SINGAPORE, Jan 28 (The Straits Times/ANN): Days after the rapid rise of Singapore-based social networking app Bondee, users have grown hesitant about keeping the app after allegations surfaced online earlier this week that it had misused credit card information.

The app, which blends elements of the metaverse, online gaming and messaging, crossed a million downloads on Google Play and topped App Store charts after its launch on Jan 15. It has since dominated social media feeds, with users showing off their personalised 3D avatars and virtual rooms.
