Wink - Dating & Friends App 17+

Mostly good - just got a huge problem though!!!

Getting much better with updates. Nice it's completely free. Only big complaints are I only receive banner notification, no sound or vibration despite being set. I also find I have to quit and reopen the app to find new profiles.

Huge problem with today's update. The friends tab across the top used to show when your friends are online - a required feature in any chat app. Now it just shows another version of my friends list with newest first! I want to see who's online. I don't need a second friends list in a different order. Please revert or give an option to change ASAP as it's much less usable!!!

App used to be great before this new update

Like don’t get me wrong you can still talk to people and everything but if people are spending diamonds to add someone and they can never see who’s added them what’s the point in the diamonds because there is quite a lot of people added me but I can never see because you have to get wink plus. I understand the app had to make money but the way before was better like if I ran out of diamonds I would buy some or buy wink plus because before they were other great features. Also I miss the open chat thing that was there before it helped saved diamonds and could talk to them live and didn’t have to wait I also don’t like the fact you can’t go back anymore without buying wink plus. I used to go on wink alll the time but now only when I’m bored and I don’t go on for very long but there is nothing really to do except for chat to your friends on their that I had before the update because you can’t add new people anymore so overall the new update has no use of I wanted to change one thing it would be to see you expired adding because then there would be a point in the diamonds and the second would then be the chat one thanks for hearing me out of the creators see this🤍

Developer Response ,

Hi there- thank you so much for your feedback. We know our community is always busy, so we want everyone to have the opportunity to interact with the most recent person. You can extend your expired request to Wink+ to make sure you don't miss any potential BFF. Do you mean the random chat feature? Our team decided to remove that feature from our app. However, this is precious feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our community experience on our app, so we will make sure we pass your input on to our team.

New update terrible please read

The past updates have just downgraded the app but this update has been the worst. There are now paid features where you have pay to see the people that have added you. There are also ads where you have to wait for in order to use the app. The new swipe mechanism is horrible and is not convenient to use as there are now more glitches and is broken to swipe. Now you have to buy a premium feature to undo your swipe where in the past you’d pay extra gems (in game currency) to undo your swipe. They’ve removed features like random match where you’d match with someone if they’re looking for a match. This was a good feature but now it’s removed just like how the mini games were removed in the past. Far too many glitches which still have yet to be fixed such as inability to alter your bio as an error message pops up saying you need more than 2 characters but you’ve written more than 2 characters. Overall there are too many bots on this app and we shouldn’t be paying to see the people that have added us when majority of these people are fake and bots.
