Ratings and reviews

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.

I wanted to like this app. And in concept I do... But the fact is unless you want to have a long distance relationship, this is not the app for you. Majority of all profiles I see are 500+ miles away then every 20th account I see one in 100 miles of me, which this app has made me feel like that's my only option. Outdated messaging, predatory notifications and constant intrusive ads for the other paid services the company has. If you're a genuine Christian, look elsewhere.

update: Zero help from customer support! Terrible. Don't waste any money on this. Even when paying, it gives you matches way outside your distance setting, and age settings. it's the worst one I have ever used. I cancelled it within 30 minutes of signing up. I still have a month left and it's the same over and over. Really terrible unfortunately.
