    You know how they send you app alerts since a while when a guy has starred you back? How extremely much more helpful it would be to get app alerts for when a guy stars you First, since it's only when you star a guy back immediately that you pick up newbies.

    It must be because they only have one system for guys and girls, and they want guys to get a notification when we star them back because that's when they end up starting up a chat? And getting a notification everytime you get a star would make your phone go off like crazy round the clock? Still... I wish there were app notifications for first stars, not star backs. Star backs do nothing for me.

    I noticed about a month or so ago that only sometimes would I get a notification of a star. I didn't realize that those are when a guy stars back. I don't pay too close attention to the app anymore. For months now it's become extremely undependable. Either I don't get a notification at all when I get a message or it comes in anywhere from minutes to maybe 1/2 hour afterwards. Support hasn't helped at all.

    There were a couple of weeks a while back when I noticed the app being a bit dicey about a delay with incoming messages on a few occasions but it seemed to have resolved fairly quickly. I didn't notice those problems for a while now on the app. I assume it's all to do with updates they're doing? The app is still useful for me but you do have to keep manually checking it for messages, stars and new people to be sure and keep your campaign at the right level & position as things fluctuate a lot. Plus, and no-one else has mentioned this I think, but I have noticed a correlation between the algorithm catching you being inactive because you're not answering messages&stars and them flooding you with q-clicks that eat up your campaign money while you're not there to notice it to adjust your bid to make it last. Anytime I know I can't keep a vigilant eye on the app or website for immediate response I lower my bid to an insignificant level.

    Thinking back I've noticed that also. If I walk away from my computer and forget to lower my bid or pause it I get hit with q-clicks (not that that doesn't happen other times lol).

    On the other hand phrendly definitely also knows when you are actively there even if you haven't increased your bid back up yet so you're on page whatever, but they'll start sending guys your way. When you respond fast, you get more. If you're in an active conversation they slow the influx down, a chat dies, they send you more. Or am I just imagining this? For me it seems to happen this way everyday.

    Recently I mentioned on here that a money counter at the top would be helpful, so I only just realized the other day that while there isn't a money counter (presumably because of how that would look on men's accounts?) you can click the heart and it gives you a count of total drinks shared historically. I've just been looking at that heart without ever clicking it before lmao

    So I guess that suffices.

    The closest to that that I experience is that I get a few messages, one after another, from a number of guys and then BAM they seem to stop and then it's quiet for a while. Then it may happen again.

    Only recently have I been clicking on the heart also instead of either counting how close I am to the possible 10 message limit or going to balance to see how much I've made with a specific person. But I'd rather have it where they break it down right there so you could see how much you received in gifts and chat, separately.

    has anyone not been paid. I had money that "went into my bank account" but it was never deposited into my account. I went back and check my deposits from phrendly vs their deposits. I havent had one deposit since March 27th. but their deposits show I have had deposits April 10, 11 and 13th. but there are NONE in my account for those days. I have never had it take that long to show up.

    Do you mean it's showing on Phrendly that you made payout BUT it wasn't deposited into your bank account? I personally receive the deposits 4 days after the payout unless the 4th day lands on a Saturday or Sunday. Those are deposited into my account on Tuesday. If that's not the situation then I would call your bank.

    This is a totally normal timeline. Payouts from 1-7th of this month all cleared. Then my payout from the 8th of this month arrived on the 15th in my account. I got the payouts from 9th & 10th today (16th) and the one from the 11th is pending, I can see it in my account but it will likely be dated in my account on the 17th. Still waiting for the payouts from the 12th/13th/14th/15th/16th (obviously). I wouldn't worry about it at all. As Alleykat mentioned there are no payouts over the weekends so these gaps in payout from certain dates happen regularly.

    I'm thinking there might be additional gaps in payouts over Easter?

    Did you receive it by now? My 11th April payout ended up dated 16th in my account and my 12th April payout just came in today (17th).

    I have another suggestion that I think would make the app/website more user phrendly, if, besides active chats, the rest of the chats could be ordered according to guys who are currently online. So all the green dot guys are towards the top?

    Yeah I had someone tell me yesterday they were using the website because the app is no longer in app store. It's been out of the app store for awhile now. I heard somewhere they were going to bring it back in March but obviously they haven't done that. I'm not really sure what's going on. Would love to know. Maybe I'll e-mail support sometime and ask them what's going on with that.

    Does anyone have info on what this is all about? I didn't know you can bid. Does that come out of your $10 that's always in your account, or you have to have money there above the $10?

    What's this 10 message limit all about? Are we able to message guys now without us paying for messages? Meaning, I was told you have to let him message you first otherwise you get charged for the messages.

    Where's this heart?


    Thanks for any help.

    I think guys are able to send us 10 messages with their free credits when they first sign up before they have to pay-I think that's what the 10 message limit refers to.

    Whoever initiates the messages pays for all of the messages. Whoever initiates a video chat or phone call pays for the video chat or phone call too. So even if a guy has initiated messaging with you, don't video call him or phone call him first because you will end up paying for it. Always make the guy initiate if you are on this site to make money.

    Some guys will try to trick you into paying for messaging by initiating a video call and then hanging up right away, hoping that you'll message them saying "try video calling me again" or something along those lines. Don't fall for it-I almost did once. If the guy initiated the messages and is paying, the heart by his name should be blue. If the heart is red, don't message him or else you'll be the one paying.

    The having to refresh the page all the time is annoying-this has been going on for me for months as well where I miss new messages if I don't constantly refresh the page.

    They really need to advertise better what this site is about-every single guy who messages me doesn't understand that Phrendly is for online chatting only and expects/hopes to meet up in person to either date or fuck. It's very annoying to have to explain to these guys that we can't go off the app and hope that they still stick around and spend money. More and more guys lately are asking what city or state I live in in their very first message or trying to give me their phone number/email/Snapchat, etc. right off the bat or trying to get my info right off the bat. More and more guys are putting their contact info in their profiles such as phone numbers spelled out and outright stating that they refuse to pay for messaging. Even though Phrendly explains that they are for online dating only, most guys don't bother reading it and just assume that Phrendly is a regular dating site. I rarely go on here anymore because it's so annoying having to explain the same things to guys over and over again and I only use it for spare money every once in a while.

    Jamma who used to come on here often and be very helpful and promptly answer questions seems to have disappeared, which is odd.

    That's why I quit working there. The site is set up to deceive customers into thinking they can meet. Phrendly doesn't want to explain because they wouldn't be able to hook as many guys into paying if they removed the hope of it being a dating/hookup site.

    I'd rather work on a site like Sextpanther where it's clear what they are paying for.

    Thanks for any help.
    The heart only appears on the website, not on the app. Everyone who signs up receives a certain amount of free sips to spend before a credit card is required to add drinks, you still earn money on the free sips, but the guy hasn't actually knowingly spent any money until he's added a credit card and he won't be prompted to do so until he's used up his free credits. Your success on Phrendly in part depends on being able to convert guys from using their initial free credit, 10 sips, into a guy who adds a credit card and starts buying drinks consciously. Counting sips on the app or looking at the heart on the website is a way to measure if you're talking to a known spender (you can also find out if you're already talking to a spender in your clicks tab but if you're on the app and leave the chat for a few seconds you might miss incoming sips so counting them might be better right at that moment).

    You can use all funds available in your account to bid, including credit extended to you from phrendly, so if you 0 out on bidding you won't have any funds "always in your account" until you earn more from your phrends. You can find all the info on how bidding works on the app & website.

    I was talking about when guys send pics that won't load, I was not talking about video.

    You can choose the setting "do not allow phone or video calls until we've exchanged messages", that way no guy can try to "trick" you by hanging up, he will have had to initiate a chat first anyway. It's not going to put off real spenders. Besides why would you take any calls without receiving a gift up front?

    You can make a decent amount of money by joking around with guys who are asking the difficult questions about personal details and meeting, if you are annoyed and matter of fact of course the conversation won't go anywhere. You can use charm and humor without lying!

    I'd rather work on a site like Sextpanther where it's clear what they are paying for.
    While the app was still available in the app store the phrendly app description had a very clear capitalized description of the app as NOT A DATING APP. On the website the prompt for joining is to find a "phone phrend". They're being pretty clear. Guys are just stupid, and a lot of them end up enjoying the site for what it is, even if they thought it was something else when they joined.

    As an aside, "enjoying the site for what it is", when it comes to longterm phrends in many cases it's not sexual. If you expect to hook in every guy with sex, you'll miss out on a lot of sweet, fun and harmless dudes who could've become longterm online phrends.

    You can make a decent amount of money by joking around with guys who are asking the difficult questions about personal details and meeting, if you are annoyed and matter of fact of course the conversation won't go anywhere. You can use charm and humor without lying!
    Yes, I know how to change the subject and ask questions about themselves in order to create a good conversation flow-my point is just that it's annoying that the majority of new guys are cheap and trying to give out contact info or ask for our location right off the bat.

    I don't ask for a gift before camming because a lot of guys just want to cam and not gift. I also don't mind if they video call me out of the blue without messaging me first-I've made a lot of money this way off of drunk guys late at night who just video call anyone who is awake and online and many times, they just want to talk or have me watch them jack off, but they're impatient and/or horny and don't want to bother with messaging first. I have my video chat and phone rates jacked up as high as they go, so I make more off of them calling me without messaging first than the slow adding up of 35 cents per text message. Some girls ask for gifts before camming first and some don't-I personally don't because my rates are as high as they go, I take my sweet old time getting naked (sometimes they just want you to watch them or just want to talk) and I'm already a camgirl and completely open about it, so IDGAF if anyone screenshots me.

    Fair enough, I can't really speak for what works best for camming as I don't do it.

If they do video chat, they're already jacking off when they call and the call lasts a few minutes tops. The favoritism that is shown is really unfair too. Why are some girls allowed to lie about their age and not others? And i had gifs that were approved for months all of a sudden be denied for being too revealing. Whoever is in charge of this website sucks. They need to make consistent rules for everybody and stick to them.
    I've had the same experience, just not with the pics & I agree with you.

And ok, a few sips is not losing a fortune but it's still annoying.
    I guess you mean when you are messaging with more than one person it's hard to keep up?

    So do you get more than 35 cents when they send pics?

    What's a q-click?


    So you mean the Stop Campaign button?

    Wow, I hope I remember to do that when I go to bed. I haven't done this before & I rarely get anything from this site, so I don't want to forget & lose money. LOL

Your success on Phrendly in part depends on being able to convert guys from using their initial free credit, 10 sips, into a guy who adds a credit card and starts buying drinks consciously. Counting sips on the app or looking at the heart on the website is a way to measure if you're talking to a known spender (you can also find out if you're already talking to a spender in your clicks tab but if you're on the app and leave the chat for a few seconds you might miss incoming sips so counting them might be better right at that moment).

    You can use all funds available in your account to bid, including credit extended to you from phrendly, so if you 0 out on bidding you won't have any funds "always in your account" until you earn more from your phrends. You can find all the info on how bidding works on the app & website.

    I was talking about when guys send pics that won't load, I was not talking about video.
    Ok, I finally found the area. I don't use the app on my phone. Cell phones are toxic to your body & it would take forever for me to type on a phone as I'm a fast typist.

    I guess I never wanted to do it before b/c when I spent money on CMD at the end, I lost money.

    I'll see what happens with this. It's a lot of money on the bids.

    As for the heart, what does it mean when the heart is empty? No color at all?

    I've never asked for a gift upfront before camming. I'm shocked the guys spend that much money on camming. It's WAY more than what they spend on real camming sites.

    I've tried to be vanilla on this site & it doesn't work. They just disappear & I find it really hard to communicate with them & I'm a HUGE communicator, but I suck at small talk. I'm a deep person.

    And when I go on cam with these guys which has only been twice so far, they clearly want sex, not to talk.

    Thanks for your help.
