Leave a Review Plenty of Fish Dating App
My opinion of POF
I have been on Pof off and on for approximately 6-7 years. I would delete because I got tired of the scammers and the grown men playing games. Then after about a a year or so after being tired of being alone and lonely, I would try it again only to find out that there are way more scammers and players. Guys wanting fwb, a mistress, a fling, just a sexual relationship but on their profiles they all say that they live close by and that they are looking for a serious relationship. I have learned that the ones that put engineers for their profession and put widowed and speak in broken English then i automatically know that they are scammers ,
However, I have met a few nice men on here. We didn’t have that chemistry but we
Became friends . Overall, if their was just a way to block these credit cards from other countries it would save a lot of innocent women from being scammed out of tons of money, actually meeting these men and getting raped and seriously hurt and abused and destroying their entire lives . I understand that y’all are just interested in making the money but it is also about safety and protecting your clients .

Bots and scammers everywhere!
Use a Google phone number and don’t put info in your profile. Be very aware of scammers on this app. So many you can’t even count them. POF continues to do next to nothing to prevent them, so be very careful. I would give it more stars, but the only people messaging me are scammers trying to get info and move you to another chat to try and do shady stuff. Make sure you stay on the app and report them. POF should verify people with ID’s. This is getting out of control and really detracts from the app. Besides the scammers, POF doesn’t really allow you to adjust your settings when wanting to meet a certain type of woman. It really only pays attention to age. Additionally, it sends you annoying alerts about their live streamers. The live streamers aren’t there for dating, as most of them are there for attention and money. It’s pretty lame, actually, and really detracts from the whole idea. The games that you can play in the livestream don’t work and not much is geared toward dating in those regards. Also, expanding my search radius is annoying as I can’t really see who is actually where and how far away they are. It’s really a let down when they’re too far away.Show lessM@T€#U
So many fake profiles
I’ve came across soooo many men that are scammers like seriously this app need to be like badoo verify pictures because they have profiles pictures that not the men your actually talking to they also have all these military men that talks to you once after talk on here yea exchange number they start talking about buy gift cards because the can’t access they account like wth. I’ve bust so many wit fake profiles than they get mad with you because you found out they not the real person. Like seriously this app needs to get like badoo if you don’t have the right pictures up they’ll not accept those pictures no crop pictures no pictures from site that you can copy from anything like that’s the only way you’re going to get honest me on this app. It’s not good at all and that’s why a lot of women be single because of things like this when it supposed to be a dating app when actually it’s full of scammers.
I’m sure you received multiple reviews on this same problem this needs to be fix really because it’s not right at all. I’ve never experienced anything like this and I’ve never had a relationship from this app at all. Everybody is just for sex on her not serious at all.Show lessloyaltyis honest
Slow, clunky, unintuitive 👎🏼
This app is way too over complicated for what it’s trying to be. Instead of creating a simple app that works well and is optimized it for the core reason people I assume are using it for “to meet people and date them” you have a bunch of features that slow down the performance so the app ends up being super clunky and not delightful at all to interact with . Here’s a question if I’ve matched with someone and I want to message them why on earth do you block me from doing so by putting up a screen that says “ x person is looking for someone different, try messaging someone else” ??? And the only option is a button that says “OK” this is silly and laughable and very poor user experience. How did we match if they are not looking for my type???I mean I appreciate the tip and the heads up but for what reason do you think you can block me from messaging this person when we’ve already matched 🤯. Instead you have a live stream option which is pointless and misused and provides no apparent benefit toObjective of having this app on our phones if I want to watch a live stream there’s plenty of other apps out there that providethe opportunity. HUGE FAIL I really hope you get a new creative Director or CEO or someone who understands that you’ve totally missed the mark with the features and the performance of this appShow lesshonestttttogod
Blocked account for giving out phone number
I’ve been using POF for 5 years now. Recently I was asked out on a date so obviously I gave the person my number I notice after I sent him my number my account was blocked. So I made another account and gave out my number again and my account was blocked again. My thing is this POF if we are grown people talking to other grown people why are we getting our accounts blocked for giving out our number? Obviously we’re gonna ask each other to go out and that involves giving the other party your phone number. Also you guys are very discriminatory towards women, men can almost do whatever they want they can post whatever kind of picture they want and say whatever but as a woman if I do the same thing you guys will block my whole IP address and it’s not fair. you guys have been doing it for many many years..There’s man on the site that have profile pictures of animals,kids,Memes but women were not even allowed to upload a picture of us wearing a face mask. I stick to POF because it’s the only open face platform where I don’t have to always swipe just to talk to someone I wish you guys will fix the site and make it more fair between men and women and also stop treating us like 15-year-olds for giving out our number.Show lessShakeeyla
Dangerous app. Full of scammers/potential kidnappers. No quality control or verification at all.
This app is full of bot accounts and catfishers. They all immediately ask to move to Snapchat and then they try to lure you in with either a relationship (this is a dating app, after all) or a sugar daddy/baby type setup. They all inevitably fail to send a picture of themselves with a simple hand gesture, such as this one 👌, which is always a dead giveaway. They always send a picture of a girl with a different hand position and ask if it suffices and when it doesn’t they throw a fit. I’ve dealt with multiple of these scammers in the same day, let alone the same week. It’s no wonder I have literally 30x the number of likes on POF as I do on any other dating app. It’s because this app has no quality control or verification system at all, so the majority of accounts/likes are just bots and otherwise potentially dangerous people. For anyone reading this, avoid any account with numbers at the end of their name or any account that has little to no personal details. Basically, avoid any account that looks like there was no effort out in at all (eg. only one super compressed, low quality selfie across their whole profile, very simplistic personal details, etc…) or any account that messages you with grammar so poor that google translate would be jealous. Chances are good that they’re not even in your country, or even an actual woman.Show lessThetyfotseth
Worst Product Ever
I cannot say anything positive about the app and the service of POF. The idea that I can still ‘view’ possible matches of those who have blocked me is ridiculous. See who liked you, ok I click on them and am told you’ve been blocked by this person. Ok… there’s no way to clear this list that i could see, so all my ‘matches’ are either people who have blocked me or ones I am not interested in. I have my preferences set to what I am searching for, and constantly receive possible matches outside my preferences. The app will also refresh on its own- right in the middle of loading profiles to ‘meet’ people it will refresh and be blank. Then if I close the app and reopen, it’s loaded with people again. Super frustrating. And the spam, oh my god the spam/fake profiles are absolutely annoying. Even when I report a spam file, clearly spam as i receive messages with the typical: hello! Followed by: Are you there? I report it, and the they are still in my matches section. When I click on the profile thinking.. didnt I report this person? Surprise- you blocked this person, ok so delete the profile! I paid for two months but get so frustrated I don’t know if I will last that long. I want to stay because I paid for the upgrade and I want to see if anyone is out there for me, but this app is the worst ever in terms of a dating service. I would not recommend this to anyone.Show lessNurseboy19
Garbage
First of all, DOZENS of fake profiles, you'll get used to reporting and seeing the same ones over and over because they never ban anyone.
Second, the preferences do absolutely nothing. Looking for someone ages 18-24 within 75km? ( the LOWEST you can go) Here's a 36 year old with 3 kids 287 miles away!!! Yaaaaay!!!
Don't even get me started on distance, 75km is only 46 miles, NOT 250 MILES AWAY. SERIOUSLY?! Why even show me someone on the other side of the country when all of my preferences say I want absolutely nothing to do with them, and the best part is you don't even know what state they're in because it could be that city 30 miles away or the one with the same name 300 miles away, you'll never know until you start talking to them but 8/10 times it's gonna be the 300 mile away city.
I recommend using this app for a week and then deleting it if you already have it, by then you'll have matched or passed up everyone within 100 miles of your location and just be left with fake profiles and people 3-4 hours away. If you don't already have it, save yourself some time and find another app. Maybe if they put in even the tiniest amount of effort into letting you CHOOSE who you match with and where this app would be worth getting, but it's not.Show lessThisAppIsBeyondBroken
Use plus less= USELESS
Rather than spend you hard earned dollars on this USELESS app I would suggest going to the bank and getting $29 one dollar bills and taking them home to burn one-by-one. Or perhaps, wipe your but with and flush. At least you’re going to get some satisfaction from that. Since the USELESS upgrade costs more than that, you’ll be saving money…which will make you feel good about yourself. That is something that POF can’t provide to you. This app is like the little plastic thing that covers the end of a power cord on some new electrical devices that one buys…serves no purpose, aka: USELESS. You’re more likely to find your fish while hiking in the Sahara desert. “How could that be possible?” I’m happy you asked. It’s because POF is USELESS. At least there used to be fish in the desert. While I could go on, like you, I grow tired and weary of this hub bub. In closing I wish to add that this app is USELESS. >Use. Less than Use. It doesn’t have a practical use. There not a use case scenario where POF is possible.
Btw: it is rated with 4+ stars but almost every review is negative. Either the fish writing those positive reviews are confused about which app they are reviewing ( think: Dory) or they aren’t human fish. I have to give one star because I HAVE to give one star. 0 star is my ofishal rating. See what i did there?😜

New POF Pangs
I’m not sure if it’s just the area I live in. But the new pof, that is the free version, is HORRIBLE please beware of several different factors.
There are an astonishing amount of transsexuals and guys that slip through the cracks on this site. Even when you put preferences that would otherwise rule them out. I’m personally constantly harassed and they are constantly harassing me. They also pop up on matches and POF live streams, you are also not able to kick them from your stream without bouncers even when blocked which prompts me to no longer stream because of having to constantly restart the stream. Please do a better job at screening these individuals, not that I have anything against them personally, it’s just not my preference and it’s unfair to women that I may actually meet.
That’s my major qualm, aside from that a lot of users blatantly put P2P and stream to get money without looking to actual date, it’s not backpage (not hating on a hustle but it’s a dating app) I also receive a lot of hateful mail it seems like a lot of users in my area are cracked out or online everyday, it would be nice to see legitimately new users in my area. The no screenshot rule is annoying as well if you have pictures that are in screenshot format. Again I’m just speaking from the free version perspective it seems like there’s not much concern or effort being put into the free version. Please update the nearby, it’s gone from a good dating site to a cash grabShow lessmooka92
