Nice app, however there is a HUGE amount of fake profiles that send you multiple messages a day. Scammers or commercial links. Also the fact that you can see only one image of the user is a pity. You have to decide on if you want to contact someone based on one image? Overall, i don't use the app regularly because of the scammer profiles and seeing only one picture in the profiles. Both should be fixed. More control on profiles and a waiting time before you can contact anyone on new profiles.

Full screen adds with loud audio every time I want to access an incomming message. App eats outgoing messages, a real turnoff! No more blog function, what the heck. It's chock full of scammer/bots trying to lure you to their "links". And the search function is limited to 30 results, like really? I rarely use it nowadays because noone is on it.

Excellent fun. Yes, there are bots & scammers like all apps of this nature. One situation is while traveling overseas my account was "reset" and my app quit working until I got home, deleted, and reinstalled. Everything was there except all my conversations.
