#open - "dating" redefined

I think that concept is great. I believe that most people on there aren't paying for it, especially women.I think it's due to the payment errors because I had to jump through hoops to finally get it to work. It's a shame because it's a site for people who have no luck on the typical ones, but people just can't connect. If they can work out the payment structure, maybe people wouldn't give up. I think that most credible banks block the transaction. Even Google pay had issues

Would give zero stars if I could. Absolutely would NOT suggest this app! Most of the profiles are old (I don't believe deactivated accounts are cleaned out at all; I found this out by backtracking information found in some profiles that I liked; which I was then able to contact the owners through other social media and speak with them; I was advised that they hadn't used this app in years - but the profiles still showed as active). The whole thing just screams scam to me. No matter what options/filters I selected, I never got a match! Not 1 match! I went through the entire listing! No exaggeration - the ENTIRE listing and not 1 match! Even for profile filters as simple as a woman looking for a man. Last I checked I was a man! I even verified my profile settings thinking that something was adjusted incorrectly; so there's no reason to not get even 1 match. Questioning this - I got the standard precanned "you're filters are just too narrow adjust them". Also while going through profiles, I found duplicates (same picture different profile) and some profiles were linked to individuals such as South American models (which I highly doubt someone who's relatively rich/famous would use some 2 bit app with a pitifully small user base). Some of the profiles turned out to be just advert links to Fans Only pages. Of all the profiles I contacted, (who had facebook or instagram links) most never replied. It almost seems like dummy "bot" filler accounts to make it look as though there was an active user base. If there is one - I sure didn't/don't see it! I lost count of all the profiles I liked. I used my complimentary 15 sparks for subscribing for a month, (and ended up buying 6 more) - still NOTHING. Not even a "no thanks not interested". Only managed a few responses from people I got in touch with outside of the app (which all basically had the same thing to say; they hadn't used the app in years). Also, I found that tech support was not readly available when needed (during what one would consider normal business hours). They don't make it readily apparent that if you accidently remove someone from your likes (that you sent a spark to) it eats the spark (I found this out the hard way. I unfortunately fat finger on my phone a lot because the screen is so small, and where I have an older phone - it tends to lag so I'm never quite sure if a tap went through, leading to double/triple taps that remove/close profiles). They also don't make it readily apparent that to chat via the app BOTH parties must like &/or spark one another. I had to dig into the FAQ's to find this information; and it seems like most of the userbase is not aware of this either! In summary - look elsewhere - totally a complete waste of time and money!!! *** As for the follow-up post from the admin/developers or whomever they are from the app that posted about my review - way to artfully dodge and try saving face by not addressing any of the shortcomings/issues (yet again) that I, and others have pointed out about your app!!! It changes nothing. I stand by what I have stated. ***

Great people, glitchy app. My partner and I have already made some super cool connections through this app with other ENM folk. My major complaint is that the app doesn't always respond, and sometimes you have to tap a "button" several times before anything will happen. We are paying for the membership so I'm hopeful this issue gets resolved soon. The community is amazing and we have had a lot of success meeting like-minded people!

Was on when it first came out and I'm back. Not a ton of activity if you're not in a major metro area, but that's a given. Would love to limit radius of searches. Lots of people 100+ miles away.

I loved using this app before, but with the fact that the ONLY way you can verify an account is with your phone number instead of a password or even an email I can no longer access my account because I don't have the number I originally had attached to my account anymore. Until this is changed I'm leaving a one star because seriously, this is ridiculous.

I had a profile that I decided to reactivate. When I came to edit my profile, the "save and continue" button disappeared as soon as I edited anything on my profile. I deleted my profile to set up another one. When it came to the section where I would create my profile page, the exact same thing happened, with the "next" button disappearing as soon as I entered any text into a box. This makes the app literally unusable as it's impossible to create a profile

App glitches constantly and also the messaging feature still doesn't work. It's been like this for over a year, no one has ever messaged me back and I can't delete messages or unmatch with people who don't respond.

I like what the devs are trying to do, but way too many quality of life things bringing it down. I should be able to pick what radius I'm searching in and my sexuality preferences (stop putting straight cis men on my suggestions please). Only rarely getting notifications is annoying, especially when the message is a week old.

It's a good app but I find it frustrating that I cannot set a radius for how far I'm willing to travel which means I'm seeing people who are not even from England. I don't have the time or money to travel far and I'd rather not have to swipe through people I can't meet due to distance.

Many users and unlimited choices are awesome, but I've been on the app for days and still hasn't gotten a single match. And I usually get a decent number of match in a day on other apps, which makes this adsurdedly odd.

I paid for a one month subscription and cancelled recurring payments. It still charged me for the following month, but I don't have access to premium anymore even though they charged me for it. Google won't refund me and #open developers haven't responded.

I hate... HATE, when then there's an update, and there's "no information from developer." Deleting.

Absolutely fantastic concept. Love the sex-positive approach to finding partners across the spectrum. One of the best features is the ability to add tags to show preferences, interests, limits, which saves time when writing a profile, but it also makes the UI a bit complex. So far, the biggest problem seems to be the lack of members and/or member activity. And since you both have to match each other (like Tinder), there's no way to message someone you like who isn't a regular on the site.

It is great on options for what you're looking for, what your dynamic is like, and what your limits are. However there aren't alot of users right now or maybe that is just my area so its hard to get a match. There are also so few people signing up any given day once you go through the people in your area it looks like a ghost town. But the interface is well done and 90% of the time is easy to navigate so that's great too.

App is not intuitive, although tech support was fairly helpful. While I understand both parties have to like each other to chat, initiating conversations with people who have liked your profile seems somewhat tricky. I do feel it has a lot of potential and there seems to be a lot of interesting people using this app. Looking forward to more! Edit: app is improving, really enjoying the new layout and features.

There's not much to love about this app. You can't even test it out without paying because it's so locked down that you can only view a single profile in what they call the power grid (a fancy name they've given to a feature that's free in almost every other app). After swiping through hundreds of users, both far and near, I haven't got a single match. Tried deleting my account but that feature doesn't work (followed instructions to no avail). Total garbage app.

Keeps crashing, which makes it impossible for me to use. -- I have emailed and the team has been responsive. However, the app continues to close each time I open it even after numerous uninstalls, reinstalls, and updates. Update on 6/15/2020: I did another update and the app is now working. I'm able to maneuver around in the app. Three stars instead of the previous two because I'm want to see how effective the app is over the next few weeks.

Nice app with simple, intuitive interface. The chat function doesn't work great (no emojis, limited history), but definitely well enough to get to know someone. Because this app is less well known, the selection of people on it is smaller, but I find that is not really a bad thing; the people you do find here are generally the nicer ones 😊.

Great idea in theory to find like minded people without the judgment that other apps bring. But oh my goodness, is the UI clunky and uninviting. I've been trying to change my bio for the past 10 minutes and the save button disappears. The grid went away with the update, but the button is still there, so it hinders the swiping experience. People with interests that are in my hard limits or non compatible sexualities show up. Can't view all my matches either- only the first one. Please fix this!

I was very excited to try this because finding a place to be accepted as a poly AMAB is hard. But after a few weeks of trying to navigate the interface and having absolutely zero matches, it's clear that this scene isn't for me, either. :/ There is also a lot of placeholder text scattered all over the app, so I can't really tell what the paid features do or how they might improve the experience. It's difficult to justify supporting something when the base experience is so empty.

Still new, but I really like the layout and functionality. Our community really needs a tool we can use for the indefinite future not just an initial connection, and this is in that direction. I like that you can manage you likes and dislikes and change your mind. The hashtagging is a great function. The UI is very clear and intuitive and has the functions you would want. And there seems to be enough interest right now to start using it.

Great idea for an app and good design, but glitchy :( I got a match and when I try to message them back the app gives me a warning that says "too many requests" and then crashes. My poor sad match is going to think I left them hanging! Also it seems like there is not a way to click from the chat window to look at the person's profile. Overall I like this app a lot, but developers, please work out the kinks so that we can do the same !

Once I got in, I updated my score from 2 to 4. I'd recommend updating the sign in error about still being in the queue to something like 'we will text you when your account is ready'. I'm liking it so far. I mean, I've only been using it for a few minutes, but I like many aspects of the features & UX. The UI could use some work, but function is more important than form; I'm sure they'll get there. If the devs are open to feedback or beta testing, I give very detailed feedback.

The app has a good concept, but I think if someone pays they should be able to pick and talk to who ever they want. I know your trying to be cautious but that is why you have a block so people can block other people if need be. Then keep the non payers where if they both match they can talk. I think that would get more people to join and your rating for the app would definitely go up.

It's cool. I really like it. I wish there was an option for sexuality preferences. For example, me and my partner don't want to date straight people. Also the no distance restriction thing is really annoying. Besides that, if the distance restriction thing goes away and you can set one than I'll be using this app all the time ☺️
