Garbage app, overtaken by bots, and which costs way too much, and a free version that is nearly useless. The free version makes you see so many ads you can't close and you can only see about 16 profiles. You have to pay exorbitant fees to access most features. The paid version isn't worth it because of all the bots. And, if you it, they STILL constantly try to upsell you with more paywalls to access more profiles and features even if you are already paying $30 a month.

Quality has declined extremely rapidly over the past couple years. Over half the profiles are fake, literally using the same photos of the same people with the same bios. For some reason, people 500km away now appear on the local grid. Ads have gotten so invasive that sometimes you have to close the app entirely to get passed them. Used to be my favourite app of its kind, but I predict it'll be entirely unusable by next year.

the app has gone downhill...instant messages from bots like every 5 minutes. Updates every 3 days. ads every 2 seconds. no, i dont pay for premium but its gotten out of hand. Can handle ads as an alternative to paying for what any other app gives you for free, but its almost unusable and no longer the only app out there. Priced and over monetizing yourself away from the market
