5/5safety features is why i use this app
Privacy is really important to me and Buzz does an amazing job of making sure you stay safe while meeting new people. Your real location is never shown, which means you don’t have to worry about strangers knowing where you live. Instead, you appear somewhere nearby, which still lets you find friends but keeps your privacy intact. The blue verified badge is another awesome feature that helps you avoid fake profiles. Keep in mind though i've had some strange messages from some people but i just reported them and blocked them.

5/5Very inappropriate app
I downloaded this app today and it said it was 12+ so I downloaded (I’m 16) and there were 20 year old women asking me for pictures of nudes and asking for my number and my instagram. I gave to 2 people my instagram and they posted some very inappropriately stuff and they both kept telling lies about it. So I don’t recommend This app for people younger than 18. The owner needs to fix the age limit on this app to 17+ so young kids can’t download this app.

1/5Pay to make new friends
You've can't even do anything (respond to friend requests, talk to people etc) without buying a membership. It looks like a dating app, but it's not a dating app! Their business practices resemble like other dating apps charging for a premium experience. I'll suggest removing the membership requirement to message people, make friend requests expiring after 2 days (like if someone sends you a friend request, you've have a limited amount of time to respond to it) and adding a gem system (like if you ran out of coins/gems you can give us a right to watch an ad which gives you advertising revenue to help keep the app alfloat or doing the daily check in get your free gems) anyway I might come back to it if improvements made, overall it's just a crappy friend making app.

2/5Customer service sad unfortunately
Accidentally logged out, tried to use my password repeatedly for days, forgot password button didn’t work(not sending the email at all, tried it repeatedly and confirmed it was the right email.) so I contacted support and responses were belated and unhelpful, when the forgot password thingy worked, I changed the password but it turns out my password was correct and the login in was broken. Lost my account!!

1/5Do not download
I’m a 14 year old I downloaded the app and I started talking this whole app is a set up don’t even send a picture of ur face or ur surroundings they will take ur photos and edit them it nude photos and will blackmail u for money they somehow found my instagram and started threatening me to post the pics of my instagram account and dm it to my followers so I had to delete and disable my account I don’t want any apology fake from the developers there doing this on purpose to blackmail and trick u into paying money it’s all a setup do not download and if u do do not tell them ur phone number instagram TikTok or pictures of yourself stay safe everyone
