This app is ok. It's a bit barebones and buggy. My main complaint is it's impossible to tell if the people you're reaching out to have used the app at all recently. Also the search is wonky sometimes it'll tell me no one matches my filters but if I change them and change them right back all of a sudden there's results. I appreciate that this app exists at all but it needs some improvements.
For me, the app works pretty well. Sometimes I have to close and reopen so messages will load, but at least it gives notifications. It does have connection problems and will have trouble loading profiles (including my own). What I DO want is to have something that'd pop up to let you know when the other person was typing (that's my main problem)
It's an attempt, but a clunky one. Doesn't seem to have a clear idea of its own definitions (asks sexuality, then has romantic orientations?) EXTREMELY baffling biologically-based gender options. UI is unexplained so it was hard to know how to use it. Also difficult to understand what people were looking for and despite putting one's own preferences in it seemed like anyone would pop up. Overall frustrating experience and I won't be using it.
The app has its issues, I won't pretend it doesn't. There are bots, there are catfish, both of which are easy to spot, but still very annoying, especially since there's no real reporting system that I know of. But it's a much more accessible platform than things like ace-book or asexualitic, and I was really surprised to see so many aces within a stone's throw of me, especially since I live out in the middle of nowhere. I've met really great people, and I'd recommend the app, despite it's flaws.
It's nice to see at least one app that is really for ace people but I think it should be updated. Theres no notification if someone messages you and the profile pictures get a little warped when uploaded. The overall design of the app can be improved but because there is nothing else out there, I will keep using it for a while longer.
I updated the app on 6/4/20 and have been unable to log in with my email (connecting via Gmail and typing it in). It says "Connecting to ACEapp" then immediately crashes/closes the app by itself. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app several times. Edit: After several emails, they finally resolved the issue. Communication could improve. And the new update looks better, but I do have concerns about requiring users to put their first and last name (and no way to make it private).
Okay app, works well. I think they removed the option to delete profile however. I have followed the instructions and still could not find the option anywhere, it is not under edit profile like instructed.
Needs a little polishing. I noticed a spelling error (Neutoisromantic is missing an 'r' ik 'neutrois' on the attraction checklist) and it seems profile pics aren't properly rotated either (something to do with exif tags not being properly read?). Otherwise it seems pretty interesting so far.
I do really like this app, the only thing that keeps me from giving it a 5 star is the lack of filter. I have lots of people twice my age messaging me. It makes me uncomfortable and there is no way to set age restrictions on who messages you. I love this app, but I wish we could have age restrictions on who sees our profile. Highly recommend the app otherwise. I've met a few awesome people already.
I couldn't finish signing up because there was no option to skip the initial questions, some of which I found uncomfortable. The exercise question felt exclusionary to me as a disabled person & like an invitation for users to discriminate based on "health." Also given the vast gender & orientation diversity in ace communities, I feel like both of those should just be fill-in-the-blank with the option to leave them empty. I'd love to use this app if it gave users more choice.
A decent app as far as basic functions but the ads are super annoying. A video ad (with sound) pops up whenever I go to my profile. Also seems like users' names should be displayed more prominently than their login names - I didn't know the username I chose would be displayed for other users to see.
Username is shown publicly for some reason, and not editable. Cant delete account due to invalid password (works fine to login). No notification or any UI change when messages are received. Overall its a good idea, but feels like a college project implementation.
thought the new update would help with notifications, but instead wrecked the whole app. Works great for 5-10 mins but says "Internet Error" when my wifi and mobile data are fine. ive deleted the cache and redownloaded the app but nothing works. It would be a good app if it was just a bit stable
This app is ridiculous. You can't filter the search function, and it's like pulling teeth trying to find someone close enough that you're not simply pen pals. The ONLY good thing about this app is that it isn't a paid app, so you can send as many messages as you want. Just dont expect any replies.
Met many people who were really cool. However there is no report spam option. On my profile it says I like women & that I'm 21, but I keep getting messages from 39-50 years old men looking for a "sugar baby"(you are on the wrong app for that). I wish you were able to block other ages from seeing your profile just as you are able to chose what age range you wanna see. I should be able to choose if I want men 29 & older to even be able to see my account. So I wouldn't be getting creepy messages.
The idea is very good, as is the set-up. But the continuous "internet error" makes it unusable. Would love to use this app if the bugs get fixed!
This app is great but has it's issues. There is no easy access to the ToS if you want to read it again and the only people who messaged me throughout my whole time on this app are sugar daddies, which makes me SO uncomfortable. It gets exhausting to have to block every single person that talks to me... Also just a suggestion but having the ability to block people of a certain age to view my profile would be great, the sugar daddies are mostly my dad's age and I just can't deal with that.
It's a nice app. I would have given it 4 stars if the filters worked better. I have my distance set for 50km and I'm getting messages from people on different continents.
It's great that it exists but can be a bit crashy. As it usually takes 2 or 3 attempts to open the app as it crashes before its opened fully. It also doesn't show notifications sometimes, so I have to keep loading it up to check and have not realised I had a message for serval months. The distance also resets itself sometimes so I have to check it's set to the correct periodically. All of which can be a bit annoying. I'm still going to use it as it's the only app I can find of it's kind.
