Summary

This app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to its aggressive paywall which requires users to purchase expensive weekly or monthly subscriptions just to read or send messages. Users frequently report encountering bots, fake accounts, and irrelevant listings even after paying, leading many to feel scammed and that the app offers poor value for money. The app is also plagued with numerous bugs, including message disappearance, frequent crashes, unresponsive buttons, and issues with listing updates. Additionally, customer support is consistently described as slow, unhelpful, or requiring a paid subscription to access, further exacerbating user frustration.
