I'm not sure I really like the UI. Even after I've paid for the sub, I get a limited number of swipes. I chose the nearby profile option, and the profiles that come up can either be far or nearby but not in any particular order. Sometimes, if I try to browse pictures to find out where someone is located, I end up liking them, then I can't find out how to reverse it.... it's just too much and too little at the same time. I just think there wasn't clear communication in development.

Our app is designed to show you a mix of people based on activity and proximity. We’re already testing out even better filters to sort out profiles; you'll be able to try them out soon. The undo option is not available yet, we hope that it will be in one of our next updates. Feel free to contact us so we can help you further at ops@downapp.com.

Terrible interface. Trying to cycle through photos on a profile is unresponsive and often leads to randomly like a profile you didn't mean to. The matchmaking algorithm is broken as far as distance is concerned, with no option to restrict range. Only 10% of my picks are even located in the same metro as me. I live in KC and yet I see more picks in a small town on the other side of the state then I do in my own city. If you're looking for a hookup app that works, look elsewhere.

Hi Jonathan. Thanks for sharing with us your thoughts. Our app is designed to show you a mix of people based on activity and proximity. We do have over 15M users worldwide and see a good number of user activity each day, so we wonder if there’s something wrong with your account. Please reach out to us at ops@downapp.com so we can check this.

Initial loading of app is blocked by content filter for known trackers/malware domains. 2.74 million users are always online and never fluctuates. They have a map where you can match with online international users randomly, and it carousels between a few people. The profiles seem fake due to the high amount locally for 500k downloads. For all the profiles in my area, I've only received one view. I can understand if an app is small, but pretending to have so many users in the app makes it 1 star
