Good Matching But...

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...

Good potential bad execution

The layout of the app is relatively OK and I believe having a compatibility test as the basis of matching is an awesome idea. Unfortunately, I feel like there is no algorithm that gives you matches based on this, nor does it really matter after you’ve taken the test as, it just gives you random people to swipe left or right to afterwards. The thing that really irritates me is the fact that anyone can message you regardless, if your matched or not, and it will tell you that you’ve matched even though you’ve never seen their profile, but just because they sent you a message. You can unmatch them but if they send you a ‘crush’ message then you can’t even unmatch and their message will be there forever. So they could’ve really had a great app here but they’ve absolutely ruined it by not really caring about matching people up, the algorithm or the compatibility. Wasted potential

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

In case you notice some fake or sketchy accounts, please run them by us - we will make sure to pass them to our moderators and try to verify them. Maria from Hily.

It’s ok

Well, you do get more swipes than other apps. The app itself seems ok, I do have a message from someone that I can’t read unless I pay, I could try the free trial but these seem to be a scam by not letting you opt out.

Hopefully il get a match and don’t have to pay to read it, so far no luck yet, I’m not getting the ads line others below are sayin, yes there’s some but it’s not that bad

Ads too intrusive

The ads are insane you get 1 after every 3 swipes and they are super annoying forcing you to either play a little game or just stare at it until the x button pops up to close it, I usually give up on this app after a few swipes because I spend more time looking at ads than actually swiping on people

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

Basic click bait

Ima be honest, I’m not a remotely attractive guy so I don’t expect every girl I react to to also reciprocate the same.. that would be illogical, however it seems to me that everytime I react to someone’s profile they’re immediately taken out of the line up of options for me to possibly match with??? However the app is more than happy to suggest women from outside of my country 7 different times even though my distance is at 40KM max. Seems rigged to get you to immediately upgrade to the premium version and get you back out of the app. I’ve had this app for 3 days.. Not seeing why this app is more valuable than the likes of Tinder or POF or even Facebook dating! Atleast on those apps you know what type of people to expect.. on Hily you don’t even get a chance to look at the person
