Ratings and reviews

Ads are getting out of control. It plays ads when you open the app, reply to messages, and sometimes in the middle of typing messages. Plus, they are locking more and more free features behind the paywall. For an app that needs to be force closed and reopened just for the location finding function to reset, the corporate team should focus on making an app that works before worrying about why people won't pay $20 a month for an app that doesn't work, doesn't combat spam, bots, and scammers.

The functionality of the app itself has gone from bad to worse. Most times when I open it, the grid or my inbox fails to load. Even restarting the app doesn't help. This is on a new phone on strong WiFi or 5g. When loading a profile, it has a weird behavior where every few times it won't show the profile picture but instead jumps to the second or third picture or to the locked album. Totally random behavior.

This app now has more ads than profiles. Tap a message? Ad. Leave the message section after watching an ad? Get another Ad. Got a notification because someone tapped you? Get an Ad while trying to clear the notification. Want to get rid of ads? That'll be $14 per week. And, to top it all off, the app barely functions now. It's constantly throwing errors like "can't update your location."
