"After a disappointing experience on Tinder, I tried a lesbian-exclusive app and this was the first that popped up on Google Play. I love that it's easy to make a profile and message other members. It gets pretty boring because there aren't games or whatnot, but on the other hand I know I can survive on the free membership indefinitely." - Sheila, 22

"It's just recently that I've accepted my self as a bisexual. Lucky me, I have a supportive family. My sister was the one who introduced me showed me this site. She said it's time for me to find the girl for me. Been using it for a couple of weeks now. I haven't gone to a date yet but the members here are very good with conversations. I'm so glad I've downloaded it. Planning to upgrade to premium membership soon." -Carla, 29

“Wapa is one of the first lesbian dating apps but it hasn't been able to maintain its status. Its simple interface and very few features don't amount to much when it comes to appealing to lesbians.”
