Leave a Review OkCupid Dating
Over the years it’s got progressively worse
If they cut the crap like they used to then it would be a good app. But really I can only do 5/6 swipes a day?? What the hell is the business model? I upgraded and my account got completely locked due to a technical error, I emailed twice and I didn’t even get a response?? So now after me losing out last time when I had some good conversations, they want to overcharge me again. No thanks I think the devs/managers need to have a long hard look at themselves with regards to the business model, especially as most single people have been vulnerable and lonely over the past year. ***Update*** Now as a paid member I’m unable to send intros?! This was one of the better sites once upon a time! I can tell you 100% that I will never be paying for this app ever again. The main reason why no one can talk to each other is due to this company stripping back features and even to paid members. Avoid people avoid avoid avoid!Show lessRave David
Fake accounts galore. This app is not worth my time.
I usually don’t write reviews for apps but I need to share my horrible experience with this app. Let me tell you right now that I’ve been using this app for a good year and had no positive results. I didn’t use premium because it’s just not worth my money, and thus the people that are shown on my feed are either definitely not my type, way too far away (I set my distance to 25mi and I saw profiles from SEVERAL U.S. STATES OVER), or are clearly fake profiles out to steal my information. For example, I’ve matched with someone who wanted my number right away. Instant red flag. When I gave them my number anyway and we started talking, they gave me a long story about how they just got out of a toxic relationship, that they were looking to hookup, and that they’re turning 18 soon. The problem with this? Their OKcupid profile clearly stated that they were 19, looking for friends only, and mentioned that they haven’t been in a relationship for quite a while. The worst part? I’ve seen that exact copy-paste story from a different user I’ve previously matched with (and blocked). They even forgot my name. I became so frustrated that I deleted my account and removed this app from my phone. I may not have had much luck with dating apps, but I’m no longer going to waste my time using this one. Do yourself a favor and avoid using this app.Show lessTN4U
Best Philippines, and Vietnam dating app.
I love that OKC offers a huge selection of match questions, it gives a really effective way to match on your interests, and not looks alone. Unfortunately, not all users look at these questions and just swipe left/right on looks. Unfortunately for me, after paying for premium app features for 3 months, I noticed I wasn't getting any local matches anymore. Most "likes" came from India and the Philippines. I contacted support MULTIPLE times and kept getting canned responses that everything was normal and that they "can confirm that your account is on, active, and your messages are going through successfully" Notice how it didn't mention a word about my issue if not having any local matches available? Just to confirm I'm not an idiot, I was able to change my location to several other cities and observed totally normal behavior there. So the issue was with where I actually live. Again, NO help from OKC support. A final note: I see that almost every profile says "I can't see likes" this is because apparently most people don't see value in paying for features in a half broken app. OKC won't be getting another penny from me. I encourage anyone attempting to use this app to avoid any paid features.Show lessT3RC
Passport (Pen Pal) Feature is a Scam
Those 99+ likes that you have—which OkCupid incessantly hounds you to purchase a Premium subscription for—are mostly from people who live thousands of miles away on different continents. What is the point of that? People aren’t on OkCupid to find pen pals—we want people who live nearby so that we can meet in-person and build a meaningful relationship.
It seems that the Passport feature only exists to fool people into believing that they have a lot of likes from nearby users so they’ll pay for a Premium subscription to see who they are. Don’t expect OkCupid to remove it any time soon because it’s likely working as intended—to increase revenues without doing anything to help those of us looking for someone in the local area. (In fact, by removing the search feature years ago, OkCupid effectively became just another gimmicky dating app, albeit with the ability to create an extensive, detailed profile.) Stop liking people you find in the Passport section because it’s only exacerbating the problem. Better yet, just ignore the Passport section altogether—don’t even open it to look. If enough of us do that, maybe they’ll realize that it’s something we don’t want or use and it will be removed.Show lessObstreperosity
BEWARE!!
This dating platform is one of the worst. I joined Okcupid back in August of 2021, at a time when I wasn’t too familiar with the online dating world. Four months later, I can confidently say this app is terrible. I am a straight male in the United States, and specifically put my settings that way. All you get are likes from women from different countries. When I changed my preferred distance to 10 miles instead, I kept getting women who claim to be nearby, but then say in their bio that they “changed their location to meet new people.” That goes against OkCupids guidelines, and they don’t seem to care enough to do anything about it. In addition, there are more fake/bot accounts on this app then actual people! I have screenshots of at least 100 obvious fake accounts, trying to get you to add their Snapchat, for “nudes.” More recently, I came across a glitch where Okcupid would only show me men, and would only show my account to men as well. No matter how many times I picked “women” on my preference list, it kept switching back to men. I have screen recording of that issue as well. If you’re looking for a long-distance relationship, or to grant a woman citizenship, this app is for you. If you do give this app a shot, DO NOT PAY FOR IT!!Show lessWombo lombo
A joke - DON’T BUY IF IN NEW ZEALAND
Great concept but any dating app requires users. I paid NZ$150 for a three months premium assuming (a) heaps of users in a city of two million (Auckland) (b) That a company who can’t offer an adequate service either wouldn’t offer it, would make it clear their service is fledgling or would price accordingly.
Unfortunately these leeches have a business model in Auckland NZ at least that relies on people assuming they’re dealing with a reputable company, paying, then being refused a refund. Their reasoning for refusal - they blamed Apple 😆

Married for almost 3 years!
I have used many dating apps, none of them has turned into a marriage. I haven’t been back to this app in more than 4 years, but whenever people ask me where I met my husband, I was proud to recommend them OkCupid. I can’t imagine how people are dating now with Covid going on. But dating is a hard and brutal game. You gotta know yourself before anything else. I can't believe what a team we are and how we worked out, considering we were born in the opposite side of the globe, grew up in completely different culture and with 9 years of age difference. We had 91% compatibility on OkCupid. Our life goals align, but we are so different in many ways which make things interesting. We can talk to each other about anything, yet laughing at each other as some of the things we do are so “foreign” to each other, but then we realize that we indeed want the same thing, just have a different process. In today’s day and age, it’s so easy to get distracted. While we hold some principles tightly to our hearts, we also need to be patient and give people a chance to express themselves, and most importantly, listen and try to find that common ground. You never know who’ll surprise you and sweep you off your feet. Happy dating everyone. May we all find our soulmates.Show lessgrcc34762169
Meh
I’ve used most dating apps and all in all they all seem to be “a work in progress” and OkCupid is no different but this is the one I keep coming back to. There’s many things these apps can do to really revolutionise online dating but they all refuse to do so, the price constantly goes up with little to no changes to the app itself. They are still riddled with fake profiles, not even a slight attempt on profile verification like really OkCupid? That’s the most basic thing we can ask for, why will I part with my money to see all my matches are fake profiles? Not to mention people can lie about where they are from, you have a section of the app for users to find other users from around the world so why am I matching with people who claim to be from my location but are actually half a world away? Can we please stop this and keep it in that section of the app? The price is also a little ridiculous especially with the issues I’ve states plus more. Please show you actually care about your users and are not just a cash grabShow lessAllEyesOnMeNow
Worse than Tinder
I can’t believe how much this has changed for the worse. Tinder owns this app and has made it into a worse version of itself. I wouldn’t be surprised if the app lies to you about how many people are close to you, just like Tinder. Don’t bother wasting your timeCaptainDylanY
Something not too nice happened
I got hacked twice. Whoever I was changed my profile and added new photos. I was getting email notifications on their matches. I think that this app is good but the problem is that you can get hacked easily but overall it seems like a good app. I do not want this to happen again so I deleted the app. Thank you!Show lessdjdfhdhfhfbddufjfuruehfg
