UPDATE: Block list is fixed. Thank you! However, I have another issue. Can you please fix your chat functionality? It keeps failing to send messages even on the paid versions. I have to constantly restart the app in order to get messages to send. I am curious, why is this happening all the time even after clearing cache. Are you all not prioritizing the chat feature to make it more robust?

New ads which have several screens are annoying, and the close out menu is too small on purpose so you sometimes click the ad when not trying to. I am less likely to download something that is advertised this way. Some occasional glitches in different album menus. Location at times repeatedly asks for Google Location Services (which I don't want to use) rather than using the phone's GPS location.

You can't go in and out of a chat more than once without getting a FULL 30-second ad. It's outrageous! And the prices for 'premium' services?? Absolute scam. This app has so much potential. But CORE features are locked behind an ungodly expensive pay wall. I've watched as features that used to be available for free, get put behind an expensive subscription. It'd also be nice if I didn't have to restart the app four times to send a message without an error! Barely worth keeping at this point.
