Leave a Review happn
Happn is now the worst dating app of all!
Happn used to be pretty good because there were real people on here and you could meet them. Now it’s overrun with bots and scammers. The likelihood of matching with a real person here has become low. And Happn keeps asking me if it’s OK to track me everywhere. Yeah, right. It’s a complete waste of time to use this app now. I contacted support about this, and they pretend not to know anything about this problem, making claims that they work very hard to keep fake accounts off. While some other dating apps have figured out a way to keep the bots in check, the approach Happn has taken is to let them take over. Immediately after writing this review, I’m deleting the app. Update: I tried again in 2024 and it’s just as bad as when I wrote this original.Show lessMindbender222

They don’t let you erase your profile after !!
All the policies are in French, when you try to write to the so called Custimer service the button doesn’t work. They collect your data and then when you try to leave the app and delete de profile there’s NO WHERE DELETE IT!! You can only log out but it does not delete your photos and profile. I had to replace each of my photos for something stupid, then erase all what I had written and then just leave it like that. SHOCKING!! imagine all the fake profiles or abandoned profiles that exist there!! They deserve a minus one star.Show lesschilozy

Hello! We are sorry that you are having a bad experience with our app. We can help with any issue you may have if you contact us at support@happn.com.Unable to block profiles
Each profile has the option to block & delete.
I deleted a profile from the page of who liked me. This profile appeared again the next day and blocked it not to see him again. His profile however appeared again and again and again after every time I select block and delete. I wrote a feedback about seven times and the profile is still on my page of people who like me. It’s obviously a fake profile which the people who manage this app push forward. I have a membership and after this experience I won’t renew again. The app is poorly managed and some profiles are not genuine.Show lessAzafata357

I've given this App 4 stars instead of 5, simply because of its Technical issues from what I've read , also from what I've experienced. As an App it's quite a unique one in its approach as there is nothing really similar out there, and it's great fun to check up while you're out and about to see who's popped up on your phone during your day to day travels. On NYE while I was out the app popped up 40 women in the space of 15 mins!😳 I find it more fun than serial swiping through ‘Troublesome Tinder’ and it is more real-time based. I think it's an App we've all thought about but never expected to see. If the technical aspects of the app are tweaked then I'm sure it will make the app more appealing. Overall I like it!😁
* Update 2023* have noticed since re-downloading the new Happn it’s not as active on seeking other Happn-ers like it used to be so I’m finding it a little hard to justify the apps pricing unless there is a new data protection law I don’t know about.
Then it kind of defeats the whole purpose of the app then doesn’t it ??? 🤷🏽♂️Show lessKnightCrusader
Crappy at best, fraud maybe
These guys froze my expensive yearly paid in advance account due to inactivity (I didn’t like to allow it GPS all the time, only when I wanted) apparently they don’t like it that they can’t sell your geo data so they froze the account for bogus reason.
There is no “restore purchase” like any decent paid app has, so I had to contact support back and forth for them to be kind enough to reinstate my paid in advance account. I have up and will consider this a n00b loss.
Clowns that should be banned from App Store. do not buy this.
On a side note, you will get most matches from Philippines and India while you 2000 miles away. Complete rubbish.Show lessTom David123456

Hello! We are sorry that you are having a bad experience with our app. We can help with any issue you may have if you contact us on support@happn.com.Do not use this app!
This app is creepy and should be banned/removed. It’s perfect for stalkers and fake people. I had an experience with someone who showed up after months of talking/catfishing and she was entirely psychotic. If you’re a woman, DO NOT USE. I know live in fear of my own personal safety in my neighborhood, because with happn, it shows exactly where you are and how close you come to other users. As soon as this app gets a bad review, they respond, unlike when you do it in the app.Show lessmiles312534

You have to pay to show up for others (called boosts) people can like you and still not show up at all in your feed. (Sure pay to see who but also allow the natural matching otherwise there’s no point to in likes. so there’s also no point liking people because they also can’t see you unless you pay for super likes oh and the expensive premium option doesn’t actually fix that it just asks you to buy add on packs to get noticed. This app is a basically a scam trying to extract as much money as possible. I’ve had the paid subscriptions and boosts etc. non of it works- then the moment you let the payment lapse suddenly you get a like. Better chances of winning the lottery than finding a match with this app.Show lessFoosky

Hello! Please note that our app can be used without a subscription as only some features are Premium. Like profiles, get a Crush and you will be able to talk with happners for free!Impossible to use
I gave this app every opportunity, because I love the idea so much. I just moved to NY and I am constantly seeing really cute girls on the subway or just walking around town, but I don’t want to interrupt people’s days or freak them out by going up randomly and flirting with them. Happn is a brilliant idea with an unbelievably terrible execution. When I say I gave this app every chance, I mean I deleted it and redownloaded it at least four times just trying to get through the signup process. I think the devs have just given up on it tbh. This app needs to be thrown away and rebuilt from the bottom up. I can’t even delete my account now (which I finally got set up) because every page on the app just appears blank. Tried to delete the app and redownload it again to get it to work but just ran into more bugs. I guess my happn account will just exist forever more in cyberspace, it’s honestly so bad that I feel like apple should kick this application off the App Store.Show lessSk8terstar888

When typing a message can't see anything below five lines (can continue typing but won't see what's been typed until you send). Please fix 💙 otherwise a decent dating app, not as popular as some other free ones but at least it's totally usable without buying the premium unlike some many other apps. And I generally like the new update. My pictures are still not displayed as I crop them while uploading so I end up headless in most of my pix. A little frustrating but oh wellShow lessMonzieMom
