I Love Black People SafePlacesv5.0.0 / 5.0.2

Released September 16, 2026Major

iOS Android

The latest major update introduced live voice and video chat, proximity notifications, and registration changes. Due to a post-update sample size of only one review on Android, the impact on user sentiment remains statistically inconclusive. The current rating shift from 4.55 to 3.00 lacks the volume required for a definitive performance assessment.
