CERTIFIED PROFILES
Every photo is checked automatically, then by our team. Certify your profile with a selfie to get the "Certified profile" badge. Phone numbers and email addresses are refused in DMs and bios.

I haven’t found the one yet, but I can honestly say this app has been a refreshing experience. It’s given me the chance to meet people from different walks of life and helped me better understand what I’m truly looking for in a partner.The interface is easy to use, and I appreciate the effort the app puts into keeping things safe and respectful. I’ve had some great conversations—even if they didn’t lead to love, they still added value to my journey.Love takes time, and I’m still hopeful. For anyone serious about connecting with genuine people, I’d say give it a try. Sometimes the process is the progress. 💬❤️

Ok for the time being. Put more effort in the swiping to enable left or right validation or rejection of profiles. Furthermore on the setting area we should configure the notifications options in order to be aware anytime anyone send us messages or likes etc…

After seeing it in different influencers’ posts, I decided to download it and see what it actually looks like. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The majority of the profiles are fake, and secondly, I’m not sure if the app actually verifies the location, but I guess they do, since I was able to finalize my profile setup even though I didn’t allow the app to access my location. But at the end of the day, most of these people show addresses that mislead users.To say politely this app is trashed and just lurk people with the help of influencer
Developer Response
Heyama is free to use, but some profiles may not be active, and location access helps improve matches. Coins are needed for premium features like messaging or liking.
Easy use

I found very easy to use. Even though I think it would have be better to be able to limit only to Canada. I receive like from África but I’m looking for love here in Canada
