Another dating app that wants to drain your wallet. The distance button does not work, constantly showing me people on the other side of the state ( roughly 4 hours away) and with the set up you can find a great person only to find out at the end of their profile they are a full on trek across. Not to forget the usual deluge of no responses and every click asking for you to spend $44 on a app that shows so little. I want to be positive and this app is better then some others but not by much.

Many of the female profiles are probably not active. Administrators of the app should clean up the profiles. At least it doesn't have as many scammers as the other dating apps. The app also doesn't adjust by distance properly. You end up seeing profiles over 100 miles away despite adjusting for less. i met a few people on here. always flings, and some of the same people cycle back in during the summer.

this app sucks. got one match and was left on read. don't have this issue with bumble or tinder. it picked up met some people. then it stopped working I hit up support to see what was going on. they told me my account was banned and wouldn't give me a reason didn't give me any warning. haven't been mean or anything just rejected people. I tried making another account but it's not working as well. might look for an alternative and delete it.
