The filters don't work once you set them. A majority of profiles appear to be fake,even though you have to jump over hurdles to set your own. You can't swipe right on some profiles, not unless you pay. Even for a swipe? No you can't see who liked you either. Gotta pay for that too. Oh and every five seconds or so, an ad interrupts your experience so you either watch the trashy ad in full or close and restart the app. What's the point? The only thing this app does better than Grindr is not crash.

Everytime I log in I can't swipe through people because it's saying my location is turned off. It's not, I've checked my settings for the app and my location is on. I clear the cache and uninstall and reinstall to hopefully reset it and it still doesn't work. Also, about 90% of the profiles on the app are scammers, bots, etc.

I installed the app, I logged in with my Google account, it showed me which way to swipe, I turned down a single profile and then when I tried to go to my profile it showed an ad. ABSOLUTELY NOT, you couldn't give me a full minute without shoving ads in my face. there are plenty of ways to support an app with ads, but greed is starting to take over. Timers could have solved this - an option to pay up front could have solved this!. app developer used copy and paste response, of course.
