User reviews
I don't know if this happens because my location but I have the feeling of that I'm talking to the same person over & over - no matter which and what kind of person I get in touch. Conversations always unfold in the same way. There are also "hello" people. They write nothing but hello couple times. I think those are bot accounts. %99 of the profiles are fake; using photos of young men but account owner is 50+ years ago. There are lots of scam artists too. I finally ended up deleting my account.

A lot of bugs and just a terrible UX I offer you my help with all of this for free

This is a really bad app. They don't ban accounts that do wrong. They don't investigate when you report them. If you play, be careful of scammers who take your photos.
