Ratings and reviews

First, the app itself is incredibly buggy. I found myself having to restart the app at least once, and often multiple times, between each action I attempted. Second, its UI is poorly designed, often with unlabeled input boxes you need to guess at what to enter. And third (and most critical), there simply isn't any user vetting, so when I logged in to offer support (as an ally), I was immediately messaged by half a dozen cishet men looking for companionship.

I want so badly to like this app but it's unusable. Was able to get signed up okay when I first downloaded it but when I tried to make a post I was unable to type anything at all. Deleted and re-download the app and when I tried to log back in it claimed my email wasn't connected to an account. Tried to make a new account and again was unable to type anything at all.

Ad popped up in Reels and I loved the concept, sadly the app is a right mess as I can't even register. Fields (name, e-mail, phone, password) are not labeled and there are no tool tips. Phone field won't accept valid phone numbers and all attempts to fix the formatting (e.g. xxx-xxx-xxxx, 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx, etc.) are overwritten by +xxxxxxxxx. View option for password field also doesn't work.
