About this app

Ratings and reviews

the idea is great. but the app itself is underdeveloped. when you get to the profile picture part of creating an account there is no visible buttons to select or confirm pictures. and it won't let you skip that step for later either. so its basically impossible. and if you do manage to get it to accept a photo, good luck putting any more on cause you can only select 1 picture at a time and everytime, again, no buttons. no next button no select button no skip or back button. theres nothing

Hi team, I have spent money on this application but my pro memebership is still inactive. I took memebership for one month.
