Too many long adds. But if you close the app and reopen it, it saves you time instead of waiting for the ads to display the X. Update: from 2 and a half years ago. More adds than ever. It makes the app almost unusable. Most of the time if I decide to open it I just close it and won't use it again for like a week. Then, repeat. Ridiculous.

Ads are absurdly frequent and invasive, premium costs an ABSURD price, the app glitches constantly not being able to determine location, profiles from 50+ miles away pop up at the top (including mine to other people so it's not from boosts), tabs at the bottom of the screen change all the time, and the favorites tab has now disappeared, even though you can still star people as favorites. It's sadly still the main dating app for gay men, though, so I guess I'm stuck with it as long as I'm single.

App has always been a little buggy but it's horrible now, even on my new phone. Ads every minute, takes forever to fully load up, sometimes deletes entire conversations by itself, sometimes won't delete messages when you try to, crashes frequently, and more. Wish I could speak about it better but it might be the worst quality of the popular app, honestly.
