It's pretty solid, I feel like it could use some polishing especially with the location and area, but otherwise it's great

I like Only Lads because it's not Grindr. The app is uncomplicated and straightforward and often presents new guys rather than the usual suspects

The app is terrible. Don't download. Even if you think it's not that bad, it is.

BE AWARE - This app is just a scam! After 2 weeks of use they all of a sudden asked me to verify my app by billing verification. Can't access or delete my profile & personal photos/info before they receive payment.
