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.

Pay 2 play ah app
Downloaded the app just to check it out. Love the interface and setup but dislike how it forces you to pay for subscriptions in order to see matches. While other apps give you more swipes in order to search for potential match’s this app give you about 10 before asking to pay for services. I get they have to make money somehow but I think ads should be how not subscriptions. Probably will delete soon, have 2 matches but shows over 100 people have liked me.

Scam/money grab
I’ve used many dating apps, but Duet stands out as one of the most disappointing and exploitative ones. The matches I received seemed to be bots, providing little to no genuine interaction. It feels like the app is more focused on exploiting users to pay overpriced prescriptions rather than helping them find real connections. Unfortunately, the founder, Jing Wang, seems uninterested in addressing these concerns or improving the user experience. This app falls short of its promises, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone seeking meaningful connections.

“No Fakes”but Plenty Anyway
Like many dating apps it’s been infiltrated by AI/spam. How you may ask, when they advertise no fakes? Well it appears to be that they simply require a picture of you when you create an account, so print a picture of the picture you’re using to make your profile and ta da, a match! I live in a small population area and dropped my parameters down to 1 mile and I’ve seen more “potential matches” than any other app. Why is that? Oh, because they’re not real profiles.
Either this app isn’t delivering what it advertises, or it’s feeding you profiles that don’t fit your parameters. Either way, don’t spend $1 in it!

I don’t understand this app
So I downloaded it for fun, I noticed within the first few days that I’m getting a lot of matches. The whole system is set up for verification so no bots can come in. Well I’ve been on the app for a few weeks, gotten dozens of matches and only one of them responded. I will wake up in the morning to multiple matches, with legit profiles with bios and hobbies and whatnot and yet none of them will ever respond to messages. I’m talking north of 60 matches since I signed up and only one has ever responded and she ghosted after 8 messages. Something about it seems either fishy or weird. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, dating apps need to automatically delete or ban people who ghost or never respond to any matches or messages. It doesn’t make sense for you to be on a dating app and swiping on people if you refuse to message them. That’s like shopping for clothes, picking out a new shirt and then walking up to the register, putting it down and then walking out the door without the shirt and without paying for it.
