Ratings and reviews

This app has too many broken or poorly designed features. I decided to pay for the PRO version to see more profiles, but the grid remains pathetically limited. Everyone's profile picture is awful because it gets automatically cropped in the worst way possible, even after you select the crop region yourself. You only get to see a single public picture per profile. The search function only gives you a handful of profiles. It's just all around poorly designed, with no improvements over time.

Poor customer service Pretty sure I've left a review already, but sure, I'll leave another one at your request. This application has suffered from the same error for years. If you change applications while loading it, it results in a permanent error that can't be resolved without re-downloading the application. As all the messages and history are saved within the application, it is all lost in doing so. I've sent 3 service requests over years and they all go dead silent.

My chats seem to be down. It says I'm getting message notifications but the chat windows are blank, even when I try to send messages. They are not even appearing in my read messages or unread messages lists. Not sure what happened as it worked up until the past few days. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app with no change. :( I hope this gets fixed soon!
