It costs so much to even talk to people. even with the premium subscription, it says unlimited chatting with some people but doesn't define who and it seems like its with no one. and only 2 free messages a day. the payment curve is garbage. at worst 1.5 dollars per message for only 8 messages. or 0.75 dollars, but you have to spend over 200 dollars!!! it is absolutely insane. I've spent an hour on here, had more matches than anywhere else, and I hate it more than anything else.

Sorry for your frustration. On Once, messaging uses Gems or a subscription. With subscription, you can chat unlimited with regular members (no flame icon), while popular members always require Gems, which can feel limiting depending on who you match with. We understand pricing concerns and appreciate your feedback. Contact support@getonce.com.

I see why it's called Once since after you'll use it only once and never again. I get not getting the subscription limits certain aspects but this app blocks you from everything. With Grindr, you can at least see a few people who like you or view your account but this app blocks all that. The profile customization is garbage with certain options not programmed correctly and some just not having more options to choose from. Worst of all is you need an app currency to even send a message. 0/10

We understand your concerns about messaging costs, limited features, and profile customization. Once uses Gems for communication with popular members, while an active subscription allows unlimited chatting with regular members. We'll share your feedback with our team. For assistance, please contact support@getonce.com.

had a previous review but decided to delete it and replace it with this. I've been a member for 72 hours and this is an obvious scam. During this time, I've had 29 profile views, 27 profile likes, 19 chat requests of which four of them were " a perfect match" and All of them require gems to interact with. Even if I got a subscription, because they were all 'popular members", I would still need to use gems. This is nothing more than a scam.

We’re sorry for your frustration. Once does not use fake or AI profiles. Messaging popular members requires Gems, while chatting with regular members is unlimited with a subscription. We understand your concerns and appreciate your feedback. For support, contact support@getonce.com.
