I built a dating app because I'm tired of apps that crash and paywall basic features - looking for beta testers

Hey everyone,

I'm a developer and I just finished building Sprung - a dating app that's meant to be an alternative to the broken apps we're all stuck with.

Why I built it:

Most dating apps either crash constantly, spam you with bots, or lock basic features behind paywalls. I got tired of paying $30/month just to see who liked me or send more than 5 messages a day. So I built something myself.

What makes it different:

• No labels - it's for everyone (gay, straight, bi, poly, questioning). You don't have to fit into a box.
• Actually functional - real-time messaging that doesn't lag, profiles that load, no mystery crashes
• Free version that actually works - you shouldn't need to pay just to use basic features
• Safety features that work - blocking, reporting with actual moderation, muting conversations

What I need from you:

I'm looking for beta testers to use the app, break things, and tell me what sucks. This is a real beta - some things might not work perfectly, but I'm actively fixing issues as they come up.

Feedback Incentive:

The 20 most detailed and useful bug reports or feature requests get a $20 Amazon gift card. Not a contest - just appreciation for helping me build something better. Submit through the in-app feedback tool.

Where I'm testing:

Starting in upstate NY (Buffalo, Rochester, Albany) but the app works anywhere. If you're in those areas, even better for matching, but anyone can join.

The reality:

This is one person (me) trying to build something that works. I'm not a billion-dollar company. Your feedback directly shapes what this becomes. If it sucks, tell me. If it works, tell me that too.

Drop questions in the comments or DM me. I'll respond.

Thanks for giving this a shot.
