Reviews for #Open: ENM IRL

I mostly gave the review due to the membership. I liked that you can make a profile for a couple, and both partner can have the profile on their phone, but if you want the membership, each person has to pay for their own membership. I think if they share a profile, they shouldn't have to pay for multiple membership. Just make a specific membership for partners or something.

Created my profile and started to try to use the app. Could only see one other person's profile, unless I specifically searched hashtags. This is my first time on the app, I'm not really sure what hashtags to search, I just want to be shown available potential matches like literally every other dating app. Then I got an error message saying the app needed to restart. Except when I hit "restart app" a message would pop up saying my account did not have permission to do that. Uninstalled

Great idea for an app and good design, but glitchy :( I got a match and when I try to message them back the app gives me a warning that says "too many requests" and then crashes. My poor sad match is going to think I left them hanging! Also it seems like there is not a way to click from the chat window to look at the person's profile. Overall I like this app a lot, but developers, please work out the kinks so that we can do the same !

Used to be able to see several profiles at once in a grid layout. Now they blur the photos unless you pay. Now you have to open one profile at a time making multiple clicks to move to the next profile. The app was never easy to use and the purposefully made it harder so people are forced to pay. Even before the app wasn't worth paying for. Now it is not worth using.

It is IMMENSELY frustrating to not be able to see the people who have liked you, or send messages to anyone unless you've matched, 😤 or get a subscription. I'd like to save my money for actual dates. The hashtags are a fun idea, but there is a limit to the number you can add. I like the positivity around the non-monogamous/kink community.

The concept looks great. As a free member I have not had any luck actually connecting with anyone real, despite having a large number of people liking. Because of that I am reluctant to pay, there are just too many apps with fake profiles. I keep coming back in the hope that I will make a connection and communicate with someone...in which case I would sign up.

This was quite disappointing. I got the app to try and I couldn't even get past the location page. I wanted approximate location and it forced me to use precise location which I didn't feel comfortable with. When I got fed up and clicked use precise location, it wouldn't allow me to move into the next page. It got stuck. Please do better. I would like to see this succeed.

Only been on for a short time, but mostly it seems like tinder with extra steps. The biggest issue for me in profile creation is the hashtag thing? It's so open ended that I found it a little daunting to set up, would be easier with maybe a few suggestions for each category. Also would like to be able to select the hashtags in other people's profiles

Logged on for the first time in a while lately. The app still lacks a really large user base. Lately there have been Notifications that all questions about your boundaries or other subjects, but clicking them brings you to just the app itself and also there's NO WAY to turn off just those notifications. If I turn those off, then it turns off all notifications for the whole app. Annoying"features" like this is how you keep losing users.

The user interface isn't difficult but is somewhat unintuitive. I've been using the app for a few months, and despite regular use, I have gotten no matches and as far as I can tell, maybe three people have liked my profile but haven't actually matched with them. Also, the matching function doesn't really seem to take preferences into account due to all of the straight men and gay women that keep popping up in my queue. Overall, the app works but doesn't fulfill its function very well.

So far loving the way the app is set up! It's a little slow because of the small user base, but once there's more people I'm 100% positive this is going to be the tinder for ethically non monogamous peoples. However, I do think that "doing away with distance restrictions" is not a great idea. Have it as an OPTION at least... I don't want to see people popping up who are literally across the country from me, because a physical interaction is very important to me and I can't do that cross country.

I like the idea of this app and the potential that it has. What I don't like is whenever I set a distance limit for profiles in a 50 mile radius it keeps showing me profiles that are further and further away. Then it forces me to adjust MY radius because instead of giving me the option to just scroll "NO" on the specific profile. I'm very annoyed at the fact that it has only showed me about 5 profiles that were in a 40 mile radius and its only showing me people further and further away.

The app is decent but has a lot of limits that don't encourage actually connecting with people, especially during the pandemic. I do appreciate the educational messages that come from the community though. I wish that more people actually wrote things besides "ask me anything" for their profile descriptions. You don't get to know much about who people are besides a possible pic and the few hashtags they use. Also, there's a serious lack of BIPOC using the app, which is super discouraging for us.

The app has a good concept, but I think if someone pays they should be able to pick and talk to who ever they want. I know your trying to be cautious but that is why you have a block so people can block other people if need be. Then keep the non payers where if they both match they can talk. I think that would get more people to join and your rating for the app would definitely go up.

So far its ridiculous. We've matched with a couple people but the app will not let us communicate nor let us add our Instagram. In fact I was scolded for typing it out because it wouldn't add it. What is up? Edit: The team worked really fast to correct the error (apparently multiple accounts were affected) notifying me along the way.

I so wanted to like this app. I could deal with the difficult/non-intuitive parts of the UI, but there is nothing in the free app that's functional. I can look and like, even sparkle someone, but if you don't pay, you see nothing. I can't see likes, sparkles, can't message anyone. It's never going to reach critical mass of people without some minimal functionality for free.

Distance. And then you put a little note that says "connection > distance". Excuse me? Some of us can't connect over the distances you're suggesting, and that is in no way a decision for a low-tier app developer to make. Really thought this was gonna be the app that could help me actually connect to people like us in the area. Instead it's Facebook friends with a tinder mechanic. If it wasn't for that, maybe a 2 or 3.

Needs to be more intuitive. Previously, I was struggling to only see profiles over 100mi. I'd rather just be told no one is nearby but there's no max distance. I thought there was no deleting in boundaries so I had Age as a hard limit instead age play for a while. Maybe put under that section's title to drag and drop? I spent a lot of time clicking in frustration for nothing to happen. I've seen this issue on other profiles like from lack of knowing. Will keep only in hope of more user traction.

Just deleted my account. I liked the hashtag system, but the app is poorly designed. They warned me that I had to remove something from my profile... Then it wouldn't let me because the save button kept disappearing when I went to edit. I even took a screenshot to prove it, but it wouldn't let me send. Not the first time I've had tech trouble with the app. They have potential, but for now... Not going to bother. I'm burnt out on dating anyway. There needs to be better kink-friendly dating apps.

Pretty good app. Great flexibility in how to describe yourself and your relationship, and it's easy to filter the sorts of profiles you'd like to see (such as filtering out couples' profiles). Significantly more users now compared to a couple years ago! A few minor difficulties, like not being able to delete hashtags from the preferences tab, but for an app from a small company, it's totally understandable.
