The site is poorly run. If you can even get on without being banned, you have 15 minutes before they put you in ghost mode. Ghost mode is where you disappear from the search engine of the site and you can no longer be found by anyone. Add that to if you do get into a good chat with someone, one of you will either be banned or booted from the site therefore losing that connection. The only thing that seems to thrive on the site is scammers and bots.And if not scammers and bots, then it is pervs and pedos and under age kids or people pretending to be underage to trap you into something.The site is 18 plus and under age kids should not even be on there but it seems they have no problem. The site punishes the real people by booting and banning them and leaves the rest to do as they wish. There are far better sites. This one should be avoided.

Garbage site.
November 2, 2024

Where to start. Both on computer and on laptop, repeatedly get a you have been banned message - after it lets me log on, listing reasons which looks standard. None of these alleged activities I have done.
The phone app now redirects you literally every 30 seconds to some obviously fake claim prize rubbish, and makes it all but impossible to chat.
Chat history does NOT work - it retains zero information about who you have spoken to while logged on making it impossible to do more than one chat at once.
Names and messages, from older men in particular, are offering clearly dubious and borderline illegal activities yet NOTHING is done to prevent these.
I suspect the site is not maintained at all by any humans, and that recently some AI has been installed and is blocking random stuff.
This site is better off closed and deleted.
Zero stars if I could select.

Waste of time and money

I used the free service for dating and found nothing but scammers and panhandlers. Lots of fake users and dead end relationships.

Avoid at all costs
January 15, 2024

Oh my goodness gracious this unholy website should be wiped off the face of the Earth. This website is the home of many predators, criminals, rude people, very old people, creeps, fetishists, scammers, and even bots all waiting to steal any valuable information you have. Once, I pretended to be a CHILD on this website to see how much predators I could catch in a DAY. I caught SO MUCH I can't even remember how much I caught, which tells you how dark this site really is. And even the predators just scratch the surface of the iceberg because there are deeper and more disturbing things I have seen people talk about and do which they have no fear telling you and then stupidly explaining why "it's not wrong" which is extremely disturbing and stupid behaviour. You can rarely have any FRIENDLY conversations on the site because there are so many perverts just wanting pictures and social medias of you and nothing else. They don't even want to get to know you or anything, so don't expect to make real friendships or relationships on this website if that is what you are looking for. This website is also terribly broken and has server errors every 5 minutes and the host isn't even working properly. These developers don't listen to you nor anyone's complaints so don't even try with them because I doubt they will do anything about their users and sloppily made website. The developers should also be ashamed of themselves and be sent to jail for so many red flags. How embarrassing. Please avoid this website if you know what is good for you... Also, I have the pictures of all the predators I have caught. I am not blurring out any of their names, in fact, I will put BOLD RED SQUARES around their usernames so people would figure out who some these weirdos are and block and report them to the right people. I hope they truly go to jail someday. Overall, terrible website. I am done ranting

The men on here are majority creeps. You are not likely to find a decent conversation with a decent person. Even the men who aren't creeps and claim to be different, if you go under a different name and message them pretending to be underage or whatever else, they are just the same as the rest. Site is full of pedos, cheaters, and overall morally bankrupt men. Use at your own discretion when you're bored but I would never date anyone off of here without some serious vetting.

Crap!
June 24, 2023

How this site has the nerve to class itself as a chat site I'll never know! A) it takes forever to load, or doesn't load at all B) it's impossible to have a chat conversation here because it's so slow, and messages you send just disappear from the screen.
All in all a car crash of a site, don't bother!

This site is nothing but pedophiles and scammers of all sorts…And, the worst offenders are the moderators. Tons of out in the open pedophile names, people who have "Under age" in their screen name… phone card scams, streaming scams…The moderators will even use your information to hack into your own personal account.

There is no "chat" going on at this site… FBI, shut this place down.

To be avoided.

It's flooded with predators, child groomers, abuse-lovers and other cybercriminals. Most of them are fake profiles.

For the gullible and sadistic few.

Disgusting pedos
April 23, 2023

This entire site fully supports pedos, sex offenders, harassment, illegal behavior. If u report any of these things the site, its creator, and it's employees do NOTHING. But we the "grown men" get rejected they throw a tantrum and u get banned immediately. This site, it's creator, and it's employees should be shut down and charged for all the illegal things associated with this site. God forbid u try to log in for a normal conversation bc all u do is immediately have people saying the most stuff to you.

Freechatiw us and uk has 90% scammers working the same or similar scam. Many pretend to be females search for men to meet. Then when the haul u in they ask for money such as to cover gas for car journeys or steam card to keep their child happy while they entertain u. Scam is they always want these up front prior to meeting u. Basically to extort u from your hard earn cash with no real reason to meet u. Most these scammers come from Nigeria and US. Beware dont fool for anyone who's asks u for any kind of payment up front

This British women is an anti-vaxxer who promotes conspiracy theories on her cringe inducing Twitter account called Tess Summers 98. She has some kind of dubious agreement with the criminal gangs who own this chat site and she creates numerous aliases both male and female to satisfy her depraved sexual appetites and also to exchange illegal beaches of personal information about unsuspecting members of the public she has taken a dislike toward, with thuggish ex military types, drug dealers from Manchester and corrupt local landlords and lettings agencies. She is utterly corrupt yet still ironically she calls great philanthropists such as Bill Gates corrupt.

You're the WORST
September 14, 2022

Without a doubt the most frustrating, aggravating and broken app on the web. How can anyone carry on a conversation with a junky app that constantly needs refreshed and ends up booting you off?
Your garbage should be banned forever IMHO!
