Folks, if you're going to write an app (ESPECIALLY a dating app, which has tons of sensitive info), please hire a native English speaker to write the strings and the website for you. I know this is not how it's supposed to work, but this site gives off a strong "creepy foreign company that's going to leak all your data" vibe.

Some things I noticed:

Using a period instead of a comma as a thousands separator.

Putting the % before the number rather than after.

And the prose in general is just awkward has hell.

Maybe it gives off a "foreign company" vibe, but the "creepy" and "is going to leak all your data" is you, I think.

I certainly have never heard anyone say "oh thank God it's Facebook, my data is safe".

Tbh I trust FB way more with my data than some show HN
I guess they are very consistent and reliable in what they do with it.
We got that feedback before, thank you again :) You are right. We will fix it real soon.
