Scam
It’s a total scam they flood your profile with really attractive profiles that seem interested in you and cap how many messages you send so you have to pay more in order to message a face the extra messages are outrageously expensive and when I tried to continue offline the “woman” I was texting kept telling me “our connection is worth it”, “I’d rather continue our connection on the app” even after repeatedly explaining how expensive it is and how I can’t keep paying and asking for alternative ways to connect that doesn’t involve dropping $25+ for 2-5 message.

So many fake profiles. I wasted way too much money trying to make a connection and chatting with fake profiles that just got me to spend more money. Not worth it in my opinion.

Not worth it
So pay $30 a month for what? I get it then I still can’t talk to people bc you need gems and when you run out you have to pay for more. You can only talk to someone for like 2 min or how many messages then the next day you can only send one message to them. It’s already $30 a month canceled the next day.
★★★★ Signaturex27 5/1/2026 v2.54.0
Refund
I want to cancel my subscription and get a refund. You make it impossible to talk to customer service.
You makes us subscribe and limit how many times we can message someone and try to make us pay more to continue talking. I only brought the thing because I thought it'd be unlimited messaging.
★★★★ Finn5786 4/30/2026 v2.54.0
Wow this is a scam
Truly I think all the women on this app are straight fake people I’m mean it’s crazy to me that every girl when I asked them out gave the same response “ I like talking online” it’s embarrassing to spend money on fake women this is truly the worst dating app I have ever used just want to go out with a somebody who appreciates my personality but it won’t happen if it’s only ai bots destroy me your app!

So many bots it's impractical. Very scammy vibes.
★★★★ Emmy_3236/ 4/28/2026 v2.54.0
I’m 98% sure this app is a scam and youre talking to robots
They try to keep you on the app saying things like “you care about me right” and “I don’t really have socials and would prefer to talk on here” after offering your number. Will update if I get any bugs from this app deleted from phone.
★★★★ Euro Gemini 4/28/2026 v2.54.0
Don’t like the app
Feels like I am talking to bots
★★★★ Vatican bc a 4/27/2026 v2.54.0
Full of bots, $$$$
Most profiles appear to be bots that are designed to keep users chatting so they will pay for gems to keep the conversation going. Gems are required to talk to others even with a premium membership. The app says you can talk to “regular “ users with the membership, but it doesn’t tell you that popular members require gems to talk, regardless of membership. Seems like they are all popular. Scam
★★★★ ChistianCC 4/27/2026 v2.54.0
Gems
The whole idea of having to constantly buy gems to continue to talk on here with someone is dumb. Why do you have to buy gems in the first place?!
★★★★ Blancag72 4/26/2026 v2.54.0
It’s a complete Scam
Once is a complete scam. The app is full of fake profiles, zero real interactions, and constant paywalls pushing you to spend more money for nothing. I gave it a fair chance, and it delivered absolutely no genuine matches or conversations. Save your time and your money - this app is misleading and not worth downloading.
★★★★ Aimperat 4/26/2026 v2.54.0
Money suck
It’s a money suck. The ladies just want to sext and never want to meet. Don’t waste your time or money

Fake!
It's just AI chat bots.
★★★★ Kvsmart428 4/25/2026 v2.54.0
TRASH APP!!!
This app is trash. Have to pay to send a “popular member” a message by purchasing “gems”. What constitutes a “popular member”? The person had one photo by the way. Can’t filter anyone by location- just by age- and then scroll endlessly through profiles to attempt to find someone in your nearby area. Have to pay a weekly or monthly subscription to see who views your profile, liked your profile…. This is one of the worst dating apps.
★★★★ Yovaltz 4/24/2026 v2.54.0
Scam
I have been on here for about 2 weeks and every exchange has been with a bot. I have had no interaction with a real person. I have two friends on this app that have had the exact same experience. Do NOT fall for this.
★★★★ Ironicallytrue 4/24/2026 v2.54.0
Dumbest app
The app is just a pitfall of expenses. You have to pay to even talk to someone. Waste of time and money. Do not use
★★★★ UmmmNope 4/24/2026 v2.54.0
Scam?
I’m sorry, but charging users per message they send is absolutely ridiculous! Not to mention, I’m pretty sure everyone is a bot lol in one day having three different individuals say “let’s just keep everything on here” verbatim…is freaking SUS!
★★★★ Munchey5 4/24/2026 v2.54.0
Don’t recommend
this app is extremely expensive. I paid for a premium subscription only to have to pay to send messages every day. and the guys on here don’t want to meet in person for coffee or let alone actual talk via texting or calling an actual phone number. makes me think that these so called good matches or conversations I had are fake and completely AI generated.
so don’t get this app. if you don’t want to pay $100 within the first week of making an account and the guy that you had great conversations with doesn’t want to do anything other then keep talking on this expensive app. I do not recommend.

★★★★ Barbara_princeton 4/21/2026 v2.54.0
Scam!
Too many profiles with modeling photos so red flag there. Responds at all hours of the night as if they never sleep so red flag there. It’s all AI bots. As soon as u ask to text the same Response is given saying they prefer to communicate on here. Red flag again. They make you constantly buy gems which drains all ur money. This is how the company builds profit. These are all fake profiles. I’m canceling my membership. No one on here has actually even been on a date with anyone if you read all the reviews. Bunch of bs. To the creator developer owner of this app don’t waste your time messaging me to this review. Move onto another dating app people! You are waisting ur time and money on here.

★★★★ KTheMan51 4/20/2026 v2.54.0
Scam App
You get flooded with “popular members” who are all bots and then they drain your “gems” which you need 10 of for each message that you send. Then the app asks you to pay for more gems in order to send more messages.
Edit: To respond to the dev comment, after some pretty decent conversations, I messaged 6 different popular profiles asking to leave the app so I wouldn’t have to use gems anymore and got the exact same word-for-word reply from all of them. And all of them within seconds of me sending the message. That is bot behavior. They may not be your bots, but if that many profiles on your app are fake, then that’s a problem you need to look into.

I regret going on this app !!! I will warn people not to use this app because they only want $$$$$
Stay away from this app if you are not a Donald Trump with all his $$$$. They make you pay for chatting every minute and seconds. Tinder , match and eharmony is still the best !!!

I’m so sick of these fraud dating sites where you end up chatting with bots and they pump you for “tokens”

AI BOTS! All fake
If you’ve used dating apps enough, you can tell if it’s a real woman. None here are. Ask them specific questions about their location and town and they can’t answer. Horrible.
