Generally a good app. The free version does its job well which is connecting you to people. The ads aren't too frequent - at least not for me. However, the app is a bit laggy. Also, a basic feature such as hiding your profile shouldn't require subscription. I really don't like the Sting feature and I feel like it's only there to emphasize the "Hornet" concept. So many people send stings because they don't have the guts to start an actual conversation.

Terrible! The new update made the app freeze a lot. When I want to shift between tabs, it gets stuck and have to close and reopen the app again. Also, many advertisements are shown!

There is a notification showing in the app, but I can't find the message (in all inboxes, unread). It seems this issue hasn't been fixed even with the latest version. Also, there are too many advertisements. Quite disappointing.
