The app is mainly designed for female members. You cannot pass the registration process if you will not declare your gender. All-female members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome to join together with other curious straight women. However, since the registration is not very strict, there are reported fake members. Some are males pretending to be females. So all the users of Wapa are advised to be more careful especially in sharing personal information or meeting face-to-face.

 Wapa claims that it is one of the biggest female-app all over the world. Thus, the number of members is high, not to mention the member activity as well.

Editor's Conclusion

Datingscout.com.au Author Chris Pleines
Chris Pleines
Founder of Datingscout and Author of the book "Online Dating for Dummies"
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 doesn't amount to much when it comes to appeal for lesbians. Although there are manual checks for fake profiles, the folks at Wapa can't seem to do anything about inactive ones. With a static website and one inactive social media account, people would be hard-pressed to find this app exciting and want to sign up.
