  • The one dating app that’s really worked

    3 Reasons why this app is simply superior to the others on the market:

    1. I got lifetime access to all the premium features for $70. This means I’ve ended up paying way way less than I have payed or would have payed for access to other apps over time.

    2. They seem to advertise to a lot of people, especially young women. I have actually found what I was looking for. The money that people spend on here actually seems to go towards helping them get more potential matches to join the app. I’m sure they still profit but they don’t seem as greedy as other apps.

    3. This app hasn’t wasted my time by making me swipe through inactive or fake profiles to find people nearly as much as other apps. I went through all the profiles in my area and about 5 new people who match my personal criteria join every day. All I have to do is go through those daily, and they often reply. I get about 1 match every 2 days, which is way better than hinge or bumble. Less time sink, more girls.

    It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s blown its competition out of the water. It works. If you have money to spend, i’d recommend paying for this app, I’d recommend for everyone to use bumble and hinge without paying for them, and i’d recommend you avoid paying for any other apps because they are ripoffs, especially tinder. I wrote this positive review in hopes that people won’t spend their money on all the garbage out there. I’m still upset that I did. LOL

  • The most unlikely competition for Tinder

    This is, on my opinion, the best dating app out there, there is a reason why it’s one of the fastest growing, there is a reason why the close to 15 million people, on here, and that being there free version is really good, you can basically send unlimited likes, it is an app-based platform so you don’t like that well there it is. it’s layout style and match feature is very similar to Tinder and Hinge. you can either swipe right/left on a person or you can send them a message (via when someone their hobbies on their bio ) for free. The only few downsides it is that a lot of the people are just simply looking to chat and not interested in a relationship unlike most dating apps, nothing wrong with that but the app feels more casual then a lot of others. and another downside is this app will hound you for money more than any other dating platform. and some of the real dating features are blocked by a pay wall. but the free version is just so good where you can easily find what you’re looking for just by casually talking to others. overall, it is the best dating app whether it is a chatting with new people, looking for something casual, or looking for a serious relationship, this app has it all. you could say I hily recommend. :/

  • If you want to feel smart

    This app creates fake profiles to try and get you to purchase subscriptions. I take comfort when knowing that everyday they add more and more profiles to try and get you to give them money, and there’s legitimate businesses who make WAY more money because they have SMARTER business practices. I’m currently at 45+ crushes and every time i swipe until i can’t anymore i don’t a anyone, EVERYDAY. It’s funny to think someone thought this would be a good idea, and that they would not limit their success. I’m here to add to the 1 star reviews who are not stupid to the stupid business practices that they try to implement. Also to let other people see what excuses they use to this honest feedback. In almost every response they apologize for how hundreds of people “could feel this way” about Hily. xD They have rigged the conditions on both sides so you have to pay to match, that’s why they won’t give you the show hidden likes or whatever because you they want you to buy them and then a subscription limit runs out meanwhile the algorithm doesn’t show you any matches because then you wouldn’t buy the show hidden likes. Like I said way to limit your success

  • Money grab DONT DOWNLOAD.

    This is the only app i’ve ever used that has taken away nearly all of its redeeming features over time. I’ve been ising the app for years and It used to be unlimited likes then 100 likes per day then it became 50 likes and now its 30 likes per day. Absolutely everything is hidden by an outrageously priced $15/week yeah $15 A WEEK just to get some of the features that were free a couple years ago. It also recycles old accounts that havent been used in years into the swiping pool, even if you’ve matched with them before. It even included one of my old friends that had passed away 3 years ago. Not to mention all the bot accounts and unskippable 30-40 second ads. This app used to be cool but has went to absolute garbage with obvious desperation to take my money. I suggest you save yourself some time

    Update: the developer has not acknowledged anything mentioned in my review, except that the app is free. Nothing mentioned about how features that were free are now $60 a month. No mention of recycling matches. No mention of the bot accounts. No mention of why it costs so much even though the absurd amount of ads are supposed to “help fund the app”. If the developers response isnt obvious enough to steer clear of this money trap, i dont know what to tell you.

  • It has more paywalls than any other dating app

    And paying for it is not worth it. At first it seemed to be a decent app; it’s organized, has a lot of people using it, and has a 24/7 help line. But it turns out those pros for the app are pointless. Because from my experience, I realized that the app doesn’t give you a chance to match with the people who liked you. Because those peoples profiles don’t pull up when you're swiping. And I know this because the app tells you name of the person who liked you and those names never came up in swiping. So I messaged the help line thinking there was just a problem with the network of finding people. Which the helpline basically confirmed their was a problem and that it stemmed from preferences, even if your preferences were slightly different. But their solution they gave me was that there was nothing to do besides paying to see who liked you by unblurring their profile, even if you are already paying for premium. So basically they confirmed there was a problem but the only way to fix it was to pay more money. Which it’s honestly weird that they have so many paywalls because they seemed to just get in the popular dating app market. So even tho there going up against big names like bumble, hinge, and tinder, they still have more paywalls than any of those.

    Hi there, thank you for your review! I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your experience with the app. Please note that our subscriptions are totally optional and that you don't need them to get Matched with the users that had already liked you. It may take a bit more time before those users show up in your Finder or they may not fit the preferences you set on Filters. In any case, there's no reason why you must pay for Unblurs or any other feature if you don't want to. You can always find your perfect Match with the free version of the app. Hope this clarifies, let us know if you need any help! Have a good day, Val from Hily Support
  • Tooo many bugs

    I’ve gotten a couple of matches to which maybe 20% actually send a freaking reply back (especially since they haven’t been active in over months). But there’s a lot a pretty chicks around me. That’s besides the point tho. I have matches that have been added to my block list that STILL keep showing up in my swipe feed. For instance not to be rude or anything but a down syndrome girl clearly downloaded the app and updated pictures of her on there. I clearly didn’t want anything to do with her so I just blocked her straight up. But she keeps showing up in my feed almost every week. And kinda annoying. And this app also doesn’t record all of my matches that I pressed heart eyes to either. It’s very buggy and I see a lot of the same faces that I’ve already answered to a million times. I uninstalled the app and redownloaded and still got the same problems. It’s a solid app just pleaseeee for the love of peace fix the bugs. I think they should add a timer to people’s accounts to keep the empty profiles out. If you’re not active for over a month your account gets deleted. Or have have a recently active sticker on their profile. There’s also a lot of fake bot profiles as well. For instance I stay in Lousiana and have my distance set to 20 miles around me. But fake model girls from Houston still somehow show up in my feed and reactions. Very questionable. This app just needs a little bit of TLC. Overall cool app to meet ppl.

  • DONT GET THIS APP

    This app is literally garbage. I was on it for a couple of days and everything was completely fine. They didn’t warn me that my account was odd or was going to be disabled for whatever reason. My account was perfectly fine without any issues. All of a sudden my account is disabled/banned and it’s gone “forever”. They said they can’t get my account back. I get irritated and I ask multiple times what i did wrong for my account to get banned and where I can’t even get it back and they don’t tell me at all. They just send me a list of rules and regulations instead of specifically telling me exactly what I did wrong. It’s like they just banned my account just to do it. So i tried asking my question again and again and telling them how it’s unfair to ban my account without any warning so I could fix it. They don’t even listen to me. So i email them directly and they STILL do not help me. So don’t even bother with this garbage app and just stick with tinder or bumble or something. Because Hinge will just randomly ban your account for no reason and won’t explain what you did wrong and then say “it’s out of their hands”. Hinge, you’re a garbage app.

  • Amazing!!!

    I did uninstall the app, BUT because of a amazing reason 😁!!! I’ve met someone and we been together for the longest time actually even trying for kids, I wasted my time on so many people but let me tell you if you are reading this I promise this app was well worth it! I’ve even found some people to play call of duty with me! So not just dating you can also find friends to play video games instead of playing by yourself lol, also the man I met off there he is next to me he really says thank you to this app for meeting me, if anything if your looking for a relationship, really really look into their personality it did take make a bit to actually meet a guy who doesn’t want … yk.. but seriously thank you so much for this app I really recommend anyone reading download it! ;)

  • The new best dating app!

    This app is so much better than tinder bumble etc, you get a lot more matches and connections. People seem to also be more active on here and respond back faster. Also they don’t charge you a ton of money like tinder does to use their premium features! The fact that this app hasn’t blown up more yet is mind blowing! Depending on where you live etc the app may or may not be good because it lacks users compared to other dating apps. But if this app takes off more and more people start using it I can easily see it taking the number 1 dating app spot in the App Store 100%! It has all the features of pretty much all the best dating apps and more! It also has a live stream feature where you can meet new people and friends etc! 10/10 if you are debating trying this app out, just give it a shot you won’t regret it!

  • Pay to play trash

    App used to be decent when you could actually match with real people and occasionally get free unblurs. Now the app is chock full of bots, accounts that haven't been active in years and if you even dare to skip ads by closing app and re-opening you'll eventually get blocked from using Hily. If you aren't subscribed to their service you won't run into any matches and when you do after swiping on thousands of accounts from other states, you'll receive a nice little message saying the user is popular and can only be seen by premium users. I also don't doubt they have a assortment of their own bots that are there strictly to like your profile and nothing else, because if you do end up getting premium after receiving some reactions you'll come to find out the users that liked you are either out of state, in a different country or fake. You make a new account and those same exact people like you, but if you send them a message it'll never get opened or replied to. Trash app don't recommend.
