Ratings and reviews

Please, please, please, so more ads! Especially, the same three full screen one every time I open the app. You know, the ones that disrupt and distort the user interface. I especially love it when after the ad is up, it messes with navigation on a profile. Or the build up of ads in the messages screen with the super small X to close. Or all the ads in the profile grid! And my fav, the up sell ads when you reach a limit, the fantastic one that covers 75% of the screen and is unmovable.

Kind of a decent app, but they've recently been getting more and more persistent with advertising things like boosts and their other platform, even if you have Pro. You can disable ads in settings and just opt for "critical scruff alerts" but that apparently means that they can annoy me about purchasing boosts and other things that I have no interest in, with no way to dismiss them. If I'm giving you money, I expect to not be annoyed by things like this.

Pretty decent app for a hookup site. It functions similarly to grindr, but I like that it has a bit more like a matching system (Tinder style) and a spot where you see who likes you with no blurred faces. Generally, it provides a lot for free users. The reason for 4 stars is just due to preferences. The filter system is limited, and the demographic is mainly middle-aged and older men. There is nothing wrong with that, but I wouldn't recommend it to younger guys who want someone their age.
