 4/26/2026 v13.3.0
Horrible support
I have been attacked twice now in public chats for being American. The first time it was about to people attacking me the 2nd time it was 2 people. I have contacted support around a dozen of times and nothing happens just robotic responses. I made a 420 reference the proceeded to get attacked for being American. A fetmod contacted me saying I did wrong and that he can’t even find any reference to America. Then his next response was him saying he thinks I’m lying and then right after that admitting to seeing all the message logs. It has been the most unprofessional experience I have ever had with a company. I’m really surprised this app hasn’t been shut down just on all the hate on Americans alone. The mod that contacted me was fetmod-rc he has not helped me at all. And I have caught the mod alone in a few lies.

Poor support, buggy app
I’ve been locked out of my account by a glitch that started happening 5 days ago now. Support is unable to assist me or add any time back into my paid premium, ultimately stealing the rest of my paid time. Do not give this app any of your money until they hire a decent support team and fix how buggy this app is.
★★★★ LionMan95 4/26/2026 v13.3.0
Scam
They force you to pay a ridiculous amount to get any sort of matches and the user pool is very limited. It’s a shame apps like these are designed so poorly by greedy developers.

Unsatisfied user
I can’t unpause my account. I’ve entered tickets twice, I get an email requesting more information. And silence.
I’ve gone through this process twice. Sent follow up emails, with no response.

Pay to Message????
You get one free message per day. After that you pay to even talk. There’s not a lot of people on there. Very poorly designed app.

Can you rate zero?
Works one day and then the next you have to upload a picture to verify your identity… Another day goes by still working on verification of your identity 🙄. Then the whole process repeats until you get too old to see your iPhone anymore, all the while they charge you for another week for an app that you can’t even get into. Do yourself a favor and don’t fall for this like I did.
★★★★ Diamante007 4/21/2026 v13.3.0
Not worth it
Unfortunately, less than 10% of the people on here I would even think about matching with - not because of kinks. They allow profiles with no pictures - and the attractive people I would consider matching with cost extra, beyond the subscription price. It’s been a week and I already have no desire to log on.
★★★★ BAILEY15284 4/21/2026 v13.3.0
Account banning
I used to be on the app but now whenever u open the app it just gets banned immediately no warning whatsoever what is wrong with you all even after my verification you don’t give me back why??
★★★★ Boooooooooo1620 4/20/2026 v13.3.0
Hookers
I can only find hookers on this app they say it’s a dating app but I have found no one that’s wants to date just ask me for money like hundreds of women how does Fet not know what’s going on
★★★★ Bunnybootati 4/20/2026 v13.3.0
This app sucks
I litterarly got banned for the dumbest reason, as a findom this app should’ve supported all kinks. It’s literally a fetish that’s common. I was basically discriminated based on a kink that I liked. Again this is a fetish site that should support all kinks yet findom is not on the list? The app is pathetic. Not recommended, just use fetlife it’s better.
★★★★ Kodiakteddybear 4/18/2026 v13.3.0
Not worth the trouble
This app only works if you pay a lot of money once you pay the money to get the premium service then you have to pay more money to talk to half of anybody that is on this app. There are tons of bots and people do not respond so I believe you should save your money and not download this app.
★★★★ ieosksksiwksksj 4/18/2026 v13.3.0
NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.
ALL MEN. GAVE TO SPEND MORE MINEY AFTER PAYING FOR A SUBSCRIPTION. THIS APP IS THE WORST APP IVE EVER SEEN. I would LOVE MY MONEY BACK. and

waste of time
app is clunky, community is horrid (weird men + bots), and account will randomly get flagged for “wrong gender” (i am a cis woman) so that’s just awesome all around. don’t waste your time on this app

Caint message people anymore
This app use to be great you could find real people and get to know them. The people are still out there to message but now they are all behind a pay wall. If you aren’t willing to pay for a membership don’t bother getting this app.
★★★★ Katty0228 4/13/2026 v13.3.0
Awful Customer Support
When I downloaded the app I tried four different times to verify my account. The app immediately rejected my photos and refused to verify me.
When I contacted customer support via email, they sent automated replies that didn’t help in the slightest. They also emailed me back copy and pasted versions of the email I sent them asking for help.
I keep being told to message the support team on the app, but only end up talking to an AI chat bot that tells me to email the support team.
Now my account is blocked and I can’t use the app.
★★★★ RLE2015 4/12/2026 v13.3.0
Expensive
Too expensive with repeat profiles free version is full of stupid ads that last 5 minutes I’d rather pay a onetime fee to fully unlock the app
★★★★ AHRIMANCP 4/12/2026 v13.3.0

Pointless. You have to pay an app to pay to send messages to ugly fat women 600 miles away. Not worth it.
★★★★ RoninCronin 4/11/2026 v13.3.0
Ads
Well I’ve been on this app for a couple years had no issues. Now it’s ads literally every 10 seconds if you don’t pay for premium. Ridiculous
★★★★ bird22bird 4/10/2026 v13.3.0

Catfishing
There is a person catfishing with my pictures on this app. Be wary of who you’re connecting with. Make them FaceTime you to confirm their identity. 3 fingers in front of the face distorts AI …. This guys is from Kenya asking for crypto … he will sweet talk you to buying it for him after investing a few months into the connection. He’s gotten 4 women with this charade.
The app won’t take him off….
Be careful ….
★★★★ Gildenstern 4/6/2026 v13.3.0

It looks like they are seeding with fake profiles. Every profile in my area was 5 months old with no activity. Don’t waste your time.

I try to do the photo verification and once I do it nobody’s is verifying it’s me so I’m like stuck

You cannot do anything on this app unless you pay into it
★★★★ dingo.riot 4/3/2026 v13.3.0
Worst App Ever
This app is a waste of time, money and self-esteem. You have to pay for every little feature. The people behind this app allow criminal activity to occur through their app. If you report someone nothing happens. This app is a joke. Oh and the ads of the most inane kind interrupt your "browsing". This app is a joke; and the joke is on you.

How is this still in the App Store?
I’m really surprised this app is allowed in the App Store. I’m seeing so much nudity scrolling through the main feed. There doesn’t seem to be any way in app to authenticate age beside asking for age. Reporting profiles seems to do nothing. I expect it to be wide open on the website but the app needs more restrictions. This app has content guidelines but it looks like they’re not being enforced.
★★★★ Cr*71 3/26/2026 v13.3.0
Waste of time and money
Bought a year membership. Deleting my account after 3 months. I’d rather eat the money than let them continue to harvest my data for this scam site.
★★★★ Buttopietro3 3/26/2026 v13.3.0
Just wants your money guys
Tried this app for over a week and got decent traffic but to do literally anything they want you to “subscribe”. Any member you wanna chat? Gotta pay. Want to just like someone? Most times gotta pay. 90% of the app is pay walled. I’ve used a lot of apps that have pay to enhance features which are fine. At least those I can chat with people I match with. This one is just pay to literally do anything. It’s not worth it guys. Plenty of apps around that at least have usable free options. Just use those.

Non stop ads
The most intrusive ad based experience I have ever had the displeasure of going through. I hope you have a deep well of patience for garbage.
Developer responded feigning shock that their app sucks to use.
Who is in control of your experience? You are!
So you CHOOSE to bombard your user base with terrible ads over and over. Don’t play innocent - be better. Save your empty transparent apologies for someone foolish enough to listen. Miss me.
★★★★ West1285 3/15/2026 v13.3.0
Don’t Buy Premium
I purchased premium because just like all dating apps you can’t see who likes or message most of the ppl using the app. With that said regardless of you buying premium or not buying you still can’t see who visits you or anything. With premium it would tell me someone visited me but not one would be shown on my “checked you out” page. Then with the free version it just blurs out the faces. I reported that I wasn’t able to see the ppl that visited my account when I had premium they said it’s because those ppl are free users. But out of no where the moment I stopped paying for premium because I couldn’t see who visited my profile tons of new ppl with blurred out faces started showing up. This app is a scam it doesn’t matter how much you pay they just keep wanting more. It’s not enough to get a subscription out of that doesn’t do anything. Also even if you do have premium you can’t message over 50% of the ppl on the app they require you to send them a “kinky gift” even if you send the the kinky gift it doesn’t open up the ability to have dialogue. Every person I did eventually talk to. We just ended up using a different app because this one is ridiculous. I can understand a subscription if it unlocks everything but when the subscription doesn’t even do anything it’s just a scam.

Ads are awful
Ads don’t let you get to the app. It’s totally unusable unless you pay for the app. Even then it’s mediocre at best.
