HARDLINE Chat

Hi its nice hhh Nice Nice

Updated the app - a mistake! I’m required to sign in again. Filled in my email address and my password. Though there are no check boxes, I reviewed the app’s terms of service and privacy policies. Tapping the still gray Login button brings a popup that all required fields must be filled in before I can continue. I filled in the only two boxes available. Please fix!

Hello, I received a scripted response to my message, below. While it’s gratifying that you copied and pasted your sorrow about my bad experience, and invited me to take my issue to a private forum, away from this publicly readable space, my message did not require further discussion, but an action on your part. It’s clear you’ve removed a ton of scammer and bot accounts, but sadly this is a never ending task. On the plus side, there are now so few profiles to review, it shouldn’t take much time, each time. And since a picture of the crown prince of the UAE (currently right in the profile, but often reserved for the messages), easily IDs this most common scammer, you could, at the very least, regularly scan for his image and delete the associated profile(s). The removal of so many old scam profiles shows you have some ability in this task. Thanks for your request to email you, but I prefer to message you here. Here’s the previous message, now I think two or more weeks old: There are fewer than 40 men worldwide using this with a public profile. 99% of those cruising in stealth mode can be assumed to be scammers, and the very easiest kind of scammer to spot messaged me again. Fazza, the prince of the UAE. I’m not sure why scammers are so focused on using this very famous man’s name and image, but c’mon! It shouldn’t take more than a half hour to peruse your client list and delete these most obvious bots and scammers.

Gave a one star review previously, then bumped it up to two when this app’s support personnel responded positively to my negative screed. Now here’s another. Another new update brings another loss of features: I cannot hear “Phone Guys” outgoing messages, and either they can’t hear, or can’t respond to, messages from me, or I can’t receive any messages they might be sending. There’s also no signal to show which messages I’ve tried to listen to, as there once was. The live connection has never worked. Anyone reading - the potential of chatting with “Phone Guys” is the only reason to use this app. If this feature is gone, no reason to download. This is far from the only thing wrong with this app, but it’s the main one. I promised to make a list of the issues, but it got very long and disorganized. I’ll admit I’m not very dedicated to it. I’ll renew my interest when I can record an outgoing message of my choice, as I could once do, and am able to message to and from guys actively on the app - the “Phobe Guys”. As a bonus, go ahead and fix the live connect! If this feature is now behind a paywall, there is nothing to indicate this. But really, who’s gonna pay? Thanks!

I certainly understand that this app’s developers are not here to help me get off with strangers on the phone; they’re here to make money. However, the way to make that happen is by offering new features, not removing existing ones. Plenty of hot, free apps available. Not payin’!

Now this is my favorite app again.

I entirely concur with what nurispark has stated. It’s really too bad since this was a pretty good site to have fun chatting with others. Now live connections never work. The messages stacking on top of each other is extremely frustrating. Please upgrade these features and I will gladly come back to use it when things are in working order.

Chat IM between two people overlays and doesn’t display properly. Makes it impossible to chat.

In chat: •Chat bubbles from both sender and receiver stack on the z-axis — making every text exchange illegible. •Audio chat bubbles don’t play when touched. With phone users: •Attempting to initiate a live-chat with a phone user simply sends a blank message to the phone user— making them think an App user is just a phone user who doesn’t know what he’s doing —and the phone user rejects the connection. •Phone users report receiving the request, but connections never go through. •Voice messages from phone users stay in the upper inbox after being read and sometimes are duplicated. •Similarly, phone users also report that App users are appearing in the national lineup more than once. In general: •App still crashes unexpectedly •In short, this version needs a massive overhaul. Prior to iOS 11, the app used to work with occasional bugs and crashes (operational 85–90% of the time). This version is virtually unusable (dropping to 5–8%). I’ve been using this app for years and while I don’t like to look a gift horse in the mouth, I’d have to say that this horse needs a dental and orthodontic appointment— stat. •The App Store link for user support doesn’t lead to a website that allows users to report bugs or concerns but instead to a page for acquiring new phone users.

Wow what an app! Can't believe there is a METAL DAN FEATURE!
