Location
The distance either doesn’t work or it’s done intentionally to make you buy it. I’m not sure but either way, 95% of the people I have seen so far are from different states. I’m in Cleveland and I’ve seen more people from Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia than I have from all of Ohio. I don’t recommend. At least tinder shows you the people in the area you set all be it might be 50/50 real to fake accounts. It’s still better than this app, you’re going to see someone you like and want to “swipe right” on and then you’ll get to the bottom and see how far they are and you’ll be so annoyed….

Don’t waste your time
Probably the worst dating app on the market. For every feature this app has, you can name another app that does the exact same thing but 10x better. I’ve had the app for about a week and got several matches but no one ever replies to messages. I wouldn’t be surprised if the app is hiding them from the recipient until they pay for a premium feature, as all these other reviews claim you won’t get genuine matches until you pay the subscription. The Blind Date feature is advertised on the App Store but it was so hard to find (you have to swipe down from the screen where you view your matches to access this feature, there’s no indication of this, by the way, I discovered it by accident). It’s also a pretty terrible feature as you get locked to a couple “blind matches” and can’t see anymore until the current ones send you at least 5 messages, which, as I stated before, is a massive issue on this app. They should really take a page out of FB Dating’s book and prevent users from viewing/swiping new profiles until they chat with their current matches. Anyways, this app has been a massive waste of time, you’re better off using literally any other app than Duet

Great idea but bad system
Love the blind date feature where it gives you a prompt and you pick 1 of the 4 answers it gives you then it tries to “match you with someone close by” and you can’t see any pictures until you each send 5 messaged. The major downsides and problems I have so far with the app and the reason why the rating is so low is cause 1. The blind date feature says it will try to match you with someone close but it will always match you with someone that is 125+ miles away in another state 2. No matter what you do with the preference the app will not match what you are looking for. For example I’m 23 is set my preference to 21-25 within 50 miles from me, yet the app will keep on giving me ppl that are either 18-20 yrs old or 28-40 yrs old that is 125+ miles away.

Not great
Even after filling out preferences I still got people outside of my location range, or ones that were too young. Also they do everything possible to make you buy the premium versions- how could I already have “31 people like you!” after my account has been up for literally 4 minutes? Also in /one/ of my prompts I wrote things like free Palestine, abortion is healthcare, etc and the app deleted /all three/ of my prompts for “going against community guidelines”. Will not be recommending or redownloading

Decent app, but needs some more work
I like the app look and feel. The profiles look nice and I like the extra features crush and reverse, but the main issue I have with the app is the age and distance filters.
The really big issue for me is the age filter not working as someone in their later twenties I do not want to see profiles of people 18-20 as one the age gap is pretty significant that I would feel uncomfortable talking to them mush less seeing them in person and even if I have an age setting it still shows me users outside the limits. This is why I have considered removing it until this feature gets fixed and refined.
There is a similar issue on the distance filter but it’s not as big of a deal as I would be okay taking to someone a bit farther away as long as the first (age ) filter worked correctly.
Dev team please fix this and I think you will have a really solid app that could be useful and enjoyable to be on! I will be awaiting the update.

Scam Likely
I recently joined this app and thought it was gonna be successful for me and it just wasn’t. The preferences you set for age doesn’t matter because it will just suggest you people like 6-7 years younger than you and then lock matches behind a paywall of $30 which I know other sites use but I also feel like they are bot likes. The Blind Dating feature suggests ppl from out of state or extremely far away. Overall I feel like you gotta really give money to be able to use this. Maybe with time it will change

I bought premium, here’s my review
This app may work for people in different areas. But I have my location distance locked at 30miles. This is being broken almost all the time. I do not have expand my search on. This is most likely because the app does not actually have enough people around me. Not only that but I’ve gotten multiple matches without premium (so it does seem that even without premium this app pushes your account to people in your area) but even if you have premium you will not match with them. I know it sounds insane but if I were to text one of these non-premium users they will not get it because they need to also get premium to see the match and the text. Not only that but after a couple “125+ miles away” I all of a sudden see someone that’s 11 miles away. Which sounds good like the app is fixing itself but it’s not good cause it’s always 11miles away, it seems fishy. Anyways the blind date feature seems rad but it only ever worked ones for me which extends my point it seems like there’s really no one in my area on this app so the app shows me people who are a 125+ miles away and or 11 miles away in an attempt to make me think that there are actually people on the app. If you plan to use this app do not buy premium but also if you use this app it’s useless without premium. So I’d just say steer clear.

My honest review
In complete and total honesty, I’ve been looking for an app to replace Tinder. However, Duet does hold matches from you in an attempt to make you buy their premium feature. The problem with that is it discourages new people from staying and it means that buying the premium is worth it because there’s only few people. My honest advice is to just wait until the app developers realize that is actually making people leave and reverse it.
Other than the app holding matches from you in an attempt to get you to buy premium, the app’s usability is decent. It’s not as streamlined as Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble, so people are forced to take a good minute to actually put effort into their profile. Making profiles more mandatory to get verified is a very good policy to have as it’ll stop bots and fakes from getting on the app.
The profiles themselves were good, people do take time to build it up, and put their information. Even the ones with no bio, there’s still plenty of info for them to share.
Price of Premium is another problem. With the app not having many people, i wouldn’t pay $24 a month. If it were up to me, premium would be $10 a month, in attempt to keep what community i have, and encourage building up because i know a majority of people want a replacement for Tinder.
In conclusion I do not recommend Duet as it’s a ghost town, and it’ll stay a ghost town. However if premium is reversed you make see people flock in.

Highly Recommend.
Honestly I’ve used this for a few days and out of all the dating apps and what not for meeting people I’ve used this one is by farrr my favorite. The people on here feel like they may be less weird than other dating apps *tinder* but people on here are genuinely so kind!
Disappointing, probably a scam.
I received many likes on my profile immediately after making a profile but never matched with them by swiping. Since buying the premium version allows you to see your likes and match with them I spent the nearly 30$ and matched with my likes. I messaged each of them and none ever responded over the course of about a week. I ended up matching with and messaging all of my likes and none of them ever responded. I figure that between 15 or so matches at least one of them would message back but duet proved this idea wrong. Eventually I became irritated and dropped premium and went back to the free version. After this point, I stopped receiving likes and matches, even as I continued to swipe. I kept some of my matches and none of them ever responded. It’s clear at this point that most of the accounts are fake or bots, which probably means their photo verification is at the least unreliable. If the app is only going to let you match if you pay for the right to see your likes and then withhold any likes when you stop paying, then the app is a scam. I hope others do not have the same experience that I had but I won’t be trying this app again. Overall I’m disappointed In what could be a great app.
