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.

keep the fake profiles off the app, and you'll get 5 stars (04/02/2024 4/5 stars) edit, new update needs work. when typing in a reply when liking a profile, and I leave app window for something else on my phone (Google search for ideas, text for spell check, weather app for next week's weather, etc), what I was in the middle of writing disappears, whole profile disappears, and I don't know if my like was sent or not. and if It was, it was sent half written!! unbelievable guys.. 3/5 stars 07/28

Good app, but needs a lot of work. It won't let me verify myself to use the new chivalry mode, photos take a long time to upload to your profile and it can't handle uploading multiple pics at once, and search filters really don't do anything. If these issues are fixed, then Upward will very easily be the best dating app on the market.
