It was okay. I've since uninstalled the app. I had 20 matches, and a total of 3 actually messaged me. A lot of bots/scammers/dead accounts. Largely unmoderated and no way to verify an account to stand out unless you pay for premium. There is a chatroom feature but I have a few issues with it. First of all, the language used in the room. It would be nice to have actual rooms for different languages. Another issue, blocking seems completely useless. This is a problem... people can be really toxic.
Reviews for purp - Make new friends
← Back to purp - Make new friendsThis app is always coming up with some type of issue. It's annoying and completely un-usable at times like just now it popped up with a message saying it "we couldn't find anyone meeting your criteria" I clicked try again mutiple times it just keeps coming up with the error and it says I have no friends and no messages. PLEASE fix this immediately I just met someone cool and now I can't even talk to them.
I think the app is pretty good but a lot of people don't have a bio and not to mention a lot of people are always talking about getting freaky and it makes me uncomfortable. Also, you need gems to swip right on people and that's annoying and incredibly unfair. The app is for finding friends and possibly even love but we have to buy gems or watch adds for gems just to even do that. I find it ridiculous but it is well made and I use it frequently.
One of the worst apps to find friends or even a possible relationship. 95% of the profiles are either fake or most people aren't even online and it's just old profiles left behind. And the majority of people you swipe right on? Almost 100% of the time never accept your friend request. Want to communicate with that person? GOOD LUCK getting them to respond. In my experience nearly 100% of the time NO ONE communicated back. Absolutely uninstalled. Too many fake profiles and not enough real women.
The app works pretty well. It doesn't cost much to add people over app, and it's very easy to stack up on gems. The only problem I'm having is with the friend request After an update to the swipe feature which now allows you to send a request by sending a message, any requests that's sent with a message doesn't allow me to accept or deny their request. Whenever I send a message back, it doesn't give through and resets. But this doesn't happen if they just swiped right.
It's a pretty cool app, I've met some awesome friends on here! One problem I'd mention is that many people are looking for innapropriate interactions or nudes, so if there was better monitoring it would be a lot cooler! Yeah, so if you're not okay with seeing that a lot I suppose these kind of apps wouldn't really be for you, but idk. Also, it would be awesome to be able to pick interests instead of writing a bunch. Totally cool, try this out!
The app keeps glitching out and will stop letting me type and won't let me leave one of the serves called lofi Bar. I asked other people if they had experienced the same thing, and they said yes. I would have to shut the whole app down just to get back in it. There are some nice people on there, but there is a lot of racism, a lot of people saying the n word, there are creepy men who will spam text u and stalk u. The app is very disappointing.
I really love how I can see when a person is typing and online. Its look is so fun and meme-ified, even if I'm not going to chat I love going on to look at how silly the app design is. It would be nice to not have a short limit on video sending...but what can you do. Verification would be nice, but I think it has a face feature one or something.
I've gotten many matches in only a matter of minutes, most people are looking for inappropriate interactions, but that's what I'd expect from any app like this. I love not being timed out for small things like I was on another app, though I wish people would answer more. It seems that you get one text in then they disappear. The app is also slightly buggy, it's not a huge problem you just have to close the app then open it again. Overall I love this app! Great interactions with people!
This app is worse than most dating and friend finding apps I've used in the past. you can't even find people local to you and a person's interests show up as a small icon and it isn't always clear what it's meant to be. when you click on the icon it doesn't tell you, either. The chat room sucks and is a bunch of teenagers erp'ing, bots swarm this app, and there are no filters for things like hobbies (just age and if they are in your country or nationwide),
It's a great app, I love how you don't have to pay for gems. But sending pictures is a bit of a problem because you can't send the whole picture, it makes you cut it into a square. Sending videos also seems to be a problem as it doesn't send them at all. Edit: The sending messages feature was great! I'm not sure why you took it back. You should at least let the receiver see the messages others send them with the friend request!
not as useful as I'd like, I was expecting a trial period and it charged me upfront. I was expecting to match based on my location proximity but it's so vast you match Anyone in the country. on that note, the settings I applied to age range and location don't work. I keep declining people because they're younger than I set and/or they're out of the country. this isn't a useful app without proximity; unless you only care to have online/long distance friends. I wish for a refund developers.
Its a nice app, very nice. My only dislike is that I cant set my city location, and neither can anyone else. I'd like to meet up with my new friends in person sometime, but I am NOT driving seven hours to do it. I'd like a filter option to have them filtered to a set distance away at maximum so that I can still travel, a reasonable distance, to see them in person.
I do love the app & the new updates, but there's a couple of changes I think would be beneficial to it. 1. Provide a filter that allows you to filter out people without a profile. Sometimes I'll swipe left on like 10 people in a row before I find one with a bio and it's annoying. 2. The word limit per text message is way too small and I often have to cut myself off multiple times just to send what I want to. Other than that, I've already made a couple of good friends and the app is pretty neat.
Great app,love it. I think some changes should be made. Adding a few more interests would be great. The word limit should be expanded for messages and the bios. It would also be great if you can put an option of a country you'd want to find people in. That would be great. Overall, good app, could use some changes though.
I'm having my photos taken down for showing my shoulders. my LITERAL shoulders. if you consider teenagers' shoulders and collarbones sexual, that's creepy. also it says i get friend requests but they don't show up. otherwise, it's a nice app. It's nice how easy it is to make friends without a paywall. it's sleek and fun to look at with the little characters and design. Just needs improvement.
really mid, actually. There's a really strange array of interests you can list, and most of mine weren't available. Way too much needs to be paid for. I had a completely innocent bio that fit guidelines and it was deleted for being "inappropriate" or something. UI isn't the best. Way too limited when there's better options out there.
The app itself is a great concept, however there are a few issues with the "friend request" feature. This may be an issue that only I have, but others may have it too. Essentially, I will be receiving notifications from the app that people "want to be my friend" all day long, but when I long on in the evening there's almost never a single request. Besides this small inconvenience however, the app overall is amazing. It's very easy to find similar interests, and reporting accounts is simple.
Edit: I've had this app for more than a year now. I've talked to a handful of users, mostly dry conversations; some were exciting. My problem with the app itself is that obtaining gems requires you to wait for long periods of time for an advertisement to load, the button for which, rarely functions, and the boosting option which allows your profile to be more visible to others, has been devalued and expensive. The boost once covered a scale of an hour to four, which has been lessened to 45 min.
it was fun at first and really enjoyable, now it's stupid and on the verge of deleting. I've found if you're wanting to make friends in your country, you'll still be shown to other people in other countries. I also can't swipe if I like someone anymore, I had 10 swipes I think and it takes me to a page where I either pay for purp+ or watch ads, I have an ad blocker on my phone so I can't do it either way. There's a chat hub and there's a bunch of people talking and they all ignore you, don't try
