User reviews
Lots of people showing up as close (in the first few rows at the top) but they are actually 75+ miles away. Same issue with other users seeing me as being close to them, but they are far away from me. My location is fine, and a see others near by that I routinely see in my area, it's just these random people showing up now as close when they are nowhere near. Always problems with this app it seems, things that are basic and should not be issues this many years in to development.

This app used to be better until it started sending it's own ads. It is also overrun with fake profiles promoting websites by sending messages. If you don't mind dealing with tons of fake profiles that pop up and disappear, it not a bad app. The latest "For you" feature is really annoying. It features profiles i have zero interest in and takes up a prominent area in the grid. It's just another useless update that makes this app less functional.

11/24/2024 Over the past year, the free version has gotten horrible! They continue to update and tighten the screws on available features. Around every corner, you get a screen wanting you to upgrade to pay version. It continues to be riddled with bugs, every update. The latest is taking away the ability to block a user, being replaced with Hide a user. The "For you" new feature is just another way for you the member to pay for something. Then there's the Never ending Ads.
