Taimi

15
Value score / 100 Worth paying? No Skip it

Taimi is not worth paying for due to extensive paywalls, a high likelihood of encountering bots and fake profiles, and numerous complaints about billing and customer support.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $77.99 4.4★ lifetime (205,084) since 2017

Taimi, despite a high lifetime rating, is heavily criticized in recent reviews for its aggressive monetization, making basic dating functions inaccessible without payment. Users report encountering numerous bots and fake profiles, along with issues regarding subscription cancellations and misleading advertising.

Free vs paid

The free version of Taimi is severely restricted, preventing users from liking or messaging potential matches, seeing who has liked them, or even filtering profiles effectively R1R5R6. Users report being limited to a very small number of swipes per day R20R34 and being shown profiles outside their preferences R25R32. The paid tiers, which can be as high as $100 a month R17 or even $50 a week for 'Gold +' R29, are also criticized for still having paywalls R39 and not delivering on promised features like seeing all likes R14. Even after paying, users report issues like not being able to send messages R39 or losing premium features .

Worth paying if

It is not worth paying for Taimi, as even paid subscriptions do not guarantee full functionality or a positive experience, with many users reporting continued paywalls and issues after purchasing R29R39.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip Taimi if you expect to use a dating app without constant payment demands, if you are looking for genuine human interactions, or if you want reliable customer support for billing and account issues R1R2R3R5. The app is particularly unsuitable for LGBTQ+ individuals seeking a safe and respectful dating environment, as some ads are seen as problematic and the app's monetization practices exploit its target demographic R25.

Evidence note: The lifetime rating of 4.4 is significantly higher than indicated by recent reviews, which are overwhelmingly negative regarding monetization and app functionality. The positive reviews are generally short and lack specific details, often appearing as generic praise without addressing the core complaints of paywalls and fake profiles.

  1. [R1] 1/5 · CA Everything costs money: To like or msg costs money. Wasted my time. 30% of lgbtq youth are homeless statistically btw. Maybe try like 1-3$/month. But you have no reputation as an app so why would anyone pay what ur asking?
  2. [R5] 1/5 · CA Its a capitalistic game: I was on taimi when i was younger and enjoyed my experience but now, the app is not as enjoyable because the app curates people for you who match your interest but force you to pay in order to contact them . Whats the point of matching me with someone compatible yet not making it accessible to contact them ? Isn’t the whole point of the app is to meet people who align with
  3. [R6] 1/5 · CA Just bad: You really can’t do anything on this app without paying money. It’s that a bad app and probably my least favourite that I’ve tried.
  4. [R7] 1/5 · CA Makes you pay for anything and everything: Can’t even use the app without them taking your money and I don’t wanna see men on my gay app?
  5. [R29] 1/5 · CA Dishonest: This model is completely dishonest. They are are constantly looking to get you to upgrade your sub. Silver , gold, none of it matters. You won’t get any use unless you spring for the $50 a week Gold +
  6. [R34] 2/5 · CA Too restricted: The idea and functionality of the app are great but it’s nearly impossible to make and decent matches. You only get 20 swipes per day, so by the time you’ve declined the less desirable ones that they show first you’re already out of swipe. Tried upgrading membership to get more swipes but all they did was allow me to see who liked me. I still had to pay extra for more swipes. By t
  7. [R37] 1/5 · CA Bad: Terrible app, makes you pay for every single different option, pay for the subscription, then you pay for the gold because you can’t use the subscription without it, then you pay to message them you pay for likes. If I have to guess I’d say 85% are fake bot profiles. Don’t waste your time
  8. [R39] 1/5 · CA Scam: After buying a membership still can’t send a message without paying more
  9. [R9] 1/5 · CA Too expensive: Not sure why tinder and all the other apps have a free version that still works whereas with Taimi you have to pay for every match. They should run ads to pay for operating costs if that’s the problem. I’ll check back next year (again).
  10. [R17] 1/5 · CA Too much greed with dating apps: I had to delete this app, even though I just downloaded it as soon as I seen premium and it costs money, I deleted it Yeah, imagine telling the people don’t worry there’s no blurry photos. There’s no blurry profiles. Actually there is if you don’t want blurry photos and blurry profiles you have to pay for premium which is $100 a month which I do not have 90% of Ca
  11. [R20] 1/5 · CA Wallet Sucking Scum: I swear the only reason this app exists is so they can charge you a weekly subscription that is so expensive I might as well just buy a hooker if I really want it. You only get like 50 swipes / 24 hours and you have to pay to answer messages from people you haven’t seen yet smh. Never get this app.
  12. [R57] 1/5 · AU I hate it: How do I get rid of this app,I don’t want it and I keep being charged the instruction on the app once I dissble it don’t work there is no subscription option
  13. [R60] 5/5 · AU How to cancel subscription: Hi team members Last two weeks ago I have cancelled my subscription.. the management still charging me.. please advise how to stop the payment.. it’s urgent.. Thank you
  14. [R61] 1/5 · AU Horrible: Too expensive and cannot find out how to delete it
  15. [R64] 1/5 · AU They are not honest: I subscribed the 3 days free trial and cancelled it on the second day cause no one was in my area, and the they charged me eventhought I canceling it before the 3th day. Totally unfair
  16. [R2] 1/5 · CA SCAM!!: Pay to chat with bots. Shame on you
  17. [R3] 1/5 · CA Money grab: They just want your money don’t bother with this app
  18. [R12] 1/5 · CA Scam: Half of the people on the site that are within my area are considered not free to talk to, are “curated” for a cost to actually talk to people. The site is filled with bots and scammers and the owners know this and don’t care. All a money grab with no actual results. Talking to a lawyer about a lawsuit because of false advertising and fraud on the company’s side.
  19. [R21] 1/5 · CA scam: they show you people you cant swipe on when you run out of activity, once youre able to swipe again theres nobody to be found. funny
  20. [R11] 1/5 · CA worst dating app ever!!!: first of all you have to pay to see people in your area exclusively. second the ads ive gotten for this app border spam and are very misleading. DO NOT INSTALL
  21. [R14] 1/5 · CA Confused about the update summary: You said “No more blurred Likes, we mean it! Now you can see every Like in real time, for a full 24 hours. No paywalls, no hassle.” But all I see are blurred likes. And a paywall. What am I missing?
  22. [R70] 1/5 · AU Waste of time: Crazy expensive, useless app. No one is using it so it’s essentially pointless. They’ve tried to mash tinder and Grindr together and failed. They also use ads worded very similar to other apps to trick you into subscribing to a free trial that isn’t a free trial...
  23. [R71] 4/5 · AU Love: Love the option to chat in so many group chats. I really like there are clean options
  24. [R79] 5/5 · AU Engaging app: One of the most engaging, fun and socials apps around.
  25. [R31] 5/5 · CA Best app ever: Mmmfgh
  26. [R55] 5/5 · AU Excellency: Perfect honest reliable trustworthy dating app that I ever used 😍
  27. [R73] 5/5 · AU No bullies: No bullying here.
  28. [R84] 5/5 · AU Its actually really good: This actually works everything it’s is well done so many great guys
  29. [R92] 5/5 · AU Users: High quality photos from users
  30. [R93] 5/5 · AU Pictures: Pictures are cool!
  31. [R94] 5/5 · AU Experience: Unforgettable experience here
  32. [R26] 1/5 · CA Zero Human Interaction / Bot Nags Daily: I’ve been on this app for a while and I’ve had ZERO real human interactions. Not even sure what that would look like. The apps chat bot nags me daily though like some petulant teenager. Deleting naggy App.
  33. [R28] 2/5 · CA Too many fakes: The app itself works well and is easy to use. I just had only fake profiles. A way to certify profiles must be found. Deleted in the meantime.
  34. [R25] 1/5 · CA Hates its target demographic: The developers of this app must hate trans people because this is literally the worst app ever. Money hungry, bad features disguised as "free preview" (the second chance swipes). If you are trans and looking to date might as well deal with the ignorance on tinder, you will be shown people within your taste unlike here. (The app forces you to swipe thru people out
  35. [R32] 1/5 · CA Rip off and poorly moderated: They do not review any profiles, so many (ugly guys mostly) are listed under all of the following categories: “gay, straight, trans, feminine, non-binary” so it doesn’t matter what filters you apply, you still have to wade through all of them that you don’t want to see. They also have perfected the art of charging you for absolutely everything, and yet delivering so v
  36. [R38] 3/5 · CA Should Be Better: Given how many ads I’ve seen I assumed Taimi would be full of potential matches, but the filtering function doesn’t filter out profiles you’re not looking for. Took less than 10 minutes for my swipes to start showing people opposite to my filters. The tumblr of dating apps.
