by Q####:

I don't understand why I can't put a profile picture of me holding my nephew but then other users can put just their tourso or them wearing underwear and can see an outline no face or even just a a picture of a unanimous item like a brick wall! And that's the reason I am deleting this app and going to recommend Grindr or scruff...

by Q####:

Only downloaded Dec. 4 17 and it's ok so far! Can use some upgrades. I'd like to be able to save certain men as faves easeily. The price to join pro is reasonable. Too many robots who I believe to be scammers.

D70%
by D####:

A lot of guys are asking to have some features like smoker or non smoker, top or bottom. But 90% of the guys use blank profile. no pictures, no age, no weight. they are so dumb to fill out profiles. and then they get offended when u ask them about all those stuff in a chat. put them on your profile so we don't waste our time chatting nonsense so i know u are not a match. I suggest including the date the person joined the app on their profile. a lot of shady people on here. you guys need to take security of users seriously..

Q70%
by Q####:

Constantly has loading issues. And now full screen, unskipable video ads. And the ads are not even remotely related (female beauty products for example). The app is on a steady decline. Won't be much longer before it completely does itself in.

Q70%
by Q####:

Its annoying that people with pup hoods and costumes can put their pics up without a problem. But the moment you stand out, the lazy moderator starts to do his job and pay attention to photo guidelines.

T70%
by T####:

I think the customer service is terrible. 6 times today I have reported a 14year old user actively lookinv for sex. Ive also emailed them. No response. No action.

Q70%
by Q####:

Something I find really annoying about this app is that no matter how high or low the volume is the message tone is always the same: full blast. So often times I missed messages because I have to have it on vibrate because I don't want it to be so loud. Seems like it would be an easy fix in the software. I would also agree with others that blocking people should not have a limit. That's just a safety thing. That said I love the app and it's improvements over the years! I love the blast feature for advertising and flash unlock too

F70%
by F####:

Grid view looked horrible with the big fat white gaps between the profile thumbnails. Also made the thumbnails small & ugly. Can't you remove the unnecessary gaps?

Q70%
by Q####:

This app is garbage. I have to close and reopen it for messages to be delivered now when there's a notification. I'm on the latest version and have used the app for years and the program stability is getting worse over time.

Q70%
by Q####:

The concept of this app is good, but messages keep going astray and instead of being social, it appears you are being anti-social, because the intended recipient of your message doesn't receive it all of the time. Also, I constantly get the "growl has experienced an error" message for no apparent reason, i.e. in a strong signal / good wifi zone. This app used to work really well, so I thought I would try pay version... but it really isn't worth the money. Additionally the location where I am is 300 miles away!!

H70%
by H####:

I recently had my pic removed by admin claiming it wasn't a pic of me. It was a very clear pic of my face. Something wrong with these rude fools !

M70%
by M####:

Purchasing app you still have very limited views & functionality. Why can't users see everyone & have unlimited blocks? (too many crazies & no control over it ). Pop ads on free version are annoying AF. overall free experience doesn't give you a warm n fuzzy to make you want to purchase & support the app, which I used to do. The ability to re- lock other people's pvt media when.they unlock their nasty pics would be great.

This is suck..keep saying experience error since few days and I send the report few times, never happen

Q70%
by Q####:

Another hookup app with guys who only want to chat and share pics but no action. Also, way too many relationship, partnered, and married guys on here who claim "happily partnered" but "looking". There needs to be a separate app for singles only. Cancelled my subscription.

by Q####:

There pop adds but so fat really hasn't been a problem. So I just hope it stays that way . Keep the hot men cumming !!

Q70%
by Q####:

It keeps saying location services are required please go to location and security setting and enable my location but my location is enabled and active so the problem is this app I have reported it many time and no one is helping

Fix your God dam app 3 days I've been trying to log in again and it's stuck on the loading screen I've used my phone tablet and I pad they all do the same

My phone keeps uninstalling something wrong. Okay after a week i think i fixed the problem

M70%
by M####:

Still doesn't have voice clips like the iOS version, and hasn't had a UI update like the iOS version either. Google has updated their design language a few times, and yet the Android version gets no UI love. Messages still disappear, can't save messages from one phone to another, updates add features for paying users while making non-paying users left to less and less. You're driving your base away. If this app was worth the subscription, I'd pay it, but it's not.

Nobody near ann arbor. Nobody wants anything but talk and pics. Waste of time

Unlimited blocks would be a vast improvement...clunky, badly designed interface.

Pay extra and still jump through hoops to block things

Have not been able to load this app in 2 days

Q70%
by Q####:

Good, but can you at least make the 'block' feature have images you sent through messages unseeable or unviewable. So far, I like the other features.

Q70%
by Q####:

User interface is not that good Also many basic stuff require pro

Finally got it working after months for Oreo for Pixel XL.

Q70%
by Q####:

This app serves it's purpose, but it lost a star because when I instinctively try to zoom in on photo it saves it to my image library instead and I have to go delete it.

Q70%
by Q####:

Got a new phone and this no longer works. What a joke.

Q70%
by Q####:

The best app to find a friend and etc. I have a suggestion for this app ,,can it have a map,, so that if a bear is near ,,they can locate each other or something

Q70%
by Q####:

Good app but they need to make it compatible with ios 11 so you can used it on an i pad or i phone

S70%
by S####:
