User verdict / 100 High confidence In trouble

Recent reviews indicate that Tagged Dating has significantly declined in quality due to numerous bugs, an influx of fake profiles and bots, and a restrictive new update that limits user interaction and locks previously free features behind paywalls, contradicting the developer's claims of bug fixes and smooth operation.

Latest update · v229.1

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

This app is already crazy about its new update – and we're sure you will be, too! Now that we've fixed those nasty bugs, everything's running smoothly once again.

Recurring themes

Fake Profiles/Bots negative
A significant number of recent reviews highlight that the app is overrun with fake profiles, bots, and scammers, making it difficult to find genuine connections. Users report constant spam messages and notifications from these accounts.R7R8R11R13
New Update Issues negative
The latest update is widely criticized for ruining the app experience. Users report it being slower, laggy, freezing, and generally less intuitive. Many feel the redesign is poor and has removed or broken essential features, directly contradicting developer claims of 'fixed bugs' and 'smooth operation'.R6R19R32R35
Feature Restrictions/Paywalls negative
Many users are frustrated that previously free and basic features, such as changing locations, height, ethnicities, or searching for people outside their immediate area or country, are now locked behind paywalls or completely removed. This severely limits the app's utility for meeting new people globally.R2R10R12R14
Account Management Problems negative
Users frequently report issues with account creation, login, and deletion. Many cannot create new accounts, log back in due to errors, or delete existing accounts because the promised email verification links are never sent, even to spam folders.R1R4R7R16
Live Streaming Focus negative
The app's increasing focus on live streaming is a major point of contention. Users feel it detracts from the dating aspect, is often filled with 'weirdos' or 'streamers' harassing for diamonds, and frequently crashes. Many prefer the app's original social interaction features.R3R5R11R39

Who it's for

This app is for users who are willing to navigate a high volume of fake profiles and ads, and who might be interested in live streaming features, despite reports of them crashing or being used for harassment R3R5R39. It is not for users looking for a traditional dating experience with genuine local connections or reliable account management R7R12R26R72.

Evidence note: The evidence is overwhelmingly negative, with 89% of recent reviews being negative. This contrasts sharply with the lifetime rating of 4.4855, indicating a significant and recent decline in user satisfaction. The developer's release notes claim bug fixes, but recent reviews directly contradict this, reporting numerous bugs, crashes, and a generally broken experience.

  1. [R71] 5/5 · GB Good app , which I can use forever to contact friends: Good app , which I can use forever to contact friends
  2. [R70] 5/5 · GB Great: Super happy
  3. [R7] 1/5 · US Nothing but fake profiles: Don’t even waste your time or energy on downloading this app! All it is, is a bunch of bots sending you a link, and they won’t let you delete your account.. they say to follow the link sent to your email but never send the link.. if I could give this app negative stars I most certainly would because that’s what it deserves
  4. [R8] 1/5 · US Disappointed: To many bots spamming
  5. [R11] 1/5 · US NOT A DATING APP: I Noticed there many fake accounts on here, most women that are real go live and only that.
  6. [R13] 1/5 · US Worse dating app ever !!! 🚫🚫❌❌❌❌❌❌: I would never recommend this app to anyone I know or don’t know . A bunch of fake profiles and weird people from a certain group . It should be shut down for good . HORRIBLE!
  7. [R6] 1/5 · US Tagged: Don’t like this new version
  8. [R19] 1/5 · US So disappointing APP IS RUINED: I’ve been on Tagged for years, and these recent updates completely ruined the app. It’s slower than ever, constantly lagging and freezing, and basic features don’t work smoothly anymore. The biggest issue is that you can no longer easily meet or browse people from around the country or the world. In my area, there simply aren’t many active local users on Tagged. Re
  9. [R32] 1/5 · US This update is NOT it: Update: Clearly yall dgaf about the reviews. These updates SUCK. They’re literally pushing ppl who used to stream off the app. Please bring back the old app. This update has many bugs and is not UX/UR friend whatsoever. Puts my location where every it wants, can’t update or view profile. Just all around not good.
  10. [R35] 1/5 · US Update: Who was the idiot who came up with this update. Everything was fine until someone decided to reinvent the wheel. No one and I mean no one likes this. If I could undo the update I would.
  11. [R4] 1/5 · US Bunch of Weirdos: To Many Gays Acting Like Females Using real Females Pictures To Many Trans!! AND TAGG WILL NOT LET ME DELETE MY ACCOUNT
  12. [R24] 1/5 · US sketchy: wont allow you to delete your account unless you confirm with a email. and then wont let you change your email address
  13. [R26] 1/5 · US Horrible: Not being able to delete the account nor logout is crazy work Smdh . They tell you confirm the email to delete or logout but you never received a link not even in spam
  14. [R2] 2/5 · US new version: new version sucks i see the same people over and over even when im on other location set to u.s
  15. [R12] 3/5 · US Near Me: I used to really enjoy this app. But I can’t find locals, unless I scroll through hundreds of profiles in the “for you” section. I used to be able to see ppl in distance (1-200 miles) away. Now first person I see is 198 miles away, so I scroll through the for me section and I see at least 4-6 streamers within 60 miles of me. How do I resolve this?
  16. [R25] 1/5 · US bring back the old version: The new one forces you to only connect with locals. It's weird! It sucks.
  17. [R10] 1/5 · US A shell of its past self: Nothing but a money grab at this point. Basic features from almost 2 decades ago are now “premium features “
  18. [R14] 3/5 · US Tagged is azz: I used to love tagged but it has changed they started charging people to change locations, height, ethnicities/races smh all these apps are money hungry. I understand people has to make money but dang you guys really are charging people for different locations, heights and races just sad
  19. [R18] 1/5 · US Preference settings: Bruh, how are we supposed to use the preference settings when all of them are locked?!?! I can only view like 3 people!!!
  20. [R31] 1/5 · US Corny: Make you pay before using
  21. [R3] 1/5 · US Weird: There is live streaming? Also when swiping like most dating apps you can only look at their cover profile, unless you double click to manually open their profile, which quite annoying in addition to the skippable adds you receive. Also not the most attractive women imo.
  22. [R9] 3/5 · US Not best: Too much add every 5 swap on the right there is an ad
  23. [R68] 1/5 · GB So many ads: You swipe 3-4 times and you get an ad why would I use this app when I’m not bombarded with ads in the process of swiping on other apps. Crazy!! I more than likely won’t be here long.
  24. [R72] 1/5 · GB Terrible app: This used to be the best app around, good for chatting to people around the world and less judgmental than others but now all that has gone, can’t search for outside your area let alone country, loads of restriction when messaging people plus loads of adverts popping up all the time, now slipped down from best dating app to the worst since it has it’s recent update
  25. [R1] 2/5 · US Reporting: You guy app is rubbish why am I creating account and they got it disabled immediately what is causing it
  26. [R16] 1/5 · US Verification profile: I cant verify my pic,it has error,update it,
  27. [R30] 1/5 · US Horrible app: Horrible app. Constantly glitching and cannot verify email address
  28. [R46] 1/5 · US Unable to create account OR login: So I know it’s an issue on you guys end because this is my third device I’ve tried downloading this app and logging in just for it to keep telling me something went wrong, can’t even create a new acccount because same thing. Shut down this app or fix it
  29. [R5] 1/5 · US Ridiculous!: This app has very little to no real women at all. A huge majority have only one picture, nothing & nothing about themselves. Red flag! Many women are on the apps”Live”. So if you want to pay to see a women talking to random men, then this app is for you
  30. [R39] 5/5 · US harrasing: streamers l about diamonds
  31. [R17] 1/5 · US Pets: What happened to the pets game?
  32. [R57] 1/5 · GB Can’t play pets most my accounts stuck on verifying my age even with proper ID same problem: You have ruined tagged / pets completely I have emails so much to try get my accounts ID verified you won’t help at all !!!!!
  33. [R59] 5/5 · GB Update: Why the hell have you updated pets. It is now completely unplayable. Emails now longer work. Switch it back or your platform will die
  34. [R67] 1/5 · GB Mr YashP: I don’t know what happened to tagged and I wanted to play PETS
  35. [R21] 1/5 · US Still a one star: STOP MERGING US WITH MEETME
  36. [R56] 1/5 · GB Boring: I thought tagged was joining MeetMe and skout????
  37. [R23] 1/5 · US It’s changed for the worst: I’m inbox is flooded with spam accounts. Matching has gotten worst. The whole experience is terrible. The engagement has become unappealing. I can’t get into seen my friends list. This new version has destroyed the tagged account I enjoyed. I hope it gets revamped and reworded for the better.
  38. [R27] 1/5 · US Trash: The app is not fun anymore. You can't write a post, comment, and see anyone closer.
  39. [R63] 2/5 · GB Worse update: App been updated. I’m now not receiving messages that been sent to me
  40. [R82] 1/5 · GB The end of tagged?: Oh boy! What has happened to tagged? Seems to taking the route to being an app for streamers rather than dating/meeting new people. I can’t find my friends list… video calling is no longer an option. It awful!
  41. [R34] 1/5 · US Let Me Delete!: I’ve been requesting the link to delete this app for weeks and nothing, not even in my spam folder. Every time I delete my photos, they reappear. Come on tagged!!
  42. [R37] 2/5 · US Spam is out of control: The app has so many spam accounts now that renders the app virtually unusable. You will get 2-3 spam messages EVERY MINUTE you use the app. It will bury any real conversation you’re trying to have. It’s a bummer, the app had it under control for a short time there.
  43. [R49] 1/5 · US Mostly fake accounts: I sure am glad I paid for premium so I could see all of the bot accounts reacting to my profile. Literally, that’s all Tagged is. Bots. 99.9% of all likes and messages are from fake accounts. Every single notification on my phone is from a fake account.
  44. [R60] 1/5 · GB Ruined by the new update: The new update completely ruined Tagged. Nobody asked for this app-style redesign. The old version was simple, social, and fun - now it’s cluttered with streaming features that don’t belong here. Kick the streamers and “Meet Me” into a separate app and bring back what made this site great real social interaction, browsing profiles, and easy messaging. Many long-time users
  45. [R81] 1/5 · GB Terrible update: Can only search local now No webcam option No overseas search Please go back to old version
