Good App gone bad – WOLF Qanawat Review

Edited 9/24/20: The blatant discrimination has not only continued unabated but has worsened. Promos, contests, prizes (including newest iPhones and iPad pros), events, money, etc. are all offered to the Arab users....and ONLY the Arab users. Not one other race or nationality are offered even a small token of what the Arabs are offered. When the staff has been questioned about when they will offer any of this to the rest of the users, their responses have been “it’s in the works for in the future” and “we don’t have enough staff for the English (non-Arabic speaking) side of Wolf/Palringo.” So basically, they’re racist and discriminatory and have no attentions with not being racist and discriminatory. Frankly, what disgusts me the most is that the Arab males have spent the last nearly 11 years being vile to the women users. The majority of sexual harassment and unwanted/unsought sexual advances (e.g. cockbombing) has come from the Arab male community. It is so prevalent, that, when an Arab male joins a group and doesn’t speak, there is a 99% chance that he now sending advertisements and/or sexually explicit comments and pictures to every user in the group. Wolf/Palringo catering specifically to these users is a slap in the face to all the women users on this app. Edited 3/12/20: Wolf, formerly Palringo, is a racist app and has been for a few years. Discrimination in favor of Arabs, who have a reputation for being nasty to all women (unsolicited PMs, unsolicited and unwanted penis pictures, rude, degrading, etc.). Wolf/Pal has many promotions and whatnot for Arabs and Islam but little to nothing for any other race, nationality, or religion. Last I checked, this isn’t 1955. Edited 12/10/15 This newest release as of today is awful. White flickers when switching between groups, terrible new keyboard layout, horrible scrolling and such of how chat and comments act- if I could get rid of this update, I would in a heartbeat. Edited 12/5/15: It's now to the point that often you can't connect at all. Just a couple days ago, a global notification was sent out that "gremlins" had caused a severe disruption to two of their bots. This was highly inaccurate and disgusted many of the users. The disruption was to basic use, to the bots, had been happening for two weeks (although the bot disruption happened on two different occasions for two days each time during the two weeks), and is still happening even now. When I beta tested for several months, this kind of ridiculous, flat out crappy service would not have been tolerated. Whoever is running the show needs fired. Original Review 2012ish I used to really like this app (been a member since 2009). But now, especially with all the changes made, it's just worthless. The customer service is horrific, the changes to the filters asinine, the guidelines horrendous. And despite all the bug "fixes" there are still many problems with bugs.
