Can’t login, can’t reach support
I like the idea of the app and I’ve used it off and on for a little while now. But starting this morning I can’t login anymore for some reason. I try signing in with my Apple ID like usual but it just spins me around and puts me back on the login screen. No error messages. Tried recovering my account in case something happened, but never received an email (yeah, I checked the junk mail). Tried leaving a message with support via their website but the message repeatedly refused to send. You could say I’m a little annoyed at this point.Show lessjmwsw
This app is a Scam now
This was once a good app, I met a few cuties on here, but now they show mostly fake profiles so you don’t run out of people in your area, and there’s no way to turn that off. There are so many scammers and bots on here. Their subscription is bizarrely overpriced compared to other apps, and the women on this app don’t swipe, they just wait for paid “FlashNotes”. And they will show you like 4 people, 1 ugly and 3 hot, and have you guess which one likes you. The hot ones are always wrong guesses, and if you guess correctly it sends the ugly one a match saying you like them and you have to unmatch. I was meeting lots of women on this app until it stopped showing you people you HAD crossed paths with and started just showing you anyone within like a 20 mile radius whom you MIGHT cross paths with. I’m 14 miles outside of NYC so the app went from great to garbage with that update. There’s no setting to change it. Total shame, waste of a good concept to make such a pathetic and transparent cash grab.Show lessI_am_David
Waste of time and money - don’t join if you’re gay
Don’t waste your time with this app. Looks really good in its layout originally but then you join (for a hefty fee) and there is hardly anyone on here.
Then they send you straight matches when you’re gay. Im a lesbian and they have been showing my profile to guys and women describing they’re ideal man. No idea why the app is matching them with me??
I contacted customer service and they made an excuse that the men are selecting wrong option, which they only adjust if the guy contacts them directly. This app just doesn’t work well.Show lessAnaya55
Disappointed / App is dysfunctional
I liked the idea but this app does not function well. Firstly was overwhelmed by the amount of likes and messages pouring in from randoms, then realised it was matching me with hundreds of people in my suburb when I had not even left my house! Every hoon driving by my house on the highway could see my profile. It also accessed my stored location history to match me with people I walked past in locations I haven’t been to in months - places I was at long before I ever download the app, which is both irrelevant and creepy. Either that or the location feature is totally inaccurate. So no matter where you go it will match you with everyone, not just people you walk past in close proximity but any traffic in the area as well. I liked the feature on other dating apps where your preferences worked both ways and your profile would only be shown to the type of people you are interested in too (age etc). Also there is a time stamp of how long ago you crossed paths so if it is late at night someone can work out they probably passed your house and now know the area you live in. Doesn’t feel safe or secure. I do not recommend. Also doesn’t tell you when you play the “crush game” of guess who likes you that if you guess right, whether you are attracted to that person or not, it will automatically send them a like from your profile and allow them to start a conversation without your permission. Badly communicated. Not impressed.Show lessCapricorn gal

Hello Capricorn Gal, rest assured, happn does not access location information on your app that was there before you downloaded the app. Furthermore, location is never revealed accurately and in real time, so it is not possible for other users to find your whereabouts. This has never happened so far. As far as crossings are concerned, unfortunately, we cannot do anything about people passing your house or driving by it... But who knows, some of those people might be your future Crushes! See you soon on happn, Bruno from happn.Blocking location = lots of spammers
This app allows people to hide their location where people crossed paths so all I have been getting is spammers claiming to be deployed overseas!! This app has so many spammers and creepers that do not actually live in my home country! This is a complete lie to the entire concept of what this app is actually suppose to do, which is find and meet people that live near by you!! What a scam of an app this is! Is it even legal to charge people for an app that allows fake people out of the country to create profiles on an app that is based on actual live cross connections??Show lessHop along with your friend
LIVID!
So there was a profile I had pop up in my suggestions or what ever you call it. I IMMEDIATELY pressed the x to decline (thinking it takes that “option” out of my cycle of women to choose from forever). Few days later I receive a like or crush whatever it’s called. I spend a few hours trying to see if there’s a way around it from forcing to me purchase an upgrade to view this mysterious person. I leave it alone for a few days and return to see it remembering that there was no way to see who it could be. So I cave in and spent $25 to find out it was the very same person I just declined who is not even of the orientation I desire. Where’s the filter? Why should I have to pay to view someone who likes me for me to be mad or let down? To those who read this I have a very distinct look about me rugged, slightly well groomed, very masculine...you wouldn’t think I liked anything other than a woman with ovaries and a uterus.
How do I get my refund?Show lessPHUKWAV
Developer Response
Hey Phukwav, we’re sorry our app didn’t meet your expectations... Firstly, the fact that there are profiles that do not meet your criteria on your home page is usually due to the fact that some people do not select the correct gender when filling out their profile info... As far as the “Like list” is concerned, the message saying that people have Liked your profile is part of a recap that is sent every 24 hours of everything that happened with your profile during that time. It is therefore possible that you already interacted with that profile when you get notified about your Like list. I hope this cleared up your doubts. See you soon on happn, Bruno from happn.I love this app for the entertainment it brings
Not sure what’s up with all the bad reviews - perhaps people don’t exactly understand its purpose. I have been a paying customer for several years and I just love to look at all the “nuru massage” ads, hit the person up on Instagram, correct their spelling, troll and report them. For roughly 12 bucks a month (spread across yearly subscription) you get endless entertainment as new profiles show up on your list every couple of hours. Happn, you might wanna reconsider your fake “matching” algorithm. C’mon - if I swiped through everyone at 10pm, you really think there will be 5 more matches by 7am on a Sunday morning?
Yes - I am a paying customer. No - none of what I said above is untrue. Yes - I do absolutely give it 5 stars for entertainment value. No - you won’t meet your soulmate here. Yes - you might get a fwb if you pay for subscription and are very patient and careful. No - this app, as advertised, does not deliver and thus - 1 star. No - I’m not trolling; this is an honest review.Show lesshfa4real
Met my wife on Hapn
I met my wife 4 years ago on Hapn and I just thought to leave a review. It’s as close to walking up to a stranger as you can get with online dating and my life is better for it. I truly enjoyed the butterflies in my stomach when we met and how I hadn’t already read 300 personal answers about her (okCupid). I highly recommend this app!Show lessMikehuggs
Cool concept/ nice matches/ need more details
This app has brought me more interesting matches in two days than any other app. I love that I know these people are in my vacinity. However, descriptions are so vague. Do they have kids? Do they want kids? There are other levels of cooking, what’s their occupation? I think more could go into the profiles to capture who they are.Show lessmissyt123!!
Another disappointing money grab ap.
I thought this would be a cool twist to the otherwise mundane dating aps. I was wrong.
Unless your a paying customer ( which isn’t cheap) the features of this ap are useless.
It shows people you supposedly crossed paths with and you can “like” them, but that’s it. Only paying customers can chat. And the map feature that’s supposed to show where you have been and supposedly crossed paths with others, never populated. Just a blank map showing my location.
I reached out to several people I had crossed paths with and never received a single response. It’s possible the paid version offers more and is worthwhile, but I wasn’t interested in spending money to find out.Show less7sup
