Ratings and reviews

It's ridiculous that this is the app that has the most expensive premium amount. People are actually paying for this app? You lose all your messages switching to a new phone. and then you have so many blank profiles in your nearby.. hahaha. Definitely not paying for this there are better apps for free and even come with mobile/ websites sites for those that want it on computer. Not sure what people are paying for. Someone unlocks pictures they want you to pay to see unlocked pictures. Never!!

Used to be a good app. However, as a user, I am now assaulted with interactions from bots. Be it notifications for messages/woofs which don't exist to fake profiles sending me messages containing only a link to a scam website. This behavior will happen within 1 minute of logging in. It has gotten to the point where the noise is louder than the app is worth. I don't see any action being taken to address this issue; neither application features or even communication strategies to warn users.

Every time I open the app I immediately receive an error message saying that it is down and try again later. I have the latest version and it has been this way for months if not a year. I dunno what's up and whether there is more information because everything I have checked just says "there's nothing wrong, update your phone." Did they push the tech so far that it just doesn't work on Android 12 or what's up? Android 12 still has two years til end of support, so unclear why the app simply fails
