Our app is tailored to help you find potential matches based on your preferences, special interests, and personality.

Latest update broke sending images. You can't go to select an image to send in a chat as the app closes the second you leave it so when you select your image, there's nowhere to insert it to. The app also seems to 'refresh' Everytime you switch apps or leave the app entirely which leaves the chat you were in. It's frustrating and I'm unsure why this is. Edit: Both issues were fixed with the latest update!

The app seems promising, and i was excited to interact with fellow autistic people in my area, but i have one gripe with the matching system. There's not as many people in my area as I was hoping there were, and I made the mistake of being more picky than I should've, so I really wish there was a way to review your entire history of skipped matches. It's just don't really want to extend my distance for new matches when i don't have many travel options, but that's unfortunately all i can do. :(

It has only been a day, but I'm enjoying it. I have been described on multiple occasions to having a "very thin spine". I'm very sensitive and because of this I just avoid speaking out period to avoid possible negative interactions. But this app really feels comfortable and safe. You're free to stand out and speak without worry of negativity. It's like a facebook for like minded individuals exclusively and I love it!
