Scammy App vibes, not a lot of communication. The sliding features for distance do not work. It's totally a bunch of fake profiles, and you are not able to see your likes. You have to pay to message, when you do, you can not view that. The filter options do not work at all. It was 30$ for the elite, and it changed nothing about the functions of the app. The boosts do not work. Very Scammy, dnt recommended.

Lousy app. Why does it even ask for preferences? It doesn't honor them. Pretty much every person it shows me is outside the denominational parameters or other characteristics set. Those that aren't are ubiquitously 100-300 miles away even though I set the parameter to 60 to try to increase chance of finding someone nearby. Paid for a month's subscription. Already cancelled its renewal. Unless something changes drastically,nNow just waiting for it to expire so that I can DELETE!

Waste of time and money! -Distance! You set your parameters up to a max of 60 miles or its the USA. I have mine on 60. But 90% of my matches are between 200-500 miles away. -Getting the same people you already swiped left on again and again. -Limited preference search. You can only pick 3. Even if you pay for a subscription, it still only allows 3. -No anonymity. You can buy to see who likes them. I've had men message me just to say I was too far away. -Limited space to write on profile.
