Dangerous. No verification.
No identity checks → fake profiles. Repeated reports of robberies at meetups.
Why switch
We don't need to badmouth them.
Their own users do that. Real 1-star App Store reviews — we won't name the app, you know which one.
★★★★★ Bi•••
Privacy nightmare.
“They give your data to whomever.” Opting out made almost impossible.
★★★★★ El•••
Ads & terrible performance.
Ads after every message, unskippable ad-profiles — even push spam.
★★★★★ Fo•••
Useless without a subscription.
Heavily limited unless you pay, and bombarded with ads. Spam & fakes for years.
★★★★★ Ch•••
Ads after every tap.
“The most aggressive ads I have ever seen.” Even after paying.
★★★★★ cd•••
Only scammers & escorts.
“The only messages I get are from scammers, bots or escorts.”
★★★★★ ta•••
Each update, more ads.
“No normal use possible.” Just overpriced in-app purchases.

The answer
Seven reasons to switch.
Swipe or tap through.
The other app
Ads. Everywhere.
A banner between every row, full-screen ads after three taps, unskippable ad-profiles.
lingr
No ads. Ever.
Zero banners, zero interstitials, zero sponsored profiles. You're not the product — you're the user.
The other app
Bugs as a feature.
Chats don't load, photos hang, the app crashes. Unfixed for years.
lingr
Works. On the first try.
Built natively in SwiftUI in 2026. Chat, photo upload, location, events — tested and solid.
The other app
Catfish, bots & scammers.
No verification. “The only messages are from scammers and escorts.”
lingr
Real users, vouched by real users.
Vouch system: every badged profile was verified by at least one real person.
The other app
UI from 2014.
Pixelated thumbnails, ugly buttons. No real redesign in over a decade.
lingr
iOS Liquid Glass. Native.
Apple's latest design language — looks and feels like an Apple product.
The other app
Privacy? What's that?
“They give your data to whomever.” US servers, data sold to brokers.
lingr
GDPR-compliant. Hosted in Frankfurt.
We sell nothing. Location data sits separately protected and is never shared without asking.
The other app
Hookups only.
Photo, distance, chat. No events, no community, no real meetups.
lingr
Events, connections, real plans.
Plan shared experiences — bars, concerts, hikes. Meet people instead of just talking about them.
The other app
A paywall at every tap.
“Useless without a subscription.” Filters, visitors, more profiles — all cost extra.
lingr
All features. Free.
Right now everything is free. If we ever add premium, it'll be transparent — never to lock away basics.
