As seen from the reviews, users have found the app to be useful in terms of finding long term relationships or meeting new female friends. Users have found the app to be useful as it is a limited and small community which helps to reduce the need to sift through the other sex. All and all, users have found the app to be extremely welcoming and open towards one another, regardless of their sexual identity or preferences.
Due to the fact that Her is a geolocation app, the nationality of users vary with location. For example, there is a larger amount of foreigners on Her in Japan in comparison to Japanese people.

 

Cons:

The biggest gripe that most users have with this app is with the glitchy user interface. Many users have found the basic functions of this application to be buggy after the update. For example, a reviewer has the app was unable to push notifications and some users have also mentioned the app lagging or shutting off occasionally.
Another aspect to be aware of is the advertisements being shown on the app after viewing other profiles. Besides that, the app will also try to push free users to use a premium account instead.
