I'm okay with the one star because visually it's a great concept. However, it's mostly bots and AI profiles. It will show you a lot of "locals" but they're 9/10 times not real. This is TERRIBLE. Scam alert 100%. It costs to keep conversation going, higher price for a frequently messaged profile. Predatory at best, what a disgrace.

We’re sorry you feel this way. We do not use fake or AI profiles. Messaging popular members requires Gems, while chatting with regular members is unlimited with a subscription. We understand your concerns about pricing and experience, and we appreciate your feedback. For support, contact support@getonce.com.

I do agree with the profiles. Alot are far too perfect photos and again tend to be mostly the "popular" ones that seem to be bots(again local ones). They immediately match and message just after "viewing" the profile. Concept isn't bad though. There needs to be a way to facial verify and see the profiles are verified(with a check mark or something) and are real people.

First of all, I noticed the part where they wanted to verify your email for 50 credits or whatever that call it doesn't work. It would be nice if the profiles display age to them as I clicked on to a few that was out of my age range that is set. And I thinks it's a bit ridiculous that some profiles have a lot of photos of themselves nothing wrong with that just saying, half a dozen is more than enough. Maybe if possible to re edit search preferences so, you can get a better and accurate match?
