Poor Product Experience and Questionable Product Decisions
After using the app for 2–3 weeks, I’m genuinely disappointed with the overall experience. From a product perspective, it feels like the core user journey hasn’t been thought through properly.
The free experience offers very little meaningful feedback or progress, making it difficult to understand whether the product is actually working. After liking someone, you’re often left waiting with no clear status or closure. If the other person isn’t interested, the experience provides no meaningful way to move forward. This creates unnecessary uncertainty rather than a compelling reason to keep coming back.
Premium features should enhance an already valuable experience, not compensate for a frustrating free one. Before pushing users toward a subscription, the product needs to establish trust, demonstrate value, and give users a genuine reason to return.
The app also feels overloaded with generic AI-generated content, while the fundamentals of dating product design seem overlooked. Concepts like feedback loops, user motivation, retention, and well-designed FOMO mechanics need to be implemented thoughtfully—not simply replaced with premium paywalls.
My recommendation: Go back to the fundamentals. Define the core user problem, map the end-to-end user journey, identify friction points, and validate whether the current experience delivers real value before scaling monetization.
A dating app should help people build meaningful connections, not leave them endlessly waiting and wondering whether anything is happening.
Right now, the product feels more focused on monetization than user outcomes. There’s significant room for improvement.

Very bad app
Don't trust them.
After taking their subscriptions all matches has gone automatically.
Also they are not responsive enough.
They reply so late.
Such a bad experience.

Hi Badhon, thanks for flagging this, and sorry for the slow reply. Matches disappearing after subscribing is not how it should work. Please DM us on Instagram at @hiauntyapp with your account email so we can check your account directly and sort this out.
Downloaded bc i saw a lot of ads on ig
Your app has issues, the AI you’re using hallucinates, the UX is not good because it was very difficult for me to set up on my phone. The thing is, it felt like i was using a webapp ported into a mobile app, these two are different.
Only reason you’re getting a 4 star is because of how the app works and how you’ve planned to make it work otherwise it’s really hard to get into and the ai writes a lot of slop.
