Almost Great – Hey! VINA - Meet New Friends Review

So in general I love the concept of this app. Everything from the layout, to the profile customizations, and the way that you can sort through the different people on the app to find someone who has similarities to you, is all very good. My only problem is that the app hides under being “free”, but in reality it is not. You can build your profile and swipe right (for hey) or left (for skip) on different people as much as you want, but if you want to so much as view who has said “hey” back to you, you have to pay for a membership... I totally get having a membership option for setting up group events (which is an option on the app) or for some other features, but to simply view or chat to the people who have tried to connect with me, I have to pay. That is so dumb to me. I swiped through so many people to try and connect and was curious as to why no one was reaching out to me. Now I know it’s probably because 90 % of them don’t have a membership and can’t see that I am the one who sent them a ‘hey’. Again, you can SEE that you were sent a ‘hey’ but if you want to see WHO sent you it, you have to pay for a membership, which isn’t cheap. The most affordable membership option is a 6 months option that comes to $7.99 a month. So ultimately I am going to delete the app and try something that has more basic free features and makes it easier and more affordable to simply see the profiles who I am matching with. Vina, please consider this. I will gladly redownload if you make the app more accessible.
