Not a lot of matches in my geographical vicinity or age range (Australia-Newcastle 45-65). App recommends matches well outside of my age & geographical parameters. Even though I only signed up for a 1 month subscription, it is auto-renewed every month until cancellation. It is very difficult to find how to cancel the subscription. I'm not impressed."

I've used the app for about a year off and on and it has some major flaws and technical issues. The voice prompts don't work half the time and worse, the messaging tab often never loads causing matches to think you ghosted them for a couple days when in fact the app prevented you from replying. Don't waste your time with this app as it is barely functional and will frustrate you more than anything."

The app works well, and I like their system fine, but the voice notes fail to play for me roughly 50% of the time. If I force close the app and reopen, the same ones that played play and the ones that failed still fail. The bug is a shame because the ones I can hear are often exceptionally personal messages, that gives insight into people, let's you hear them, and represents putting way more of themselves out there."
