Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R1] Hily Dating App 1/5 · US Worst Dating App: There is a paywall to see people who are nearby. It matches with people who live far away.
2. [R12] Hily Dating App 3/5 · GB not worth the money, expensive, con: i’ve read reviews that say it’s completely free, as a guy it’s worse than tinder. you have to pay for un blurs, pay to talk it’s just a con and not worth the money in my eyes. if someone likes you you should be able to see them. paying to see what who they are is just annoying as. won’t be using this again
3. [R13] Hily Dating App 1/5 · US SCAM! Do not waste your time.: Don’t bother purchasing. I paid for the “premium” right away and it does nothing. They will still charge you to “unblur” people and see who likes you and to message people. Total scam. It’s pay as you go and stupid expensive as well. $20+ for a week premium and then another $10+ to see people or contact likes. Criminal. Don’t waste your time.
4. [R66] 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. [R3] Hily Dating App 3/5 · US Scams: Be extremely careful cause a random account will pop up in your area and then add you and then try to move to your number and will try to scam you from there
6. [R10] Hily Dating App 2/5 · US It’s a no.: Majority of the accounts have photos covering their faces, you have to pay to see a majority of the information on someone’s profile. It prompts you to answer questions that most sites don’t force you to answer. Majority of the people on the app look like they just go released from long stints in prison and if you didn’t sign up for explicit content it still sends you disgusting msgs f
7. [R25] Hily Dating App 2/5 · US Scams: I’ve matched with a couple of people now who have been completely fake. Will ask for your number and once they get it they’ll unmatched you and try to get you to send explicit pictures or messages and then come back and asking for money or they will post everything you send. DO NOT TRUST anyone on this app. They will just try and create some AI slop to try and scare you into paying.
8. [R87] Hinge Dating App 3/5 · US Likes in messages BUGGED: Likes on messages are bugged. Cant see what messages matches have liked. Signing out and back in removes all liked messages entirely.
9. [R16] Hily Dating App 1/5 · US Bots: Don’t bother downloading this app it’s all bots, you get a bunch of likes none of them r real and you never see them in the regular swiping anyway
10. [R31] Hily Dating App 1/5 · US AI / Fake Accounts: I am convinced that Hily generates its own fake accounts to “like,” your profile and increase user engagement with the app through hopes of finding a match. I cannot explain how many times I was “liked,” by a profile at an opportune time for me to make a purchase to expedite matching, only to discover upon matching that the profile had not been active recently and would never b
11. [R39] Hily Dating App 2/5 · US Bots?: I feel like this app is full of bot. Every match I’ve gotten hasn’t responded or even read my message. Also might be my state be a blue state. Like what’s the point to send a like and we match but you’re not gonna respond?
12. [R68] Hinge Dating App 5/5 · US Found my baddie: Nice app, love that it’s free, I found my dream woman, hell yeah!
13. [R28] Hily Dating App 1/5 · US The Worst Dating App: The app is just another money scam. They are collecting and selling your data. And they force you to join there subscription otherwise you won’t see anyone
14. [R69] 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.
15. [R49] Hily Dating App 2/5 · US Support: Several bug issues with the app that I’ve reported multiple times & all I get is responses from a support chat bot. Purchased multiple months of premium and had countless issues. Have a reoccurring issue of Major Crushes being consumed but being unable to message. The support bot asks you to screen record the issue but the app naturally uses DRM locks to stop screen captures. Asked for my
16. [R73] 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.
17. [R88] 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
