I think you should’ve have to pay to meet Christian’s and fellowship
I have no idea why or what happened, but i was randomly logged off my account. And when I try logging in with my credentials it keeps creating a new account as if i didnt have an account before... so i lost all my matches, which is annoying since finding nearby matches in Dominican Republic is rare since the app isnt popular here i guess. In Miami it has more results, but DR is a ghost town! I dont even feel like using the app anymore...i'm deleting this app.
Lots of fake profiles and people trying to scam you.
There so many girls out there that anyone of them would be the one! However, this app so expensive. Please lower your prices if possible please 🙏🏻
My overall review of this app is scathing. You can only write 120 characters for your profile. Which that doesn’t give anyone any kind of idea of who you are, or what you’re about. You can’t read or write messages unless you upgrade to a paid membership. Which that is utterly unacceptable, because what if you don’t find anyone? Should you be forced to buy something that you may not like! The app dev loopers are terrible! And I hope their app goes bankrupt!
Beware this site makes it very difficult to delete your account or delete pics.
The amount of scammer profiles that have appeared is UNBELIEVABLE! I know I have matched with at least 8-10 scam profiles. While they have become easier to spot and not match with, you can’t really tell on some of them until you start to message with them. Just be aware of who you are talking to and what information you give out. Thankfully, nothing major happened to me, but I hope this people heed this warning.
Hundreds and hundreds of fake profiles. All with the same story. “I’m from such and such foreign country but I grew up in L.A.” They’re starting to change their story now though lol. One said he’s from Havana and grew up in Miami and doesn’t speak Spanish. Possible but I’m not falling for it bc in my part of town we have no such people.
Would be a nice concept but they don’t show your likes unless you spend $20-30
For some reason, Upward will show you profiles of people in your distance range for your first day on the app. After that, get ready for every profile to be 150 to 300 miles away from you. There’s no way I exhausted every local user profile in half a day. The app intentionally shows you people far away from some reason. I’d say it’s worth using for free I guess, but don’t waste your money paying for the upgrades. Knowing who liked you isn’t beneficial if you’re not into long distance and they’re 2 states away.
