You have too much ads and so expensive premium
-- neemoon, 2024-10-30

### *---- "Обновление вообще отстой"
Верните старый версии с нормальным фильтром что за бред ! 

Ведь в стриме сижу пожалуйста верните на место 
У вас там фильтр не работает 
Верните старую версию приложения
-- Хештег_97, 2024-10-25

### ***-- "المزيد من الخصوصية"
نريد المزيد من الخصوصية ضمن التطبيق و بطرق مجانية  مثل الصورة لمرة واحدة تكون مجاناً و عدد استخدامها غير محدود
-- Mohamad.z.shammout, 2024-10-18

### *---- "Ads abuser"
This app was good but it s almost 2 years they just abuse users with ads and super annoying… One year ago wanted to run a big campaign with some influencer to stop using this app and that time they reduced the ads but now again super annoying and make users to buy premium…. NOW TIME TO RUN THAT CAMPAIGN AGAIN!
-- Awaken !!!, 2024-09-26

### *---- "Сделайте темную тему"
Сколько можно ждать
-- Alex B.M.S., 2024-09-22

I don’t understand why the video say “Trending in you Language”… when they are really 4000 or more Miles’s away..
I’m in the USA and it shows me no one near me…

-- Ggud Don, 2024-09-20

### ***** "It’s nice"
Interesting
-- Haleow2u, 2024-09-18

### **--- "Too many ads"
I get it you gotta make money somehow. But you can’t just push ads after every message I view. Like literally every 20 seconds there was ad popping up.
-- DictationAddict, 2024-09-18

### ***** "New year…"
Checking it out
-- Paul Pape, 2024-08-17

### ***-- "It’s okay"
I like the features and seeing a bunch of news related to queer topics but a lot of stuff seems to be behind a paywall. I don’t wanna have to get the premium or whatever it’s called for this app for a bunch of basic stuff. :/
-- RenaBess, 2024-07-29

### *---- "I need more ads"
Too little advertising, sorry, I need more
-- Нормальнотакто, 2024-07-24
