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.

App is decent for looking for relationship matches, very similar to other companies (even has advertisements for the matchmaking companies I wasn't interested in the first place), a lot of features are hidden behind a pay wall. The WORST is the customer service, or lack thereof. After a perfunctory "troubleshooting" email, I have had NO response after a week of daily check-ins on my issue, which was their messaging feature had a conversation "disappear" without warning. Still no response yet!

Paywall structure is confusing. When you pay down one for $35 6/mo, it doesn't let you know prior that there's 3 tiers. The second of which is $75 EXTRA. Same thing pretty much all dating sites are guilty of including non-Christian ones. Reducing rating even more. They've been doing other deceptive practices with this app than before. Like introducing streaks and manipulating it to where you're never actually rewarded.
