The app has a good premice, but isn't useful for finding friends. Most of the time you're going to find spam accounts. There are real people on this platform, but not a lot. It's a little broken as well. One issue it it doesn't update chats sometimes so you have to close the app and re open it to see new messages. This would be a great app if they fixed the bugs and wiped bots and scams from the platform, but it's going to suffer until then

Physically terrible. It says there's no one that matches me preferences, and I've changed them multiple times, even to the point of setting my gender preference to both, the area to worldwide, and ages 13 to 99. Nothing appears still. You're telling me there's no one there? HOW?? Absolutely broken. I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone I know.

Good for meeting people. I've made a friend who's a lot like me on there and started talking to some pretty cool people. The only issue I have is they made it, so you have to pay a subscription to see who adds you after 24 hours, and they don't always show before the 24 hours is up. It also has a feature, so you can see one person who's added you over 24 hours ago, per ad you watch, but when I click the watch ad button, nothing happens.

I've been using it for a year and a half almost and it's buggy. If one huge bug is fixed, another one is introduced. I also can't tell if people even get my messages right now because nobody is responding at all. I have 200+ friends and not one responds?? Even the CURRENTLY active ones?? If it wasn't buggy, it would be great for 13-17 year olds. Also. Definitely needs a way to verify age. It's way too easy for child predators to use.

Says you can explore nearby but it doesn't work cause I have it set to 5 miles and am getting people across the country. Can't search/filter based on interests either. It forces you to verify but won't let you view verified only unless you pay. It makes you pick a "vibe" (friendly/flirty/spicy) but won't show you other people's or let you filter by it unless you pay.

I don't usually leave reviews but I want to see this resolved. Would be a great app if it would verify, it lags a bit and the keyboard disappear when I type. Need better ways to earn diamonds, some of us can't afford to put money into an app, and seeing people that I'd to connect with is a little discouraging. Also what is the arcade, because I don't have an option for this. Other than that I've met some cool people on it

Yessss. You can finally see the user pics when you're chatting with them instead of having to screenshot when you're adding people. Everything after that goes exactly as the producers intended except for a couple bugs😁. The only 2 things I suggest now are to have the option to watch videos for gems and that my requests list doesn't clear on it's own whenever I close the app. This is annoying since I've wanted to add people only to find that I'll never find them again because of this problem.

This app is good, I like how it functions and it's smoother then other apps I've tried with the same premise. However, as I go through as a minor, I see a ton of inappropriate pictures of "privates" and there's so many, it seems as though there's no censering in keeping this app as safe as possible. There's not regulation. I beg of you to have a tighter leash if this is slipping through the cracks so often as see.

It's a neat app. I've met quite a few people on there. There's just one thing I wish you could do. And that's instead of having to search someone by their id, you could just look up the name and get some results and go through the results til you find the person. Imo, it would be easier if you like lose contact with a person bc you lost your old acc or something.

There are just a bunch of bots and weird people on here. There was also a bug where about a month ago I was talking to someone on the app and while I was texting them the option to block them randomly popped up although I didn't even press the dotted line I accidentally clicked block, it didn't give me an option if I'm sure I would like to block them and It just got rid of them from my page. I tried emailing Wink twice to help fix the issue and see if they could fix it, but no response.

Basically a waste of time. It copys the look of tinder. You can only select your country or worldwide, not you specific area. It's an app to make friends but only online friends is boring. Its also highly resembles tinder in other ways, with the pics, swiping and someone has to swipe the same way to start talking. You can also see how many ppl swipe right on others so looking at the high # is a bummer cause they most likely won't talk to you.

It's a great app if you like meeting new people, the problem is that most of the accounts are either bots, scams, or people selling premiums. There is also alot of people who are just looking for Cashapp payments or hookups. Lots of people trying to date, and lots of people who are too young. The app is very slow and the new updates are really bad. It breaks down alot, or you lose your profile. If your a chick get ready to see lots of unwanted photos, and if you are a guy get ready for scams!

This app was really good. But then, all of a sudden, I can't edit my bio or add pictures or change what gender I want to see. It keeps giving me "an unexpected error has occured." That has been happening for the past 3 days. I've logged out and logged back in. I've uninstalled and re-installed the app. Nothing has worked. And then, you can't view all of the person's interests and bio. It is literally cut off. Please fix this

The app is okay. They take away verification if you add/remove photos and remove it without telling you. Now they say "you can't send a message without being verified", when I've been verified for a while, and texting people who were NOT verified. It's ridiculous, and never got any notification for my verification being taken away or any reason. Just open the app, go to respond to chats, and can't even open them without being "verified". Poor app, and thinking of finding other apps

I found a decent experience on the app. It has many issues though including, account terminations, spam, predators, and numerous bugs. With that said, I have made a few friends that I'm close with and that's all I can really ask for. Decent app with some problems but still usable. Never had any unnecessary pop-ups and never any unwanted ads. I only got rid of it due to my account disappearing randomly. Hard to say if I would reccomend but overall, go outside.

Great concept, but terrible execution. Good app for people who want penpals but not friends. The app would work one hundred percent better if there was a feature to narrow down the friend "zone". It would work for people in very small countries, but not for anything bigger than Haiti. It's awful talking to someone, hitting it off, then find out they live thousands of miles away. Any conversation dies the moment you or your new "friend" ask for location. Most people don't want to be pen pals.

This app's concept is good, but, there are many glitches and bugs in there. When I first downloaded it, it was nicely working. When a couple of times passed; it started to freeze. The sections were always "loading" and the problem was not my internet. I couldn't accept friend requests, because clicking did nothing. The screens are loading, many of the clickings are not working... It makes me think about logging out and in to try again, but I couldn't even log in back! The app kept glitching.

This app isn't great. After this last update, everything has been on the fritz. It asks me to sign in whenever I opened the app. It made my phone glitch and turned off my bluetooth. It also kicked me out a lot. I no longer get messages. Like at all. I also liked the feature that allowed you to look at the person's profile when they give you their snap. I would consider redownloading Wink if these problems are rectified.

Took me 8 tries to log in with snap. Wouldn't save my settings (age, search pref, username, photos, etc.) and still does not. Can't swipe people for 20 seconds after each swipe for some reason. Randomly crashes and closes with no explanation. No distance search filter (e.g. state). Several issues with this app which simply make it seem broken or released too early. I'm sure in time and some tweaking it will be made into a fully functional app but for now I am going to pass.

A absolute waste of time first of all this is common sense, let people see who likes them and let them chat one another without paying for a waste of money subscription. Common sense fr secondly you can easily, easily, have the subscription go towards extra customization,boost how often your shown to people, enable gifs, etc etc. it's common sense and you know it but lack the care to see the app actually become something. Wouldn't recommend highly lacks common sense.
