1. [R1] Hinge Dating App 1/5 · US Biometric scan sucks: I can’t get passed the face scan. I have tried at least 100 times. I still have the app downloaded in hopes that one day the face scan will work and I’m able to join.
2. [R7] Hinge Dating App 1/5 · US Absolute trash: I can’t even make an account because some random person’s phone number is already linked to the account so I can’t even try if I wanted to and the resources they have. Don’t help complete scam.
3. [R30] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · GB ???: was trying to redownload it after taking a break and it said no picture i had was showing my face clear enough even just a passport style picture !
4. [R6] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · US Slowly turning to a subscription only app.: Back a year ago, you could filter between what someone’s looking for ex. Short term, long term, etc. Now you can’t. That’s fine and all but they just removed the ability to reverse an accidental X / decline. I always thought this was the best dating app and always vouched for it and recommended it to everyone for the ability to do absolutely everything f
5. [R9] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · US Premium: I guess it’s probably the best dating app but they have gotten really aggressive with pushing for the premium mode. It feels like every time you press a button you get an ad to sign up.
6. [R10] Hinge Dating App 2/5 · US Used to be good: Changed undo button behind paywall, half the filters can’t be used without paying, and no option to exclude trans people
7. [R18] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · US Meh: I’m not sure why I no longer get to like a potential match especially with paying for a 3 month subscription. I have to write folks first or I get nothing:/ :/
8. [R13] Hinge Dating App 1/5 · US Banned due to revenge report: Had to take a few days away from the app due to being ill. Got an email saying my account was banned. I’m guessing my match(es) didn’t like that I didn’t reply and reported me. Also assuming it’s a bot making these decisions. I was super excited to find my person!! Random bans seem to be super common, so be aware your account could be deleted at any time.
9. [R28] Hinge Dating App 1/5 · US Banned for no reason: I was banned from hinge after just making an account and wasn’t given a reason just to check tos My friend was banned before and said that there is no point in appealing because it never gets revoked I would like an explanation
10. [R15] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · US Not able to filter out based on distance: Hi, One complaint I have about Hinge is that I’m not able to make it so that I can only receive messages from local people. I’m not interested in meeting someone who lives more than 50 miles away from me.
11. [R35] Hinge Dating App 1/5 · US Shows the same profiles: This app shows the same profiles over and over again and anyone you’re interested in will be a “standout” that you have to pay money to contact when you’re already paying for a subscription. Deleting.
12. [R4] Hinge Dating App 1/5 · US Lies: Its original design is still advertised but now all this app is is a lame imitation of honesty. You will download and create a profile and will get likes. If these likes are real which is already being too generous then you will find that unless you are fine asl these women have no true interest. I’ve had multiple women in my life tell me they treat these apps as a game. You are reading my r
13. [R19] Hinge Dating App 1/5 · US Fakes: Most women on here are fake
14. [R21] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · US Review: Girls are pretty non-responsive. The app is good.
15. [R24] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · GB Stop the ghosting: Too many men wanting pen pals and then have the cheek to go quiet. What do you want? Is this not a dating app where you get to know people and meet up??
16. [R3] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · US Update needed: Please update the children section to allow users to put the number of children they have.
17. [R12] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · US NEEDED Feature: There needs to be a search feature where you can search for words used in conversations. If you get a lot of matches it’s difficult to keep track of conversations, unless you spend all day on the app. Bumble has always had this feature and it makes it very easy to navigate by being able to search name or something said in conversation; just like searching in iMessage
18. [R52] Plenty of Fish 4/5 · US There are fake people here.: One conversation a few days the question became repetitious but he would deny they were. The questions seem as if they were program because looking back at his msgs they were exact same wording. Blocked! But in honesty; I did meet some nice interesting people
19. [R53] Plenty of Fish 3/5 · US Offers verification but not required!: Cannot filter all unverified accounts. Saw alot of complaints of fake accounts and seemed to be many I believe to be fake. Just a breeding ground for scammers. Also subscribing does not open uou up to more communication. One message a day for free! Money Hungy!
20. [R55] Plenty of Fish 4/5 · US Very good: Gives you options that you would otherwise have to pay for. Very good range of people, not huge on pressuring you to pay
21. [R58] Plenty of Fish 5/5 · US I’m take on this app: I have met some really nice people on this app. I met a few duds on this app, but for the most part, I enjoy the engagement and it opens up a variety of different ways to connect with people and I enjoy that. So I give it to thumbs up.
22. [R65] Bumble Dating App 1/5 · US U have to pay to use: Only free thing to do is to set up ur account
23. [R67] Bumble Dating App 3/5 · US Great app, shaky back-end: I’ve been a long-time paid user of Bumble and have met a lot of great people on the app. I’m writing this review, which I hope to amend later, because the design and performance of the app have gotten meaningfully worse this year. Bugs or poor design choices: - Your incoming likes are no longer a grid, but parade of one at a time - hopeless to navigate if you have 500+ i
24. [R71] Bumble Dating App 1/5 · US No good: Extremely expensive. Overpriced. Don't use.
25. [R72] Bumble Dating App 5/5 · US Great men here: Safe and exciting dating app
26. [R79] Tinder Dating App 1/5 · US Very poor business ethics: First off, there are ton of ghost accounts and you can't see when they last logged in, so you end up wasting $5 message to a ghost account. Second, you even have to purchase super-likes, which doesn't really do anything. Lastly, I already configured my profile to meet women within 20 miles, and I constantly get men (yuck! i'm straight), women who shows up without their c
27. [R80] Tinder Dating App 5/5 · US Sites compared: I’ve been using three sites primarily for 6 to 9 months. Tinder is the easiest to use over eharmony or Match. eHarmony has a ton of scammers constantly reporting them on a daily basis. Match is OK but doesn’t have the same ease of use as Tinder. It also tends to be the cheapest of the three.
28. [R81] Tinder Dating App 3/5 · US Good fundamentals ruined by recent flawed rollout: Tinder recently replaced its “Explorer functionality, which allowed you to curate potential matches based on shared interests, family plans, etc., with “Events” which allows you to sign up for live events to meet other Tinder users there. The only problem is that all of the hosted events are in Los Angeles, so if you live in any other part of the
29. [R82] Tinder Dating App 1/5 · US The McDonald’s of Dating Apps: Dear Tinder, I just deleted my account. Your pricing has become overly ridiculous and your platform is FULL of fake profiles. Honestly, I should be able to do simple back and forth communication a person who just liked me, not force me to buy an overinflated membership fee just for the basics. If you want to gouge, do it on the extras. And please figure out h
30. [R93] BLK 1/5 · US Log in bug: I’ve tried everything from uninstalling the app. Deleting saved info of the app in settings and no matter what I do I can’t log in to my account or make a new one.
31. [R94] BLK 4/5 · US Location keeps showing women from 300-400 miles away: I’m good on all that I like the app when it shows locals I met a lot of beautiful sweet women locally on and off the app so it’s discouraging when it bumps tho LO all the way to Chicago when I’m in mn don’t get me wrong the women most of them are pretty but I ain’t drive over 50+ miles let along 400 TS wild
32. [R96] BLK 1/5 · US Scammers and Illegal Activity: The developers must have some type of illegal ring going. The community section is filled with women attempting to sell themselves and when you report it they ban you from the app! Outside of the social section is just as bad. Matches will contact you first then never respond after you reply (bots). Don’t waste your time or MONEY because you will very much regret us
33. [R98] BLK 3/5 · US BLK: Has a lot of bots on this app.When you pay you stop getting likes
34. [R107] Chispa 1/5 · US Closeness/nearby: No matter what you put as radius, they’ll give you a couple and mind you I paid for this app but all the women I find are over 100 miles away. If you’re not willing to travel past 50 miles I wouldn’t bother…… this is an update! Man, I’m telling you all the beautiful women that you would probably be interested in our way over 25 to 50 mile range! It’s crazy. I got women but I’m no
35. [R108] Chispa 4/5 · US Needs work: I’m not mad at the app, it serves its purpose. However one thing that has been need to be fixed for the longest is the range. I’m set to 30 miles, why am I getting profiles from 125-300 miles away? Fix this please.
36. [R110] Chispa 1/5 · US Not worth it: This app has gone down hill. Its riddled with fake accounts and scammers. On top of that they have a community feature where you can post photos and its mostly the fake accounts and other users posting nudes. The chispa staff does little to nothing about it, really a shame because it drives the people who actually want to meet other Latinos away.
37. [R111] Chispa 5/5 · US Experiencia: Yo conocí a mi pareja en Chiapa, y ahora tiempo después vamos hacer papás, 10/10 recomiendo
38. [R25] Hinge Dating App 1/5 · US Just like all the rest of the apps: Just like all of the rest of the apps, nothing but a cash grab and full of scammers
39. [R47] Hinge Dating App 1/5 · US Paywall and bots: This app is flooded with fake / AI profiles all using the same responses to prompts and having a fake instagram link in one. This plague has only gotten worse over time and the developer’s only response has been to restrict previously free features behind the membership paywall.
40. [R33] Hinge Dating App 2/5 · US Please do better: As soon as you get the app you already want to delete it cause they do not give enough free likes. Everything requires an upgrade and they have the audacity to have expensive updates. How are you supposed to get to know if you like the app if every feature cost money???
