The antiquated, clumsy UX of the old version was replaced with this duplicate of the web interface that’s a navigation nightmare. This is what you get when you don’t design for a mobile experience. The tab bar wastes space on “Feed” and “The Scene” - i’m not sure which one is more useless. And, the account/profile button in the tab bar? Really? How often does a guy look at his own profile? And then to make any changes, you’ve gotta hit the edit button or the gear menu; 2 buttons to make changes and more buttons afterwards. Of course, when you eventually find your way to the profile list, you have a nav bar at the top eating up real estate. The profile pix are bigger now (nice) but then you use tiny fonts with empty whitespace. And, you couldn’t figure out how to combine “Nearby” and “Explore”? Oh, and look, there’s a nice search/filter line eating up space on the top of the page? And what do you end up with? Wow, a few profile pix per page! Have you even looked at any of the other cruising apps? You really should credit the open source components in the app somewhere.
I don’t hate change, just bad design

First solid black makes the app look sterile and cheap. Second I’m not thrilled that now I can only see two members that cruised me and if I want to see more I have to pay. Not happening. In fact I’m more likely to delete my profile and app when features which used to be free are placed behind a paywall. Third it keeps asking me to manually enter in my location every time I open the app because I have location services turned off. It should remember the last one I entered. There’s needs to be an option to select multiple messages to delete because this update also added the fun feature of merging sent and received messages (which why it wasn’t done in the first place is idiotic, but there you go). Finally I’m not wild about how the profiles look, images take up a large amount of space while the basic information in the profile is cut off requiring a tab to be pressed and usually causing errors because now more information has to be loaded in.
Could use some improvements

1. When I am typing a message to another user, the box to type the message in is really tiny with a tiny font. Once you type more than two small lines of text, you can’t see the previous lines of text. Makes editing messages very difficult. The workaround is to type out your message in a different app, then cut and paste it into Recon. This shouldn’t be necessary and would not be a tough fix for Recon. However, the problem has persisted for many years. 2. If you’re looking at other guys’ profiles and you have them sorted by distance from you, you can’t filter the results. If you filter the results, you can only search for other users across an entire state or even a country, and you can’t sort the results by how close other guys are to you. Seems like it should be relatively easy to combine these two features and make searching easier.
Disappointed but not surprised.

It seems that this app only works for European men. I constantly get messages and “cruises” from men in Berlin, London, Sweden and pretty much everywhere but on the continent that I live. I’ve made it clear in my profile what I’m looking for and the guys in this app do not care. I got scammed by these 2 dudes and it’s scary how bad at communicating grown men are. This is a BDSM app and if you cannot communicate then the potential of anything stops right there. Communication is essential in the world of BDSM because of safety issues. I messaged a guy I had been chatting with for awhile and told him that the communication between us was not good and that I felt like I was the one who was carrying the conversations. I was very nice (nicer than I should’ve been) when I told him I was no longer interested due to his inability to communicate, his response was, “ok bye”. I wish I hadn’t spent money on the membership for this app because I’ve had it since 2020 and I have not met a single person. No one is serious about making any kind of connections on this app.
