Great events & thoughtful profiles!

I’m so pleased with the depth and thoughtfulness this app offers. I get a better sense of who someone is with the layout of the profile & its options. I’ve made friends and been on a date with someone (we’re friends now :) ...aaand I love the “events” option that allows me to see what’s happening in my community more on the self healing-soundbath-meditation-cuddle events- Burningman scene. Kindra hosts its own monthly events also with optional fun costume themes. My favorite is the partner body painting workshop during the party - it’s a unique experience 💖💖🥳

Messages don’t show up.

This app seems interesting and takes a unique approach to finding people. It would be really cool if it worked; but in my experience, it doesn’t. After being in this app for a while, I noticed I didn’t receive any messages. So I decided to send some messages myself, even though I usually wait for men to send me the first message. I got a notification that one guy responded to me, but it disappeared as soon as I opened the app. I sent him another message explaining that I didn’t see what he wrote me and asked him to try again. It appears the same thing happened the second time, but without a notification, because the message button is on for him and it’s off for the others. (I also can’t tell when they last logged in, maybe they didn’t ignore me and are just inactive.) The messages section remains blank. I can’t even view the messages I’ve sent to people.

Developer Response ,

We are sorry for your experience on the app. We are new and growing and occasionally we have some "growing pains" when things might not always be working as we expect them to. We are updating the messaging feature to take account of your feedback. In the meantime, you will not see a message you sent to someone until that person responds to your message. The message button of that person's profile will be off, so you won't be able to send that person another message unless that person responds to you. We did this to prevent people from spamming each other with messages which can sometimes happen on dating apps. Thank you for trying the app. We appreciate you feedback as we continue to work at improving the user experience.

verification of profiles would be appreciated

I am new to the app but one person I liked wrote me back texted with a story about being out of the country, working for NATO, entire family deceased, ex-wife embezzled all his money. It all seemed implausible and after a while I got the feeling someone other than person in profile photos was trying to get a phone number get as much information about me as possible in text. After I said I’d be interested in meeting in public when they were back in the country and didn’t want to continue the exchange in text or off the app, they persisted in saying “there are steps before we meet in person” and tried to further engage.
I feel in my gut that this profile was a fake.
This app needs verification procedures and to allow online chatting and video on its platform.

Cats, we wanted to let you know that we have implemented additional verification procedures including phone verification for USA phones only. Currently the app is only available to people in the United States. We are constantly monitoring the app to eliminate fake and overseas profiles. We thank you for using the app and for your feedback. We are very focused on making sure the app is a safe and authentic place for connecting.
