Zero stars. The app is a complete scam, The premium subscription doesn't allow you to have "Unlimited" texts between users and requires you to continue spending money on chat diamonds after you pay for a subscription except for boost items which only last a very short period of time then you have to pay for more. I'd be fine with paying if the prices weren't gouging and the app was a genuine thing but it isn't. It's designed to target and scam lonely single men with bots and trap them.

Hey! We're sorry you didn't enjoy the experience on Once. Chats with popular members always require Gems. However, the premium gives you lots of perks like unlimited chats with regular members. But could you kindly tell us more about the suspicious profiles at support@getonce.com? We're in full agreement with you and excited to upgrade our product.

Don't do it to yourself. I downloaded it, then subscribed for a month only to discover that 1. You can only send limited messages and 2. Not ONE person was even in the same country (despite it saying they were). People I did speak to, didn't even know the suburb i lived in, which was allegedly next to where they live! Despite having a subscription, i still needed to pay for gems. A complete scam and waste of money. Go to a bar instead.. more luck there i imagine!

Makes sense to get the first few messages free and then fair enough to continue the conversation you have to get a 1 month subscription but after purchasing the one month I only got to message a few more times before getting cut off again and told to pay another $12 to continue the conversation like I already paid for the premium so that I could message. I don't want to pay $12 every few messages just to continue the conversation that's the whole reason I paid for the premium service.

Hello! Thank you for your rating! Chats with popular members require gems, that's true. However, the membership gives you lots of perks. For instance, chats with regular members are completely unlimited :)
