Ratings and reviews

Update, after several days of trying and only getting the code 30 minutes after it expired, I was finally able to log back in. Not sure what happened, but as of today when I clicked on the app it would go through it's standard design when you first go into the app then it would freeze at a white screen. Un-installed and re-installed and now it won't send me a text so I can log back into my account so I've been completely locked out from the app.

Latest update broke sending images. You can't go to select an image to send in a chat as the app closes the second you leave it so when you select your image, there's nowhere to insert it to. The app also seems to 'refresh' Everytime you switch apps or leave the app entirely which leaves the chat you were in. It's frustrating and I'm unsure why this is. Edit: Both issues were fixed with the latest update!

The app seems promising, and i was excited to interact with fellow autistic people in my area, but i have one gripe with the matching system. There's not as many people in my area as I was hoping there were, and I made the mistake of being more picky than I should've, so I really wish there was a way to review your entire history of skipped matches. It's just don't really want to extend my distance for new matches when i don't have many travel options, but that's unfortunately all i can do. :(
