Haven't read through it in the entirety but found it on another site I trust. Figured it may be of use to others here.

I have concerns about this site, tbh. I can't find anything overtly wrong, but a few things stand out:

Unclear focus / purpose. (is this for dating? social interaction? both?)
App-only model, but with a read-only webview for some reason. (Why would you do this, except to allow anonymous scraping and/or collect extra data?)
Supposedly built by a solo trans person, who somehow has resources to create a website and two separate apps.
Includes an iOS app, which has hurdles that few indies are able to deal with.
Closed-source, no clear ownership or transparency.
App collects location data, according to Google.

It could just be my paranoia speaking, but I'd advise against using this. It feels like a honeypot or some kind of trap.
