The pointing system is too much like whenever someone's interested in you, you got to have 10 points just to view their profile. You should atleast make that one free. Their's also no return to profile or where you originally are button whenever I visit others profiles. I don't know if its just me but I end up leaving and re-entering the app if that happens. It's a bit inconvenient. But overall the app's okay.

The app is soo annoying, you know what? Not 100% people in this app going to like you, and theres one girl who likes me back but when I tried to chat with her, its freaking ask me some coins to chat with her, and I watched all the ads like 3 times to receive coins just to chat her but still it wont allow me. It keep on asking me get more coins, i think rich people can only make friends huh... unistalling
Jus giving 5 star for the cards

But seriously this app needs more improvement, you guys need to let us know who the hell liked us, not just waiting randomly for us to be able to like them back in the random matchmaking where we can reject them for some vague reasons like they want to learn japanese in in their bio given that i dont speak japanese. Its frustrating man.
Needs a lot of improvement

I like the app but I don't love it. 1) They should optimize it so that it will be easier to use. 2) They can also add a menu at the side of the app so that it will be easier to move around 3) They should add an (optional) translator as an add-on for those who is not fluent in English 4) They also need to improve the aesthetic of their buttons so it will be more pleasing 5) Don't mind this review. I just need the extra 30 cards. 6) I just wasted 2 minutes of my life. That's all, thank you and install this app
