User Reviews for Lex: Queer & LGBTQ+ Friends

Developers make no attempt for accessibility

Myself and others have been requesting a dark mode version of Lex for over 3 years and the requests get ignored, despite the fact that requests for a dark mode feature have been at the top of the requests page for over 3 years. On top of not allowing to switch to dark mode for visual accessibility, Lex now added a button that floats/hovers over the top of the page and covers 25-50% of the actual content for people who have their text size set to larger than the the default size. Despite the fact that Lex has a requests page for users to submit feature requests, I have never seen anything at the top of the list be added to app. Only random things no one asked for, like "people looking for friends nearby" that actually only shows people 100+ miles away, and a button that floats over every page saying "Write a post" when there was already a button for that anyway.

A great community but technically frustrating

Don’t get me wrong, I love this app and the community on there (with some exceptions lol). But the experience has kinda been ruined for me, because of the bugs. I used to get this particular bug occasionally and it was annoying, but bearable. When I open the app, it tells me I don’t have an internet connection, yet I have both 5G and Wi-Fi, very stable connection, and working for all other apps on my phone. Sometimes it will work as intended and I can open the feed. But now this bug happens more often than not, and it makes the app unusable, because I can only actually use it every ~100th time I open it, which is really disappointing and frustrating. I even thought my account was deleted the other day because of some bug where my number was removed from my account, and I wasn’t able to log in with my email either due to some loading issue.

An app that’s actually free of straight male chasers

This app isn’t treated as a game unlike other apps. It’s a very slow burn and I love taking the time to think about what I want to post in an add. I don’t feel rushed to match or go out with anyone. I feel like I can take the time to like someone over a long period of time just through the adds they post. Hopefully they like the romantic things I dream about too. I also have the freedom to develop a relationship with someone far away. It’s also from what I’ve experienced free of chasers who tend to harass folks like me. Instead I can seek out someone I could connect with who is also wlw.

Feature suggestion

I love the variety of uses this app has. Way more fun than tinder, it’s kinda ruined other dating or connection apps for me. Only thing I want to suggest is a way to limit who responds, or how. For instance, I am only interested in people local to my area. I specify this every time and I still have people states away responding to me or messaging me. It’s frankly annoying. They’re either bots or they do not have reading comprehension. Therefore, I want to limit the radius of people who can reply to me. Would also love to see “relationship style/preferences” in the bio. Like monogamous, polyamorous, relationship anarchy, open, other, etc.

Beautiful App ❤️🌈

⚔️🌈I absolutely love Lex. It was my first step to meeting people in the community after coming out during a pandemic. I was so nervous but the anonymity actually made it easier.Lex is so down to earth and refreshing compared to other superficial SSmedia apps. It makes me feel calm and makes queer life the norm (as it is)😌❤️. Seeing how everyone thinks ranging from “let’s have steamy sex” to “let’s bake cookies” or “ wanna be a goblin and go to a lake” makes my Sapphic heart soar and I know that the people talking to me are there for my personality — not my looks (which has always been an insecurity of mine).I’ve made lasting friendships from Lex and will forever recommend it 🌈⚔️

Unsafe and abandoned

This app has such a wonderful concept and design but is somehow a less safe place to be than Grindr was at launch as there is virtually no moderation. Bots and scammers are granted first class in the ecosystem and preserving locality is basically a manual process. I don’t know why people in Jakarta and Sweden are messaging me when I post about local PDX goings on, but something stinks when it’s even possible to end up in this scenario in the first place. I understand wanting to make global connections, but not letting people constrain their visibility is a massive security risk and I would have thought queer people making apps for queer people would have understood that. But that’s the gap in understanding at the level you need to be to work in tech; being so detached from reality and self-absorbed by product benefits that they don’t consider anything practical. Disappointing at best.

DO NOT USE LEX!

Do not use this app! This app is for the most part is almost entirely community based which means anyone on the app has the right to ban your account for any reason they see fit. Lex support also has the means to ban your account for any reason they see fit and because of their terms of service agreement they take no responsibility or blame for any discrepancy on your account! They are not liable for failure to uphold their Terms of Service, and by signing their terms you cannot hold their company, their affiliates, suppliers, officers, employees, and/or affiliates liable or responsible for any loss or damages! THIS APP IS A SCAM! DO NOT USE LEX!

Please read!!!

I never leave reviews on apps. Mostly cause I don’t care enough to tell people what I think. But this app-wow. Just wow. I’m sure by the time you’ve found this app you’ve already tried Tindr, Grindr, Taimi, Bumble, Meetme, Badoo etc- this is the magnum opus, the creme de la creme, this app works because it gets rid of the picture. It gets rid of the ability to like or not like someone based on what they look like and who I interpret them as. It works because it just brings people together regardless of what u look like. I feel like I’m getting repetitive so let me get to my favorite thing. Never. Ever. In my 21 years of queer socializing have I met so many amazing people. Best part is they all live within 50 miles. With any other app it would give me people farther away just to get me to click more and use it more. This app has been nothing but wonders and I promise I’m not being paid to leave this review. Please. Keep this app a safe and wonderful place. Keep this a place that our community can use. Ik there isn’t really a way to keep bad people out or predatory straight cos people out but-as long as the team stays on top of getting rid of the bad apples that get reported- this app is the only social media app I need.

Downhill every update

The app started simple enough: an homage to the personals ads in lesbian managzines like On Our Backs. And slowly, it has devolved into a cross between Craigslist and Instagram; Grindr and Twitter. Each update continues to make changes that lessen the experience of a purely textual communication platform, into one that seems to attract a very niche specific audience that skews young and white. Older gays: stay away, don’t waste your time. The more I use the app the less faith I have in queer community. Not only that the app crashes constantly and there are perpetual bugs. It’s become over run with scammers and people using it as a drug dealing platform. Boo. Lex is for the birds. I’m off to write a personal in the paper, a better use of my time.

My phone number is private

Unfortunately they seem to not allow email sign up any more. I don’t share my phone number. It’s private information and companies need to stop acting like they have a right to it.Response to response: That’s false. Using a phone number is no more a secure identifier than email. Phone numbers are easily spoofed or obtained via virtual phone apps and services. I mean just look at these reviews and determine for yourself if the app is safe. Note the real reason why they collect phone numbers, well I’ll just refer you to their privacy policy. “ We may also allow third parties to place and read their own cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information through the Services and those service providers may need access to your information, including personal data, to perform fulfillment and other services. “
