One user begged, 'Please don't hide preferences/filters behind a paywall,' but woman disagreed, saying, 'Charge for it to keep the trolls and unserious ones out.' Another mused: 'Maybe I will finally find my Prince Charming!' The creators said that the app will be available anywhere in the U.S. when it launches.
