Loosid Sober Dating App User Reviews

Reviews Summary

Top reviews

Don’t bother downloading.

First time I’ve used a “Sober dating” app. Figured I’d give it a shot as the usual response from other apps when meeting someone is “Let’s grab a drink”.

App is not designed well at all. You have to choose which picture you want to upload in what order for example because you can’t modify which pic you want to be your primary one. In either case, even if you navigate that part of it well, you’ll quickly find that it’s filled with bots and, you’ll have a very limited amount of people within your target area. I went through about 20 or 30 profiles before it jumped and started matching me with people on the opposite side of the country.

Read more of the one star reviews and you’ll see a trend with app use and bots. Save your money with this one and try something else.

Very bad

As a member of the sober community, I was excited about this app. Unfortunately, it is all bots, scammers, even escorts. Not worth your time. Which is a shame because we need something like this to actually be available. Much better to stick with a dark g all and mention you are sober I in your profile. At least THEY police their members effectively so bots or scammers are kicked out much more. I’m sure the app designers would say that they DO in fact police these type of profiles, and I’m sure they do, but they fail to do so effectively or strictly and as a result, roughly somewhere between 30-50% of the pages/people are not legitimate. Hopefully they get better; I’ll try again at some point down the road. But not soending more time on it in its current form.

Buggy, doesn’t respect parameters

Not much of a dating app guy myself, but I tried this one, since I found the idea appealing (I’ve been now sober for three months): unfortunately I deleted my profile and uninstalled it, as there’s a few things that are extremely annoying.

Pictures: I changed my first profile picture, however when I click on my profile it still shows me the old one. That’s not good.

Parameters: I hate when I establish age and location parameters, and after a bit they “expand my search”. There’s a reason I set up certain parameters, if I run out of people under those just stop showing me people at all, I don’t care about anyone who lives super far from me or is too young or old for me.

Likes: if someone likes you on the app, you can see their blurred photo and name in the “likes” section. Seems like the only way to come across such profiles is to pay for a premium subscription, because surely they won’t pop up in the basic version’s search.

I understand that as every other developer you guys need to make money, but such mechanics will only drive people away.

Completely unusable, nobody using app

Don’t release an app and put tons of ads out pushing people to download it before it’s finished. It is so buggy that I can’t get anything to load most of the time. The UI is about 10% of the usability of bigger apps like bumble and hinge, which already have options to only match with sober people. It’s also riddled with options to pay to upgrade, even though nobody is using the app. I have about 5 people in my immediate area (under 15 miles or so) and then every other person is hundreds of miles away. Every person I’ve matched with has been a bot account because there’s no verification process. Don’t believe the fake positive reviews on here.

Love the concept!

UI is completely unusable, buggy, glitchy. Nobody is on the app either, there were maybe 5 in my area and the rest were hundreds of miles away because nobody is using the app. Constantly pushing to pay for upgrades even though it is a mess of an app. Will change to 5 stars if can’t come even remotely close to the usability of something like bumble or hinge.

Doesn’t work

I matched with someone and sent them a message, then the next day the match is gone and she’s hidden behind a paywall in my likes section. Today I looked and she disappeared from there too. This app is a nice idea but it literally doesn’t work. Maybe it would if I paid but considering my experience with the free version, I’ll pass.

Bug fixes

Next bug fixes should be for freezing. This app freezes when I’m in the matches and go back to a profile. Or to anything for that matter. I have to close the app and reopen just to send a message. If this continues, I can understand why people delete this app.

Free version does absolutely nothing

They advertise being able to see and communicate with people that have liked you and being able to bookmark profiles and see your matches. I downloaded the app and I can do absolutely nothing in the free version, but see profiles. I can’t see my matches, people that I liked me and I can’t communicate with anyone. I get it if they don’t wanna offer a free version but just don’t false advertise… be truthful. Or fix your app to be congruent with your. advertising. So far it’s been a waste of my valuable time.

Not always sober because of problems

Biggest flaw is it seems to be centered around “recovery” making assumption that all people who do not drink are sober from having a drinking problem.
For those of us who just do not drink as a personal preference, very annoying to be constantly booted into that category.

Response from developer

We want to assure you that our app is designed to be inclusive and welcoming to everyone, regardless of their reasons for not drinking. We understand your concern and are actively working on ways to better accommodate all our users, including those who choose not to drink as a personal preference.

Not enough people, not a quality app, non-starter

Every time I open this app I always see the same ten people I passed on, and then maybe new people but hundreds of miles away. I actually got one “like” throughout using the app but they want $45 a month to reveal that. It’s not worth it especially if I don’t even know if that is a real person.

Response from developer

We are sorry to hear that your experience was not what you expected. Our system is designed to gradually increase the mileage range each time it does not find people who meet your Dating preferences but each time a new user joins near you will be shown to you first. Due to our focus on the sobriety niche, we don’t have as many users as other well-established apps. However, we’re working hard to increase our user base so that everyone can connect on this sober journey.
