Ratings and reviews

Great idea. I wish you make this app successful. Please remember that any failure that can happen will eventually happen. Humans are too complex creatures and you can't know their real intensions when someone download your app. I hope you have all needed mechanisms to keep your users safe and protected from the bad or even criminal motives of some people. I really ask you to take this advice seriously, work through the worst case scenarios. Good luck on your journey to success.

The app before was bugged, with this new update its even worst 🤡 the whole interface changed but making the app functional they don't care. The concept is very good but it matters nothing if the app doesn't work! Will give a higher review if the bugs are fixed and the app works properly.

As a solo traveller, I really want to love this app. A lot of the more commonly known apps for solo travellers are not compatible with my phone, so I was excited to find this as an alternative. Unfortunately the app is so slow! I've tried in different countries and haven't had much luck with the people on there, or overall user experience. It's too bad, because it's such a good concept and has potential to attract more users to the platform.
