Dead dating app
Very misleading on social platforms ads and when you pick your match out of three picks, you cannot talk to them until they match with you too which might take weeks or months because they also have to find you out of the three picks as well.
Hardly anyone active on the app, and some of the picks (people profiles) look fake or too photoshopped.

Please pay
Not worth it
Fake Profiles
There are fake profiles all over the place who message you first before you connect. But if you want to message them back, you have to pay. Feels a little scammy.
Horrible
Never any matches, you clearly just want money. Terrible app
Paywalls

Poor review

Avoid -SCAM
After 45 days and 270 profiles, i’ve written to around 100 women. I have not chatted with one person yet. I am not unattractive either.
Photo issues
Can’t even add a photo to my profile, I’ll go in and select a photo to use and it only gives me a option to rotate it, or put it back to its original upload, however there is no option to actually see the photo once you have it there, it’s a bad issue when you can’t even upload a simple photo to your profile. Don’t waist your time on this app, try hinge instead, easier to use.
It’s a scam. You can’t talks to anyone without paying money.
Far too many women in my DMs compared to my regular dating app experience. Weird botty “show me around town” ahh lines from the girls I “matched” with. Any man knows that women. Especially women on dating apps tend not to talk first. Don’t spend a dime on this thing
Concept Interesting, Bots
I like the idea, I don’t mind patience, however there are bots. It’s like some other dating apps which send you fake messages in order to try and get you to buy premium. It’s stupid. If you want a better app, try Hinge of Bumble, honestly the only good apps for serious things without excessive annoying paywalls. Maybe CMB too .
Scam app
This app is scam
Trash
Trash has no incentive to date … you can’t even swipe
Terrible app.
Don’t waste your money
Third world scam app
You can’t even message your matches without buying a subscription
Likely a scam
The women were supposedly nearby but subtle evidence suggests otherwise.
Fake app
Had this app for over 6 months it’s the furthest thing from user friendly and I never a match or even the slightest indication of one. You only get one chance per day to match with one person out of three and as far as you know they are just bot accounts
0 matches despite how much I use it
Waste of your time.
Waste of time
Don’t waste your time. They give you 3 profiles every 24 hour which you get to select only 1 person out of the 3. Later the ones you don’t select go to a “2nd chance” but you cannot select them unless a premium membership. i’ve been in few days and never matched yet. stupid
90% Sure Its A Scam
There should be a 1/9
chance of matching with someone everytime you swipe. Ive swiped over 18 times, and i havent matched with a single person, but i always get a notification stating that i matched with someone else. However, I can only see them if I pay for premium. Also, the number of users on here is a little too high considering the userbase. Theyre either showing long inactive users or making them up.

Waste of money
This app s@cks. There isn’t enough criteria to make an informed choice about anyone. The matching logic is whack. Couldn’t get anyone I sent likes to to answer. Not even sure they are paying attention. The whole thing is badly designed and badly thought out. Don’t waste your money
Horrible
I used this app for a few days and decided to get premium, paid almost $30 for a month and logged on one day, my entire account was gone matches, conversations and profile, just needed to start fresh. I emailed their support team and they told me to contact their AI dating profile assistant which also just didn’t respond to me. I’ve been waiting on a refund for about a week at this point but have yet to get a response from anyone.
Ridiculous
I think the idea of this app is so stupid , it will never give any chances for a match , it’s just like a gambling, you may like someone but no one ever likes you, it shows 3 options but when you choose one it will says between the others one person liked you and if you wanna know which one you should pay, just like the other apps it’s just a trap and for sure a scam.
Big Scam alert
I paid for the premiums. And all my matches were replying with the same broken English. Clearly taking photos from real accounts on other apps to fill up. All my matches text exactly the same thing. Biggest waste of money
Messaging
Article 4: Services and Functionalities accessible to members - this is the difference between Article 4.1 & Article 4.2.
4.1:
Each Member has an Account which allows him to use the following free Services intended to facilitate his connection with other Members according to his search criteria and his potential affinities: Accessing Private Messaging allowing to chat with a Member in the event of a Match
4.2:
Paid WAITER Premium services:
In addition to free services, each Member can benefit from advantages to match faster or more easily by becoming a Premium Member and taking out a WAITER Premium subscription.
Advantage #1 : a Premium Member benefits from 6 profiles presented per day instead of 3 and can choose 2 profiles instead of just one.
Advantage #2 : a Premium Member receives 1 tip every day by launching the application. Tips can be accumulated on his account without any quantitative limit. A tip allows you to choose a 2nd chance profile and two tips allow you to match in 2nd chance if the Member has been chosen by a 2nd chance person.
Advantage #3 : a Premium Member can send a personalized message to each person they choose without waiting to match. The person receiving the message can then accept the match request for free on a first or second chance.
Members who purchased the "Double Hit" option prior to setting up Waiter Premium receive benefit # 1.
Members who purchased the "Direct Message" option before setting up Waiter Premium will benefit from Benefit # 3.
My Gripe here is that I have a match on your app and I am not allowed to speak with her unless I cough up $30 minimum WHEN in article 4.1, whether it is calculated misdirection or terms of service of the old, it is still likely to be read by someone who would say, that it is insinuated that a user should be able to speak with their match without and trouble unless they were wanting to speak without being matched. I just question the authenticity of this app moving forward because, why can’t two people who’ve matched speak to each other? And why are your rules shady?/not clear?

Pointless
I have had this app for months. Never once received a match despite having several people “close to me”
I’ve made several other connections through other apps, so I know it isn’t me or my platform choice.
Waiter is a absolutely useless and pointless app. With zero user applicability. Thankfully I didn’t want any of my money on this wallet scam of an app. With all the “premium” membership offers. It’s a good thing I didn’t spend a whole bunch of money for no matches.
Get it together and quit wasting desperate people’s money and time. Greedy capitalist pigs.

Doesn’t make sense
So basically you like who you want but the ones who choose you you have to pay to pick😂 that doesn’t even make sense makes the app useless the concept is great but the execution is 1/5 stars
Never download this app
This app is a complete scam… fake people fake everything and is expensive.. save yourselves.
Bamboozle
I agree with the last review. This app is only here to manipulate single men into spending money searching for love. I found many profiles on porn sites or escort sites. I wish there was a law that would punish individuals for creating these fake apps.
Scam!
This app is 100% a scam. You have to pay in order to see and send messages. When my first subscription expired I got notifications from my “matches” that I had messages to read from them. Upon paying for a new subscription I saw it was literally just an ad from each “match” and there was no actual message from them. Any messages I received after felt ai or computer generated. Save your money. It’s predatory to take advantage of people who are just trying to meet someone
Scam ( save your money)
Most ratings here on AppStore for this app are fake.
You will get 0 match and when u do get match , app will ask you to pay more to chat with them. And all matches will disappear in less then 10 days.
Apple is allowing this scan to continue ?

Scam!
No real people here, only fakes!!!
Deceptive app
Says chat is free for matches on chat tab. Match then paywalls communication. These people are liars. Dirty liars. I’m not paying you to lie to me. Well they are right about one thing it’s free to download but have to pay after.
Then insults you by wasting even more time with unnecessary prompts instead of letting you delete quickly.
I swear one of the worst apps.

Long waits
You have to wait all day to just put one like for a person
Waste of time
Worst dating app I’ve ever been on this app trash. I wouldn’t waste my time on money.
Good concept, full of fake accounts
At least half of the profiles that pop up are fake and use stolen/hacked pictures from real people
Waiting
Idk- It’s hard to wait for a match and a bit frustrating to have to wait a full day to see any other potentials. I haven’t gotten a single match. It almost feels like you’re forced to pay for more than a month in order to possibly find a match. Even then, who knows?
All the profiles are fake, do not pay under any circumstance!
It’s a neat idea, which is why it got two stars, unfortunately it’s a total scam because every “match” or like you get will be a chat bot. Dating apps love scam bots because they generate subscriptions through fraud.
Do not waste your money lads! Dont be defrauded.
If you can spare the subscription money, trust me just donate to the homeless or set your money on fire and watch it burn up instead.
If you just want to waste your time on the can, the free features are enough to do that.
