Whomever designed the chat function overlooked something really critical. The location button is right next to the send button. You can accidentally share your location. Oh and if you want to Unsend your location you must be a paid member. I think that this one in particular should be available for EVERYONE. It is extremely unsafe!

UPDATE sadly not as good as it used to be. app is more cluttered, esp advertising for pay for features, &what looks like another app. match feature removed. OVERALL nice variation on the theme. updates over time have improved speed of loading (app & profiles). liked it overall. BUT limited as free user - most annoying is very limited message history - can't see older messages or older conversations, &not possible to screenshot messages as reminder. app has become less accessible over time.

App is broken. It tells me to update even though I'm using the latest version. Too many ads, even if you have a paid subscription. I shouldn't need to pay a subscription just to read previous messages that were already sent when I used to be subscribed. Same with media: these features should carry over after the subscription ends.
