Ratings and reviews

The app is hit and miss. Sometimes you get messages without a notification or you get a notification but no message. It's very slow to update locations - several hours up to days. It's very slow to update who is online. The main page might show 50 users, 40 of them have not been online in the past 24 hours. The app needs a lot of work.

This app is in my eyes very basic and not used by enough people to even warrant getting the pay version. In the "nearby" profiles shown, there are about a third of them that are a reasonable distance away, then they jump to 50-60+ miles away! I KNOW there are other users closer that have been on within the last 24 hrs, yet aren't displayed! I'm really not interested in viewing folks from 100+ miles away that appear in the "nearby" section! Waste of time in my opinion.

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.
