I think the potential is there, but I feel like it isn't really being used for its intended purpose. The app itself works smoothly enough, but in the few days I used it, and from the people I've interacted with, it just felt like another dating app. Maybe putting interests and bio closer to the front of the pics you set could make it so the people that see your profile actually read about you and go off of your personality instead of looks alone. Overall, could be better.
Reviews for Yubo: Make friends & chat now
Update to my review. Ater re-download I tried the discounted premium price for a while. It was okay, but for the amount they want to charge it wasn't worth the price. I'm now in the free version and you can hardly do anything. If premium were between $5 or $10 a month I would continue the service, and you would probably have a lot more PAYING members.
I remember when the app didn't use coins, then they introduced them and you would get free coins after waiting a day. You only had to watch an ad to double the amount you got. Now you have to watch an ad just to unlock the free coins they give you and they removed the double coins feature. Gotta pay money to see who added you because the app only shows a handful of the people that added you. And best of all, as of a few weeks ago; you now get random pop up ads. No reward for watching it.
!!DON'T IGNORE THIS ISSUE PLEASE!! I don't like how we have to pay to see who swiped right on us. That's just like paying someone to be friends with them and that is wrong!! Please make it to where we don't have to pay to see who swiped us! Also, I have 45 people who swiped me and I am not allowed to spend money!! Also the links don't work. And if you reply to me and ignore the payment issue then I'll probably uninstall the app. (I know, whoopidoo, just one person gone doesn't matter but still)
This app has the potential to be good and has some neat features (like being able to see people nearby on a map.) But it's also super dumb in some ways. I had to email support because I couldn't get my bio to stay up after updating it about 20 times. Why wouldn't it stay, you might ask? Because they don't allow you to have "married" in your bio. So bunk. I deleted my account after receiving their response about this. yikes. Also super monetized so there's that.
It's a good app. I hate how you can't see everyone who added you, and I think that the payed part shouldn't limit that, but instead maybe limit other things rather than ruin the functionality. Also, I'm really upset that you can't put someone's name in the search bar to find them instead of only the username. Very angry about that, since I lost a friend that way, and didn't remember his user to find him again. I would give it four stars if that was fixed.
First of all, everything is way overpriced and the app isn't worth paying for. Now that it updated, it keeps saying "Connection..." with a spinning wheel and won't stop loading. I've tried everything, even uninstalling and reinstalling the app. This app is a waste of time. Unless prices decrease or go away and the problems get fixed, do NOT download.
Good app. One of the last social/dating apps that doesn't require paying to actually get matched, but Jesus their bio content filter is strict. I had to rewrite my completely PG bio a dozen times. If they actually told you what specific word or phrase in your bio was "inappropriate" it would make it much easier to correct. Apparently the word "money" triggered the filter somehow, when I was mentioning saving up for college. Took a good 20 minutes to figure that out.
Not really a good app to make friends. If you're bored and want to chat with random strangers all over the world, this might work for you. I'd like it better if you could swipe right/left with people in your area and filter by common interests. Also, not enough people share enough about themselves. It's hard to swipe left or right when there's just pictures.
It was great. Met a lot of really really cool people. Really easy to navigate. Minimal ads (rarely got any). The messaging system could be a bit better. There were some times where I'd be in the middle of a message and it just stop typing or get rid of my keyboard on screen. However, I can't log into my account anymore and I'm not sure how to contact support so 🤷🏻‍♀️
