Topface for Android: questions and answers

Topface - Primary Information

What is Topface?: Topface allows you to find interesting people, be it girls or guys, with similar interests and hobbies from all over the world. It could be new penpals, cultural exchange buddies, or maybe even something more. When using Topface you'll notice how simple it is to meet people with whom you have a mutual attraction!
How do I start using Topface?: To start using the app, sign up with your email account or login via a social network account, such as Facebook, VKontakte, or Odnoklassniki.
If you access Topface via a social network account, then there is a chance of having multiple accounts that are not connected to each other.
If you login to Topface using your email address via the "Login" button, then your account will not be connected with a social network account.
How much does it cost?: To start using Topface you won't need to pay a dime. Registration on Topface is free. Create a profile and upload your favorite photos, find interesting people from around the globe, send and receive Likes, and become popular in your city by being in the "Photofeed".
If you want even more, buy VIP-status: it lets you stand out from the crowd, browse profiles anonymously, get more Likes, and talk to/date as many people as possible.
Why do I need VIP-status?: VIP-status gives you access to additional privileges that allow you to:
- send messages without a required mutual like;
- view your Guests and Admirers;
- - go unnoticed while visiting other people's pages by being "Invisible";
What are Coins needed for?: With the help of the Coins, you will be placed in the "Photofeed" and become popular in your city! Also, with Coins you can send romantic or friendly gifts to other users, and send admirations to people you like the most.
What are "Likes" and how do I use them?: Likes are tokens that you can send to others or get from them.
Purchasing likes means that you'll get likes from the same number of people as the number of likes you have purchased. That means that your likes are spent when other people like you. Likewise when you give out likes, it 'spends' another user's likes.
What are "Admirations"?: Admirations are likes that allow you to draw more attention to yourself, compared with a simple Like.
What is the "Photofeed"?: When you're in the "Photofeed" everyone in your city will see you! You'll get a ton of Likes, Messages and go on many new dates.
How do I get into the "Photofeed"?: Go to the "Photofeed" section, click on "+" icon, then choose your best photo and follow the remaining instructions.
What are "Favorites"?: If you don't want to lose touch with someone you find interesting, you can add them to your "Favorites" list. That way you'll never have a missed connection. You can add someone to your Favorites via their profile page or in chat.
What are "Admirers"?: Admirers are users that have added you to their Favorites.
What are "Guests"?: Guests are the people who have visited your profile.
How do I reset my password?: If you cannot access your existing account and you want to restore your password, click the "Restore your passsword" button and specify your email address. Then follow the instructions contained in the email.

Purchases in Topface

How do I buy VIP-status, Coins and Likes?: Open your profile, click "VIP-status", and you'll see the VIP-status purchase screen.
On that screen you'll be able to look through VIP-status subscription options, as well as the list of privileges that VIP-status gives.
You can purchase coins and likes on the purchase screen. Go to the section "Balance" and choose a product that interests you.

You can make purchases with the Google Play app. Inside the app, choose a product that interests you, and link a bank card that you want to pay with to your Google-account, then follow the instructions onscreen.
In addition, you can purchase VIP-status, coins, and likes through SMS and e-money. This can be done using the purchase screen, in the "Balance" section by clicking on "SMS" and "Other."

Note that if you use multiple profiles, your VIP-status will be available only on the profile where it was activated; your VIP-status does not apply to your other profiles.
