I wanted to leave a review to show support and hopefully encourage others to give it a try. I’ve played through a lot of dating simulators and Winked is by far the best. It’s well written and even though the answers are pre-written, you still feel like an actual participant when communicating/engaging with your matches. The available matches are diverse and have great back stories. It isn’t just about hooking up, boring conversation, and unnecessary drama for the sake of keeping things “interesting”. It is obvious the developers care about this app and us as the player because the conversations and dates are stimulating, fun, and inclusive. If you do decide to spend your diamonds (or don’t because you can get extended scenes, rewards, etc. without paying), the content/conversation is worth it. On that same note, even if you don’t pay to load up on extra diamonds or choose not to spend diamonds on outfits, content, pictures, etc.), your relationships still progress. I’m big into RPG’s and Simulators and as far as a mobile simulator, Winked is pretty much unmatched. Also, the developers are very friendly, quick to respond, and always helpful. Seeing the app progress is exciting and I can’t wait to see it unfold. Thanks Nanobit!

The app is kinda glitchy. Not super, and there is no ads so I can’t complain there. But I think after a week of using it, I can give a fair review. 1.) if you don’t know, some of the characters have the same stories as each other. Such as Kaitlyn and Aniyah. However, when matching with Aniyah and heading on a date with her, I find that Kaitlyn’s character is there with her name rather than Aniyah’s character and name. Which, it’s not a big deal and doesn’t make a big difference story wise (obviously because it’s the same story) it just throws you completely out of the moment. If it were just that glitch I experienced, I wouldn’t be make a review. However… 2.) the only reason this rating is as low as it is. I made an in-app purchase. I know, I have no shame (and I don’t care 😝) I have actually made several purchases. And the only one that hasn’t worked was my most recent. I made a purchase of $10 (roughly) and the money charged my account. HOWEVER, I don’t have my heart gem whatever thing-a-ma-bobs. And like, it’s only 10 bucks. But I expect an app that is charging me to allow me to view content, to actually give me the items I buy. That is the only reason why I can’t give this app a full 5 stars. If someone else experiences this, or multiple people do, it’s frustrating. And I sincerely hope that the developers care enough to fix this issue. And I would like to be either refunded or given my gems. Otherwise, I love the app ❤️

**update** after writing this review they gifted me the amount of diamonds I had lost during the glitch. Reviewed stars updated from 1 to 3. This would be a 5 if the game didn’t unmatch if I spend some time not playing - causing me to lose all progress and diamonds spent for those matches. Is truly the only off putting aspect of the game where no other apps like this have this feature. Original review: I purchased 3600 diamonds and used during the Cupid rewards game thing they have going on. Claim button, to “cash out” and stop playing wouldn’t work so I kept spending gems when I got the card that can cause you to lose. No big deal. I get to the point where I’ve paid in nearly all these diamonds and click claim, a few times again, to cash out and nothing continued to happen until the game closes/crashes. Customer support says to me, after reopen the crashed game and find neither my diamonds nor the rewards are there, that there is nothing wrong on their end but here’s 150 diamonds as a convenience. All I wanted was the rewards, I’m fine with spending the money, took a screen shot to send and everything when the claim button through 40 something rounds wasn’t working. Loved this app until then, disappointed doesn’t even begin to describe it for a legit issue that let me keep playing and spending, but wouldn’t let me claim out properly.

I played this game a few times the first one I played basically all of Matt Davis‘s storyline. Only for some reason I can’t find out how I logged in even though I’ve only ever had iPhones and the three options of logging in from Google Facebook or Apple. I’ve tried all of those, but that game and history with that is completely gone, so that’s my first con. Second is I hit match and it rejects them I thought maybe I did something wrong but it has happened multiple times. This recent one I think it was the guy that’s a vet. I made sure to touch the heart and swipe right but he’s not in chat and nowhere to be seen. I wasted diamonds twice to get seven more profiles thinking I had done something wrong to reject the previous match and not wanting to wait for more matches. I’m currently so broke that I’m waiting for payday tomorrow so I can buy a small package and make middle ground choices for the first date with Tobias. I do for the most part like this app and it’s old enough. I know they’re not gonna update anything as far as character design. But having a few more detailed choices for the MC’s face would be nice like eye color.
