It's glitchy when you sign up, and the choices/options are a little weird (a guy actually has "wealthy" as his badge???). I despise that if you accidentally match with someone you can only block them and that makes it appear they did something wrong and they get reported. What I hate most is not the distance algorithm doesn't work. It's the age algorithm. I have zero desire to see people barely older than my grandchild. it's annoying enough to make me want to delete the app and move on.

App isn't the best to use. The users seem real but no one ever checks messages even when they match. Going back and forth between profile photos is difficult at times as it will sometimes screen touch wrong and have you swipe up or down on the profile to match. The issue? Both up and down are matches. And you can't unmatch users. You actually have to go to your "liked" and block the user is you want to unlock unmatch. No luck with the app in any way.

I'm not sure I really like the UI. Even after I've paid for the sub, I get a limited number of swipes. I chose the nearby profile option, and the profiles that come up can either be far or nearby but not in any particular order. Sometimes, if I try to browse pictures to find out where someone is located, I end up liking them, then I can't find out how to reverse it.... it's just too much and too little at the same time. I just think there wasn't clear communication in development.

Our app is designed to show you a mix of people based on activity and proximity. We’re already testing out even better filters to sort out profiles; you'll be able to try them out soon. The undo option is not available yet, we hope that it will be in one of our next updates. Feel free to contact us so we can help you further at ops@downapp.com.
