This app has gone WAYYY DOWNHILL, since I took a 4 year break from it. The app won't let me upload any of my photos,! Wen I tell it to save the pic, it closes down the app. I also tried to complete my profile information, & the damn app won't save any of it. 4 years ago, I had very few problems with editing my profile. Now, the app won't even let me COMPLETE the effing profile!!! i contacted support, & haven't heard a peep out of them. Don't waste your time on this!

The "currently online" feature almost never works correctly. In other words, someone's profile will show a green dot indicating that they are online, but then when you go to that profile it says that they've been offline for 2 hours or more. Also, the GPS function is oftentimes wrong. Sometimes a profile will show 2 miles away, when really they are 12 miles away, or vice versa.

It's probably one of the better apps amongst its niche, however a lot of quality functions are locked behind pay walls which makes it a little frustrating to use. I appreciate that the ads aren't horribly gratuitous though. This app is really good for just chatting with randos within an unknown distance. There's a good chance to meet some nice people on here but they're usually over a thousand miles away. Overall this app is hit or miss but not horrible. I look forward to its improvements.
