Ratings and reviews

On day 1, when I was typing my bio it would type all weird, had to restart the app to fix it multiple times. After the first day everytime I go on the app it would ask me to confirm my bio. No big deal, but when I have to do that everytime I click a button in the app that is an issue, plus when I do that it doesn't take me back to the page I clicked on. It takes me back the main page. Preventing me from going into the settings and matches, which prevents me from messaging people.

Does the minimum (profiles, mutual or one-way likes, chat function). But Chats, the most used page, is clunky. The text box doesn't move up far enough and is half covered by my keyboard, making it a challenge to type messages. I had to watch my autocorrect suggestions to look for typos, and to move the text cursor, either get it on the first try, or press enter a few times to get the line wanted into the sliver of text box visible. Lastly, the text box does not expand beyond 2 lines.

Despite the app's best efforts, I found a roommate and made a few friends besides. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because the concept is neat. However, that's where the good ends. It has multiple times sent me twenty or so blank notifications in the middle of the night. When I received a message, it didn't notify me. Sometimes all notifications disappear entirely. For the sake of all the new students next year, I hope my university finds a new roommate finder system.
