The worst user experience I've had in any apps on my phone. Everything is up-to-date and it doesn't work when it used to some months ago. Every time I refresh it says that location can't be determined. And yes, I've installed and uninstalled it multiple times. I really wish any of the other competitors eat you up and you have no choice but to do better as an app or end your services.

With every update this app locks more behind a paywall. If you don't respond to a tap immediately, it's paywalled. Add more than one filter and want to see more than 3 results? Paywalled. Messaged one person in explore but want to look at any other profile? Paywalled. That wouldn't be so bad if the pricing was acceptable, but asking €26 for one week of full access is insane. Having ads in a free app is fair, having them take 30s and requiring three stages of clicking a tiny X to exit is not.

I don't understand how this app is alive, let alone so heavily used and recommended still. you literally can't do anything unless you pay. and it bugs you every 5 minutes to pay. then when you finally pay, their settings are so restrictive ,that you can't actually do anything with people unless your literal only focus is to drive through random towns hooking up. it will not let you set a radius on your connections or searches and there are so many blatant fake profiles.
