Totally ridiculous that they can't fix the ongoing issues with the app's filters. Over the last TWO months I've repeatedly reached out to the customer service / techs and still I'm having the same issues - filters don't stay selected. They just POOF! and disappear almost instantly!! It shouldn't be that difficult to make a selection, save it and it STAY saved. It should not keep going back to generic defaults everyday. Get it to gether guys!!!

I'm on a 3 month paid plan and used the app extensively. While it has some features that other dating apps don't, I was quite surprised to see how small their user base is in many countries. And my observation is based on one simple filter : users online at a normal time. As with others apps, there are still plenty of fake profiles. Combine the two and apply one's filters on top, and you're left with a handful of matches. Statistically speaking, a waste of time in search of a great match.

Honestly, I am extremely disappointed with this app. seemed like I was getting a good amount of matches, but it turns out the majority (like 99% of my matches from what I know of) are just women from overseas who changed their location to be in my area. Specifically the Philippines and Africa. I don't want to be matched with people who just spoof their location. Also the app itself doesn't even let me use it unless I'm connected to wifi which is absolutely stupid.
