Can't stay within own country unless you pay - Don't waste your money, use a competitor
EDIT: The response that I got to this was an obvious misrepresentation. Their exact response was "Free accounts show matches globally, but upgrading allows you to set specific countries. Most dating apps also require paid plans for similar features" which is at best half true. The vast majority of apps allow you to see people close to you by default and charge if you want global settings, like a passport mode. If going to reply at least accurately represent your statement.

Thank you for your feedback! Our patented AI technology is unique and the first of its kind, unlike other apps. Free accounts show matches globally, but upgrading allows you to set specific countries. Most dating apps also require paid plans for similar features. We’re committed to improving your experience!
Seemed promising
Not much info provided
Also 90% of the people that liked me are Spanish speaking, and I don’t know a word in Spanish. Even if I am attracted, I won’t communicate with them.
Attract more users,promote,options to specify location preference

Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback on the iris dating app. We truly appreciate your insights and are glad to hear that our AI successfully identified your type, even though the geographical spread of the matches was not ideal. Please see: https://youtu.be/DN1nLrJHuzQ We understand your concerns regarding the distance of potential matches and the current user base. Expanding our user community, particularly in specific regions like the US, is a top priority for us. Your suggestion of offering free memberships and engaging in beta testing with a targeted audience, including influencers, is an excellent idea. We are actively exploring similar strategies to enhance user experience and grow our database. We agree that the full potential of our AI technology is best realized when coupled with a robust and active user base. Investing in marketing and user acquisition is part of our ongoing strategy to make iris a leading choice for singles seeking meaningful connections. Best regards, The iris Team
Issues
Another issue I have is being matched with males or transsexuals when I specifically stated my interest was women only. Maybe you need to add some more categories or an option to report receiving matches from the wrong gender.
Horrible looking people
Anyway, I gave it 2 stars for having the balls to try and match people based on appearance while every other app tries to match you to nonsense like “hiking”
Back to the drawing board, Iris lemme know when you sign up a few influencers and they start telling their friends.
Response from developer

Need more people
I’ve already encountered the stolen model pics scammers use on dating apps. With all this AI, why are you not able to do a reverse image search FOR ME so I don’t have to screenshot and search every image on here to eliminate criminals and scammers?
Murderers, rapists, and criminals have had their picture in the news, you should be able to check each picture uploaded and if your face technology is that good, note news articles where the person may have been mentioned, to protect us. Instead I feel like you put me out there to be scammer fodder. Our number one goal is not to be a victim of your clients. Please do something, anything about this…that is the only way you will distinguish yourself from other apps who just don’t care about bots.

False Advertising, Lies, and Deception
1. As other reviewers have mentioned, the “A.I.” technology they use is wholly inadequate for the task. We receive recommendations for individuals who we have “passed” on time and time again. It has almost no clue what our preferences are.
2. Further, I am an English speaking person, and it matches me with individuals in other countries where their bios are all in Spanish. I’d say 85% of the profiles I come across are Spanish, and there is no way to filter this out from happening. And again, the “matches” aren’t even accurate, so it ends up being a huge waste of time.
3. There is a Discover section on the app that claims in notifications that NEW MEMBERS JOIN EVERYDAY and to view them before they get matched with someone else — but, when you read the profiles, some of the profiles were written several years ago! These profiles are *not* new, and it’s unlikely that these profiles are even active anymore. There is no indication of when the users were last active, leading us to view profiles, of individuals who aren’t our type, from another country, who speak a different language, who abandoned the platform years ago.
Response from developer
We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with Iris. Your feedback is invaluable, and we sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations. 1. Our AI technology is continually learning and improving. The intention is to fine-tune match recommendations over time, based on your swipes and behavior. If you've been receiving repeated recommendations that you've passed on, that's definitely a problem and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Our tech team will investigate this matter. 2. We acknowledge the language barrier issue you've pointed out. We're working on implementing additional filters and improvements that will help customize your experience better, including language preferences. Your feedback accelerates this process. 3. About the 'Discover' section, we'll investigate the profile dates. We aim to provide only active and suitable matches to our users. Your point about displaying last active status is well noted, and we'll consider it for our future updates. Iris's central philosophy is built around 'True Attraction' and providing an efficient, pleasant dating experience to its users. We are striving to ensure our technology matches our philosophy, and we're deeply sorry if your experience was different. Please give us another opportunity to get this right for you. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Best regards, IRIS Team
Great if you want to date Long Distance
Hardly anyone in London which says a lot as I’m not exactly in some remote part of England
It’s a big minus for me.
