Edit: I like the new updated UI, but that's it. The couple of matches that I've had don't reply, seemingly I have 4 likes yet now no profiles appear in the explore, and nothing happens if you click any of the tabs in the hub section. How do you match with people who liked you then? Is this deliberate to force you to pay? Update: 99% of the profiles are fake, absolute trash!

As others have said there's just not enough people on the app and there's a lot of fake profiles. I live in Seattle and also spent a week up in Vancouver and came across one other person on the map. This subscription is currently absolutely not worth the money. hppn's response to this review suggesting I visit more areas and keep location settings enabled is laughable. I have been all over Seattle and Vancouver with location enabled. This recommendation hppn trying to blame anything else.

Do not waste time on this app. The interface is good and I got intrigued to use it after a client suggested it's better than other apps in the market. I am sure I didn't cross paths with most of the faces shown up. I'm living in London and traveling to the city most of the weekdays and been swiping since some days. I have not received a like from the past four months of using it and after repeatedly following the procedure for verification, I'm convinced this company is unpredictable and no chan
