Common complaints
- ✗Practically all functionality is locked behind a paid subscription93% of mentions
«The app is useless if you don't pay 700 rubles a week. Without a subscription, you can't even reply to messages.»
- ✗High subscription cost (700 rubles/week, 2000 rubles/3 months)80% of mentions
«I can't even figure out what I'm paying for, since there are no trial free days. OK, 700 rubles a month is tolerable. But ladies, that's a bit much.»
- ✗Crashes, freezes, slow loading, unable to log in50% of mentions
«The app is very laggy. I might have been willing to get a subscription, but not for this. Messages are duplicated, sending is slow. Sometimes it's impossible to open the app at all, it opens only on the 10th attempt.»
- ✗Messages are duplicated, don't arrive, or arrive with delay40% of mentions
«Messages don't arrive, or they arrive but take a very long time»
- ✗Most profiles are inactive (deleted accounts, bots)15% of mentions
«90% of profiles are inactive (they deleted the app) and it turns out to be a waste of time»
What people praise
- ★App concept (women's social network for finding friends)
«Very cool idea! Idea 10/10, execution leaves much to be desired.»
- ★Found interesting friends (when the subscription was working)
«I found many interesting, nice, and cool girls here. I really like it, met some good girls.»

- ★Support helps with payment and registration issues
«The operators helped, thanks for that.»
- ★Minor technical glitches are not critical and don't hinder usage
«Sometimes there are minor technical glitches, but overall they don't hinder using the app and don't spoil the experience»
