The concept of the app is awesome and I love it. There’s really no other platform like it. It’s like instagram meets old tumblr. My issue is that updates haven’t been pushed out in 3+ years. I had someone repetitively requesting an unlock, even after I blocked them, I was still getting notifications that they were still requesting an unlock, a total of 20x. If you’re giving the option to block someone can it please actually block them ? There’s so many quality of life changes that can be made to the app for improvement, but again, it hasn’t been updated in 3 years. I guess I’m not sure why there hasn’t been any app development when they’re still collecting profit off of premium features

When will there ever be an update? The annoyances continue. If I leave the app for a moment and come back it auto reloads the entire feed so you have to start from the beginning. It’s so lame. Also the lack of dark mode? For $80/yr I expect a little more. The concept is great, tumblr meets instagram with a heavier social aspect blended in. Lots of pictures of men from across the world, tap to like their photo, they can tap to like your photo, then you can chat. So that part is great and works mostly well. The most annoying thing about the app is that when you leave the app and return it auto refreshes and puts you back to the top of the photo feed. So then you can to scroll with all of the pics you’ve already seen to get back to where you started. I’d get it if I left the app for more than say 15-20 minutes. But to answer a text message then go back a minute later and have it refresh. Grrrr! The other thing, the price. I’m all about supporting apps but there has to be a balance. A paid membership is $80 a year! This seems pretty steep for being able to see videos, not much value. If it were $40 a year I’d be alright with that because the app is fun to use. Otherwise the free version is still a lot of fun.

Curious if any updates were coming soon to the app? I use the pro version and have to say for the price there definitely should be an update. I understand from reading past developers response that there aren’t many of you working on this app but. At least make an update here and there. I’m not expecting a full blown revised app. I understand things like this take time. But two years is quite long to go with out an update.
