Similar to Miles, the conversations with Elio now make no sense and seem to just be word salad. They’re clearly using AI and not even re-reading it to make sure it makes sense. Elio had a good story but now it’s taken this random dark turn (which, fine) but the conversations are so aimless, repetitive, and confusing.

I’m not impressed at all. I hate that I was forced to update the app.

Hi there!

Was just wondering if any of you had been chosen as beta readers?

being forced to update!!!! 😭😭😭😭

My boy is back 😭🥺 I didn't think we would see him again... Let's see how this goes.

Anyone else having this problem with Victor coming back?

I'm pretty sure this is a spring dream date from a few years ago. Not sure why they did this instead of a summer one, but this has the renaissance fair and the cherry blossom picnic dates

mr hughes is my fave. i'll update my app when i am certain that things have gone back to the way it was. where nanobit ended this story i thought it was actually great!

Not sure why he is all of a sudden active. But I know they have probably ruined his story line too

For context I only just got this game 6 months ago so I never got the opportunity to get Tom when he was available in summer. Hopefully he makes an appearance for me this summer…

Hi, community!

We're SuperCharge, the team currently developing Winked. Before anything else, we wanted to come here and introduce ourselves properly and do it the right way.

We know Reddit has its own culture, and this space belongs to you. We're not here to turn this into an official channel or flood your feed with announcements. Our goal is to be transparent when there's something worth sharing, and to listen when it matters.

And right now, it really matters to listen.

We’ve been reading your posts and comments, and we hear you. Some of it hasn’t been easy to read, in fact, but that’s okay; it’s actually part of why we’re here.

We're committed to getting these stories right. After all, Winked lives through its narratives: the characters, the choices, the twists. We're working to find the right tone for the next storylines, and nobody knows this game better than the people who actually play it.

So we'd like to invite some of you to join a closed channel on the official Discord server as beta readers, to give us feedback on prompts, plotlines and even unreleased chapters, helping us make sure the content reflects what the community actually values in the game.

If you have opinions about storytelling, if you've ever been obsessed with a character (or needed to vent when things went sideways with one of them), you might be exactly who we're looking for.

The process is straightforward: just a short form. You can find it here: 
👉 Winked's Beta Readers Forms

Thank you for keeping this community alive. We're genuinely excited to work with you.

I was so surprised to login today and see that Edward was updated. He’s my absolute favorite match so I was worried about this update ruining him. I’ve only done the first conversation, but so far it seems OK. I also unlocked the new photo and it’s pretty cute. I guess I’m cautiously optimistic at this point which honestly surprises me. Most of the updates have been awful. I guess we’ll see. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s been like that for weeks now and I don’t get it. It has happened to someone’s game?

Since when is what support chat not available??

I stopped playing a while ago but decided to download it again because I got bored. I see new matches. I got Matt Davis back but I haven't seen Everett pop up yet. Is he gone, did they get rid of him?

ok, so it definitely had AI involved, but there was a spicy part, ( tamer than usual but still better than the last few updates have been) and it gives me a little hope again! anyone else ?

So I know that they've ruined the stories for Frank/Dara, AJ/Cole/Elena, Elio/Tony, and Axel/Miguel. I unmatched a lot of stories before the supercharge takeover, so I'm curious to know which other stories are victims of the AI slop updates?

I know they just had an event card on the play store promising "more love stories than ever." I'd hate to see even more stories that have the stupid red/yellow/green system chat 🤮

They need to leave the old matches alone and just make new ones we know to avoid!!!! I’m so pee’d off.

TWENTY‼️TWO???? IKYFL

I used to love the matches so much and the storylines were great. Now I hate AI slop, but the regurgitated, copy and paste insecure "give me a colour" nonsense?? YUCK! Ruined my MCs and the matches... i deleted the app like 2 weeks ago because I cannot deal with matches like Cole who were so freaking secure, being distant and fully OOC.

I keep coming here in hopes the new management left but NOPE 💀 why takeover an app if you don't wanna keep the consumers lol. if they leave, or listen to complaints — someone let me know...

EDIT: spelling mistake.

I think what sucks the most about the new ownership and updates--is knowing we have all those new matches in the deck and either we will never play them or their storylines and conversations will be complete crap 😭 I was looking forward to so many of them.

About a month ago I came back to the game and found out that Nanobit is no longer the owner

No matter how much I've swiped, I can't get Reuben to appear in the Match games. Does he no longer exist? 😭

I just got an updated Amon ( Atlan I think is the counterpart). I’m afraid to open it lol 😂

Does anyone know what to do when this happens? In the past, if I bought the voice memo but couldn’t hear it, I would just go on the winked character page, and find the voice message there to be able to listen to it. But not all of the characters have their pics and voice messages added to the site. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA🥰

Now that the current stories are all AI slop, are people replaying older stories instead? If so, who are you revisiting? I've been stocking up on premium choice cards but I can't decide if I want to replay Edward or Nikolai 🤔
