Leave a Review Hily Dating App
This site is the worst!
I subscribed to Bumble, Tinder, and Hily on the same day about a week ago. I used the same photos and bio on all three sites. On Bumble I Iiked several women and had 40 matches by the end of the week. Currently, I’m chatting with 20 women. I went on my first Bumble date just yesterday and have two more lined up for next week. On Tinder I got around 20 matches, and I’m currently chatting with three different women. On Hily, I got 11 likes, and not one single match. The women on Hily that liked my profile were not attractive! The profiles I did “like,”never responded as a match. Now, I don’t claim to be Brad Pitt, but I’ve been told I’m a handsome guy. I would be confident in saying that I’m average or above in looks. The results I got from Hily just don’t add up compared to the other two sites.
I highly suspect most of Hily’s “attractive” female members are actually fake accounts posted by them to bilk money out of male members. I hate how they nickel and dime every little feature of the app. You have to pay separately for an “unblur” to click on a photo of woman that liked you, only to see the face of a troll, an overweight and filtered teenager, or a grandma! This site is fake. I only wish there was someway to hold them accountable and get my money back. Don’t bother with this app.Show lessTheatre Tex

Hi from David! Thank you for your feedback 💜 On Hily, we're committed to creating a genuine dating environment, and you don't need money to chat with your matches. If you're having doubts about the authenticity of profiles, please report them via support@hily.com or in-app Live Help 🙌 For a refund, please contact us there as well, and we'll assist you accordingly.After LIVE went down so did the app
When I first got to HILY it was great like the rewards for coming back were nice, they could be very specific in your profile and who you wanted to meet. The big thing was LIVE though being able to sit in a live chat with people streaming and talk to them was the easiest way to get matches and make friend or find someone interesting to talk to. LIVE was literally the life of HILY for a LONG time. Even when HILY started having the ads more frequently even when the money hungry tactics started showing more LIVE kept me and others coming back. Next thing I know LIVEs disappeared and all of a sudden the app because one of the worst, you get possibly 5 likes/dislikes before an ad pops up, they still have the issue of rampant bots, scams, and people promoting specific content. If you even think about buying anything it’s not really worth it cause chances are those ppl aren’t using the app anymore. And to make it worse the hide your profile if you aren’t using the app in 2-3 days. How dare you get rid of everything good about the app then punish ppl for not logging in daily just to get bombarded by ads. It’s not worth it anymore it’s just hot or not swipe simulator atpShow lessAstralTitan624

First I would like to say that you should prepare yourself for frustration with this concept. Advertised as thousands of local singles. Try about 70 tops and 80 percent being 18-20. Not the worst part of the app. Second you will buy a package believing that if you do get likes or people to visit your profile you will think you would get to see and chat with them. Not the case. In there advertised package you receive 5 unblurs. Meaning everyone you could potentially be trying to communicate with is a mystery. And those 5 unblurs, well that’s for a week. Not to mention that if your straight and put straight as you preference. That if I man pops up from not knowing who is hiding, well that’s gonna cost you one unblur. Also distance isn’t included until oh, your someone I’d be interested in but your 600miles away. You can buy more unblurs, but what for? To maybe get someone you’d actually pursue, who’s actually close, and who’d actually message back. But they have many compatibility, rewinds and a bunch of other worthless tools you might think about using after you’d match and chat. All in all not worth it. Totally disappointing and just a terribly thought out concept. If you looking to meet someone, well I’ve met more women at a gas station in a year. So I’ll stick to buying gas.Show lessMnmad 1

Just to give you a back story I don’t take dating apps seriously but instead see how fair and honest the app is. Hily is an incredible app for women but I will say for men you will most likely not get a match as you have to pay for everything. I have had hily for two weeks now and have 8 like none of them I have seen or matched with. You have a much better chance at using bumble, hinge, or even tinder if your trying to find a match. I understand business and I understand how marketing to women is how dating apps work but completely forgetting about the guy and having them have to pay 15 dollars a month just to match with someone is insane. A lot of men I have spoken with have said that Hily is biased towards men I didn’t believe them, I know all apps like these are biased but I really couldn’t have guessed how much Hily really makes it hard for men to find love. Hily I think you and your team need to figure out a way to use your marketing for men as well. As your competitors already are marketing to men and women allowing men to match and find love. I think if you don’t fix this issue fast word of mouth will get around and you will lose a massive amount of the male audience which will in essence break your business.Show lessJjjjjjjjjj7074780

This is quickly becoming my favorite dating app! It has some solid features that are better than some of the more expensive/popular apps. The bugs are minor like when I set my search radius to 50miles or whatever, I will still get matched with people from across the country. Another bug I’ve noticed is they have a tab called “my reactions” or something like that where you can see the people you have liked, but not everyone you have liked end up on that list for some reason which is super annoying because I don’t have time to message everyone right away, so I like to go back to that list when I have more time. Also if I set my search parameters to something like exclude “fit” body types, I immediately get a message that the app has re-adjusted my parameters to help match more. So the option to pick different parameters is useless because it immediately gets changed back to default. Honestly if they fix those bugs and add the ability to match with people who have recently been online instead of always matching with dead accounts, this could be an easy 5star review.Show lessEscYore

Dear Customer, thank you for your valuable feedback. We are so happy to hear about your good experience with the app! We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the bugs you mentioned. Our team is actively working to resolve these issues to enhance your experience. As for seeing users from a wider area and the filters restarting, I would like to mention that both situations happen because of the lack of users in your search radius. We are engaging with more users around the world to fix these issues and bring new and active profiles. As for the 'My reactions' tab, not all users that you like appear on that screen because those users have skipped you, blacklisted your profile, or their account got banned or deleted. Anyways, we will take your feedback into account to improve our performance. If you have further questions, please get in touch with us at support@hily.com or in-app Live Help. Hily team 💜Disgrace to dating Apps
This doesn’t even feel like a dating app. The whole concept of paying to see who finds your profile appealing is ridiculous. I have so many reactions and account views but have not been able to even find a match I’m interested in as I have to pay to reveal a majority of my options. I get that this is a business but you really cannot even call this a dating app. It’s feels more like as if I’m on some dystopian match making platform that operates based on how much money I’m willing to cough up. Instead of asking customers to spend hundreds of dollars a year for “companionship”, how about you guys actually provide people a platform where they can comfortably match with someone based off true mutual attraction and not based off payments. So overall I am not only disappointed in you guys but just disappointed in dating apps in general. I really wished they would be managed by people who are actually interested in improving online dating for the betterment of society. Unfortunately it turns out Hily is just like the rest of the dating apps, a platform solely looking to capitalize of the loneliness of young people.Show lessLlllllok

Being honest I haven’t had a bad time on this app so far. Found it because of TikTok and gave it a try payed for premium because yes I’m impatient and curious who liked me plus you get “Major Crushes” every day so you can send a first message for a first impression before the match and all that jazz. I am sick and tired of the distance settings tho. Normally I don’t care about distance I like to drive however I set my max distance to 60mi and made sure that the app does NOT extend the range to find more people however I see people in NY which is fine but not to the point that someone is 260mi or more away when I have my settings set to 60mi max… Being honest don’t really get much matches in general don’t really care about that part but then I’m getting likes from all these people that are not showing up in my feed but I’m showing up in there’s and they end up being 6-9 hours away😑
That is all again not a bad app just annoying how it seems like the set distance doesn’t really workShow lessAsokaM

Dear Customer, we apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the distance settings on our app. We understand that it can be frustrating to receive likes from users who are located far away from your set distance. Please make sure that the "Expand search area" feature is disabled in the Filters menu to ensure that the distance is accurately reflected in your matches.

Hily team 💜Definitely a Scam
Saw an ad for this app on TikTok. Figured I’d try it out real quick to see what it’s about. Had it for a few days now. Pretty sure 90% of the accounts are completely fake. If you get any likes you will never be able to match with them since they never pop up on the feed. Only way you’ll ever be able to see them is if you pay, and like I said I’m pretty sure the accounts are fake so you’d literally be paying to match with fake accounts. I’ve also received a message which is similar to getting a like, but once again you have to pay to see it. I can tell from the picture of the account that messaged me that the girl is clearly attractive, which makes you want to pay even more so you can match with them. I can also tell from my likes that they’re all attractive even though they’re blurred. So they use fake accounts with attractive girls to make you want to pay to match with them. Only way I’ve gotten matches is if I like first, then the girl matches, but every match I got either doesn’t reply, unmatches or the account gets deleted. There’s also annoying ads that’s constantly pop up when using the app. Lastly there’s a live streaming section where girls just promote their onlyfans. This app is complete trash. Just another scam. Will be deleting.Show lessBrandons100

To start, this app doesn’t offer a lot of safety features. Your active/online status is constantly on and there’s no way to turn it off, this causes people to feel entitled to get answers. On top of that, anyone can message you, not only people who you like back, meaning the active status makes those not matches feel they should be replied to. They don’t make it clear that your profile will be shown internationally, which I think is an issue. A lot of people don’t have the money to travel internationally, so it doesn’t make sense to be shown that way. You have to pay in order to have a preference on the distance to yourself, meaning you have to go premium in order to see people 30 miles or under away. Hily just wasn’t an app for me. They don’t filter out to match your preferences, they claim by liking or not liking, you help them know, yet they don’t actually show people on your preference. They also send notifications that you “swipe no” too often but if I was shown people I prefer, I wouldn’t have to swipe no. To end, I tried to delete/deactivate this app, they didn’t delete my account!! They “paused” it. I definitely clicked “deactivate account” not pause. I hated this app and wanted to be off it completely. I felt unsafe and feel very unsafe it’s still “paused”. Thankfully, I did delete all the pictures of myself and added filtered ones that don’t look anything like me.Show lessAlyssuminWonderland

Dear Customer, we appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. We understand that online safety is important, and we will take your concerns into account to improve our app. Regarding the active status, we are working on providing users with more control over their visibility. As for international profiles, we aim to show users around you first, but if there are not any active people, then we start showing users around as love doesn’t have borders. Premium feature gives you more tools but it is not mandatory. Also you can ignore messages of user that you don’t want to reply.

Tinder is bad at matching, and requires a lot more effort to be in the top 20% plus the majority of the people who are active really are there for clout. Tinder has a better messaging system.
Hily on the other hand is very good at showing the spectrum of people but its still a 60:40 ratio which is underwhelming, again dating apps keep forgetting the main purpose of what people are actually looking for and that is to establish a good connection, and this app fails on how you actually are able to communicate with people especially when it comes to the messaging system, its pay to see who likes you, then if the other person doesnt have it they cant respond, again getting ones attention is very very hard on this app, and most of the people who return the favor of replying usually reply one time and then leave you on read, which is a downfall. So again paying to see who you want to chat with, then failing to actually respond and or see the response kills the chances of matching... So yeah they need to improve the messaging system and make it so that priority users get the attention first especially since they bought the fact to see them in the first place... also gifting is absolutely useless from what i can tell...Show lessCritic-101
