Pure scam. You can barely talk at all unless you buy loads of credits and they will also trick you into getting a subscription that's absolutely useless. I suspect many profiles are bots (or people working for the app maybe) that will start a conversation, and since you'll run out of credits after 5 messages, you'll have to buy more. Really opaque system, weird practices... Don't get scammed like I did

Hello! Thank you for your rating! Chats with popular members require coins that are bought apart from the membership which gives you a lot of perks. For instance, chats with regular members are unlimited. But could you please tell us more about profiles at support@getonce.com?

Awful. Fraudulent. Even after paying for a premium subscription, you can't do anything because the app requires you to still buy "gems" to be able to chat with other people. What sort of premium subscription doesn't cover chats? That's the most basic feature! And when you say this service is subpar and request a refund the same day, they claim you've already used all your advantages. Their terms and conditions page has no refund policy so that's telling. Overall terrible experience.

Absolute SCAM! It's ridiculous - I had 6 promising matches and conversations, but all of them were AI. Ask for a photo "right now" - get some photoshoped studio photos or "I don't feel like it". Ask to move the conversation to WhatsApp - every single one replayed with "word to word" reply of "let's keep in here for a while"..... Absolute scam to engage in more conversation on the app and PAY.
