Ratings and reviews

Premium. When I open the tab in your location and browse profiles, the app automatically shuffles them from time to time, so some profiles move to the top and I can't see them, while others jump down and reappear. This is extremely annoying because I see some of them several times and others I don't see at all. Secondly, when browsing profiles in my area, for example, I want to block someone or add them to my favourites, and suddenly it reloads to another profile and I end up blocking

I've been using this app for a while now, and I've noticed a concerning trend. It seems many female users are very quick to ask for WhatsApp numbers, and after exchanging numbers, they often disappear completely. It's hard to say for sure what the intention is, but with the increasing number of scammers and fraudulent profiles on dating apps, it's definitely raised some red flags for me. I'm not sure what they're using the numbers for, but I've observed a distinct pattern. Just be careful!

Scam/waste of time. Claiming it's a #1 "free" dating app, so tried it see what goes. in reality if you don't buy a premium subscription, you get basically nothing. But even if you do, they try to charge you on every corner ("credits") e.g. to be able to someone write directly. Then, you don't see who liked you, in order to force you to buy more shows. The filtering capability is limited, in 2025. Uninstalled; didn't need it anyway.
