Genie = fast battery drain
Downloaded Genie a few months ago, but after creating a profile, I never used it because they want money. Had a new battery installed around the same time. The new battery has always been draining to zero within a few hours, even though the cycle count today is still 100%. I presumed it was a duff battery, but I’ve been too busy to look into it. A few days ago, I finally went online, and was advised to go: Settings —> Battery —> Scroll down to see which apps are using power. I’m addicted to Facebook. In the last ten days, Facebook in the background = 26 hours. Genie in the background in the same ten days, even though I never use it = 156 hours!!! I deleted Genie instantly. Battery now running normally. The difference is day and night. If your battery is always draining fast, delete this piece of crap from your phone. Deserves zero stars. The worst coding build I’ve ever experienced. Will be reporting to Apple, and asking them to remove it from the App Store. Goodbye Genie. I hope I never meet your atrociously bad coding ever againShow lessLoveableRogue
Great app
I have used the app , and I can who heartedly say that they are definately trying to break the tiring process of online dating. There is definitive though gone around the app. Had read the negative feedback before writing this , but a lot of this has either been fixed plus a lot who wants things very standard way. The app does face an uphill task because it is trying to introduce something new and users will need a learning curve. Users who want a quick and dirty standard app may not like this unless they are willing to 'pickup the app'. The video explainers introduced does really help going forward. Overall the app is really trying to do some great things to solve dating app issues and I love the bluetooth feature which is totally unique to this app .Show lessMaXa24!#
Great idea and execution
Love the bluetooth feature which is totally unique. For a long time didn't appreicate it as it was mostly not getting used. Then a few days later I saw someone at a bar and when I was at home , got a notification that there was a genie user nearby you a few hours ago. I tapped and viola, couldn't believe that i saw the girl in the bar. its a different feeeling to see someone on the app that actually exists and you have seen themShow lessrahul07in
Has Potential, But Lacks Polish
It’s an interesting couple of ideas at work here, however requiring your location to always be active is not only a massive drain on battery life but also smacks of location tracking/data gathering.
In addition there’s just a general lack of quality on this app. Sentences are written poorly and aren’t proofread. One instance was reading “thier” instead of “their” in a great big button on one of the main feature screens.Show lessGilly goon

Thanks for the feedback. Apologies for the errors. We are continually aiming to fix bugs and typos. For example, the latest version would have 'their' fixed.Your Ethnicity Policy is discriminatory
You force users to determine their ethnicity but only give a handful of options - particularly only Black or Asian mixed ethnicity options, you don’t even have an other category (which I hate but at least it’s inclusive). Therefore I can’t choose and by not choosing you give me a warning as if I’m trying to hide my ethnicity from other users and I will be penalised in some way for changing it. It’s disgusting and completely unacceptable. Either give options or let people choose not to declare it without some kind of penalty.Show lessKreamy87

Thanks for your feedback. The ethnicity field is optional. You need not declare it. Moreover, we are actually more inclusive as we reward our users with 2 free coins for choosing 'Doesn't Matter'. However, we have to also respect user views who want to declare and choose the filter. It would have been good if you would have carefully read what the pop-up was trying to sayQuestion about sign up???
When signing up to the app I was told to put in my first name and in smaller font next to that box I was informed that I won’t be able to change that later. What should people who for some reason might change their name in the further do. Delete their accounts? For example if someone comes out as trans and wants to change their name. Pls pls review this as I think it’s quite an important issue to consider.Show lessKatya0211

Thanks for the feedback. Imagine if users kept changing their names each day or age or other important fields. A lot of people would do this to be able to fool other users. To keep the experience of other users also good, we deliberately impose restrictions on certain fields. In certain cases, users can write to us via social media or our customer services email and we can change thisWow!
These Same League scores actually seem pretty accurate, the guys I'm seeing high Ratings with do really look like my type. So that's clever how they've done the Ratings.Woolletth
Won’t be using until they sort out…
The interface and the swipe sensitivity. The interface is not nice to look at or use. Also when you want to swipe it takes a long time. Should just be a flick of the finger but instead you have to drag their photos left or right.
Overall feels awkward.Knotslip
That’s the biggest innovation in dating I ve seen
Can’t believe nobody ever thought of the Bluetooth feature before . I ve only had 10-12 people turn up in the Bluetooth , but the experience of actually having seen those people in real life .. ohh wow . The swiping module is interesting too.. but it’s the Bluetooth thingy that makes me long for that notificationShow lessWow I love it
Downloaded the app & was surprised how good and safe the verification process was, definitely makes me trust this app more. So far enjoying it all and would recommend you to get this app.Karusia0267
