I'm glad I read the reviews before trying it. I may have been disappointed if I expected something else. If your intention going in is to see a diverse amount of faces, practice taking selfies, and make friends around the US- you're in the right place! I like that it doesn't force nonbinary people into misgendering outselves like tinder, and that I can truly swipe mindlessly since I can't read anyone's bio until we match. It is easy to use, no bugs, no complaints. nice design too.

Still needs work. While I like the concept of getting to see people unfiltered, live pics, there aren't enough users, and there is no distance filter, and to be even worse you can't see anyone's profile or where they are located unless you match. You can tell how desperate they are for users because you can't even purchase premium features like boost and super like, you have to share with x number of people and they have to sign up and make an account to get the perks.
This app worked for a couple days, but now I can't post my "daily shot" so I can't use the app to it's full extent. I've tried all the common troubleshooting you would normally do for a phone app to no avail. Technical issues aside, I have one issue. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to view profiles, so all you can base your judgement for swiping on is the other users "daily shot", most of which don't really speak much about a person since they all seem to be in a car or at home.
Location filters please?!?!? The profiles appear to be real people, so that's good. The problem is that there seems to be no consideration for location. I keep getting matches for people all over the country and rarely in my area. You can set you location, but there is no filter for location, only for Gender and Age, and it only seems to follow the gender filter. I'm 48, I don't really have any interest in 18 and 19 year olds, but that's the bulk of what's being sent to me.
Terrible experience thusfar. My location is off by 50 miles minimum, can't see their profile to know what they're looking for, the daily adds have no face pics even though they clearly state your face needs to be in the pic.. A disappointment to say the least. I had high hopes for this one too based on the advertisements! 😢😢 I say don't waste your time unless they get these issues fixed! I'd give it 0 stars if I could!
not very user-friendly. Nearly everyone it shows you is in another state. The only way to see where they are from is to awkwardly double tap around their picture until the profile opens up. the picture in the actual swiping part of the app is cropped down to the top half of your screen and hidden behind their name, the selection icons and the front camera image. If a user is 'popular', you can only like them with a paid membership.
I want to like this app it seems real, .however, I live in a sparsely populated area and after one round of voting, it has been 24 hours and I can't see any more matches to swipe on. I have one like from my first round, and I would happily go premium to see them, but I can not invite any potential users as all of my friends irl and on socials, at least the ones I would feel comfortable inviting are in an exclusive relationship. i I will have to delete drop toone star after another 48 hours.
Location about 160 miles off with no way to change it. Shows people well UNDER my set age limit (my min is 26 years and it shows me 19 year olds). No way to view profiles before matching so you only see the two photos, and that defeats the purpose of setting up a profile. Update: got a few matches and guess what? They're in COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STATES. This app is worthless
Honestly, the fact that there is no location filtering is kind of an app killer. Even if there's not a ton of users, you can't force people to be swiping with people hundreds or thousands of miles away. The response that, "as the app grows, more users will be shown in your area" is a cop out. The app won't grow if people get tired of impractical matches. Edit: dropped from 2 stars to 1 because no location filter is REALLY bad. Also, top user thing is really annoying (can't like without premium)
It's not bad. The only 2 issues I have is that you can't look through their profile unless you match and the filters don't work (I set between 22 and 26 but it showing people over 30s or around 18). Also a small thing which is I tried putting a pic of my dogs cause I like animals but it said it wasn't allowed. It's nice that the app is free and easy to use though. Definitely one of the better apps but it does need a little work 👍
