  • So far, so good

    I’ve tried a few dating apps- this seems to be the best I’ve used so far (I’ve been on it a couple of weeks now). I’m a straight female looking for an LTR.
    I paid for membership which seems pointless now: most other users don’t. They almost all request you send them a message, as they can’t see ‘likes’ (for which you have to pay the membership). Ho hum- lesson learned.
    It’s set-up is very similar way to Tinder, ie swiping left or right. Difference is there are very detailed questions (hundreds of them!) which people answer. This gives you a pretty accurate impression of who they are & what they’re after. Generally, there seem to be fewer ‘hook-up’ type men and weirdos than on Tinder.
    It is glitchy: I tried paying for boosts but they don’t work. I think you get the same effect from just updating your profile and/ or photos.
    Overall I would recommend.

  • Great app

    Orsome site. Really works
  • Been great

  • Best Dating App on the Market!

    I hardly ever leave reviews and good ones at that. OKCupid provides the a wonderful algorithm to finding someone perfect for you. Of course, it can have small bugs here and there, but no app is perfect. Yes, there are the micro-transactions available to see who likes you back or to be viewed first. But they aren’t that necessary which is great! The compatibility percentage is what gets it for me. You can answer tons of questions, I think 500+ at least and be shown people who answered the same as you did. Keep in mind, the more questions you answer, the more accurate the compatibility. And I love being given the option to choose any distance, any age, any kind of specification without having to pay! I met my boyfriend on here who lives across the country, but we plan on meeting by the end of the year. I’ve fallen in love with him & our compatibility went from 96 to 98% just because I answered more questions that he had answered. (And you can even see what they answered and how they answered it without having to answer yourself.) Thank you, OKCupid. I found my happiness. (: Tinder, Bumble, etc can’t compare.

  • Ok as it says in its name

    No bells and whistles here. Lots of non single people mixed in amongst the genuine seekers of more than casual ‘ hookups ‘ which is a lame, loathsome word which lowers the tone completely. Some profiles are very scant, others wax lyrical about trips to Timbuktu and their pictures are by mountains or exotic beaches. The site also proliferates with nasty semi nude selfies as do many others. So you will be swiping left more often than you’d like to avoid them. You can join me moderating from time to time. Men should work a little harder at making us want to see the real them. That means higher quality honest subtle pics, a thought or two before writing something crass and answering our questions if you start chatting. So yes OkC is ok, it’s safe if you follow its advice and lm staying the distance with it for now.

  • Too greedy

    Why should I pay to see all the people who liked me? It’s a vital function for the app and not having it makes matching up nearly impossible.
  • Have nothing critical against this app

    I’ve been using different online dating apps for long time and tried allll of them literally all of them and I really don’t get it how Okc isn’t 5stars already, So it’s completely FREE there are options to purchase a boost to have your account appear more or to see who Liked you (like any other typical app) BUT in okc I had the option to send massage ANY account I would be swiping -i understand this might be a big issue for girls because they would be swamped with massages- but these massages don’t go to your inbox it actually appear by the account name when your going through the swipes and if that account didn’t swipe back I can’t go back and be this annoying person sending massages all day long talking to himself, you won’t have these people anymore
    ‼️The Thing that need to be fixed immediately is whenever i wanted to un-match sombody goes to same list as blocked accounts and I don’t have an option to clear a conversation or delete it
    Last advice: need more advertisement maybe because it’s getting dead and so much inactive profiles (which you can set-up to see recently online but need to be fixed a little bit)

  • The best one I’ve used

    OK, no dating site is perfect. I have tried 9 different ones and not one has been perfect. But OKCupid is the closest to perfect of the 9 I’ve tried. 50% of the dates I’ve been on originated with someone I met on OKCupid. The other 50% have originated with a mix of the other 8 sites. I really like the algorithm OKC uses to match you with people - relatively simple questions you answer about your preferences, values, opinions, experiences, etc. There are over 2,000 questions you can answer, and they’re always adding more. The more questions you answer, the better your matches. This is also an easy way to see how compatible you are with someone. And you can see how they answered specific questions. The only thing I don’t like about OKC is when someone sends you a first message, you have to “like” them before you can respond to their message. Well, I don’t know if I like them yet - I just want to exchange a couple messages and see if I do like them. I wish they would change that. Otherwise, I think it’s a great site and the app is easy to use.

  • OkCupid I have a money-making idea for you

    I love the questions and the length it will let you write in the profile. The biggest problem is causing OKCupid to lose money. I want you to fix this because I want you to keep making money so that you’ll keep OkCupid running so that my profile will stay up and I will meet my perfect match.
    You need to allow free members to see messages that other people have sent them, even if they have not matched yet.
    Please. Just do it. You will make so much more money through your A-list purchases. Everyone else wants this feature. I promise. You can keep them in a seperate “other” category to the messages from matches.

  • They Killed It :/

    OKC was awesome when I used it two years ago. Since then, they updated the messaging system and now you can’t see messages unless you both like each other or you go to the other party’s profile. Ergo, you have no way of knowing if the other party will ever see what you wrote or know your message exists. Adding to this, anyone who does bother to write does not put effort into it now. They said they did this to streamline the messages, particularly for people with high incoming volume and to curb harassment. Let me tell you, as a woman who was getting a ton of messages under the old system, I never felt harassed and I responded to anyone who gave a thoughtful intro. That intro helped me decide who to talk to. I no longer have that because nobody cares anymore. Worse yet, the change turned OKC into a ghost town. I’m on another app and get a new message every 3-5 mins, and on another where I get a like every few minutes. On OKC, my profile is collecting cobwebs. It wasn’t like this before. I could use the % match to find people like me and easily interact. Now... crickets. The match was the one thing that set you guys apart and made your app more effective than others- now I’m back to using the others and sorting out who’s similar on my own just because I actually meet people on them. You guys ruined a good thing. Seriously.
