Horrible App
This app is a joke. I couldn’t even get into the app to use it. First off,I’ve never NEVER in 8+ years of using social apps seen one require a captcha to generate a profile. It wouldn’t have been a problem expect every time it generated one I couldn’t read the thing. After 5 minutes I tried to register and it wouldn’t send me a verification code on my email,I asked to resend. And it brought me to the stupid captcha thing,so I tried to log in through google and it took me to a separate site. Do not use.

★★★★ Not-a-fan-at-all 1/17/2026 v5.11.1
Too many ads- annoying
It starts with too many ads imposing on new users, so annoying. Then, it says no ad when a user reaches a certain level by spending money on buying its beans. But then it still imposes with many annoying ads after a user reached certain level. This is a deceiving app!

Very advertising and limited users
Advertising a lot a lot and a lot, cant skip also. Limited everything for non pay account. This app is so crazy and tired.

Worst app I've ever used

Can’t send images
What the hell? Can’t even send images simple as a box of shoes. It was fine just yesterday. I may have sent a few nsfw images when I see many others more sensitive in posts. What the heck?
What I found out that, if I bypass using a vpn, it works and then when I try again using the same vpn with the same pic, I can’t again anymore. It’s like hard flagging and banning any network I try and it stays banned.
★★★★ thijsdecker 11/29/2025 v5.10.5
trash app now
Ever since China banned Blued in Nov 2025, this international version has been trying to make up for the financial loss through third party ads, in-app premium nudge ads, and removing the ability to see who viewed you. The app became unusable overnight. Such a shortsighted cash grab strategy on the part of HeeSay - if they lose all their free members by ruining the experience, the paid members will have no one to talk to, and so then the paid members also leave. Ya’ll just tanked your app. Sad to see the self sabotage. This app was kinda fun but has become unuseable due to non-stop full screen ads and inability to see who viewed you. The app STARTS with ads. Stupid decision-makers. Enjoy watching your active user numbers tank. You did this to yourself.

Been Garbage Ever Since the Split from Blued
Free version is progressively more and more useless as iRainbow becomes ever more greedy and desperate. Every interaction seems to set off at least 30 seconds of ads. And then when you finally get beyond the ads, the functionality is severely limited. Want to any visitors to your profile ? You have to pay. Want to see more than just a small handful of profiles? You have to pay. Want to send more than one disappearing photo per day? You have to pay or get scammed into watching another advertising video after which the app shows an error message and fails to send the photo. You even have to pay for basic safety features like the ability to block more than a set number of users. Small wonder it’s infested with catfishers, pig butchers, and other scammers.

There are too many software for scammers.
There are many scammers in this software, and many people use other people's photos to pretend to be frauds and play with their feelings. Many impersonates come from Akron, the United States. I complained several times that the official said that they could not control it and let the fraudulent account be active and used normally. And the advertisements of this software are extremely frequent.

American: Useless App
8/14/25 - This app is not practical in America at all! I’m currently in Chicago and there are only 12 people in a 25 mile radius from me and within that radius some paying members make their profiles inaccessible. There are a multitude of features that are paywalled that would be free on Grindr and other American apps in general and makes the app pretty useless. You gotta make it easier for Blued users to transfer over to this app upon entering the States at the very least.
I deleted the app within an hour and a half upon download. Yikes, yikes, yikes. What a mess.
★★★★ JRF in USA 7/6/2025 v5.7.9
Maybe the worst
This app might be the worst. Of course apps need ads to make money, but this one has so many full screen ads that block the content upon opening and after very few clicks. It’s almost unusable. Plus filled with 95% scammers and imposters. So sad.

After EVERY action you have to watch an ad! Read a message watch an ad. Look at a profile watch and ad. It’s utterly ridiculous!
