Ratings and reviews

Features that are free on multiple other dating apps are not free on upward. The social section is nice and it has a great set up. Easy to learn and navigate. Does not seem like fake profiles, but the distance setting does not work. Still believe Hinge is still the closet app for dating that allows you to communicate easier and not hid behind a pay wall. At the end of the day, talking to people is free. If you want to be an outlet for user to find connections, you shouldn't ask for money to talk

Okay, I just got this app, and it looks nice at first. I don't think there's a limit to likes. However, you cannot see who liked your profile without paying 60 dollars as a subscription, which is hilariously predatory. I'm not sure how you're actually supposed to connect with others if you cannot see who's interested? The app doesn't even function as a dating app, it might as well cost 60 dollars upfront to do anything. I was disappointed.

not happy about the fees; I paid a small fee to be able to go back on a profile I accidentally swiped away on, believing that paying for the upgrade would allow me to see my likes, too. Nope that was an extra $60. So, I just lost $20 for no good reason and there are no refunds allowed. So apparently you pay little fees here and there and not all fees unlock parts of the app, but that part isn't made clear til its too late. Honestly, some purchasing transparency would be nice.
