Pros and cons of Hornet - Queer Social Network app for iPhone and iPad

Hornet - Queer Social Network app good for

Needs more people there but generally very nice. Would prefer an online only filter
Finally I can choose the type of guy I want to see for free. Nice design. Fast. More useful functions.
Only 4 stars because to see who checked you out, search by height and weight shouldnt be available only for premium user! Anything else top!
Very good and usable, unfortunately not so many users yet but they are getting more and more every day. Also better than Planetromeo
It looks nice, lots of space for profile write up and multiple pictures. Bright colours and white background is nice. I like the map part of it! You can go and make pen-pals in different countries (as long as they reply to you). Only glitch is sometimes new messages dont show was unread and then you dont realize someone has messaged you. Also, would be nice to show if people have read your message. So you dont message them a million times thinking maybe it didnt send, and you can just forget about attempting to talk to them since they dont like you anyhow :P...
Its a pretty good app overall, some small bugs here and there but its okay!

Some bad moments

what the hell? cant go on with my regular profile and have to make a new one? with all my chats gone and my pics? shame on you!
The weekly email promising a look at who looked at your profile actually only shows the new users. Its a scam!
Just bunch of fake profiles and several useless features. Other apps are better and more used, at least in Germany.
Sorry but 59,90 Euro for a year premiums service is much to expensive!
I cant even open the app now. Every time I open it, I get an error code 401 saying it cant connect and will retry in 5 seconds, then it crashes after retrying
This new version is pop up ad city. Every profile click means a new pop up. So annoying I think Ill uninstall after many years use.
