Ratings and reviews

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 disgusting. Really poor app. Do better Hornet!

Live verification (due to online "safety act") in the UK is asked. Pointless and silly on an app like this clearly just wanting more data (as they even mention they use Ai (checks and for music). Very unsafe, there are multiple other ways to verify people. In the age of Data safety this is ridiculous, don't upload your photo and don't agree. disgusting app I wish I could delete my data with them now.

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.
