What about Israel, and maybe other Jewish Comminities ?
A year ago, I called in to ask, “What about Israel?”
There is a disconnect between declaring the mile radius, and city of the user’s origin, and that we are all Jewish, and through identity alone, migrate to and from Israel. I was told that there is a whole ‘nother JDate app, for looking for a partner in Israel. While my spoken Hebrew, is communicative, I wasn’t sure, that my Hebrew reading skills, would give me a real take on the members’ profiles, on the Israel version.
The first day of opening the app, with the initial 200 mile radius, even so, there appeared several members from Israel. While there, on a vacation, I actually went out two evenings with one. Over the entire month in Israel, it was not possible to adjust the parameters correctly, to meet any mmembers there at all, probably due to lack of translation services. On returning home, no other Israeli members have ever appeared.
The Authors, should allow for at least two, geographic regions, if not more, because we, as a people, are disbursed over this globe, not always by choice. Hebrew profiles, should be translated, noting that they were. This stage needs a good quality translation, to help establish interest. The back and forth communication, can be handled by the translator apps out there. ARShow lessSaxoguy53

From what I’ve seen so far there isn’t a huge selection. Also I was told that there are social events where you can go meet people in person but I can’t find anything about that. If you are serious looking, I would try another site.Danielli802
Virtually obsolete
Hate to say it, but this app is useless. People are swiping these days... for
FREE. As a result, there are a minimal amount of people to choose from, and the ones who are on there can’t message you back because they’re not paying. That being said, the service is WAY overpriced and generally ineffective.Show lessobjective9128

New format which only covers small location sucks I’m getting off at end of monthoutdooraria
Too many glitches
Every time I open the app, various features fail to load. Profile pics, streams of content. the UI is also confusing. And why do I randomly get a notification when a user views my profile when dozens of others have also done so?
I like that Jdate gives you everyone’s profiles at once, but the endless scroll screws things up and it gets glitchy.
I’ve been using this app nearly 2 weeks and only had one mutual like...I’d bet money it’s a function of the app failing to communicate how people can use it best.
I spent $40 for a month of use...so far it’s a total waste. I’ve only had a couple conversations that haven’t gone anywhere, and I believe it’s because the app’s design doesn’t lend itself to cultivating real connections.Show lessLaffyjaffe31
Not usable any longer
I used the previous version for years but deactivated after the update in the last 6 months. The app (and site that was also updated) is simply no longer functional. I simply ask to know who was most recently online under online (as it was in the past). Yet after listing maybe 5 to 10 profiles, it loads profiles for people from months or weeks ago rather than hours. Now keep in mind this is New York so it isn't because there aren't any available people. For online dating this is not usable if I'm searching people who haven't been on for weeks. I will not be signing up again until this is resolved.Show lessFlymm

I think this site is a waste of time.
Not many people use it and I’m not interested in men who live overseas. This wasn’t specified.Helenfrancis1
JDate stealing my money
JDate is terrible, does nothing to ensure the users you are reaching out to are legitimate users on the site with accounts that can even read your sent messages. Thus causing only the same few people to appear online. Now the app makes me update but won’t update my app in my phone and allow me back into my account with an error message saying my CC info is incorrect...BUT it’s the same CC that JDate has charged me for the last year and a half. JDate is a scam, the free dating apps offer much better choices...Show lessJGood58
Wasn’t Just The App That Was Updated
The site was, too. And, not for the better. You can no longer see if there was email traffic between u & another user in the past. All of your lists disappeared—Faves, Blocked, etc.
And someone thought it’d be a good idea to take the Search option away. Instead, JDate gets to decide for you who should be in your dating pool. This alone is infantilizing and, for many, renders the site mostly pointless.
I’ve been trying to figure out who thought “less” options for users to have, on a (fairly expensive) paid site, was a good idea.Show lessJN10022
Not User Friendly
This site needs work. It should not strive to be like the swiping apps- people who pay for JDate want something more substantial. I suggest reverting back closer to the older interface and visuals. I think singles are craving something much more than what the apps provide and Jdate is not satisfying that need. The first page that appears is confusing and has too many options. My very smart friends (with PhDs, JDs, etc) all complain that they barely know how to use the site. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED- the Jewish dating world needs JDate to function optimally! Ultimately- I think JDate needs to stop trying to look like Happn or the other swiping apps and go back to substantive profiles. It should differentiate itself because the apps barely work and a stronger JDate could propose a viable alternative- I also think this change will motivate people to pay for this site since the apps are not satisfying people’s needs for relationships. People would be willing to pay for this, since the apps yield flimsy results. I highly recommend considering reverting back closer to the old model.Show lessFrustratedOnJDate
