1. [R3] 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!
2. [R10] Plenty of Fish 1/5 · US Plenty Of Scammers: 99% scammers
3. [R62] 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
4. [R69] BLK 3/5 · US Warning: Some profiles are scammers: This app could be great! I wish the developers would only allow profiles that are verified. (Set a time limit on unverified profiles Or give users, especially paid users a warning before matching that the profile is unverified). Unfortunately, scammers and time wasters seem to be taking over this app as of late.
5. [R39] Plenty of Fish 3/5 · GB It’s ok: I’ve used pof for years now on and off, recently signed up again and it’s very glitchy! I log in it won’t load properly I then have to uninstall and reinstall it thinking it’ll fix it, nope every time I open a message I have to close the app as it glitches and now every morning it tells my to upload photos and all my conversations are gone! Super annoying when u have to do that.
6. [R55] Plenty of Fish 1/5 · US If a feature on the app doesn’t work they will NOT fix it: I exchanged no less than 12 emails trying to receive help since the upgraded subscription features were not working. They never got the app to work for me and were of zero help.
7. [R61] 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.
8. [R72] BLK 3/5 · US Login issues: It’s an ok app to meet new people and try to find love or even friends! But as I tried to log in it stated there was issues I emailed the support and they became rude. Told me to make an appeal! Done so! In my appeal I made it very clear there was nothing on my page that was inappropriate and I’ve still yet to be able to login
9. [R4] Plenty of Fish 1/5 · US Garbage: They ban real users while letting scammers and blackmailing extortionists thrive on here I made an account and the next morning i was banned for some reason
10. [R46] Plenty of Fish 1/5 · US Unsafe ..: No one is watching the reported accounts. One thing about this site is when you delete your account sign back in all of the blocks against that account comes back. I have been harassed by someone who will not leave me alone. I chatted with them for about 2 days and realized the guy is mentally unstable. Stalker stuff, can’t take no for an answer. I can’t be the only person dealing with
11. [R64] 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
12. [R79] BLK 1/5 · US Customer service: My account was hacked and it’s been years and I still haven’t gotten in touch with anyone to fix my problem
13. [R24] Plenty of Fish 3/5 · US Ok for free: Can be very laggy & doesn’t make sense when you pay for the subscription service you don’t get unlimited messaging. I have no idea what perks I get for paying…
14. [R67] BLK 2/5 · US Shouldn’t have to pay: I believe you’ll get better ratings if we didn’t have to pay for everything
15. [R111] BLK 3/5 · GB EXPENSIVE: So far it’s okay but who is paying this much for dating apps please???? The discounts aren’t it but so far it’s a good app to navigate, only issue is how expensive it is 😫
16. [R120] BLK 1/5 · US Just like every other app: You have to start a subscription to match with people, its like an adult version of wizz😂
17. [R78] BLK 3/5 · US So So App: The app is so so. It’s like a lot of apps these days where it doesn’t always work properly. And I was really disappointed that I purchased a subscription to be able to actively engage people, but they charged my credit card more than what I selected. And there was no way to really correct that. It’s hard to get app support
18. [R93] BLK 3/5 · US Fix your log in issue: Be careful barely made my account and after 12 hours it was not working kept saying na error was made and to contact customer service. When having done that they dont reach out AT ALL
19. [R1] Plenty of Fish 1/5 · US Confusing: I didn’t understand how the matching system worked and ended up gaining messages from men 40+. I am 20. I had no say on who could message me. I had got annoyed so I started trolling one of the old guys, I was reported and banned from the app right after. Catering to weird old men is wild and the matching + messaging system should be changed.
