Leave a Review OkCupid Dating
Match killed OKC and dating apps in general
OKC is a cesspool of fake profiles and corporate attempts at making you spend money with every interaction you make.
The free version allows you up to two texts responses per day which is absurd.
It’s no surprise that Match Group has reduced 8% of their workforce and double digit decline in user subscriptions across their apps.
The best thing you can do as a user is avoid any apps that Match Group owns. They have single handedly killed dating apps.Show lessJust Please Work
Rip off
I’m not one to write reviews but I paid $69NZ to find out there are no matches in my area. This is robbery. You get asked to pay to find the ‘matches’, pay and then don’t have any matches??? I get shown men from the US - on the other side of the world. I want a refund.Nessnook

Ever since OKC got bought out by match, it’s had the same problems as tinder
I love it how they will shadow bam your account, but continue to allow you to spend money on it.
Premium runs out? Oh look, a bunch of new likes! ….from people you’ve already left swiped on……
Complaint filed with the BBB. I suggest others do the same.
Stick to Bumble.Show lesselgringo420
BEWARE: I was duped...
...and not by a stranger, but by the App itself!
Shortly after I finalized the account, I start to get likes, which felt awesome, only then to realize I now have to upgrade to see who liked my profile.
Naturally, pursuing the thrill, I upgrade and the lowest package is for one month. Excited, I go to check who liked me, it's then I realize I was made fun of...
None of those likes came from my city, or even the country for that matter. Mostly accounts from half the world away (south east Asian countries).Show lessKhiarov
This app SUUUUCKS!!
Turns out I had over 50 likes. Figured I’d go premium to see who liked me. Literally almost all of them were overseas women trying to meet an Australian guy. Once I deleted them all I had about 3 locals left over and they were all ugly. No local girls bother scrolling through profiles and liking any profiles. They just sit and wait for guys to cold call them with messages. So you’re expected to spam a billion messages to people who have not even indicated they have any interest in you in the hope that maybe you’ll get someone respond. Seriously, this thing isn’t worth bothering.Show lessAnt Sitar
Pretty average
One of the most expensive dating apps and when you originally sign up for a free account they blur out the details and faces of people who like you (like many dating apps do) … however you quickly accumulate lots of likes … what they don’t tell you is virtually all the likes are from people who live in obscure 3rd world countries other continents… people you’re never going to meet unless you’re happy to fund a trip for them. Pretty misleading and i feel like it’s false advertising to encourage you to pay a large subscription fee for matches with no realistic ability to meet. After you subscribe you quickly find out there is a hardly anyone using the app compared to the large numbers using Tinder and Bumble. Overall OK Cupid is not good.Show lesslozflan
OkCupid is ok
Ok, but could do better as my old school reports used to say. Like most dating sites the distance area to your postcode is naff. Clearly people nearer but it chooses to ‘hide’ them. Like within 15 miles I have 5 towns and many villages. Yet nobody shows after swiping left on one or two ( that often don’t match my settings either) -Highly unlikely!. You only have the option of ‘Liking’ or skipping. Would be helpful if there was a ‘maybe’ pile that could be formed. It’s free so better than most, unless you pay to see ‘likes’ which would save much time. I also don’t always get notified by email that I have a new message, which doesn’t send the other person a good impression. I’ve also been told that they sent a message & then noticed it had disappeared when later logging in again, which explains why I never got it so couldn’t and didn’t reply back!!.. Not very helpful!
Good luck, it’s a fickle online shopping world!Show lesshobopolo
Surprisingly good
Have used other dating apps before but this one actually worked, I know it sounds cliche but I found the love of my life here, so I just what to say thanks and suggest this app for other people looking for love. It’s worth a shot!VioletaZh
Way better than other dating apps
OKC is a great app, so much fun. I love that it gives the opportunity to really go in depth by answering multiple-choice and longform questions and writing as much as you want; this serves as a good way to weed out incompatible people as well. The algorithm is pretty effective in matching like-minded folks, especially because it allows for political orientation, among other things, to be a dealbreaker. I love that you can manually change your location, since sometimes you want to search in advance of a trip or move. There are things I would change or tweak, such as making it possible to search more than one location at once or to expand a certain number of miles, but only in one direction versus a radius, and also split the block function into a “no way, never” category and a “block, but potentially unblock later” category. I also wish you could have a separate profile for friendship versus dating—but over all, it’s a great app. Technical glitches occasionally happen but are rare.Show lesscortalex
DO NOT PURCHASE PREMIUM!
From what I understand, their premium subscription service price scales with the number of likes you receive. So if you only have a few likes it will be much cheaper to see them.
I purchased a month of premium to view my 500+ likes. It cost me $89. I opened them, had a quick flick through and put the app down for a bit to do something else. About an hour later, I opened the app again and I only had 7 likes. Nearly 500 likes disappeared in an hour. When I tried to contact their support about this bug, they said everyone must have unmatched with me or changed their preferences or deleted their account. This is ridiculous and impossible! I would understand if it was only 50 people or so but we’re talking about 500 people! It’s either a bug they are unwilling to fix, or it’s a flat out scam. Very disappointed, I’m down nearly $90 with nothing to show for it.Show lessUnic0rngirl
