I think this is a scam app. Nearly every person I clicked on had "none" listed all the way down their profiles. I believe their profile pictures are stolen and being used to fool people into believing this app is legit. Edit In reply: Ofcourse... Because you would totally tell us if you did have these "bots" wouldn't you?... Which is very interesting because I never mentioned "bots" in the first place. I said "I believe the profile pictures are stolen being used to fool people".

Hello. We literally have zero bots on our application. It is very difficult to detect people using someone else's photos. Please report these people so we will do our best to provide the best experience for our community.

I I like this app especially because it's free and there are reasonable number of ads. Video chat option is another plus. My only complaint is that the app does not enough users I hope they can solve it soon.

I honestly wouldn't recommend this one. Out of all the guys I talked to,most just wanted to show me pics of their junk (instead of actually chatting),two invited me to their WhatsApp,and one wanted help getting a Visa. 🙄 So if you're looking for an actual relationship, don't download this app.
