Scammy App vibes, not a lot of communication. The sliding features for distance do not work. It's totally a bunch of fake profiles, and you are not able to see your likes. You have to pay to message, when you do, you can not view that. The filter options do not work at all. It was 30$ for the elite, and it changed nothing about the functions of the app. The boosts do not work. Very Scammy, dnt recommended.

The app is constantly glitching. Sometimes profiles don't even fully load and messages disappear only to reappear (after restarting the app several times). I paid for a month... but apparently need to pay more just to have my preferences be applied to my search. Sending me people that are 200+ miles away... The app creators need to do better on so many levels! I've canceled my subscription and when my paid time is up I will be deleting my profile! Don't even waste your time with this app.

so it seems everybody is real on there, so that's not a problem. but there's a few problems with this. upward will send notification after notification giving you nonsense, like most dating apps it's just trying to get you by the preview package, but even more frustrating is that it does not follow The settings you put in. I put in 50 mi from my location and after a few local accounts, It gives me nothing but accounts from 100 to 350 mi away. The concept of upward is nice, but it's not good.
