Beware of this app!
Beware of this app! It is primarily a scam which is ripping people off. I bought a 7-day spotlight in this app for $7, which means that my profile gets highlighted for 7 days after I turn on the “spotlight” option. However, after I made the purchase and spent my money, I tried to turn on the “spotlight” option, and the app wouldn’t let me turn it on! Instead, the app prompted me to PAY AGAIN for what I had JUST PAID FOR a few minutes prior! I then tapped on the “Restore Purchases” button, but the app told me that there were no purchases to restore. I then waited several hours because I thought that maybe it takes some time for my purchase to go through. I waited several hours until I received the receipt from Apple, and then I tried again. Same exact problem. I was unable to turn on the spotlight option, and I was unable to “restore purchases” because it told me that there were no purchases to be restored. I tried to send an email to the support team via the app, but their email support function doesn’t work. I also tried the in-app chat which didn’t work either.Show lessscotty321
Too many fake profiles
Been on the site for nearly a week and probably 90% if the smiles I’ve received a total of about 25 or so look like fake profiles. More specifically, I don’t think the photos are the person that has written the profiles. The photos in almost all of the ones I received smiles from are really badly grainy and look like they’ve been used over and over. I used this dating site many many years ago and it was so much better. Or maybe it’s just a certain age with these bogus profiles over 50, IDK. And the few men that I’ve communicated with don’t write or sound like they are the person in the photo. I’ll probably stay on for the full month but I won’t renew. There should be a way to vet members to make sure the person is the same as their photo. It’s unfortunate.Show lessPepper7007
Not efficient or effective
I would say one of the biggest pet peeve‘s with using this app for over a year would be Christian Mingel doesn’t provide adequate web hosting meaning the website loads incredibly slow user interface is good but things are just really clunky and it’s hard to use whether you’re using it on your personal computer or on the app. Ensure patience is a virtue but when you’re paying for this service and it’s almost like loading issues or a problem every single time you use either your computer or your phone that’s kind of a joke in terms of ease-of-use and functionality plus at the same time in terms of matches most people have profiles that are just sitting there and they haven’t checked on them for six months I wouldn’t recommend this app to anybody.Show lesspClark16
Worst Dating App Ever
Christian Mingle is a scam. This app is so buggy it’s unbelievable. The worst part is there are guys who are way outside of my preferences (divorced, single dads, incompatible denominations, way too old, ethnicities I didn’t click on) EVERYWHERE. In fact, this app acts like no one exists in my preferences when I’ve sporadically seen them. Why include the option for discovery preferences if the app and website completely ignores ALL of them? How we can search and browse for only those who meet our preferences? At least one tab should be everyone who fits all of our preferences, even if there are none. The results should be blank and refer to the other tabs that don’t fit our preferences. Furthermore, smiles are more annoying than anything. Is there a way to filter these out to only show real messages? Such a waste of money on this app.
What’s even worse is NO ONE is active on this app, and I’m convinced everyone is actually a bot or a fake profile because of how dead this app is. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Don’t even bother downloading this app.Show less♪♫♪♫♪♫♪
Truly horrific
I’ve been trying to correspond customer service for five months to cancel my auto renewal. There is no telephone customer support and the email support is an automated loop. The app is not set up to be able to manage subscription so when you download it and open an account it automatically auto renews every month or every six months and there’s no way to turn it off.
There’s also no option in the Apple account settings to turn off auto renew there’s no customer support to address this issue and there’s no telephone support through the app publisher to manage an account.
I have exchanged more than 10 emails with an artificial intelligence response automation system and now they say that the customer call center has been completely closed. do not download this app. do not pay for subscription or you will be charged in perpetuity.Show lessKateinOregon
(Clearly) Needs Improvement
Like everyone else, I believe the prices are far too high for what you get. But you almost literally cannot use the app without paying. Even if you do pay, the majority of the profiles say things like “Last active a month ago.” No one is active because no one will pay because no one is active because no one will pay and so on and so forth. Give incentives to stay active. Something like you get a certain number of messages you can send a day. This encourages people to stay active because it allows them to actually use the app. You can keep everything else pay-for, just let us message at least a bit without spending $50+.
And do it quick — meaning within a week or two — because I found a wonderful woman who matched with and liked me, but isn’t active because of the above reasons. I paid $50 to message this woman specifically, so you better earn it.Show less(LoneSurvivor)
Clunky malfunctioning forced matches.
This app is really awful. The UI looks simplistic and yet it hangs when transitioning from one page to the next. There seem to be a lot of fake profiles and catfishers but that has gotten better. You can exclude every race except black. I’m sorry I know what I want in a future family. Forcing those matches on me isn’t going to change my mind, it just adds to the unusability overall of this app. When I tried to start a help ticket, that function was broken as well. You’d think for the money they charge, you’d get a little better quality but you’d be wrong. You have to pay for the subscription to read messages or do anything and of course, you are prohibited from posting the pictures you want. That part of the app works perfectly. I’ve never gotten a date out of this app.Show lessI am Alex
Disappointed
I’m not disappointed because of the dating scene. I do have an issue that the app doesn’t suggest to me, the ethnicity of the people I select in my preferences. I have the ethnicity preferences set and it still shows me exactly what is not in my preference. Same with age, I have my age range set and old men still end up in my messages. I don’t like that it doesn’t just give me results of my preferences, and just wastes my time by suggesting everything but what I specified in my search preferences. Why ask for specifics if they aren’t going to use them to tailor our experience? That’s why I won’t pay for the app, it’s poorly done.
Secondly, the app is glitchy and when men send me messages it looks like t$&#%his. Literally looks like that weird. I’ve gotten tons of messages now with super glitchy messages that I can’t read.
Lastly, the app is very slow. Like beyond slow. It seems like it’s overloaded or something. I don’t know if it is overloaded but it feels like an update is needed. When I tried to contact them through the app, it said the message couldn’t send, so maybe it was just down.
I’ll still use the app for a little while longer but I don’t think I’ll be active after the next few days.Show lesshaymimay
Very Money Driven
I’ve tried a few dating apps over the years. This is by far the worst. Unless you are willing to pay for premium which is $50 a month or pay for several months ($100+), the app is basically useless. You can look at profiles and send likes or winks but that’s it. No messages, no even seeing any pictures but the first one they have. Other apps I’ve tried have upgrades to elite or premium but they’re far more affordable and the app is still pretty functional even without paying, you just generally can’t see who likes you. This app feels very money driven with no interest in actually helping you meet someone. The fact that pictures and the About Me section has to be approved before it can be viewed feels unnecessary and very overprotective. Additionally the layout of it is clunky and not particularly user friendly or easy to navigate. And did I mention it’s slow? I’ve had it take several minutes to load which is just not worth it. I would recommend checking out other dating apps and steer clear of this one. There are more affordable, more interactive, and more easily used ones out there.Show lessMlowery3
This site is a total scam
This site is totally full of scammers. No real people. It’s disappointing. And it’s absolutely impossible to delete your profile. Even on the actual website. To stop the auto renew, you have to go to your financial institution directly to get them to stop taking payment. Their phone number has an automatic message that says the call center is down. This message has been there for the 3 months I attempted the site. They don’t answer e-mails, and their messaging system just asks for your phone number and won’t talk to you at after, and they never call you. Once I joined this site, my junk email box exploded with junk. I went from getting about 10 junk emails a day to several hundred immediately upon joining. I got tired of fake people that immediately wanted my phone number and email or they wouldn’t talk to me. About 50 people contacted me during 2 1/2 months, and with one exception, they were all scammers. The one real person was an absolute weirdo. Please save yourself a headache and don’t join this site.Show lessReal female
