Major Highlights of the Week

Distance Mismatch
Users frequently encounter profiles from distant locations despite setting a local radius, indicating a malfunction in the distance filter feature. This misalignment frustrates users seeking nearby connections and diminishes the app's value proposition.
Even with a 10-mile radius set, I'm shown profiles from states away.
Bot Concerns
There is a prevalent perception that many profiles are bots, as interactions often result in non-responses, undermining trust in the app's authenticity. This issue raises concerns about the effectiveness of the app's verification process.
Every profile seems fake, and no one responds to messages.
Paywall Frustration
The app's monetization strategy, which requires payment to access basic features like viewing likes or messaging matches, is perceived as excessive and exploitative. This approach alienates users who expect more functionality from the free version.
You have to pay a lot just to see who liked you or to chat with matches.
Ghosting Issues
Users experience high levels of ghosting, where matches do not respond to messages, leading to dissatisfaction and questioning the app's user engagement strategies. This pattern suggests a need for features that encourage active participation.
I've matched with many, but none respond to my messages.
Verification Loopholes
Despite claims of robust verification, users report loopholes that allow fake profiles to bypass security measures, casting doubt on the app's promise of authenticity. This undermines user confidence in the platform's integrity.
You can bypass verification by using a photo from another device.
Inaccurate Filters
Advanced filters, such as those for age and distance, often fail to function correctly, leading to irrelevant matches and user dissatisfaction. This technical shortcoming detracts from the personalized experience the app aims to provide.
Filters don't work; I see people outside my age and distance preferences.
