布咕 - 留学生大本‪营‬ 17+

So I filled in my profile a few weeks ago, but it is still pending for review. To complete the profile to 100% (with everything else filled in except Instagram I was at 92% completeness) I will have to link my Instagram to it.

Now here is the rub. I dislike the hyped social media and tools such as Instagram and Snapchat. I simply don’t like them and I believe it is my personal right to not have accounts with them. I don’t understand why having those is a must, and the lack thereof puts me lower on the review priority list. Instagram is but one of the myriads of social media junk out there these days. Why does bugoo choose that particular one? What if people prefer Pinterest to it or some other alternative photo sharing sites such as Flickr? If this is intentional the app designer really is narrow minded and kind of bigoted.

Unless this is corrected, no stars for this app.

Update:
After posting this review the customer service contacted me shortly and resolved the said issue. I have begun to use the app and will update the review as things develop.

亲爱的用户，谢谢您对布咕的兴趣！人工审核流程可能给您带来了一些小误会，请接受我们诚挚的歉意。

布咕的创立之衷，就是为优秀，有趣的年轻小伙伴们带来一个可靠可信的社交平台。布咕精心设计了一系列独特的功能，例如人工审核机制。满足要求的用户最快30分钟之内就会被审核通过，资料更完整的用户也会被优先审核，所以请给我们一点点耐心哟~ 另外，除了真实性，布咕希望让大家能够用丰富的资料展示自己的每一面，比如很多用户都链接了Instagram。同时，布咕也非常尊重用户的个人选择，也知道并不是所有用户都会使用社交账号，所以Instagram的接入并不是强制的哈~

为了保护您的隐私，您具体的账户问题我们会主动通过app内客服进一步沟通，谢谢您对布咕的理解与支持哟！

I like that it gets people to know each other in a more sincere and mentally connected way, comparing with other platforms of this kind. 制作者很用心，审核制度很完善（不会像积木一样系统判断是假照），整个页面用起来就很舒服的感觉。这种对每个用户的认真和谨慎打破了很多以往交友软件的局限性。填资料的过程would also be a good process for you to examine yourself, your passion, your values, and how you’d like to project yourself. I feel like it would be a good place to make friends that last instead of just排解寂寞. I feel like it’d be efficient way to meet people that clicks with you in multiple facets of your life.

感谢您对布咕团队的支持和深度的评价~ 这也正是我们想要表达的： 走心的产品定位，认真的人工审核制度，多角度的资料展示设置，「布咕」一个就够了~
我们相信，营造一个走心的交友社区需要产品和用户共同的努力，因为产品的用心而鼓励到用户去认真地完善资料，也是对我们很大的认可哟！如果有任何问题和想法都欢迎随时和我们的客服小姐姐沟通，提出宝贵意见，帮助我们改进哦~
Hope you can 早日 meet the one who clicks with you at 布咕！

I’ve been using the app for only a couple days but it’s been really interesting. They limit the amount of swipe you can do and also limit the number you can check of people that liked you. I think this is thoughtful and really showing that the app is trying to help people build longer and deeper relationship instead of the fast food style. Also the customer service is so cute and responsive and I’m in love haha.

感谢你能认同布咕的理念！布咕通过人工审核接纳了很多不仅【皮囊好看】还【灵魂有趣】的用户，所以希望每一个布咕er能更多的focus在已有的match身上，而不是无止境的刷新新的人。我们想表达，对一个人注入时间和精力是有意义的，为了寻找而寻找是无意义的。希望布咕是你用过的最后一个dating app~
