A scammy cash grab. The replies under comments are incredibly misleading. Apparently they are focusing on more dating oriented features and they list everything you can do which is technically true but it’s incredibly misleading. You can do all of these things with extreme limits. The experience is extremely disappointing and the practices they use are predatory. No matter where you go you’re incredibly limited and a prompt to spend money pops up. The app started out great years ago but it’s just a cash grab focused on taking money out of the pockets of some of the most vulnerable people in our society. Finding friends to build community or a date shouldn’t be behind a paywall on a so called “inclusive app”. It’s also stated that the premium plans are to improve your experience with the app and that it isn’t mandatory to use Taimi is another misleading statement. Yes you can sign up and use it but you can’t do anything of substance. Limited swipes, blurred out profiles, receiving messages you can’t open without paying and before I even finished signing up I had 62 notifications saying someone “liked” me which is ridiculous…Shame on you Taimi what you’re doing is disgusting.

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest review! We'd like to clarify that although Taimi has premium features available at a fee, the basic functionality of the app is completely free. To chat and match with other people, for example, no subscriptions are required. Set your search preferences and head over to Discovery to start liking profiles. Whenever you have a mutual like with someone, you'll be notified of the match, and from there you can start chatting! Whenever you run out of actions, simply wait until the next day to continue swiping. Contact us at support@taimi.com if you have any questions! Love, Juliana from Taimi

Overwhelmed and disappointed

I usually dont do reviews but I’m sad about this app. I downloaded taimi because of all of the advertising I had seen on tiktok. I wanted to find friends in the lgbtq community and talk to pretty girls. I made my account, and set my preferences to 50 miles and 19-26 years old. The app immediately started showing me people from different states all the way across the country, and even showed me a 65 year old man. I went and checked the filters, I don’t know why they would ask if they weren’t even going to do anything with them. Anyway, the app was FLOODED with straight men. People can message you without matching first so within the first 20 minutes I already had 16 messages, one of the first messages was a straight man telling me how much he wanted to watch me drool on his “8 inch”. The notifications didn’t stop, you got them for everything. If someone liked you, messaged you, or even just viewed your profile. It was very overwhelming and I ended up deleting my account and the app off of my phone. I just wanted to make friends and talk to pretty girls.

gettin there

i’ve been on taimi since i came out it’s where I met my current partner of a couple years. and i love the software updates although they were a bit long winded at first it still learns well. the secret photo update is pretty awesome the fact y’all loosened up on nudity regulations on a completely adult app makes total sense to me. the deals for first time subscribing is also pretty nifty and even gold at $10 for a month is completely reasonable with all the bonuses. personally however i would love to see an update in the future where you can list that you’re in a relationship (poly, open, experimenting, etc)not only that you’re poly or in the “about me” so that others would not only be aware right of the bat that you’re in a relationship but what type of relationship you’re in with you’re partner(s).
another area i’d love to see something similar incorporated into is the ability to see who you’re in a relationship with kinda like ok facebook and with consent from both parties be able to have them (your partner[s])added to your profile. i know in the new *vibes* section you can add that you’re poly or mono or but it’s on the second page of the info.

I DON’T recommend this app for these reasons.

It deletes ur account without ur knowledge and u lose everything, it also loses ur premium so don’t buy it’s not worth it, and no matter how many times I swipe off someone they keep popping up on my page later on, and the filter doesn’t even matter due to u still getting people that are NOT in ur preferred filter range like what’s the point in that if ur still gonna get random creepy 50 yr olds tryna talk up to u? oh and another issue there are SO many cis hetero people on this app even tho it’s MEANT for LGBTQ+ people, there are so many other apps for that so there’s really no need to use this one, so thanks a lot Taimi. 😟

Thank you for the review! Most likely, you didn't use the same log-in option you chose originally. Not to worry, though; we'll help you regain access to your account. Would you be able to reach out to us at support@taimi.com? As for the issues you're having on Discovery, our apologies. However, we're currently optimizing the algorithm, so we expect this problem to be fixed in the near future. Thanks for your patience! Sincerely, Juliana from Taimi

Have to pay for everything.

This app would be great if you didn’t have to pay for everything. I love the diversity and it being so inclusive don’t get me wrong, but I just downloaded it and already can’t see anymore people or match with people who like me because I have to pay for it. It says you have to like so many people so they can see your type I guess, and that’s the majority of your clicks already. If someone messages me I can’t view it to respond or see who it is without paying. I understand apps have to do something to make money but completely closing off all options and making someone pay or wait 24 hours, kinda ridiculous. I was just looking for an app to find friends or something more and this app was so talked up, but that’s all it is, just talk. Hopefully something will change to where it’s more of use to people who are broke, but until then I’m probably gonna delete it. I don’t hate the app, it’s probably great if you pay to use all the features, but not for me.

Taimi experience.

First I think Taimi should make it compulsory for every user to Verify their Identity because so many guys especially in NZ use other guys photos because they don’t want to be exposed for liking trans girls so they use stolen photos and the person in the pics are seen as being gay and they are not aware that other men are using their photos.

It would be better if you didn’t constantly encounter the same people🤷🏽 I have swiped left to people who are not looking for the sane thing as I am. Then when I go back on the app, those same people are there? It’s a cheap weekly cost if you want an upgrade. But I don’t necessarily want to pay for more likes or whatever it is😒 No matter what app I use I never seem to get anywhere😕To be honest though it is the first app where you can actually send a message without having to have a mutual match. But the first messages are either cringe worthy or boring. I know you can make a custom message but not everyone is good at “chat up lines”. It’s a lot of pressure considering most people want a flawless chat up line but it doesn’t defy who you are🤷🏽 Obviously that part isn’t the apps fault. But it would be good if they provided good opening messages. Now I’m giving it two stars because every time I open the app I’m always seeing the same profiles. Once you type your “about me” you can’t even adjust it

How do I put this…

This app is both the best and worst I’ve ever used. I get a decent amount of likes, however, they are not mutual so it would be awesome if I didn’t see the same profiles 20 times per month. I’m in a city and I see new profiles frequently, but the ones I’ve disliked on multiple times always start off my feed. It’s almost like they’re the receptionists to greet me on my way to browsing. Then I get an ad for Taimi gold or whatever. “You just missed a potential match!” Oh no. Anyway.
The notifications for this app are hilarious and I love how bad they are. I appreciate a horrid little “😮‍💨NEW (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎ LIKE😮‍💨” coming across my screen.
Also, I got a notification for a like from MONTHS ago I matched with. I got my hopes up for nothing, as he was no longer on the app. Devastated. At least Tinder has my back.

This app is FOR YOU if you like a little ego boost. As you can see from how I’ve written this review, I do. I do not recommend it for marriage material, but it’s decent for friends and feeling better about your physical form.

Recommendation: make a feature to filter poly relationships and/or hookups. I am not poly and I’m tired of getting interested in someone only for them to want me to become intimate with their partner as well. That is just not for me, and a toggle for this would be splendid. It’s better than Grindr, but Grindr is a very low bar. Love the app, but I also don’t. Cheers

Getting worse every update

Every update the app seems to get worse. There used to be a social media type feed, that’s gone, there used to be live-streaming which was fun to talk with someone, that’s gone… the new profile card things just seem unnecessary. Also unless you pay you get absolutely nothing. Even other free dating apps allow you to select a search radius but on here if you want to narrow it down to 80km or less you have to pay. There’s also a lot of inactive profiles that appear. Cancelled my subscription today as it’s just a ghost of what it was.

Free version now useless to me

I find Taimi fairly unuser friendly now that most features are pay to use. I started using it before that dreaded update and still have it but rarely look at it as it takes time and effort just to filter and find people who are local. I can’t afford to pay for dating apps. Other apps offer more usability before their paywall hits.
