Still, every time the app gets an update, it screws something up in the app. Now their ads pop up all the time! Even while I'm in the middle of typing a message, which makes me lose my message. They also say "contact support and we'll help you", but then they almost never respond to your messages...and when they finally do (after I send a follow-up message asking them to actually respond), it's often just a form response that doesn't actually respond to the problem that I'm having. So annoying!

Horrible. Long ads for literally everything. The ads keep adding more clicks to close. Now it's typically 3 clicks but I've seen 4+. The app bans people with no explanation, and they are inundated with appeals, suggesting overzealous automation. Very limited grid, but better filters than Scruff, and people do seem to want to meet. Subscriptions are EXTREMELY expensive. App is extremely buggy. Conversation history still disappears routinely. Often must force stop the app to get location to work.

Unusable after update ONCE AGAIN. Problems from previous updates are back if you can even get into the service. The app is ruined! Garbage. The online filters are NEVER ACCURATE! INFURIATING Updates are always glitchy. The Xtra features should be free and ultimate features should cost what Xtra costs...if they could keep some consistency with these features, that'd also be just great. If I wanted a glitchy app, I'd have signed up for the beta program. Unacceptable, 0 stars. Stop paying for this!
