Scam!!!!!!
When I found this app I thought finally I’ll have better luck with dating, making friends and having support…..WRONG!!!!!
This app has to be a scam. What type of dating site/app makes you pay to talk to someone you matched with?? I thought that was the whole point match with someone and advance forward….nope. The subscription options are terrible because who wants to pay $30+ a month to talk to someone😐😐other dating sites such as Taimi, HER ect aren’t that expensive so why is this app asking for a kidney liver and a soul.
I’m honestly surprised people pay and have kept this app a float. It doesn’t feel genuine at all. Bringing a bunch of people who are faced with similar challenges who want to find companionship etc and charge them a arm and leg feels wrong. This app, I thought was suppose to help people and make them feels better but instead it makes some folks feel worse because it’s a “oh you pay just to talk to people who can relate to you or don’t pay and be stuck in a normal world where people don’t accept you” and that’s really hurtful and sad.
DO BETTER DEVELOPMENT TEAM!!! BECAUSE NO DATING APP OF ANY KIND SHOULD BE THIS DUMB AND EXPENSIVE (claiming it’s to maintain and improve service) IMPROVING SERVICE WOULD BE TO LOWER THE COST AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR EVERYONE CAUSE $30 LITERALLY DETERMINES IF SOMEONE EATS OR GOES HUNGRY AGAINShow lessCamryn_Alexander

Before I downloaded, I looked at the reviews, mostly the negative ones. Most of them were consistent over the years saying that members have to pay just to respond to messages that were sent to them.
The developer consistently responded saying "standard members can respond to emails and messages for free...". I figured this was pretty standard and if so, still worth a try.
I've been on the app maybe 10 hours, and I got a message from another member. I read their profile and decided to like them back. That's when I got the first prompt to pay for a sub. No biggie, they said it's free to respond so I'll just do that. Type up my response and click "send", them boom. Blocked by the subscription sign-ups.
So I'm asking for transparency. Why respond to reviews saying that responding is free when it's not? Why isn't what you specifically can and can't do for free explicitly spelled out in the app? I've seen the developer say that the fees cover the maintenance of quality for the app, but that is something that needs to be spelled out with crystal clarity for members. What is offered currently feels like a major bait and switch.
I can afford a membership, but in my short experience it doesn't feel like it would be worth it to invest in an app that doesn't cover the basics well or is honest with their members.Show lessdjdevj

Dear djdevj, thanks for your review. We understand your concern regarding the ability to respond to messages without paying. Allow us to clarify the possible scenarios you may have encountered: 1. If the message you received was a "wink" or a notification such as "liked you" or "private photo request," these are system-generated notifications and not considered messages. As such, they may require a premium subscription for certain actions. 2. If a premium member sends you a message while their subscription is active, but you do not respond, and their subscription expires after a few days, you may lose the ability to respond to that specific message. To better assist you, could you please provide us with a screenshot of the message you're unable to respond to? This will help us investigate the issue more effectively and provide you with the appropriate assistance. You can reach us at reviews@positivesingles.com.Life Changing!
Before joining PS, I was coming out of 4 years of social isolation and barely leaving my house. Other dating apps were disappointing, rarely matched and dreaded having The Talk if we did. Within my first 24 hours on PS, I had 100 likes and messages started pouring in. Now, my 4th month on it, I have made several awesome friends, have gone on many dates and have a constant stream of attention coming in. Extremely validating for someone who’s had herpes over 20 years. There are many people on PS who are not at all my type, but it’s easy to block them and focus on finding quality matches. The more I’ve edited my profile to reflect my full, authentic self, the more magical matches I’ve attracted into my life. Thank you, PS, for giving me back my social life and connecting me with people who feel like my Tribe! Eternally grateful.Show lesslittle Lisa T
No message approval?
I really wish people didn’t have the ability to message whoever they want. I have to sort through 100 messages from people I literally have zero interest in and half of them have no picture saying really creepy things that make me feel uncomfortable . And No, I won’t approve your private photo album request.
Why are these things free access to everyone?? This should only be allowed when there is mutual interest shown. It’s a waste of time to go through the messages and honestly just too creepy for me. It feels too unsolicited and crossing my boundary.
Besides that, the dating pool of the people in the areas I’ve been have been slim to yuck. Originally wanted to hop on this app hoping I could see the light on this situation but it honestly has now just made me feel even more hopeless.Show lesschelseaalberti

Hi everybody it is a great place to meet. Nice people my experience are wonderful
Of course, you have to watch out for scamming, but it’s the same as you cross the street you make sure nobody comes close to you
We are sitting in the same boat I am talking, especially for the Hiv people. We are so blessed with the medication we have these days if you were just diagnosed with HIV don’t you worry you can live in normal life you have to take your pills and they have some side effects, but overall they won’t kill you if you take good care of your body and keep it every day even children and that is a blessing. Here is a man talking who wish he had kids the best would be half a soccer team but so far it didn’t happen, but still time to go, keep on dreaming and set your goals high because you will achieved them
Best of luck to everyone and things to this platform. You guys do a good job.

Premium membership bug on iOS
Besides echoing most of what the most recent reviews have been saying, I’ve been coming across a bug where I don’t even have access to premium features even though I paid 3 months in advance. And because I bought it on App Store, it doesn’t even register I bought a membership if I try to just visit the PositiveSingles website. Fortunately I’m in an area where there actually are people within miles of me so ultimately your mileage may vary depending on where you’re living.
Again, the app has a problem with registering your premium membership purchase if you uninstall and reinstall or change phones. I wouldn’t waste my hard earned money again on such a third rate effort of a dating app until they fix thatShow lessYoung angel young lion

Dear Young angel young lion, thank you so much for your reviews about the PositiveSingles app. Once you reinstall the app, please tap the "Restore purchase" which you can be found in "Settings". For the problem about the membership isn't available on the website, please send us the details with your username or registered email address, we will check it for you. We can be reached at reviews@positivesingles.com.Creators of PS
For the people that created PS I really think you should rethink what the subscription is. we shouldn’t have to pay just to talk to people. Why can’t y’all be like every other dating site where we can talk to anybody we want to. Now if we wanted to for example see who liked us back, or cast the drifting bottle, or Making the first move or advance search sure those I agree you should probably have the subscription. But just being able to talk to somebody, we should not have to pay $30-$110 . It’s almost like you want us to stay Vulnerable so that we have to buy your subscription. and from viewing almost all of your comments, I would’ve expected y’all to make the difference to your actual app where it was more user-friendly than a greedy scam . I really think y’all would be a lot more successful with your app if you actually listen to the people that are on it. take their advice, or at least lower the subscription, where it’s reasonable for anybody in any type of situation (because we do live in a time of Inflation and everybody is paying more for less ) be able to use your app. But I’m sure all y’all see are the dollar signs which is quite sad because your app really did have potential.Show lessMutant9827

Dear Mutant9827, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns with us. We appreciate your perspective on subscription fees.

I do not like this app and looks like all of the apps for people that are positive for stds don’t allow you to even get an message if you or the other person is not a premium member. I was told by support to just pay for the premium so I can get more action but most dating sites at least allow the initial conversation so you might be able to set up a date. All this site lets you do is window shop never get to try on the merchandise. We get enough rejection on our own but we come to this site because it’s supposed to be a safe place for us and it doesn’t even help us it just sends us on a wild goose chase. It’s not worth it to me except the drift bottles. We can have whole conversations there but most of them aren’t local at all. I am unhappy with this site and won’t sign up for any other positive sites since they work the same way. I’ll stick to all the other ones and the ultimate judgement.Show lessJoje4
DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE/APP
DO NOT TRUST THIS APP!!
They send out 🩷(likes) to people for you without your knowledge or permission and not to ones you’d normally send a like to.
They edit and remove what you put in your bio. Just recently, case in point, when I’m trying to warn off predators (they won’t let you use the word “horny” to impede the douches just looking for sexy pics) and removes content without telling you they did.
You get view/🩷 notifications and profiles that disappear and it’s all the same people. there are “new” indicators but on established profiles. It does bring some people together and fosters kinship in one aspect, but for dating, it’s lame. 😒Might as well get rid of the dating aspect and change it to more community oriented. I’ve tried helping them too, with A LOT of suggestions, but nothing. I’m just not going to date and work on my empire instead😒
They claim MILLIONS of members but I think that’s over the course of their existence. Every ACTIVE profile is hundreds to thousands of miles away and barely anyone makes any effort. I’m getting dudes in AUSTRALIA and I’m in the middle of the USA. That’s the best you can do positive singles? Australia? Hsv is expected to be in 1/5 people in the USA, you rake in money on our social stigma and that’s the best you can do?Show lessBrannyMo
Highly Recommend, Amazing Experience.
I'm someone who's given up on dating apps. But this app is DIFFERENT. The pool of people on this app are for real better than all other dating apps I've used. Here, people are serious about relationships and make their incentives clear. I've had much more engaging and relatable matches here, and easier conversatiosn with the provided icebreaker. Here, the local profile may be smaller but substantial HIGHER quality. The website can also filters out the bad choices for you by blocking thems, so it's super-verified and super-efficient. 100% would recommend for anyone looking for serious relationships and don't like wasting your time. Thank you (xxx), and hope the rest of you have fun on this app.Show lessJeannazou
