  • Garbage app

    That app is just a garbage ….u should pay for any thing at every time ….it all about money
    79£ for nothing
    Notice : go out and spend your money in restaurant or coffee shop and u will meet someone …good luck for all
  • Good idea, greedy practices

    I think the app has a great premise, and works really well! It has some great feature like a map of your matches. However, if anybody likes you they WILL NOT show up in your feed. Pretty much the only way to make a match is to pay for premium and directly like those people back. It constantly tells me there are no more profiles to view, but I still haven’t even come across those that have liked me. Obvious what they’re trying to force you to do

  • Something broken

    I’m in the US and saw the app does not show the state where potential matches are. My closest big city is Boston, so if I’m shown matches there, all profiles just say Boston, United States, instead of Boston, MA. It’s the same thing with other small cities and towns, the state doesn’t show, which makes it hard to know if I’ll ever be in a location where I can cross with someone.

    Also, I live in an area with a good 155k in population, more if the surrounding cities/towns are included, but never cross with anyone. I often get shown matches 30-60+ miles away or possibly other countries, but not in my local area. It would be hard to believe that people in my area are not aware that this app exists. Is the app broken?

  • Don’t buy this app 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

    Worst dating app that I have ever used. It’s designed to trick you into believing that you have people interested in you and when you click on that button there’s nothing there. Looks like there is no one using the app or my profile settings aren’t good enough for people my age. It appears that it won’t work unless you have driven by them at some point. Waste of time and money. I’m glad I only spent $20 dollars on it. I won’t be using this app ever again.

  • I don’t understand

    I like the concept of this app, shortlist is cool, but I have weird problems with it that don’t make any sense. I’ve had a few likes for months and when I go to the first double arrow thing to show people to match with It will show me one or two people and then say no one is in site then the next day it will show a couple more people and then say no one in sight. It now shows I have 4 likes but it’s showing no one in sight.. why doesn’t it show the profiles of the people that liked me so we can potentially match? I’ve only ever matched with two people who were both scam Snapchat bots and I’ve been on this app for around 2 years with the same results. I know I’m not the best looking but on Badoo, Tinder, and other platforms I make matches and actually talk with people but on happn that never happens because it won’t show the profiles of people who like you??

  • Poor concept, terrible privacy + battery drain

    In the end it’s one more poorly executed dating app. And do you really need to limit your search to people you crossed paths with? I can tell you why the app is broken compared to other apps. Matches are based on the other person's location but not their activity. So I keep crossing paths and liking people but they may not open the app for another week or month. The app is just sitting in the background sending their location (GPS). Other apps highlight people actively using the app, but this app works off background usage. So in the end, you lose privacy (sending location), have battery drain and get very few matches compared to other apps that prioritize people actually online and seeking a match. my advice is to stick with apps that have a bigger user base and don't need your background location data
    2022 update: tried the app again for some reason. It’s gotten worse! The free version is so restricted you barely can swipe or match at all. They are tracking you, selling your location data AND trying to milk you dry? No thanks!

    Hello Simon, after one month of inactivity, the app stops generating crossings. Sending your position in the background does not drain your battery all that much and you do not lose privacy since we only use this data for the app. We would like to remind you that the initial purpose of this app is to help you find people you have crossed paths with in real life so it is our job to show you primarily those people. Then you also see people you have not crossed paths with but that live in your area, so it's not just about crossings. See you soon on happn! Bruno from happn
  • Not worth !

    I can say for sure that this is absolutely not a good dating site and it is not worth using.
    one of the reasons is that the support service is not qualified to do their job.
    They banned me for nothing !!!
    and when I contacted with the help, the answer was that the reason they blocked me was that I was advertising something 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have never advertised anything in my life on any dating sites and happn is one of the dating sites that banned me for no reason and did not help me with recover my account!
    we don't need a dating site where if you've been blocked by mistake, it's easier for them to write nonsense than to help restore your account!

  • Bot-hub

    It was a good app and suddenly became a bot-hub. How many matches can you get with almost identically storyline? 3,4, unlikely, but 40-50 and I am not exaggerating, now that’s impossible.
    When is the same storyline between a match and another, I could consider some coincidences as possible , but 50 matches in the same city with the same storylines and whats most strange, is not possible to see where we “crossed paths” right. Isn’t that the purpose of this app and if that is not, how come the only matches not showing a crossing point of reference are the bots.
    Anyways, app was good but no longer is.
    Disappointing

  • You Can’t delete your account all info is kept after deleting

    This app is horrible, I deactivated and deleted my account a half year ago, and after downloading back and registering, it was such a shock to see your account back with your pictures and matches and conversations!!! Also I’ve noticed that matches a year or so old, are shown here as a newly match!
    Be careful using this app once you put your details, pictures and everything else this company keeps it! It looks that they keep your profile even if you are not registered any longer with them, I assume to attract more users!
    I would not recommend using this app

    Hey Mr Darius, I think there was a misunderstanding: happn does not keep/use anyone’s data after they’ve deleted their account. That would go against GDPR regulations. There was probably an isse when you deleted your account. Can you please contact our Customer Service so we can look into it? Support@happn.com Speak to you soon, Bruno from happn.
  • Typical liberal hang out

    I couldn’t help but notice the woman who left a review complaining about how she can’t put in her “height requirements” for men in this app. Awwww, poor baby. Maybe stop “body shaming”. Typical liberals always doing EXACTLY what they claim to be against.
    Remember, libtards, you can do something about your WEIGHT, but NO ONE can do anything about their HEIGHT. And what man of 6’4” wants to be with a woman who’s eye level with a 10 yr old? Talk about “eeewwww!”.
    Prior to the Obama liberal era, it was few and far between that women (especially the “no discriminatory” liberal feminazis) made such a big deal about height. Bully, mock and body shame a little more, libtards. It’s what you do best.
    All dating apps nowadays should come with the disclaimer: “For liberal feminists and beta males only”.
