2. [R8] 5/5 · US Yay!: Alex & I met on Hinge and then he followed me on Instagram and we hung out. I met him Thursday and now we are exclusive! Thanks Hinge!

Looking forward to our amazing life together , waking up together everyday in love just a little more with one another and choosing each other.

4. [R15] 5/5 · US 10 out of 10: Would definitely recommend 🥰 My man and I met on Hinge and what a fantastic experience it has been so far. Cheers to the future 🥂
5. [R41] 5/5 · US Real connections: Real connection instead of the conventional swiping-dating method
6. [R50] 5/5 · US For those wanting a relationship: I had may dates through hinge and met a great woman. It’s not superficial like other dating apps and encourages lots of engagement.
7. [R92] 5/5 · US Love and compatibility backed by science: I used hinge for dating because I read one of the creators books how to not die alone. I fully believe that it’s designed to be deleted and used the science to connect me to the right type of people until I met the right one. Every date I went on was still with a wonderful person and experience and eventually it lead me to the one that changed everything.
8. [R102] 5/5 · US Best Dating App: This is by far the best dating app I have ever used. The app actually gets to know your likes and dislikes. I’ve only had the app for less than a week and I am about to go on my first date!! Wish me luck!
9. [R16] 5/5 · US Best App on the face of the planet: Better than Google Chrome, MyChart, ChatGPT, Tinder, Crunchyroll and YouTube combined 😂. Seriously though, this app brought true action into my life. I’m an average looking(I think slightly good looking) guy, and I’ve had waaaaaay more dates on my free Hinge account than I thought I could when I was paying for Tinder; which makes me suspect that the people who m
10. [R67] 5/5 · US It’s the best of dating apps: It is better than any other dating apps but unfortunately most of the women are still all insane and brainwashed.
11. [R493] 3/5 · GB Less matches but slightly better quality: I’m based in Scotland so maybe there’s not as many subscribers here cause I swiped through everyone really quickly and then it was slim pickings after that. I’m also in the middle age bracket so maybe it’s better suited for 20-30’s yr olds. Despite the reduced dating pool, I have found the quality of men on this site is a lot better than other well known s
12. [R6] 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
13. [R18] 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
14. [R23] 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.
15. [R25] 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???
16. [R1] 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.
17. [R5] 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.
18. [R53] 1/5 · US Face recognition: They force you to do face recognition. You cannot opt out and it glitches frequently. I do not want my face being scanned by your software.
19. [R59] 1/5 · US Height during sign up is stuck at 5’5”: When I try to sign up, height is stuck at 5’5”. When I try to adjust the whole page scrolls and doesn’t let me update the height
20. [R9] 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.
21. [R22] 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
22. [R47] 1/5 · US My account banned for no reason: And the app won’t let me appeal or give me any reason. Booo
23. [R55] 1/5 · US Don’t bother: They will ban you for no reason at all and it will be connected to Tinder so you won’t be able to go on the top 2 dating apps in the world. Multiple people have experienced this recently and there’s no way to get unbanned and 9/10 times they won’t tell you the reason for being banned. A quick Reddit search will steer you away from this garbage
24. [R19] 1/5 · US Apps like these are ruining the future of dating.: Companies like this feed on psychological desires of others and in turn get huge payouts. I’m ashamed to have given my money to pay for an app like this.
25. [R20] 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
26. [R28] 1/5 · US Paying to stay single: Why pay to be shown some of the worst profiles I’ve ever seen. I can be single for free and not be forced to be grossed out and hate myself via an app in the process.
27. [R39] 1/5 · US Sucks: Total waste of time. Only scams people out of money
28. [R4] 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
29. [R14] 1/5 · US Fakes: Most women on here are fake
30. [R32] 1/5 · US No response: A very unispirational app. No one there no one corresponding
31. [R36] 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.
32. [R26] 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.
33. [R221] 3/5 · US Improvement suggestion: The men I’m most compatible with are the ones on the “standouts,” but sending roses is stupid. As someone who already paid a subscription fee, I should be able to swipe on any and every profile without additional fees.
34. [R239] 3/5 · US Hinge is only here for your money, not to help you find love: Hinge be like, “You are out of free likes today!” But also, “Don’t let your rose expire!” as if they aren’t the ones limiting you from swiping in the first place with their throttled likes. You can’t say where you actually live while still swiping in another place, which causes a lot of post-match disappointment. Shows you people wh
35. [R48] 1/5 · US It’s not what you want.: Restraining orders and stalking psychopaths
36. [R54] 1/5 · US Dangerous: The filter for matching or not wanting matching with someone who openly does drugs is a paid feature. So unless you pay for this app, you can’t put drugs as a deal breaker. So you have to hope that the other person will state it on their profile so you can say no to matching with them. I’ve been exposed to a meth addict on this app and didn’t know until we started meeting in person!
37. [R63] 1/5 · US Worst app ever: This app has been extremely disappointing. In my experience, it does a poor job of protecting users from abusive, manipulative, and inappropriate behavior. I've reported sexual harassment and stalking, yet it felt like my concerns weren't taken seriously. One man I matched with sent me sexually explicit and inappropriate messages. I reported his account, but as far as I could tell,
38. [R557] 3/5 · CA People: Some were very seexual and they were not nice. Do recommend but pick wisely.
39. [R66] 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.
40. [R84] 1/5 · US Borders: This app has no prevention method for matching with people from other countries. I live near the Canadian border and it’s a continuous problem that someone should fix
41. [R35] 1/5 · US Getting worse: The fact I cant even go back to the prior person, a feature Ive really used unless we pay for that now too, is beyond ridiculous. Instead of taking away free features to make the subscribe… why dont you make it worthwhile by making the paid for version better. This is horrendous.
42. [R40] 1/5 · US Useless app with bots & defunct profiles: Many older married women profiles here just to boost up numbers. Not verified and vetted. Very few bios are real.
43. [R51] 5/5 · US Met my soulmate: Through hinge I met the man who will soon become my husband. The app was easy to use, and in a world where everyone hates on dating apps, I SWEAR by Hinge!
44. [R95] 5/5 · US Unexpected in a surprisingly great way: I resisted creating another online dating profile since I had had sooo many bad experiences in the years before, but I decided to try one app for only one month to see what happens. After rejoining Hinge (the only online dating app I kinda trusted), I found my person after 2 DAYS on this app. TWO! DAYS! He’s so different and refreshing in so many ways, and w
