Ratings and reviews

I used it for a while and met some amazing people and made some friendships that are going on 2+ years right now. I recently re-downloaded it and you can't log in. It looks like it's no longer supported, but I couldn't find anything official...looks like the devs just walked away.

Great concept, but there's a lot of bugs. App worked well for me for about a week, then suddenly it wouldn't load anything. I could still see message previews in my inbox, but couldn't open them because it said the conversation hadn't been loaded (despite me refreshing the page). I would still be notified about matches via push notification, but the automated first message wouldn't appear in my inbox (even though that person was added to my Vina list). Re-installed and can't even log in now.

The worst thing about this app is the fact that the push notifications are VERY hit or miss. I log on once in a while, swipe through some people, and then forget about it. When I come back to the app a few days/weeks later, I have messages I've never seen, and when I send messages back, they end up not being seen. It creates dead conversations. Recommend fixing notifications. The intent of this app great and it would be nice if it worked better.
