Won’t let me view any messages unless I sign up for a subscription

I don’t want to sign up until I see whether the people this app attracts are worth paying to use the full app, but if I can’t access even basic features like messaging without committing to a subscription so I don’t think it’s worth it.

This app was once fun….

When I first heard about this app years ago it was an amazing place to meet friends, dates and help me get a couple boyfriends and after coming back it’s just a massive pay wall to do literally anything. Wanna see who likes you? (Pay wall), wanna see who views your profile? (Pay wall), get a message from a non-match person? (Pay wall). Yes make premium a thing but not £15 a week… it’s ridiculous. Another massive thing, it’s a massive cesspool of predatory behaviour… I put in my preferences into the app and they weren’t applied at all. I put my ages 25-35 and I’m still getting 50-70 year olds that have put their ages lower or even if they are honest I still get them. This probably happens to people younger then me as well. It’s just a massive let down especially when it’s the only proper LGBT dating app out there. Just miss what this app was and had…

Garbage app don’t waste your time or money

Y’all really ran this app off of a cliff and into the ground when you changed up the subscription capabilities of the gold membership from unlimited actions, to 110 actions limit per day, reduced the number of rainbow likes in half, from 10 per week to 5, reduced the number of boosts per week from 3 to 2, and what’s worst of all is the way y’all went about it with complete disregard for those who spent their hard earned money on your app by selling them a subscription package that outlines the different features of the of the Bronze, Silver and Gold packages and then removing the features the user paid for when you updated the above outlined changes that were made to the subscription levels. That is a classic bait and switch scam of your paying users. The app is no longer useful for connecting with other users, and that’s a shame because this app used to be the cream of the crop! I’m afraid that’s no longer the case as the changes stated above have ran off paying customers onto other platforms and I know that because I for one was a paying Customer and now I barely even use the app and honestly will probably just delete it because there’s nothing of any value left on it. I definitely won’t be purchasing any more subscriptions so don’t waste your time with this app there are plenty better ones, this app is a has been.

Immediately paying?

Downloaded the app, got through making a profile & before I could even look at anyone/start swiping it immediately asks to pay for a subscription. Nothing about a free trial & wouldn’t even let me leave the page so I could exit out of a subscription.
Extremely extremely disappointing for someone who has just started on the app. Won’t even bother

No screenshots allowed

Had the app for a day. App is ok overall. Biggest downside is that I can’t screenshot profiles. I’m not the best of judgement when it comes to dating so I like to screenshot and share profiles to friends so they can help me judge. Can’t do that here due to the app’s “screenshot protect”. Best I can do to share profiles is to send a link which forces my friends to download the app (not something they want to do and I def don’t want to make them either) or to show them my phone in person for them to judge them. I could always take a picture using a different phone but why should I even bother with that if I could just, you know, take a screenshot? Since I’ve only had the app for a day, I haven’t checked to see if I’m also restricted from screenshotting conversations because I’d like to know if there are red flags I’m missing and I’m pretty sure you can’t exactly share a convo via link.

Might give up on using the app because of the lack of being able to take screenshots, no way am I making my friends make accounts so they can check a profile. If screenshots were available, I’d be more inclined to use the app.

Thank you very much for the review! The screenshot protection feature ultimately provides a safer and more comfortable experience for our users, especially keeping in mind the safety problems surrounding the LGBTQIA+ community. We understand you'd prefer to be able to take screenshots in the app, but this would mean jeopardizing the sense of comfort and privacy that our members are able to have in the app. Thank you for understanding! Love, Juliana from Taimi

One of the better dating apps but it's definitely not perfect

So for the most part this is the main dating app I've been using. It's easy to set up a profile and I would say pretty user friendly. I like all the information you can put into it. The biggest issue I'vs found is that it frequently gives me people who I've already swiped away from. I think I've had to "reject" multipe profiles 5+ times because it recycles the people who I've swiped away. The other issue I've encountered is that people who are out of my age range are allowed to like me. I would say at least 50% of my liked are above the age range that I am looking for. I'm 19 and I frequently get people in their 30's or 40's liking me. I also have the same issue with straight men liking me. This is an LGBT dating app I dont even know why there are straight people on here. I am a trans man and I get a lot of people liking and messaging me that have their profile set to straight and they say they are looking for "women and trans men". I wish there was a way to report people for being a chaser and using an app meant to be a safe space for LGBT people as a way to fetishise us. I have matched with a few people on here but there's also a lot of crap I need to swipe through.

Hi, A.L.! Thank you so much for the detailed review. We're happy you're enjoying the app! Some of the profiles you skipped will appear again after a while to give you a chance to rethink your decision. This is a test that was implemented to, hopefully, improve our algorithm and provide more results on Discovery. 💜 We'd also like to clarify that your profile will only be shown to people who match your gender preferences (sexuality), meaning that it's impossible for you to receive likes from people whose gender you are not interested in. They can, however, be slightly outside of your age or distance preferences. The same thing applies to the users whose profiles you can see - if they are visible to you, it means they've specified interest in your gender. If you come across anyone violating our Community Rules, feel free to report them to us directly using the in-app Live Support Chat or by e-mailing us at support@taimi.com; both support channels are available 24/7! 😊 Love, Juliana from Taimi

A masterclass in how not to build & operate an app

Taimi is a must have class in how you don’t build and run an app. The app started off incredible, features not seen anywhere else. Great UI, and a refreshing ability to build community as well as date. And then the greed kicked in, I mean why else would they make some of the most abhorrent UI/UX decisions every seen by far? It feels like they’re own by match— but not even match would do make of the bone head choices Taimi has made. Its thats a shocker.

Why continue to take the legs from under your user base with nonsense features,the removal of great features, and more money traps? Interestingly enough the community, at the beginning of launch, would proudly have crowd funded new features. As well keep the app enjoyable and popular. Thats If, Taimi had asked us to do so, the queer community knows how to unify behind a cause we see worthy. But clearly the company doesn’t think ahead or out of the box.

Many of you ( corporations) see communities like this as desperate and so, easy to shake down for profits. With that said, I hope your ratings continue to fall. Hopefully you all will go back to what made your platform unique. Time and time again, developers today seem to have a hard time realizing its about user focus. If you wrap your arms around your user base. The users will take care of you. Taimi is a great example of how you fail despite having all the tools for success in front of you.

Love Taimi the best APP

I started to use Taimi back to when the App just start on Apple Store. I am falling in love with the community on Taimi and the warm kind and lovely team members. I met my first dating guy from Taimi, and even we did not make it happen the end, I still glad Taimi ever bring him to me. Every time I open Taimi, I share my picture card of my life, chat people around me or even further at oversea. This App is literally owns my full loyalty and love. I am golden member and I believe for a small support, Taimi can go further and be with me. Thanks team for making this lovely App.

You swipe a few times and then you’ve run out of turns for 24 hours? You may have clicked the thumbs up once in that time or not even once, then no turns until 24 hours unless you pay. You get a few minutes if that of actually looking at or browsing profiles. Then wait till tomorrow to get another few minutes.

You cant see who’s liked you unless you pay. You can see you’ve got messages, but can’t open unless you pay.

Just awful

Taimi has been the worst dating app experience by far, and I’ve tried many apps. I used Taimi regularly for over 3 months and was a paid subscriber to Taimi Gold (the highest tier) for most of that time. I have never seen so many low-effort, low-quality profiles in one place. The user interface is decent; I liked how you could send a message with your likes and the other person would be able to see it and respond, creating an instant match, which is offered even on the free tier. I quickly matched with many people, but the conversations were so terrible. This is clearly a hookup app and will probably work well for those who are looking for that, but forget about finding meaningful connections. The one decent conversation I had ended up being a person whose marriage status was conveniently missing from their profile. I reported it and that profile is still up as far as I’m aware. You are already in a vulnerable position putting yourself out there on an online platform, putting time, effort and money into it, and to be met with the worst types of people is just sad. I expect that sort of thing on dating apps but it was just bad across the board, even worse than Tinder. I really wanted to like Taimi, but after 3 months of no dates I ended my subscription and deleted the app.

Just as we promote connections and meaningful relationships, we recognize that there's tremendous diversity when it comes to people's relationship ideals.
