This app is not worth the space on your phone. I (F) have TWO solid referrals, great standing in the community, and have waited over a YEAR with no approval or denial. Reaching out to support has not helped. I get the same “we will let you know” answer every time. I was really hoping this would be the app to change my mind about dating apps. ### 1/5 — Just taking up space *2026-07-21* The latest update says most applications are reviewed in about three days. I have been waiting over three months, and that’s with a referral from a member, something that’s supposed to expedite the process. Would love to review the function of the app, but all I can say right now is that it’s taking up space on my phone. ### 1/5 — Fake as hell *2026-07-15, version 33* My wife and I tried to join. After several days. No response to let us join. Other sites don’t mess around and just verify you. This site never will. ### 2/5 — Good for local events + nothing else *2026-07-14* There are local chats you can join for IRL plans/events which is really amazing, hence the 2 stars. One star otherwise; the dating side is garbage. You get 3 matches per day and about 95% of them are repeats of matches you’ve already said no to. $20 per month just to click on profiles and no other real benefit. ### 1/5 — Not a great experience *2026-06-26, version 32* I expected open minded people who understand this life. But came across people who are pretending to handle this life as a fad than an actual lifestyle. ### 5/5 — Finally a Dating App that Builds Community *2026-06-15* ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been on more dating apps than I care to admit, and Beyond feels like the first one that genuinely understands that connection isn’t just about swiping. It’s about building a community. In just two weeks, I’ve had five dates that have either already happened or are planned, and every single interaction has felt more intentional than what I’ve experienced elsewhere. The people here seem genuinely interested in getting to know each other, whether that’s romantically, platonically, or somewhere in between. One of the smartest features is the three matches a day model. Instead of endless scrolling and decision fatigue, you’re encouraged to actually engage with the people you’re introduced to. It creates quality over quantity, and surprisingly, that works. You become more thoughtful with your conversations, and people tend to show up with more authenticity. What has truly set Beyond apart, though, are the IRL Boards. They create opportunities for real human connection outside of the traditional dating framework. A perfect example is Luna, who had recently moved to a neighboring city and posted that she was simply looking to make new friends and build connections. I reached out. She responded. Next thing you know, we’re grabbing lunch. Now she’s joining our group for a weekend away. That’s not something I ever expected to happen through a dating app, and yet here we are. Beyond has created an environment where people can expand their social circles, find meaningful relationships, and rediscover the joy of meeting others of like mind organically. The app feels intentional, welcoming, and refreshingly human. Hats off to the founders. You’ve built more than a dating app. You’ve built a community, and in a world that often feels disconnected, that’s something pretty special. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ### 1/5 — Just taking up space *2026-06-08* The latest update says most applications are reviewed in about three days. I have been waiting over three months, and that’s with a referral from a member, something that’s supposed to expedite the process. Would love to review the function of the app, but all I can say right now is that it’s taking up space on my phone. ### 2/5 — Most applications are reviewed in 8 business years *2026-06-03, version 30* I swear this thing is like a credit score - the more you check in on your review process the worse it is. Please let me out of your beyond jail I’m begging you ### 2/5 — Just not enough users *2026-06-03* This app is well designed, i just wish i had more than 3 people to tap through (seriously, there’s only three people on my end). it had a good foundation, it just needs to get a bigger user base. ### 1/5 — Horrible job venting men on this app *2026-05-28, version 30* I was literally match with a guy that has DV charge that made headlines on this app. Dealing with him in the just DMs alone I could see why he was the issue. I go and google and I can not believe they let this person on this app. I immediately deleted the app ## Frequently asked questions about Beyond ### What is Beyond: Modern Dating App?
