Features are slowly becoming non-functional. Can't see when messages are read, online/offline status is not correct, distance takes hours to update sometimes, sometimes it never does, and people in other states will forever say 2 miles away. Adding videos to albums doesn't usually work. Messages will take 20 minutes to show up, but then it'll say they sent it a few minutes after my last message, causing unnecessary tension and confusion.

I love having "near [location]" selected, I start a chat, and it tells me they're hundreds of miles away. Very nice and user friendly, especially since it tells you after you 'unlock' a profile, which you can only do so many on the free plan. Definitely making me not want to spend money on this with issues like this, especially with how expensive the paid plans are.

The recent update (March 2024) is no bueno. Messages aren't showing up when sent. Getting notifications of new message or album received but nothing is there. This is giving me Sniffies buggie vibe. Not able to see old messages sent until you close and open the app multiple times. I actually pay for the app, but seems like things aren't getting better with the development upgrades they're trying to get users to install and update.
