Feels unfinished or under serviced. I'm constantly stuck on a loading screen, unable to get access to anything for days. this is particularly frustrating as there are people I match with that I can't respond to in time that then expire, never to be friends with. When it does work I'm constantly matched with people outside my area or filters. generally just feels poorly made, and more like a prototype than a finished app.

Completely useless if you're outside of the city. I had a total of 5 swipes before being told to change my filters. Only problem was everything was maxed out on the free version from age to range. I know i'm in rural France but the whole 161+ miles around me has no one on this app? Yeah right. And no, I won't be paying premium for their travel mode.

It's ok. I keep having people that don't meet my criteria in my search or trying to friend me (e.g. males instead of females), which almost defeats the purpose of the filters. I also wish you could go back through people you've already seen so you could super swipe if you forgot, or remove them if you accidentally swiped right, plus if you run out of people, it would give you something to do in the app, rather than having to change your criterion to see more people. A skip option would be handy!
