Ratings and reviews

The bump (shake) feature does not work properly on Android. I tried multiple times and made sure all permissions are enabled, but the app does not detect the shake at all. This seems to be a common issue for Android users. Please improve Android sensor optimization or add a manual bump option as a workaround. The app has great potential, but this core feature needs fixing.

The permissions this app requires are invasive as hell. You can't access your gallery for your profile until you show them your face, the app requires you to have your location on at all times rather than just when the app is open (which is unnecessarily strict), and insists on changing my battery settings in my phone for performance every time I open the app. Functionally fine, but absolutely ridiculous.

The app is great, but it won't let me add any nearby locations. The only options are for other countries or places more than 40km away. It's not very useful if it doesn't allow you to manually add locations, even though they're visible on the map. Im from Argentina Buenos Aires btw
