Not really worth using
Taimi makes you pay for really basic features - like even for setting a distance limit. I’m in Auckland and keep matching with people as far away as Christchurch. Makes the app pretty pointless.
The social media add on looks like it’s trying to mimic Hornet but again, same story, no one’s using it in NZ.
The only stand out feature is being able to see who’s liked you - for free, funnily enough. Again though, with heaps of people really far away, it gets tedious looking through the list if only 1 out of 5 people are realistically close 😕

Some of the most annoying notifications
I found when I downloaded Taimi that some of the more attractive dating users were on that site, and it seemed like I was having more success with it than with apps like Tinder or Hinge. However that success seemed to evaporate after a couple days.
Now Taimi seems to be trying to keep me active by sending notifications about “hottest story of the day” from some user who I never gave a second thought to. What can I do with that “story”? Any time I try to message the person, they read it and ignore the message. So... did I gain anything from watching or reading their “story”? I’ve never found stories useful on Snapchat, Facebook, or Instagram, so why would I want to see them on Taimi? They’re just millennial traps. But at the very least, can I please be able to turn off notifications about stories I don’t give a rat’s behind about? I also keep getting notified about new users near me. Again... don’t care, didn’t need a push notification. Last but not least, I get prompted to upgrade EVERY SINGLE TIME I open the app. Not even Tinder is that aggressive.

Termination of profile without any wrongdoing
I was excited to download the app and meet new lgbt+ people. Unfortunately after only having the app for a day I was banned for “behavior and unacceptable offers”. I messaged three people one just being a short “hi how are you?” that didn't go anywhere, my best friend who also just downloaded, and another person who was in the same field as me. A total of probably 7 messages or something. They said I had “multiple complaints” about my behavior, but they should have the ability to see my stuff right and see that nothing of the sort happened? I have no idea why I was actually banned it’s bs and I was really excited to talk to a new person I had just met on there. When I presented them with my concerns and asked about any proof of wrong doing they just sent me a link to their terms and conditions. Absolutely terribly disappointing will never recommend this app again. I just wanted to talk about biology and stuff with other lgbt people and now I will have no way to talk to the person I had just barely started talking to.

Great concept but....
I appreciate the concept of this app. The design is user friendly, colorful, and easy to use. On the other hand I question the security and integrity of this app. I have reason to believe that 60% of the profiles and or users are real people with bad intentions. This is evident from the posts observed in the various groups. For every 2 posts that seem genuine in thought there are 3 posts from user profiles with vague or no details, the pictures are screenshots of pictures from other social media sites, pictures with obstructing views of the actual person, the same profiles sending the exact same messages in multiple groups, users who constantly harass other users. I regret paying for an entire year as I only continue using it in fear of just wasting money. But during this time of fear and the need for genuine support systems I cannot continue using this toxic app. If you’re looking for genuine people then look elsewhere because this is not where it’s at.

Horrible
This app is literally horrible . I’ve tried multiple times to reach out with customer service and you know what they are? BOTS. The whole app is BOTS that really don’t care what the other person’s side of the story is . Literally they just ban you off what one person reported and I didn’t even do anything . The only thing I wouldn’t do , is send nudes to this one guy I ACCIDENTALLY matched on there .... this app could really use a customer support line or something because it really does have potential to be great . Also the email is a complete mess . I’m talking to three different bots I believed and have yet to find an answer . Examining each account is literally such a lie and it’s terrible they do it to the people they’re trying to gravitate towards

They refused to specify why I was banned lot of nowhere.
I have had 2 accounts on this app now. The first was banned while I didn’t even have the app downloaded at the time, and I would have never known unless a friend from there asked me why I was banned. I attempted to get support from their “live taimi support” and all they did was tell me to go to their terms of use or something. I do not see the point of live support if I’m just going to be told to look at their website or whatever. The website cannot tell me specifically why I was banned. I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong, and I couldn’t have done anything wrong because I did not have the app installed.
Ban number two came out of nowhere as well. I made a new account and I remember logging on to find that I had been banned again.
I’m starting to believe that this is because of my beliefs. I am a gay man, and I have “controversial” opinions (about lgbt) compared to others in the lgbt community. All interactions I have had related to this have been respectful.
Anyways, I do love the app itself and it was really good for me. I met a lot of cool people from it and would like to be able to use it again someday without the fear of being banned spontaneously.
1 STAR because of the seemingly pointless taimi “live” support.

So Greedy!
The costs for an XL account is way too high. They set random things for XL only that makes using the app for free useless. Why would I use a dating app where I’m going to be getting people 80km away, which is the limit for max distance the app allows when using it for free. You’re better off using tinder or Grindr because they have better distance management, you can set better filters and the quality of the app is much better. Also what’s the point of asking me what my preferences in someone is if you’re just going to give me everyone on the app. If I don’t want a particular thing don’t continually show me people with that thing. To sum up, would not recommend.

Thank you for the review! Taimi is free to download and use in its basic version. We have extra features in Taimi XL, but you don't have to sign up. You can close all the pop-ups offering you a trial or subscription and enjoy the app for free.
Thank you Taimi!
So dating as a closeted(for now) trans guy isn't the easiest thing, especially in a very conservative area. I downloaded Taimi to meet friends and maaaaaaybe explore the dating world in a way that I'm comfortable and my identity is respected. I never expected to meet him, but after hours of silly conversations, late night phonecalls, and time spent with someone I think is really amazing, I've got my first serious boyfriend in a healthy and non-toxic relationship. I'm so much happier and can't stop smiling, honestly love him with all I've got and can't wait to see what life's got in store. Huge thank you to the team for making this app such a great place. When the pandemic is over, I look forward to my first real date. Taimi made finding someone that I can trust, open up to, and fall in love with do much easier than I ever thought it would be. Hell, I'm confident enough now, after living out of the closet on Taimi, that I'm planning to come out to my family within the next month or so. Pro tip: the key to finding your perfect match is a witty bio and to be yourself, 100%. There's someone for you out there.

Ridiculous
I never write bad reviews. Today this app has pushed my tolerance. Every picture I’ve tried to upload was disapproved. I look good it’s not my fault I’m grateful but I’m not a fake. When I tried to upload other pictures I was asked to take a live video of myself now to prove it was me. Bare in mind I had initially registered with my Facebook account. There was no support or explanation whatsoever my pictures were repeatedly rejected by someone I couldn’t communicate with and I was either to upload a verification video or not be able to log in. I couldn’t do it so I deleted the app. The app itself is mediocre at best. Nothing special at all.

Thank you for the review! Your account might have been blocked because of suspicious activity either with this account or with one that you created before (if any). Blocking of such profiles is done to ensure the safety of users on the app. If you think this happened by mistake - contact us at support@taimi.com. Thank you in advance!
Safety and customer service not a priority for this company
I paid to have the subscription so that I could turn of my location to protect myself when I saw a profile of someone who strongly resembles my abusive ex but was using a different name. They then had a glitch which both deleted everything I had written in my profile but also rest my location to display. This I feel puts me in some potential danger. I probably should have listened to my fear and stayed of the internet altogether after my ex but I wanted to be able to live life again as normally as possible. I trusted this company wrongly. And waisted a lot of money. It’s also a bit of subtle discrimination against survivors of domestic violence and stalking to make you pay to hid your location. When I tried to contact them no one responded on the live chat or the feedback comments. I had paid for three months in advance and barely used one. A refund of some sort would have been nice after the distress this is causing me but really even a response would have been nice. Also I had to fill out the close account thing more then once before I could actually close the account because it glitched out there too and deleted everything I wrote there as well. Bad glitchy app and bad insensitive company.
