APP is dead so im deleting it, It also seems to be a waist of time for making friends due to people talking to you for maybe an hour then vanishing forever. plus this app doesn't give message notifications so you cant reply when someone msges you unless you're glued to the app.

Every time I try to upload more than one image, it completely scrambles the order of the images. It has been doing this since the very beginning and this bug has never been fixed.

Thank you for the detailed report. Image order scrambling on multi-photo uploads is a bug we want to look into, and we apologize that it has persisted. Please email support@barq.app with your device details so our team can investigate. ~Barq Support Team

Most Recent: Please give me an option to turn off group post like notifications!! Also, group posts are referred to as "replies" always Updated: Thank you for responding so quickly! I sent an email and haven't received a response yet, but after some time scrolling and liking profiles, I tried again and it's pending now. Not sure what changed but I'm excited to use it! Previous: HELP! Stuck on "Error: Invalid operation. Please try again later" when trying to submit my new profile for approval.

Admins/mods/ owners, whoever they are, do not address reports when it involves someone publicly posting slurs or derogatory things on their profiles/pictures/posts. Guess they can't enforce their own rules. Not to mention, is eggregiously terrible with it's UI. No wonder it has 2 stars. Just remove the app altogether at this point

Thank you for the feedback. Slurs and derogatory content on profiles or posts violate our guidelines, and we are sorry your reports were not acted on. Please email support@barq.app with the usernames involved so our team can review them directly. ~Barq Support Team
Barq sucks, here's why. Half of the people on there aren't even real, and majority of them just steal pictures and pretend that they're that person. Not only that, some of them legit have AI generated profiles. 99% of the people you do meet on there just either ignore you, ghost you, or block you out of nowhere. I've had over 31 different people ignore me even after texting them again a week or two later. Just go outside to find new friends, this app is NOT worth being ghosted by everyone for.

Thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry the experience has been discouraging. Stolen photos and AI generated images violate our policies and are removed when flagged. Please report suspicious profiles in-app and email support@barq.app with usernames so our team can review them. ~Barq Support Team
I've gotten several DM's on other IM platforms stating there are user accounts with my information/username and yet after downloading I find not a single record of such a thing. This means the staff are purposefully sending alarming messages (fear mongering) in order to bring in users. This type of behavior is pathetic and I can see why people tend to avoid this platform. I'll make sure I let people know exactly how you obtain your userbase and how to avoid wasting their time with your platform.

“I love it so far but I do have a small requests.”
“I really like this concept and think it has a lot of potential, but I do have a few gripes with it.”
“That said, adding any animation that covers the screen and makes it difficult to actually see the app to use it?”

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
