Ratings and reviews

I see the potential for the app, it has a unique set up. But it was pretty aggressive right up front to show off that two of the key features of the app are paygated behind the membership fee completely. This app feels like it is required to be paid for use, that even in a trialed period where I am trying to figure out if it will work for me before shelling out money for the app, I can't even access half of the interaction features in limited fashion even.

Compelling enough in concept, worth giving a shot but still needs time to build a diverse enough network. Docked a few points on technical aspects—most frustratingly, the app doesn't store message drafts if you swipe between different parts of a user's profile. Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic! Update: app is now crashing immediately upon launch. Edit: the latest update seems to have fixed the continuous crashing!

Obviously has glitches that prevent basic use of the app. I see a lot of people are having issues with the verification process, but I can't even get my 6 digit code to begin making an account. Edit: I finally got in after 8 months, but now I'm unable to verify. I understand the need for the feature, but whatever AI thats running it is broken. Definitely not giving this app another chance.
