Scam!!DO NOT DOWNLOAD. First they ask for a premier subscription for about $30. Then after paying that you have to buy gems in order to continue to chat. So what’s the purpose of the Premium?

MessagesYou have to pay for a membership then pay to send messages as well. What BS this app is! Would give this negative stars if I could

No real peopleIt’s all AI users and they charge you for a subscription yet still limit the amount of messages. Complete scam
