Users’ opinions:
“Flurv is just ok, I love it. It’s not the best or safest app but I already learned how to avoid various unpleasant things and find normal people. I made many friends with its help and found a boyfriend too. It helped a lot that I am not too picky or snobby. A nice good-looking and kind-hearted dude was just ok for me!” (Sonya, 22, New York City)
“I hate it, but I keep on using it. So much stuff that is annoying and time-wasting, but once in a while you manage to find good guys. I used it both for hanging out as friends and for hookups, it worked. I would never recommend it for serious relationships though, there are other platforms for that.” (Molly, 26, Hawaii)
“I use it and all my friends use it, it’s cool. If to know how to get through, you can get fine chicks for one evening or more. Also great for the evenings when you don’t know what to do, you can quickly find someone to watch football together or go to the bar and make a party night.” (Michael, 23, Seattle)
Expert’s conclusion:
Flurv could seem just another app for superficial communication or fooling the users, but we have to be fair: there are too many positive responses already to ignore them. This application indeed helps people to meet, have fun or build deeper relationships. At least, it allows to feel the diversity of people and this world. It’s exactly the kind of impressions young people need.
For sure, Flurv still needs a lot of serious improvements. Its security level is pretty low although they promise the opposite. No one has been hacked so far, but the accounts are attacked by bots and spammers. The number of ads also increased to the maximum. Although the nudity is forbidden, there are way too many photos of nude bodyparts and other vulgar stuff. To get a qualitative service and communication, one has to constantly navigate among all those icebergs of sh…t.
Technical problems also appear too often to call it stable. With such an ambitious goal to embrace many countries with one app, the developers and customer support could do much better.
It’s also important to consider that Flurv is very, very far from classical dating. There are many bisexual people although it isn’t said anywhere and it’s quite unexpected for many. There are also perverts who may hunt for very young users showering them with naughty photos and sexual offers. No courtship, just pornography. Ready?.. But it isn’t an option for most of people. Others are less irritating but they look very unusual having many body modifications etc. etc. So if you downloaded the app with the aim to find a classical prince charming – forget it. Have fun or leave.
We would recommend Flurv to 25+ people who already know well how to protect themselves online and search for matches through any virtual obstacles. We do not recommend Flurv to late teens or 40+ old-fashioned folks as their feelings can be hurt.
