Leave a Review happn
It used ti be a good app.
I used this app couple years ago. It seems like the new updates have changed what it used to be.
Now it’s not only expensive, but I think there are less people using for what it used to be.
I don’t recommend it.
-Expensive
-Ads all the time popping
-No many people using the app
-The app asks over and over to go premium$
-Pictures are not displayed in full
-You cannot delate the message the app sends you to like their Facebook page
-You have the “hellos” right in the middle so you waste the only 3 you have, so you BUY more
-ufff! I can go on and on forever.
I suggest Badoo.Show lessLuis Gomez B
No People on this app!
I work downtown a major city in Texas and live a few miles north. I’m around a highly populated area of the city constantly, but the app only found a few people I could match with. There simply was not a lot of people using this app. Other dating app have clearly taken the bigger share of people in the city. The interface was also full of ads wanting you to go premium including some in your messages that you could not delete. The interface is not simple or visually appealing. Overall not a great experience and a waste of time to set up a profile just to run out of people to ‘like’ in a couple of days. If you live in a big city and run out of people to like in two days, it’s because nobody likes the app. Plus I’m sure girls find the premise to be a little creepy since it shows you a map of where the other person was.Show lessSteve..4785

Hello Steve, we are sorry you did not have a good experience on our app. However, I would like to make it clear that users should not find the app creepy since the indications on the Map are vague and are not displayed in real time. See you soon on happn, Bruno from happn.It’s pointless
You may think ‘this is a great idea’ but it doesn’t notify you when you go past each other, giving you some sort of dramatic moment where you look up and meet eyes, none of that happens, it just tells you 15 minutes later that you went past each other and you never meet. If you’re good at the dating app game, nothing changes, but if you’re bad at it like myself, you just get stuck with notifications of girls that go past you every now and then, and they don’t get notified of you anymore because they swiped you left, honestly, it hurts more than the other apps, because it rubs it in that no one can ever me.Show lessSmeecko

Hello Smeecko, for safety reasons, happn is not allowed to notify users in real time, otherwise, this could lead to uncomfortable scenarios. Your time will come, keep persevering and the Crushes will come your way! We are pretty sure there is at least one Crush for each user on happn. To increase your chances of getting Crushes, make sure you add a description to your profile and frequently update your pictures. See you soon on happn!

Hello Laly, it is available in your country/city! Let us know if you can't get it to work by contacting our Customer Service. See you soon on happn! Bruno from happnNew interface a serious downgrade
The app was an enjoyable diversion until its major redesign. It used to allow you to scan up and down a visual list of the most recent people you’d crossed paths with, and perhaps _eventually_ choose to attempt to contact someone you kept crossing paths with. This was unique! Now it railroads you into making pass/fail decisions in a rigid linear order, based on a first-time impression—the same stupid limitation that other dating sites gravitate to. In short, it got control-freaky and binary. Hey, we don’t all LIKE Tinder. Why imitate them? It’s no fun anymore. Major fail.Show lessPaleophone

I used this very briefly, found more creepy men near my home. A few people are using models profiles when you say hey your so close to a coffee shop lets meet you learn this is not the same person. Made plans for walking companion only to find a thin skinned violent much older fart. Man threatened to punch after being honest I was NOT attracted. If you like guys in town for a day hook up great! Decrepit Old men who look busted in person, than look no further this app is for you! - For what you get... nearby stalkers the app isn’t cheap if you can make sure you delete it several times. No stars if possible. Women this will put you in harms way.Show lessbobofogaortari
Eh
This app is based on a good idea, but in execution it used to be mediocre and with recent changes it’s much worse. Any dating app that’s serious about making quality connections should offer filters, like a woman choosing to only see men taller than her in her feed, and so on. There aren’t any features like this, and now you can’t even see all of the people you’ve crossed paths with unless you swipe left or right on the last one near you. If I walked by someone this morning and someone in the afternoon but don’t log in until the evening, I won’t get to see the morning one unless I swipe on the afternoon one first, which encourages half-hearted decisions, unintentional matches, etc. It means you have to waste a lot of time on this app to see who you’ve crossed paths with. What’s worse is the Crushtime game, which is still suggesting women from half way across the country that I crossed paths with a year ago or more. It shows you thumbnails of 4 people at a time and you guess which one liked you by clicking them, but that auto likes their profile, so by guessing you might get matched with someone you’re not interested in, who isn’t anywhere near your area.Show lessThe_blue_shoe

Hello The_blue_shoe, have you checked out our Map yet? It is the little globe that is at the bottom of the main interface. It allows you to see all the people you have crossed paths with according to each crossing location. Given your feedback, I think this feature should meet your expectations. See you soon on happn!

A few years ago, this app was the beginning of the most powerful relationship I ever had with another human being in my life. It was never a particularly good app from a UI/UX perspective, but the basic concept was pretty neat.
Recently, I re-downloaded it and found I cannot navigate more than a few screens before being nagged to buy premium. It's too much. If clicked no the first time, I'm not going to click buy the second or third time you ask me in a span of 3 minutes. Ask me again tomorrow or when I try to do something that might require a premium feature. Don't spam me in your own app, it's beyond ridiculous.Show lessnickm_50
A good app, ruined by "improvements"
The user feedback on here is near unanimous: we HATE the fact that you can no longer scroll through the people you've crossed paths with, and decide whether to like, send a hello, or mull it over. For paid subscribers, with limited hellos per day, this was a key part of using the app. The devs response on here has been "trust us, this way is better", which is pretty ironic, since one year ago their CEO and others were all touting this as a key difference between Happn and Tinder. There was a brief (24 hr) roll back last weekend where the app had the old timeline response, which further reinforced how awful the new experience is. If people want to like or no-thanks on every profile, they can. Why ruin it for those who don't?
From last year's article on Happn:
You have the option to neither like nor reject people. So you can check out a profile, do nothing, and then move on to another profile. The profile you checked out will appear on your timeline again the next time you cross paths with the person behind it.
It might not sound like much, but that’s a key differentiator between Tinder and Happn. And it’s a difference that Happn’s execs are extremely keen to highlight.
“On Tinder, as you’re obliged to say yes or no [to every profile], you trigger a lot of wrong matches,” Didier Rappaport, the co-founder and CEO of Happn, tells Trusted Reviews.Show lessSlowtea
Developer Response
Hello Slowtea, first of all, we are sorry to hear that you were disappointed by our new interface. However, please believe that even though we have had a few complaints, we have had really good results with this new way of introducing profiles. Even if you cannot scroll through the profiles like you used to, you can recreate this experience by going to the Map (see the globe icon at the bottom of your home page) which organises the profiles you have crossed paths with by crossing location. Therefore, with our Map, one can say that we have fulfilled our promise: you can still scroll freely through all the profiles you have crossed paths with. See you soon on happn!

This app has largely taught me that people seem reluctant to meet people who may live near them, at least in Los Angeles. Too much accountability involved when the person you hoped to ghost is likely to show up in line for coffee maybe? Both amusing and a disappointing testament to how people treat one another in large anonymous urban environments.
Regardless, the two stars is not due to that, it’s because the format of the app seems to change almost daily. I understand the developers are trying to devise a format that pressures people into purchasing subscriptions, but it’s too much change to get used to, and the real solution might be to lower the price of a subscription to something reasonable. $10 a month is probably reasonable, but not as a yearly lump sum of $120.Show lessjeffitz
