Birdy, Matchmaker 2.0 User Reviews

Top reviews

needs work

Good idea with matching people by personality type, but the app has issues. In the free version, you have to find people to like in the public chat rooms, and hope that they like you back, then you can chat with them privately. In recent months, my private chats are not loading. When tapping on someone’s profile, it doesn’t have a back button to go back. Every so often, the app deletes all the public chat rooms and starts them fresh. But i haven’t seen the new ones come up yet. It seems like the developers have given up on the app.

Boo is a better personality match app.

Unable to open even after updating/reinstalling

It’s a shame because I enjoyed using this app briefly for chat rooms. One day my friend and I encountered an error about “unable to connect”

We both uninstalled, reinstalled, checked our phones were up to date, even tried to make another account since we had friends there we wanted to keep in contact by kept getting an empty red box during the sign up process?

I can’t leave a good review if I can’t access it anymore….

Buggy

It crashes sometimes, sometimes it says there’s no connection, and… it’s too expensive for an app that doesn’t have the best of reviews.
I must say, though, that I’ve made some few friends through the app, but it’s still lacking many things.
Consider conducting UX research and listen to your users to improve the app.
The app gives me the feeling that something is missing. I open it and I don’t last 5 min when I already closed the app. Is a subscription worth it to me? Not really.
Either way, I’m thankful for the friends I’ve made through this app.

Doesn’t work.

I can’t look at my suggested matches profiles because the app just closes itself. The chirping is obnoxious. If the app can’t run it’s useless, saw another user say some time ago it was crashing…still is.
The suggestions are based off of a extremely limited profile that’s essentially MBTI stereotypes. Not worth the money they force you to pay to meet people. Thank your for wasting my time. Even had someone try to catfish…twice…on a personality type dating site.

Good Concept

It’s an interesting concept but the people on this app are strange. I’ll say what I’m looking for on my profile (a relationship) and I’ll get people messaging me saying they want to be friends or are married and it’s kinda weird and uncomfortable. A lot of people post their pics on their profile for everyone to see before they match despite that not seeing pics of each other first is a huge part of the app concept. Needs more work and probably user base moderation. I know it’s hard because the app currently has few users but I’m going to have to stop using the app till some of the issues are ironed out because being a gay man looking for a relationship getting matched with a straight man who is actively married is just a really depressing situation to be in and slowly discover while messaging someone you find attractive and funny and are excited you matched with just to slowly realize that. Then when he realized it he immediately unmatched with me without saying a word 💀

Hi, Thanks you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, this is how we improve the app day by day! :) Since your first feedback, Birdy actually improved A LOT and I would love for you to connect and let us know what you think of the progress? Thanks and best, Juliette (founder)

No One There and Can’t Delete Account

There aren’t enough people on this app and it won’t let me delete my account. At the delete account screen, I hit delete account -other-screen freezes. Should I be shocked by this…

So much potential but execution is poor

I’m really exited for the profession of this app but there are some things that are off putting.

1. Interface seems a bit too cluttered and manageable, but not as easy on the eyes like other dating apps such as Hinge or Tinder.

2. You can’t even see the people who liked you unless you make a purchase which doesn’t really make any sense. Should at least be given a limit on how many people you can match again like Hinge or Tinder.

There are some other things but those are the two main complaints I have

Keeps crashing

I haven’t been able to use the app in over a week because it crashes as soon as I try to open it. Ended up deleting the app off my phone.

Wouldn’t recommend at this point in time

In the beginning, this app held a lot of promise. But at this point in time, it doesn’t really seem worth the use. The location filtering still doesn’t completely work (still getting matches all over the country and in the neigbouring country), and the matching mechanic is locked behind a paywall. Early access members no longer have the premium accessibility that we were promised for life and if you don’t want to pay, your actual chances of matching are slim if at all possible.

Hi, Thanks you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, this is how we improve the app day by day! :) You do have a geographical and age now filters in Birdy, but when the app lacks inventory around you, it widens the filter automatically. We are going to give all the Early Birdys a Love Subscription very soon! Thanks and best, Juliette (founder)

Too many bugs

This app has a lot of bugs and not enough options available to message and connect with others, individually.

Constantly crashes

This has a lot of promise if it would stop crashing long enough for me to at least complete the quiz :/

Response from developer

Hi there, deleting and reinstalling the app usually stops the crashing. If not, please send an email with your phone model and the email address used to create your account to support@app-birdy.com and we will be able to help you more directly there.

Need improvements

It has potential.
Maybe it needs more marketing done, I never get any matches from people near me, it’s pointless. I wish I could filter location, age and types.
Also, it would be nice if you could contact the people you meet in the chat rooms for private conversations or be able to match with them.

Button Issues

I thought this would be a new interesting way to meet people but I only made it to the “Chirp Chirp , Let’s make a profile” part. I couldn’t continue because the buttons didn’t appear on my screen. Before getting to that part, the buttons were barely reachable because they appeared a the very bottom on my screen.

Note for developers: I currently have a Iphone7 with a standard size screen(not the pro version). I believe this app isn’t designed for standard screens. Also, I think signing up should send a token to your email to verify it. Good Luck! the concept is cool.

Beware

Every time I chose an answer in the personality test, the app accessed my Universal Clipboard. At the top of my phone screen Apple notified me “Birdie pasted from your MacBook Clipboard”. Which means without my permission the app is tracking things from my laptop’s clipboard. I WASN'T EVEN ON MY COMPUTER. This is the “handoff” feature & I strongly suggest you turn it off.

Has anyone gotten matches on this?

I've been on this app for only a few weeks, so maybe I'm just being impatient. But even with it having people in my area, I've not had any conversations from this. I really wish I could look back and see peol stories that I've liked in the past. Also I wish I could see if those people have already looked at my stories and passed me by or something. It just seems like it's taking up room on my phone and not actually doing anything.

Needs some work....

First off it’s a good idea, but as some one versed in the Myers Briggs I think the compatibility needs to be checked since my most compatible isn’t the personality I’m most compatible with, two there needs to be a way to put filters.....like I don’t really need or want a suggested match with someone 10 years younger than me or thousands of miles away

Interesting concept

Although I don't necessarily like the whole not showing your face deal... Yes, people should focus on personality but there are also physical traits that people look for. Being online and putting in the time to get to know someone is hard and realizing they aren't your type at the end can lead to some awkward moments...just a thought. Maybe have a profile picture of just a person's face at least?

Still Working Out The Bugs

I think this app has potential, but it only lets you look at ten people a day so it takes forever to match with anyone. I think there’s some logic in that because it makes it so you actually have to look at profiles on a deeper level.
The forums are an absolute crack zone. There are way too many people and no one is on the same page.

Interesting Idea

I downloaded this app because it sounds really fascinating and I love the idea of sharing things I love for people to get to know me. However you can’t search geographically or provide any sort of age limits. I’m very much not a fan of that. I’m not exactly looking for a pen pal.

Can’t Match Yet

The app won’t let me post a selfie since I bypassed it earlier. But I did upload a photo of myself sooo not sure how or why this is working the way it is currently. Tech issues?

Also: Please post an email address or tech help line or SOMETHING so you can keep receiving this feedback.

So far I’ve only seen this kind of thing with Meeber and now Birdy I guess - I hope they get bigger and better!! Love the MBTI
