1. 1/5COMPLETELY BROKEN ON IOS 17

   **BEARS BEWARE THIS APP IS COMPLETELY NON-FUNCTIONAL ON IOS 17** This app no longer works on iOS 17 which is no surprise considering the last update was over 3 years ago. I am currently only able to access the app and my account via a spare phone running an older iOS version. Be advised that if you update to iOS 17, it’s at your own risk of losing your account at this point, as there is no way to access outside of the app or really get to the dev. How they can still consciously accept payment for a product subscription is beyond me when they’ve basically left this app to die. The app is otherwise okay but obviously not designed for newer devices and in need of a massive refresh. Videos cause crashes, removing private access causes crashes, just old and unoptimized.

2. 1/5Total Garbage, Deleted

   Just another useless app that doesn’t appear to have a lot of users. They have a deluded price for paying customers and I’m guessing most of their reviews are fakes. Their rating certainly defies logic otherwise. I was annoyed immediately when I saw the choices for profiles. How can you include ridiculous “sports” like water polo and surfing, but NOT hockey?! I was going to contract “support” to complain about this omission and ran into another insane blockade. You don’t have to attach an email address to create a profile, but you can’t contact “support” without one. Okay, so where do I do that? I looked for several minutes under profile and settings and couldn’t find a place to do it. I’m deleting the app and hoping my uploaded pic is eventually deleted. I suppose it will get deleted when the app folds, which I’m guessing will be pretty quickly. They certainly can’t be making any money on it the way that it is. Tip to developer: You are trying to break into a well-saturated arena of social apps. Getting started has to be easy and intuitive and you have to give people a reason to WANT to come back.

3. 4/5Great app, but is it possible...

   Would it be possible to be able to manually update the ‘worldwide’ photo feed; maybe by pulling down from the top like you would other apps? I only ask because when you open the app from being closed and see someone of interest...if I don’t tap their profile fast enough, it goes away and it’s VERY difficult to find them again as the app auto reloads with the latest photos. Scrolling downwards doesn’t guarantee that I’ll see the profile again depending on how long it’s been since that photo has been posted.

4. 5/5Awesome!

   This app is so much better than all the other gay apps I’ve used. It’s a great blend between social media and meeting local guys. It’s helped my boyfriend feel more body positive and I think that’s amazing! He’s a bear in a city where bears are few and far between, so it’s awesome to see him get compliments and likes from guys all around the world (and it makes me feel lucky to have such a cute guy in my life too, ;) ) I don’t really have any complaints, it’s been a great experience so far. Thank you to the developers! - J

5. 2/5Update this app or stop taking our money

   There hasn’t been an update in two years. Full screen video locks up the app after it plays so you can’t go back without closing the app. Pinch/tap to zoom works inconsistently. You still can’t rotate images to the orientation of your phone. The likes I give posts don’t always stick. I see new message notifications for messages I’ve deleted. Also the app automatically pastes whatever you have in your clipboard at launch. I really do enjoy this app but it’s getting harder to justify paying for a membership if years old issues aren’t being addressed.
