It's a very nice application.
This app is the best! And I hear the founders are kewl
Whatever you do not download this app i’ve had a really bad experience with this app two times one person asked for money and I said absolutely not. It’s a complete scam.
Been on here for months now and haven't matched up with anyone, this app made me feel like I was nothing because of that
My school is not listed and I have to pick one
It says you have a like and when you check it, it’s not there.
It kept saying the live video needed one more than one try. I kept trying for 30 minutes, it is supposed to take a quick video of yourself in real time. I have not been verified because it does not th...
Have being using Cerca for months now without any issues but all of a sudden it stop working showing blank but I keep receiving message notifications but unable to access it, pls fix it
Needing access to my contacts is completely unnecessary and feels violating
Been on there everyday swiping for 2 months and I’ve only ever gotten one match and it was a sex worker scammer. No need to waste your time with this trash.
So essentially the entire app is filled with bots. I was once told a saying that I think applies to this app. Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence and three times is a pattern. I talked with ap...
Kinda hate this app why do I have to refer people to meet people seems a little counterintuitive but I can see where it would be good in a way but it’s not for me.
But needs to be broader to find other members .
Standard features from dating apps that have been around for decades are almost non-existent This feels and looks vibe-coded
It won’t let me upload any pictures
Had a terrible time, three matches in the few months I had it. They were all catfish scams even though they were verified
The best app for meeting people
So I’ve been using this app now for about three weeks. Unfortunately, it has only allowed me to look at about five profiles since then. When I click on the X everything stops and freezes. And it tells...
to set up your account it makes you choose between being a student or a professional.. but i’m neither. i don’t go to school nor am a professional at anything. so what am i supposed to do?
I don’t know how to get my email to work I go to a community college
Basically, I have no one in my contacts because I am so lonely. I don’t have any friends. I have are my two sisters and my mom and it’s not like I’m going to add my contacts for this app dammit I am s...
Here’s a shortlist of why i hate this app: 1. You have to give full access to your contacts 2. No profile within an hour drive 3. You only get like 10 profiles to look at 4. You have to hold each car...
In a month that I got this app, every single match has been a scam.
Be careful. I got catfished
I really wanted to like Cerca. The idea behind the app sounds great; meeting people through mutual connections and creating a more trustworthy dating environment. Unfortunately, after actually using i...
First of all, 10 profiles every 16 hours doesn’t make me match with anyone I remotely find attractive or interesting …that takes sifting through a lot of profiles. Getting 10 a day that all suck is ju...
I’ve been using this app for a couple months and yea u get to see mutuals but just to be clear. Its randoms people that so happen to know ur “mutuals” and on top of that its people that u dont even kn...
Cerca needs distance and age filtering. I entered an age range and 90% of the people were outside that range.
So far there are no real women here, just a bunch of scammers trying to get money out of you
Despite 90% of my contacts being in the same city as me, 99% of the accounts that were shown to me were in Washington DC which is around 2 hours from me. Filters mean nothing and nearly every other ac...
