User reviews
Like most reviews I've read, I have the same issue; all the good features are locked. I saw a reply that mentioned matches can be found on the "swipe deck"; I checked and could not find it. So where EXACTLY is this swipe deck located on the BFF app? It's impossible to see who swiped right on your profile unless you pay. I shouldn't have to pay to find friends. That's absolutely absurd, and so are the prices for features that should be free. Oh and I should be able to filter the "plans"

Ryozi, 2024-09-27The photo verification process was stated as an optional feature upon signing up. I then got locked out of my account and was unable to access it unless I submitted photo verification. After exchanging emails with support, they confirmed it is a mandatory feature unlike how they advertised. Personally I am not comfortable with my face being uploaded to a server and scanned with facial recognition technology. Edit: reply from the company addresses exactly nothing I mentioned in this review

Elliot Fogarty-Wittstein, 2024-09-14I like the concept and I might have made a match but the biggest issue is having to pay to even see who liked you... Which kind of defeats the whole purpose of the app. Honestly would rather have ads. Please fix this. It's already hard enough to find friends as an adult, this was supposed to make it easier. P.S. don't respond with its free to swipe and match... Idc, if someone likes me, I would like to be able to see so I don't miss a potential match.
