They moved the dislike button and the dislike button. Now I keep hitting the dislike by accident so that we can pay for a backtrack. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-07-01, version 9.3.2* Very good ### 2/5 — Spammy notifications *2026-03-07, version 9.1* Reminders to constantly open the app even when I have everything turned off. Literally uninstalled it for this reason ### 3/5 — Notifications are lies *2026-03-01, version 9.1* It’ll send a notification saying “omar liked your profile” then you open the app, and no one named Omar liked your profile. ### 3/5 — Location is needed miles/km isn’t enough *2026-01-04, version 8.31* Everyone asks me about where I live. I think location needs to be visible to users. Although I think inactive matches should be deleted so that people have a motivation to connect faster ### 2/5 — Buggy *2025-11-06, version 8.31* It’s buggy and unstable and the premium versions are way too expensive for the benefits. The quality and quantity of users is not there yet. ### 3/5 — Ok *2025-10-30* I haven’t made any matches or gone on any dates so that’s been disappointing should be inclusive of whites and other races ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-09-16, version 8.30* Customer service never responds back. Tried to create an account multiple times but my profile isn’t visible to anyone even though the setting is on active and it’s not set on incognito either. Emailed them and they never respond. ### 1/5 — Feels like I got shadow banned *2025-08-05, version 8.27* At first I thought maybe I wasn’t attractive enough for this app. But now I realize something’s off. I got a bunch of likes when I first joined, then suddenly nothing. In the last month only 3 people viewed my profile. I pay for a subscription that feels completely useless. If I’m shadow banned or deprioritized, at least be transparent. Right now it just feels like a scam. ### 1/5 — Can’t see matches *2025-07-28* Imagine carefully swiping to the people you really like and then when you actually match you can’t even access to see your matches or even swipe anymore for endless days.. fix the app 😩 ### 1/5 — Nothing *2025-07-17, version 8.25* Already a week and no matches ### 1/5 — Trash app *2025-07-13* Trash app where support doesn’t even respond yet they allow predators to make profiles ### 1/5 — Trash app *2025-06-24, version 8.24* Terrible UX/UI. This app was made my stevie wonder and hellen keller. You guys are the Temu of dating apps. Buggy, glitchy, bad prompts, overall terrible. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rigged App Incredibly frustrating experience – active profiles are not shown and support ghosted me *2026-07-17* Rigged App!! I used this app diligently during my trial period, swiping actively and leaving thoughtful comments. Previously, my profile would regularly get a few views a week, but as soon as I started using the app heavily, my profile views dropped to absolute zero for weeks. It feels like the system deliberately buried my profile simply because I was being active. To make matters worse, their customer support is nonexistent. I reported this issue to them and they completely failed to get back to me within their promised 48-hour policy window. I reached out a second time after a week, and it has now been two full weeks with zero response. Absolute radio silence and a horrible experience altogether. ### 1/5 — Recent updates ruined it *2026-07-03, version 9.3.2* It used to be a decent app but the app design is worse now and performance is so sluggish even on my new iPhone 17 pro! ### 1/5 — Worst timing *2026-06-14, version 9.2* App keeps crashing. It’s been like this for hours now. Ery upsetting considering the fact that you are actually trying to have a conversation with a match. So frustrating, not renewing my subscription. ### 1/5 — Trashiest app *2026-03-23* The concept was there in the beginning but Baklava became like Tinder & Hinge but the Arab version of it. Quality of users are beyond trash and not intentional. How the algorithm highlights men on the eligible section is absolute garbage cuz they are far from it. That definitely needs to be worked on! The app does not take reporting profiles seriously at all! The app should have the option to create a profile for besties separately than relationships. There s a glitch there for sure! Also the subscriptions are super expensive! The Gold subscription doesn’t really work and the new update/view of the app is very confusing for the likes received. I don’t think it shows the other profiles that you liked so you don’t get a match and stay on the app subscribed longer. Please improve! It was good in the beginning but not anymore. ### 1/5 — Fake accounts *2026-02-03, version 9.0.3* Lots of fake accounts on there. And what’s actually bothering is the price of the subscription is insanely expensive!! ### 1/5 — Shadow ban *2026-01-14, version 8.31* If you're a man on this app, good luck, you'll get reported for "harassment" then banned, and if you contact their support, they will not hear your case, instead will say decision is final ### 1/5 — BECAREFUL !!!!! *2025-11-23, version 8.31* Be mindful of the Arab men on this app. Some of them will try to scare you off and shame you. I had a creep basically threaten to turn my pics into AI & turn me into a OF model only bc I rejected him because we didn't share the same beliefs. I had to file a police report on him because he's extremely weird. This ruined my experience & I deleted my acc as a whole. I know it's not the company's fault because I didn't report it atomically but I wish I did. I'm just saying becareful over all. Arab woman you know how crazy some Arab men can be. The myths are true. I loved the app other than that horrible experience. ### 1/5 — Cant log to baklava *2025-10-30, version 8.31* I can not log in to my account. It stays on the same page when I click the app. this is so annoying. Help me! ### 1/5 — Shadow ban *2025-10-28, version 8.31* Don't have clue what's going on, but I get shadow banned ### 1/5 — Doesn’t remove your account *2025-09-28, version 8.30* Doesn’t remove your account when u delete the app. People can still see it unless you delete the account explicitly. Most of the profiles are dead ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Decent App *2026-07-22* I’ve tried a few apps, but Baklava feels different — in the best way. It’s not just another dating app; it truly understands Arab culture, values, and the little things that make us who we are. The profiles feel genuine, the vibe is warm and respectful, and I actually enjoy spending time on it. ### 5/5 — Dating aplications *2026-07-01* Interface is really nice and the app work great , there is plenty of nice feature that i havent tryed yet on this application ! baklava is a 5 star aplication ! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-12-22* I had a really great experience overall.everything was well organizedand the quality exceeded my expectation **Developer response:** Hi Karalina, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.

Baklava Team ### 5/5 — Good not great *2025-10-27* I am a Lebanese American guy. I enjoy the Baklava app. I love that it shows women from different Arab/Mideastern countries, and allies. Couple improvements would be to show where the women are located next to their careers (not just how many miles away), if they have kids/pets or not. Just more details about them. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great App, small improvements needed *2025-10-20* This App is great and much needed… I wish the profiles were sorted based on distance, closer to furthest away. Also, wish that the distance was displayed on the front page next to the name, similar to age. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-06-28* Better than any dating app, I just wished there were more people nearby. ### 5/5 — Good app very amzing *2025-05-27* Good ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER *2025-05-18* I met my wife through baklava 🫶🫶🫶 ### 5/5 — Baklava *2025-05-18* The CEO of this app is freaking gorgeous , set me up pls guys --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
