Ark is sinking.
Really disappointed with the direction Ark is going. I just finished paying for six months of Premium, so this isn’t coming from someone who just expects everything to be free.
One of the things I always liked about Ark was that if someone had already liked you and they came up in your normal stack, you could actually see that they liked you. That was honestly one of the best things Ark had going for it and helped separate it from every other dating app.
It didn’t play on that fear that you might accidentally swipe past someone who was interested in you. Now, not only does Ark seem to have taken that feature away from free users, but if you swipe past someone who liked you, it makes sure to tell you afterward—and reminds you that Premium would have prevented it.
Come on. That’s the exact kind of dating-app tactic I appreciated Ark NOT using.
Dating is already hard enough. Men and women already seem more disconnected from each other than ever, and dating apps have an opportunity to actually make connecting easier. Instead, so many of them seem determined to squeeze money out of every possible moment of uncertainty, rejection, or missed connection. At some point it just feels greedy and selfish. You’re not helping people connect when you intentionally put more obstacles between two people who might actually like each other just so you can sell the solution.
I understand Premium needs to have benefits. I literally just paid for six months of it. But there’s a difference between adding worthwhile Premium features and taking away something that made the free experience genuinely good.
Ark used to feel different. Unfortunately, it’s starting to feel like every other dating app.

you let me communicate
i like the time up front to see if i like this! well done. i will give you 5 if you offer me a month with TOP TIER ACCESS!!! No one does this and you will get a HUGE following WHEN women and men find out they actually found TRUE LOVE. So many scammers on this kind of site. Exploring to SEE and DISCERN you are a PURE & REAL site. Not just “christian” in name. Understand right?! Thank you for listening to anyone giving Constructive Ideas!!! We are wary and weary out here for years of SINGLE life. Ready to find a REAL woman of God that wants to partner for life and have children with me! 🍷✨🌲🦁🐑⚡️❤️🔥🍇❤️🔥⬆️

This app is not for Biblical Christians but Mormon friendly. I don’t trust them
This app claims to be for Christians, yet 'Latter-day Saints' (Mormons) is listed as a Christian denomination in the search filters when they are not. LDS theology adds texts to the Bible like the Book of Mormon and teaches doctrines which are not in the Bible (e.g. Jesus and Satan are brothers, etc). In fact, Christians consider Joseph Smith as a false prophet (he openly practiced polygamy which contradicts Bible and Jesus teaching). If this app is genuinely committed to serving biblical Christians, 'Latter-day Saints' must be removed from the denomination list immediately. As a Christian, I would never date a mormon. Do not be deceived!

The best App
This is by far the best
Good
Its really good to use it
Not worth the money
Doesn’t match you with anyone that meets your criteria. Doesn’t screen men to ensure they are authentic.
Great!!
Not a bad app
I wish that the app would vet
I met someone here turns out they are a felon and they tried to steal from me using my cashapp.I've reported his profile many times and he's still on the app and matching with people.Paying for a subscription is pointless
Found my soulmate!
I personally loved the app. It was very easy to use and narrow down my preferences.
I actually met my husband on here last year and we were married 7 months later! We have been married for 6 months and are currently expecting our first child.

Waste of time, no one is active like it misleads you
Conservative Christian Women
It’s nice to use an app that actually has women who go to church and bury the Bible and practice Christianity. So many other Christian apps have women on their who do not practice Christianity.
Same nonsense, different app
I think this app has the potential to excel, but the user base has to change drastically in order for it to do so. The same men that are worried about things that do not align with the mission and values of this app are present and more prevalent than those that align with the mission and values. I really like the concept of speed dating, and being able to see shared values and traits in a unique layout. My primary issue with this app is the quality of men is deplorable. Some look to be fresh out of prison, while other others make inappropriate comments on their profile alone, and some have names that are not their real names nor an alignment w/ Christ.

He lives so close to me too I mean not really but not too far can be done in less than a days time. I think I found my husband.

Not worth it.
Fake profiles. Odd conversations. Low quality matches. Chat blocks you from sending info. Slow. Waste of money. I wish I could get my money back.
Love it

Good Quality
Many good bible believing people
Great app
