Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Garbage + Fake Accounts = This App

★ · v1.58 · Sep 23, 2026

This app is honestly garbage. People are scammers on here. Not only that, the blocking system sucks. Random thot bot accounts sending me explicit photos, that I don’t want to even see. And how come the female accounts get to message you but you can message them. There are some real accounts on here but rarely. This app is so one sided. Unfair payments, fake accounts, and also predators on this app to. No moderation at all whatsoever. Honestly I would rate this app 0 of 5.

App no good never never

Don’t waste your time

★ · v1.54 · Jul 25, 2026

This is one of those apps you can chat but only for a few minutes and after that few minutes you have to pay more credit just chat to someone. Yeah this is the biggest scheme ever.

Wrong charge

★★ · v1.54 · Jul 15, 2026

Went to buy the 9.99 package and was charged $44??

App sucks

★ · v1.53 · Jun 23, 2026

For an app saying it’s 5 stars I’m sure seeing a lot 1 stars . Nobody wants to pay constantly just to talk to someone. And I’m I’m just gonna get some ai response saying thank you for the review and nothing is gonna change

Waste of money

★ · v1.53 · Jun 8, 2026

I just paid 9.99 and I still can’t message have to buy Candy to be able to text I’m guessing that’s how the girls get paid

★ · v1.53 · Jun 4, 2026

Terrible app , earned $22 but suddenly got permanently blocked, no reason what so ever , please unblock my account , I emailed too.

Scam

★ · v1.53 · Jun 3, 2026

They said that the Live Photo I took for verification was ai generated. Mind you, it’s with their camera, not an upload. Read the reviews and don’t waste your time.

Scam

★ · v1.53 · May 26, 2026

They steal your money before you can collect it

★ · v1.53 · May 15, 2026

Don’t bother trying to work on this app because they will find some made up reason to delete your account and steal your balance.

Don’t bother

★ · v1.52 · May 1, 2026

This app is god awful nothing but bits and you get spammed

Terrible app

★ · v1.52 · Apr 11, 2026

You have to pay for every single thing and it is definitely not an app to make new friends downright the WORST app ive seen not even worth downloading!

Scam full of bots

★ · v1.52 · Apr 10, 2026

Nothing but fake profiles and bots it’s a money scam also any of the reviews that are good are paid for and fake don’t waste your time

Money Hungry

★ · v1.52 · Mar 26, 2026

If I could give the app 0 stars I would! Most money hungry apps I’ve ever come across. Don’t waste your time people, seriously! U start off with about 50-60 gems. If u want to message anyone it’ll be 8 gems PER message. Thats about 6 messages before it guns out and there’s hardly any way to earn gems beside the daily task, and that’s barely any. You have to buy everything when it comes to this app. Also when u want to view something another person sent in the messages it will say u need to send a gift first, which is purchased with gems. Messaging should be free like every other social app if u want this app to still be up. I’m surprised it’s still been up for 4+ years.

FIX THE UPDATE NOW

★ · v1.51 · Feb 24, 2026

The new update that was just done the week of valentines 2026 you guys have made the app so slow and almost impossible to use! These new updates suck and and make everything laggy and buggy!! Terrible!

Lags & takes over half your earnings.

★ · v1.51 · Feb 18, 2026

The app has been doing nothing but lagging lately. Also the earnings you do make with gifts is pretty much nothing because the app takes all of it then when you do cash out they take another $2 from you. You can’t offer to get money off the app because they sensor those words.

Age

★ · v1.40 · Jan 20, 2026

App should be for adults only

Scam

★ · v1.40 · Jan 6, 2026

Dont Don’t do it. You will get a lot of messages but it’s all just to get your money. Unless you’re into that then do it. Otherwise save your time

Sucky site

★ · v1.40 · Jan 1, 2026

Do not purchase this site there are to many scammers on site they try to get you to send minor get a hook up badger’s reticulum is so dumb do not purchase

The opportunity
