"After a disappointing experience on Tinder, I tried a lesbian-exclusive app and this was the first that popped up on Google Play. I love that it's easy to make a profile and message other members. It gets pretty boring because there aren't games or whatnot, but on the other hand I know I can survive on the free membership indefinitely." - Sheila, 22

"It's just recently that I've accepted my self as a bisexual. Lucky me, I have a supportive family. My sister was the one who introduced me showed me this site. She said it's time for me to find the girl for me. Been using it for a couple of weeks now. I haven't gone to a date yet but the members here are very good with conversations. I'm so glad I've downloaded it. Planning to upgrade to premium membership soon." -Carla, 29
