Some advice to offer for genuine individuals that are using this app
This app is a waste of time (to some degree) and I would advise everyone using it not to invest their emotions into it. Just like the other negative reviews given, I can definately confirm that there are a lot of timewasters who are looking for a 'fling' or would message you for a while and then ignore you. I assume this is because most of the profiles are fake, or are inactive.
As I had blurred my pictures due to privacy, I can confirm that I did receive a few messages from the 'so called potentials', but as soon as I revealed my pictures, they would block me without a logical reasoning (these were people who were Doctors, lawyers or in other words people that were working in prestigious professions). Not only is this unprofessional, but it shows how insecure and immature some men can be (I am not judging every man out there as I will futher explain the positive sides I had encountered in a moment). As an adult, I firmly believe that it would be wise to atleast out of politness say that there isnt any compatibility instead of just 'blocking' the person. I have also unfortunately seen a few profiles with unislamic pictures (if they had a screening in place, then I am 100% sure that something would have been done about it). On one occassion, I was talking to a guy who eventually started to send me very explicit messages (despite claiming to be super religious with a beard) (astaghfirullah) and it made me wonder how people like that get away with it (I did end up blocking him). It also upsets me as it tarnishes the reputation of genuine brothers out there which I firmly believe do exist.
I have given it 2 stars as I do believe that there are genuine people out there who are using this app to find their potential spouse, as I have personally encountered a few men who were polite and I myself had a genuine, halal conversation with them. But saying this, there are MANY TIMEWASTERS and it will take time for you to figure out who those genuine people are.
I would say for those who are looking for a genuine and halal relationship to use this app as from my own experience, it has allowed me to grow by enabling me to distinguish between the characteristics of what I want in my future potential InshaAllah.
I would'nt recommend investing in the 'premium' subscription, as I can confirm with the other reviews that it would be waste of money. Their customer service is also very appauling, as you are basically on your own when using this app, and no one will/would respond to you if you do encounter any issues.
I really hope this review helps you all out there, and may Allah make it easier for those that are genuinely ready to look for that special 'someone'. Ameen.
