No matches for 3 months straight

Wrote a review after I’d been on it for about a month, writing this now that I’ve been on the app longer. It took me about a month to get my first match. I have just crossed three whole months of using the app daily with literally zero matches. (Using as a male seeking female by the way.) On other apps I get a handful of matches per week, so I’m not sure why this one is so lacking. I have spent a very small amount of cash buying “beans” for the flower (superlike) but not very much, and have set my distance to 100 miles, because anything smaller and I’d only get one or two recommended profiles a day. There do appear to be quality profiles in the “discover” section (that being about the only reason I’m not rating one star), but really no way to interact with them without spending money. Wholly dissatisfied with this experience and would definitely recommend other apps over this one.

Most Cat fishing and scamming!

I paid for this app over Hinge, and so far I have been matched with three (five as of Oct 22) fake profiles. That’s the most fake profiles I have ever found on any single dating website/app! It’s incredible, but I’m super disappointed that I actually paid for this experience. what I will say is that I usually play along with the scammers, for quite a while, because it’s entertaining. Even after I get the email from CMB telling me that they’ve been reported. I like to see how far they will take it. But it’s disappointing that I’m actually having to pay for this type of entertainment. I wish I would’ve paid for Hinge instead. I don’t pay for that app and I’ve met a couple of cool people there just know chemistry. Not sure what you have to do, CMB, but you need to work on getting rid of the scammers. maybe more verification via photos or something. IDK. But I’m super disappointed that I chose this app to pay for over Hinge. Especially since this app posts it’s for serious daters. As a sidenote, there are very minimal profiles worth matching with. Somehow, the ones that are suggested or recommended to me are people I would never date, and are completely outside of my filters/preferences. I’m not sure that the app is actually doing the work it should be doing. I am convinced the app was made for and buy scammers.

All my likes are bots

I regret paying for this subscription. 95% of my “likes” are fake accounts.

Scammers & Bad Matching Algorithm

I have used the app for almost three weeks and have found, matched with, or received a report of no less than 8 scammers or fake profiles. Some of them lacked such creativity that the bad actor used the same name, same occupation, and sent me the same first email word for word. They DID go to the trouble of finding different pictures for each profile.

Like some others I think the matching algorithm is working backwards. The men recommended to me do NOT fit the “must have” criteria that incentivized me to pay for 3 months. The men who “like” me should have never seen my profile. Instead of weeding out men who are not my type - they tick every box of the criteria I said was a hard pass.

The app itself is not bad from a UI perspective- that is what deserved the 2 stars.

it could be better

its skewed towards paying for the app. very frustrating.

Terrible dating app

EVERYTHING is behind a paywall! Don’t even bother

Don’t fall for it

I usually don’t write reviews unless i feel a strong positive or negative opinion. Like most of these apps it’s trying to get your money and thats it. Doesn’t matter if you’re attractive, you have to be attractive in the algorithms eyes, which are the 1% dudes or close to it, and paying for it only means they ask you to pay more, and I’m just waiting for the subscription period to end at this point. Just talk to woman you come across and build your confidence instead of losing whatever self-esteem you had with these apps, taking rejection to the face is far better than not knowing. I get compliments enough outside the app to know that I’m not hideous, but these apps affect your confidence more than anything.

Horrible dating app

I’ve never written a review for an app my whole life, but this one deserves all the hate. I dont know why it’s rated so highly. You literally have to pay to see who has liked you. They only give you like 5 suggested people at 12 pm everyday and usually only one of those five is a person that liked you. Sitting here with 17 people who liked me and I can’t look at any of them. So many potential matches but no way to see them unless I pay money. Love should cost money, stop being so money hungry.

Update: kind of funny after submitting this review, I’m no longer getting any people that have liked me in my suggested everyday at 12 pm. Hmmmm, kind of weird huh? No I'm not submitting a support request CMB, what is that going to do for me? You wouldn’t change it still lol, just allow us to see the people who liked us!

Feels like a scam

First off, the app is slow compared to all other apps. Even pressing the pass or like button doesn’t always work the first time. Sometimes you have to press a few times which after you’ve gone through several profiles, it gets annoying. Second, there’s no real way of knowing if s profile is fake. There are no verified users. If you pay, you can see how often an account responds to their matches which at least gives you some indication. Third, you can send someone a flower from search, but when you refresh, it no longer shows that flower on that same profile, leaving you to wonder whether they ever received it or B, at minimum, makes you spend more money sending another flower to potentially the same profile later on. Almost all matches I have gotten have been removed from having been flagged as spam. I do know a couple people that got married from this app so that’s why I gave it a chance but it’s no linger up to par with the Bumble or even Hinge.
