Just go to the website through Your internet browser. At least that works reasonably well. Literally the only thing that works about the iOS app is that it notifies You when You get a message. I love Recon. I wish this app worked. Hopefully it will get fixed. -- 12976314686887643325777, 2026-08-06 ### *---- "From mediocre to abysmal" The old app was clearly dated but the UX on the new version isn’t designed for mobile. Way too little information on the page; too much empty space; fonts too small; too much scrolling; too many taps to get somewhere… Why bother having an app if you’re just replicating the web interface? -- OthatRH, 2026-08-01 ### *---- "Fire who did the redesign" This sucks. I would buy a subscription once or twice a year while I was traveling and now that I’m about to again I signed on and none of this is user friendly. Paywall for regular public pics. Stats box is gone. None of it is intuitive and the search function (whole point) is shot to hell. It used to be a great app. I may even uninstall because it just doesn’t work in the first place. -- Playfairz, 2026-07-30 ### *---- "Search by keyword & info in feed" The new version took away the search by keyword functionality. Bring it back. I do not like my followers seeing changes I make to my profile. Having every bio edit or minor photo change broadcast to people in an activity feed feels unnecessary and exposed, especially compared to how quietly Recon used to handle account updates. It’s too Facebookish. Recon should add a global toggle to opt out of broadcast feed updates altogether (so followers aren't notified when one edits their bio/photos). -- JSFRx, 2026-07-29 ### *---- "Unusable" This app is unusable because if the new update, super laggy, it signs you out for no reason and the message take a loong time to appear so you can’t really have a fluent conversation, at least add the option to reply to an specific message, that would be great -- CatoGamo45, 2026-07-25 ### **--- "Do some customer research" I’ve been using Recon almost since its inception. This latest update is a disaster. Whoever provided the strategy failed. Do some customer research and build in some new features. It’s so sad to feel that this once beloved app may become redundant. :( -- ThisIsYourLifeReviews, 2026-07-23 ### *---- "How many ways are there to saw awful" This is what folks consider an upgrade? This is what was years in the making? Recon gets my thanks for supporting gay kink events. The best way to do that would be an App that works. Annm App worth paying for. It seems my paid subscription simply gives me a crappier version of the free app. Seriously? It’s like ordering a great piece of gear and when it arrives finding out it’s just cheap junk. -- CTRubberman, 2026-07-19 ### **--- "Ads for Paid Members" How dare you force ads on me when I pay $100/yr for your app. Subscription cancelled. -- NoNicknameForMyReviews, 2026-07-15 ### *---- "Issues with app and website" The site and app seem to work less now that they were updated. It was much more functional in its old form. I constantly am having photos in chats fail to load whether I’m on the app or website. -- Staggy stag, 2026-07-05 ### *---- "New version is useless" Not sure how they did it, but the new app is worse than the old one. Virtually useless. Don’t waste your time downloading -- Unhappycandyman7, 2026-07-04 ### **--- "Very Disappointed" The new major update is a bust and removed the options I liked best about the site—as an alternating paid and free member. They basically dumbed down the offering and user interface, which tells me Im not their target customer I guess. In many ways it feel like a free template they personalized with Recon branding. Recon used to be chock full of options, very easy to use why viewing many message and profiles together—proving a very rich single screen interface. Now to navigate to all the data points you have to change pages way too often. I worked for Apple SaaS and know what separates an inferior versus brilliant offering. I would seriously think twice of other options. -- HermesOrange, 2026-07-03 ### *---- "Terrible" Guys, I’ve been a member since 2000, and I was a paid member for a lot of that time I’m not sure what’s going on, but the entire site and app and everything has literally become unusable I’m not sure who’s consulting you on this, but you need to find someone new to overhaul everything -- ElBorba, 2026-07-03 ### *---- "Gone downhill" Loved this site years ago. Now there is no good search function and they took away the field where you could enter travel plans. Site is usually now for when I travel. -- jamesteroh, 2026-07-01 ### *---- "Deserves 0 stars" I am so glad I did not renew for another year. Believe everyone that is complaining about the apps ridiculously new update. I still use recon but only through the website. It actually performs a lot better than the app does. Will I pay for a subscription again? Hell no, Ian’s I was a subscriber for 18 years. -- 630masc, 2026-06-27 ### *---- "New update is trash" Don’t pay -- 大家饿被别人, 2026-06-21 ### **--- "New format sucks and no ops to help" New format SUCKS -- RoughnFL, 2026-06-20 ### *---- "My safeword is “Rollback”" ROLLBACK. I’ve been on Recon since 2009. This version is painfully slow, I mean 10 seconds to load messages. Ads in Premium in my messages like Grindr. Pics so large I’m embarrassed to use this in public. And only 3 lines of profile text up-front? No. I was the pilot program and I gave feedback on this. It was ignored. -- AJFitch87, 2026-06-19 ### **--- "used to be good" i used to love this app, but the most recent update not only messed everything up, they made sure to add more dopamine boosting “notifications” and added “message ads” like grindr. woof, why would you learn your lessons from them 🤢🤢🤢 not to mention all my friends on android dropped the app when they discontinued use on android. used to recommend this to anyone slightly into kink, now im deleting it. -- idontcare12346, 2026-06-17 ### *---- "Horrible redesign" I’ve used the recon website and the apps for well over a decade, this new update has completely ruined to site and the app, totally unusable with how I have used it for years. Please give an option to revert to the classic design or I’ll have to completely leave this site. I have already cancelled my subscription I’ve had for many years. -- Phlash65, 2026-06-17 ### *---- "JFC" First time seeing the new updates, congrats on totally destroying your company. Was this a group think decision? -- tsitts, 2026-06-16 [View all Recon reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Recon In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Premium | $54.99 | | 30 day membership | $12.99 | | 90 day membership | $29.99 | | 365 day membership | $89.99 | | 180 day membership | $49.99 | ## Recon Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | Ireland | Social Networking | #26 | | Top Grossing | Denmark | Social Networking | #32 | | Top Grossing | Czechia | Social Networking | #33 | | Top Grossing | Netherlands | Social Networking | #38 | | Top Grossing | United Kingdom | Social Networking | #43 | | Top Grossing | Chile | Social Networking | #56 | | Top Grossing | Spain | Social Networking | #63 | | Top Grossing | Australia | Social Networking | #69 | | Top Grossing | Singapore | Social Networking | #71 | | Top Grossing | France | Social Networking | #94 | | Top Grossing | South Africa | Social Networking | #98 | ## Recon Discovered Keywords - gay dating - more and more - silverdaddies - bbrt - recon - refon - leather - gay fetish - gay kink - recon gay ## Apps Similar to Recon - [GROWLR: Gay Bears Near You](https://apptail.io/app/growlr-gay-bears-near-you-sO/united-states) - [ROMEO - Gay Dating & Chat](https://apptail.io/app/romeo-gay-dating-chat-iU/united-states) - [u4Bear: Gay bear social](https://apptail.io/app/u4bear-gay-bear-social-SY/united-states) - [Adam4Adam Gay Dating Chat A4A](https://apptail.io/app/adam4adam-gay-dating-chat-a4a-Nqb/united-states) - [Daddyhunt– Gay Dating & Chat](https://apptail.io/app/daddyhunt-gay-dating-chat-jGf/united-states) - [Cruising gay hangouts dates](https://apptail.io/app/cruising-gay-hangouts-dates-Qsh/united-states) - [BUDDY: Gay!
