This app is terrible. 30-60seconds long ads crash the app. I have purchased premium membership. I reset my account. It has not been restored although I use the same email. Unfortunately it is the onl...
Very good app Thank you for creating the app.

Awesome platform. Thus far my experience has been bot free. Unlike with Grindr and all their faux accounts.
Paywalled core features, scammy user base, personal settings being ignored, poorly translated app. And that was just the first five minutes of it. Install additional apps for extra functions? Nah, thx...
The entire Amsterdam feed is filled with people from Iran, Africa, and Russia using VPNs. It's impossible to use.
My account was removed for allegedly violating guidelines, but I did not violate any guidelines. I contacted support a week ago and still have no response. Please review my account and contact me.
full of Ukrainian and Russian people
Absolute horrible behavior of making your profile PUBLIC (I set it to invisible all the time) at the day they auto-charge you for subscription renewal. As a result, everyone can see my profile (though...

Logged out by the app updating, got asked for a password last used years ago. No biggie, I'll just reset the password right? 502 bad gateway error message. Amateur hr timewasting nonsense.
It's full of scammers and prostitutes, all operating in plain sight, and with nothing done about it when reporting. A basic safety and security feature like verification is paywalled which is disgusti...

I'm very disappointed with this app. It took forever just to open the app, not to mention that it keeps crashing, and I can't even open messages sometimes. Bad UI design, and overall very disappointin...
