The app doesn't ever want to open. Every time I click an archer notification I get a loading screen that doesn't resolve. You have to exit the app, force close, and then open the app. Every time. The notifications don't resolve themselves either. Open the app and respond to a message? The notification doesn't go away, you gotta clear that manually. They have an "archive" feature that doesn't work. Especially for the dudes who keep liking your photos repeatedly.

Overall, a pretty good app. works well and is decently full of good features. However, recently ive been getting shown only profiles that are hundreds of miles away even though ive set the filter to only 50 miles... yea makes the app kind of unusable at this point as im not seeing anyone i actually want to date due to distance

Compelling enough in concept, worth giving a shot but still needs time to build a diverse enough network. Docked a few points on technical aspects—most frustratingly, the app doesn't store message drafts if you swipe between different parts of a user's profile. Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic! Update: app is now crashing immediately upon launch. Edit: the latest update seems to have fixed the continuous crashing!
