Leave a Review OkCupid Dating
Used to be 5 Stars until Intros were removed
It used to be that you could go through swiping right or left and then send an intro (an introductory message) to people you liked. As non-premium members couldn’t see who had liked them many people preferred this. Premium members also loved this feature as it allowed them to message someone they liked right away and have that person know that they wanted to chat instead of being just a random swipe.
The intros have been removed and now the only way to message someone who hasn’t already liked you is to send a super like which you have to pay for even if you’re a premium member.
Money grubbing at the expense of the users. This app is just another typical “free” dating app now. One that has next to no benefits of being a premium member and is frustrating for non-premiums to use.Show lessgazza1993
Previous fan, increasingly disappointed
All okcupid cares about is money nowadays. They don't care about their customers at all.
Complaints:
1) the green "online" dot shows up next to somebody's name when they are presumably online. What OKC fails to tell anyone is that this dot remains illuminated 30 minutes after you've signed out. Just think of all the potential issues and miscommunication that could and does cause! I guarantee you this has caused countless budding romances to have turbulence. It's like who in their right mind would want the online dot to work that way? Oh, a company that wants to make it appear there are more active users in order to essentially make more money, that's who. What is truly upsetting is that you know they had a meeting to discuss this change in site function, and they decided to say essentially, "screw the users, hello more dollars."
2) The way they push politics on their site functioning is a bit heavy handed at times. Would rather politics simply be more neutral.
3) Over the years they have continued to erode the value of their premium service by separating out the features and charging separately for them. Then they've also jacked the cost of those separate features the last year or two. Thanks for that OKC, much appreciated!!!Show lessemptying mimd
Lots of ideas
So I was hoping you’d bring back where you can select the type of questions you want to answer because I want to match with asexuals only
Maybe every month give us a discount because who can really afford to pay $30 a month I know I can’t
Or once a month you can see your matches for free so that way you can actually match with them properly in case your person is there and you will never knowShow lessbstgbmkgxdsdbn
App seems rigged and a scam.
I joined for 3 months and I didn’t get one response message from one person. I had on average maybe 5 likes per month but most I wasn’t interested in. Of course, the day after my premium subscription expired I all of a sudden had 15 women like the same profile I had when I was a premium member. So we’re these women hiding for the last 3 months. No of course not OK Cupid is rigged like a casino slot machine to make you pay to see users that really don’t exist or are part of their spam marketing. I should write a letter to the FTC they got in trouble about this same practice years ago.Show lessHollywood_007
Disappointing but ok
The main crux of this is to intelligently match by answering questions. At a minimum 145>500. These are rated in importance to you personally. This is a good way of doing it, however my matches are mostly in London despite setting a distance limit. And from the photos a lot are clearly professionally taken photos. There are some more regular pics that you expect to see on a dating sight though.
Overall this is ok, but is limited by how many swipes left or right you can do each day which occurs on several similar sites, plus it is costly to see who’s liked you. If your willing to pay for greater functionality you may not notice much difference as there has been negative comments about members being genuine.
However I do recommend it if only to try it if your happy spending tens of minutes answering questions.Show lessStroppytigar72
Numbers are against you
So here’s the thing, I don’t mind the recent change they made where your likes are limited. If anything, it discourages casual swiping a la Tinder. The central problem right now is this: it is numerically near impossible to come across the people that like you.
I subscribed to the basic plan (I had pocket change so don’t pity me too hard), I tried to swipe through somewhat conservatively to see if I could get to one or two of the people who had liked me. But 100 profiles later, no dice at all. I did not come across a single one of my 13 likes. This is a fundamental problem in the algorithm if you cannot come across any people who want to see you. I get that this app needs to pay the bills, but short of paying for premium you straight up will NEVER match with anyone because the numbers and the algorithm aren’t in your favor at all.
Devs, you gotta throw us a bone here. You need to weight the Recommended tab so that it at least SLIGHTLY prioritizes the people who have liked your profile. Because as it stands right now, you aren’t meeting people on this app, you’re throwing your individual grain of sand onto the beach and hoping that by some intangible chance someone interested in you will find it.Show lessmwolsen
Loved it
Was talking to a friend about the dating app she uses and totally forgot I never wrote a review on this. I used this app and many others. On this site I found my true love. He’s the one person I see myself with for life and I’ve been with him 8+ years thanks to this app. I loved all the features in the free version and am very grateful that my husband was on here at the same time. Give it a go!Show lessBeckb1234
Rubbish Dating app
This used to be good a couple years back. But now you have to pay for every basic feature and you are spammed with homosexual profiles and no straight ones. Which is extremely frustrating. Don’t waste your time with this useless dating app!Hunkyducky1
What a Joke
Is the most boring App without any facility for new and I am pretty sure old customers!!
Is all about paying of course and will start to be the Magic. In 20 messages I have been sent to girls NONE!!!...answering. But is all about SOME ONE LIKES YOU!... yea whatever there it is that you are not able to see just one miserable like from anyone! And instead feels something when I do receive notification emails I end it up turning off the notifications and following with DELETE ACCOUNT 4EVER!!!
So no chances at all guys look for something else
Oh and didn’t even deserve 1 star so 0 stars. Oh wow I can’t even sent this review without a rate... lol well without been agreed I have to put 1 starShow lessTMATO82
Terrible experience
So paid for a 3 month subscription and then got banned 2 months into it. I sent an email to ask why and all they did was say i was banned for violating terms of service. But they didn't say how that applied to me.
Id never sent anything abusive or derogatory to anyone.
The lady who replied to me called Lynn had pronouns so i think Ive done something to trigger their socialist ideologies lol
Crazy thing is they can do this even when you're a paying customer without an explanation.
Terrible site and terrible customer service
Apart from this the site is overly expensive and has loads of fake accounts.
One of the worst ive ever used.Show lessclockworkjet
