Ratings and reviews

Small issue. Ever since the ads for other dating apps have been popping up, shortly after I see one, I'll have to swipe past 1 account twice in a row. This hasn't had any negative consequences until today. Shortly after an ad, I liked an account, then the account repeated-- & naturally I liked it again since I thought it was a glitch. However, it turns out that they were 2 separate accounts, & I matched with someone I didn't like. Awkward. Now I have to ghost a poor guy.

My account got disabled within an hour of creating it. no explanation, no appeal process, just disabled. I hardly had a chance to use it, didn't post anything against TOS or even remotely inappropriate. and even with that being said, everyone who was shown on the app(with 2 exceptions) were over 100 miles away. not worth the time it takes to download.

Updating my review: After several years there is still no option to opt out of friendship. You can disable dating, you should be able to disable friendship. Also there needs to be a way to set hard distance limit, I have absolutely 0 interest in dating someone 500 miles away from me. However there are way better people on here than on other apps in terms of actually having values. No swipe limit is nice but I think I would trade that for being able to see who liked me.
