  1. [R3] Tinder Dating App 3/5 · GB It’s ok: Loved the swipe night that’s now been replaced by double dates but I don’t have friends single so that feature doesn’t benefit
  2. [R9] Tinder Dating App 3/5 · GB It’s fine: It’s a fine app, I just wish I didn’t have to pay so men don’t see my profile and I don’t get recommended men (I’m a lesbian duh). Also I wish there were way more prompts to choose from, and for a dating app you shouldn’t HAVE to pay to see who actually likes you, it’s dumb. More people would download it if you made these changes ngl
  3. [R41] Tinder Dating App 1/5 · US Not like it used to be: Paywalls for membership tiers are ridiculously high. Little to no matches after not renewing my yearly platinum membership due to cost. Top Profile feature always listed unverified accounts w/ bland profiles and often repeated them day over day. As a Poly/ENM person I praised Tinder for at least having the NM spotlight so that I could filter out people I wanted to seek but
  4. [R57] Tinder Dating App 1/5 · US Buggy mess: Fix the explore tab disappearing and being replaced with a “events” tab when you close the app. Then the only way to fix it is by deleting and reinstalling the app, it’s been like that for years now.

  13. [R14] Tinder Dating App 1/5 · US Another scam site: All they want is your money. Started talking to people after spending for both a subscription and a super like was able to chat and now they locked my account and I have not been able to get on since. Wish there was negative stars available.
