  1. 4/5Great, but be careful.

    The app in itself is great. I get lots of adds hourly. I always have somebody new to talk to. And I can see who I swiped right on. However; I screen shotted on accident I got banned for 24 hours. I’m still in the middle of my ban. I ask that they fix this. Like I get wanting privacy and all, but I feel like it should be if you screen shotted multiple times on the same conversation. Or something to tell that the screen shot was on purpose. Also I wish there was a way to block someone. And if there is please tell me all I can do is press the Pass button if I don’t like them, but they can still see my profile. And if a guy I’m talking to on there turns out to be a creep he can still reach out. Even if I pass on his account and delete our conversation he can still get a hold of me on there. Please fix that as well. Thank you for reading this.

  2. 3/5Update: verification should be completely optional

    I blocked/declined/reported several accounts/requests promoting NSFW content but they're still coming back with a different/similar name that intend to violate your TOS guidelines: (No NSFW content, no Onlyfans promos etc) I still strongly suggest that you implement a device/IMEI ban from creating new accounts so that they won't come back on Wave and also force people to buy new phones in order to keep using Wave if they familiarize with the guidelines. Anyway it still decent some new friends/streaks but still needs a lot a work. Edit: With the recent update, verification should be completely optional without forcing a VIP membership like many apps like Wink have optional verification. As a person who doesn't like showing my face, I believe I shouldn't have to pay $25 per month (calculation from $5 per week) in order to not have my face on my profile while using the app. Only certain features like showing verified profiles should require verification and the rest of the core features should be left alone, my suggestion is you should require everyone to a have a phone number verification to keep bots out just like Mapsy does.

  3. 5/5BEWARE!!!

    Be careful of what information you give people! Or images you share with them it’s the Internet you don’t know who’s in the other end of the screen. And in case you do share something you shouldn’t have(and they just have your phone number) don’t listen to what they tell you to do. I mean regardless you shouldn’t listen to what they tell you. They make a “post” of you and said image saying they’ll expose you. They’d also use a free phone number lookup which doesn’t give much information other than the general location of you. You’ll be fine no damage can be done to you if they just have your phone number. IF YOU HAPPEN to give them your instagram just delete your instagram and make a new one. Lol maybe some people will see it but you shouldn’t give these people what they want. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!!

  4. 3/5Great app but terrible protection.

    This app is by far one of the best dating apps or app to find friends; however the app doesn’t seem to have good protection against bots. Whenever I go through to see who I can add I just get bombarded of bots or people pretending to be who they aren’t. You can clearly see in the verification photo that it’s just a picture of a phone with someone else’s face. The security measures just completely ignore this. This is another thing that isn’t really relevant but I feel like there has to be a way to get rid of content creators from Feeds. I’m trying to find friends and relationships. I’m not trying to buy something from a woman who sells her body. The membership is at a great cost of just $5, but Every week seems excessive. I recommend going for like a $12 a month membership.

  5. 1/5Strong Warning

    So I won’t lie I’ve been looking around on here to meet some new people, after a good day though I started noticing strong hints of fake profiles and what seemed like scammers. I went ahead and added some of these scammers and started chatting with them to see what they’re game is and they play the whole “selling NSFW material” gig, well on the side I run a small scam buster operation so I decided to use some of these tools on these scammers and yep my suspicions were right I was seeing IP address pings in Singapore and Nigeria mostly playing as New York white girls so folks just watch yourself out there. Also note to the devs the scammers have figured out they can take another persons phone probably a coworker at their scam center and pull a pic up of the girl smiling they’re playing as and it works for the verification process. Not sure how you guys could fix that I would add a private verification process that requires personal information the scammers can’t easily get like a driver license or something of that nature but that’s just my recommendation.
