What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Fixed crash bug when navigating through home page.

Recurring themes

Ads negative
Many users complain about an overwhelming number of ads that frequently pop up, often blocking messages, forcing reloads, or redirecting to app stores, making the app nearly unusable. This contradicts the developer's notes which focused on crash fixes, not ad experience.R1R5R7R9
Performance/Stability negative
The app is frequently reported to freeze, lag, or crash, often requiring users to reboot their phones or reinstall the app. This issue persists despite the latest update notes claiming to have 'fixed crash bug when navigating through home page', suggesting the fix was either ineffective or incomplete.R5R6R7R8
Moderation & Account Issues negative
Users report being muted or blocked without explanation, inability to chat, or not receiving replies from support when trying to resolve account issues. This leads to frustration and an inability to use core features.R15R23R39R46
Social Connection positive
Despite the issues, many users appreciate the app's ability to connect them with new people, make friends, and even find partners. Some enjoy the chat rooms and games.R27R55R57R59
Content & Safety negative
Concerns are raised about inappropriate content, fake profiles, bots, scammers, and general unsafety, with some users describing it as a 'dirty app' or having 'predators'.R5R14R17R20

Who it's for

This app is for individuals looking to meet new people, chat, and play social games, especially those who have a high tolerance for frequent ads and potential technical glitches R27R59. It is not for users who prioritize a seamless, ad-free experience, strong privacy, or reliable app performance R7R10R31R94.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly regarding ads and performance, which contrasts sharply with the lifetime rating. This suggests a significant decline in user experience over time. The developer's notes for the latest update only address a crash bug, which users continue to report as a problem, indicating the fix may not have been comprehensive.

I've been a big fan of Mocospace for many years now and this app makes it so much easier to log in and meet new people and old friends. P.s. I owe it to Mocospace for being the site where I met the most beautiful amazing girl ever. That's right, forever single, no more. Hahaha. Thank you Mocospace :-)

  8. [R85] 5/5 · CA It s great: I like playing games
  9. [R54] 3/5 · CA Why ????: I've been using moco since around 2007 . It's a great place , I've made a lot of good friends there . However last while the banner adds hidden in message boxes and the jump to the App Store every time you change pages ( web and app ) has basically made the site unusable for me unfortunately .
  10. [R86] 5/5 · CA Moco: I love Moco to the fullest guess y? I met my loving, caring, charming husband on it. Big up Moco space. Jamaican empress say that. It nice try it
  11. [R1] 3/5 · US Too much Ads: Too many ads
  12. [R5] 2/5 · US Worse dating app: There are too many ads, It’s glitchy, I give no access to my location, puts up my location, no safe! There’s ads for another dating apps 🤔
  13. [R7] 1/5 · US DISAPPOINTED: The live video feature doesn’t work with my iPhone 14 Max every time an ad plays I have to reboot my phone because I can’t X out to get back to the app And also after a adjustment plays my screen freezes I have to reboot my phone
  14. [R9] 2/5 · US Adds keeps freezing app: Everytime I get a video add it freezing and the x in the corner I press it and don’t do anything!! And I have to close out the app and reload it again!! Gets boring!!
  15. [R6] 3/5 · US Frozen up: Keep freezing up on me
  16. [R8] 2/5 · US Freezes: Seems kinda glitchy
  17. [R15] 1/5 · US Waste of time: When I made my account I couldn’t talk to anybody or add anybody. I still cannot and I have reached out to get it fixed but nobody seems to reply back to get it fixed. I haven’t had a change to really experience the app to know what it’s really about yet. I can see people in a chat room talking to each other but it looks like they can even see any of my messages. Waste of time
  18. [R23] 3/5 · US Account: I just made my account today an not even 10 minutes after making my account the either muting me or blocked me for what reason I didn’t even get into anything yet I couldn’t because I was somehow muted or blocked, which makes no sense when you just make a account. They need to get on the ball and fix this ASAP. Because I can’t even get in the chats can’t even get notifications nothing.
  19. [R39] 1/5 · US Muted for no reason: I got muted for no reason. I don’t really talk to people. I made this to make friends only. But got hooked on the game more then talking. I am married as well which is why I made this. So we could buy each other for fun. I liked the daily free spin. But after 3 days it stop giving it to me. I waited a week or more till I emailed them. That's when I found out I was mute
  20. [R46] 5/5 · US garbage moderation practices: Mutes members without explanation and moderation team is not able to help as Mocospace does not provide them any info on the muting reasons. It’s a horrible practice by a horrible app. If you want to live stream, go to LiveMe. The moderation team there is more relaxed and not mute trigger happy and they give you ways to get your mutes or bans lifted unlike Moco who le
  21. [R14] 1/5 · US Phone number phishing: App wants you # for phishing
  22. [R17] 3/5 · US Miss little not satisfied with this app: Okay for one it's a dirty app with men and women showing their privates everywhere on the wall and posting messages it doesn't matter, it's actually degrading for a woman like me I'm trying to find a decent man but there are nothing but players. Plus scammers it's terrible please fix it and I can understand that Ads are necessary but does they really need t
  23. [R20] 1/5 · US Ok: Super sketchy. All females on here are dirty and need Jesus
  24. [R2] 2/5 · US Rewards are broken: Doesn’t give out the rewards as described. Otherwise a fun app.
  25. [R47] 1/5 · US Chats: It will not let you chat with anyone it says “user is it accept chats” for EVERYBODY
  26. [R94] 1/5 · CA Great App but FREEZES UP OFTEN!!!!: I love this app but I have had to delete and reinstall this many, many, MANY times, as it freezes up.
  27. [R98] 2/5 · CA Moco: Keeps f**king stalling or freezing
  28. [R10] 2/5 · US Too many dang ads: The ads are ridiculous & too dang much ‼️
  29. [R31] 1/5 · US Beyond frustrating: The most buggy ad filled app I’ve ever seen. You wanna click on a profile? You’re forced to watch an ad. You wanna see who’s online? You watch another ad. And I’m taking the ones that you can’t close. Not to mention 99% of the people on here are spam bots. What a joke
  30. [R26] 1/5 · US Moco is weird now: The it’s a gain of bots first off and you all are only connected to others apps like MeetMe and skout etc for the live streaming which we can not even message ppl on those sites which is dumb because no one uses mocospace but small town ppl no one in the city a bunch of predators are on this app and or racist activities moco has just went down period slow technology
