Another paywall app
I get it the developers need to make money but locking all likes behind a paywall is crazy and the cost of membership is too much. You have to pay even before seeing if the app is worth the cost.
Love
Such a great experience
It is one of the worst apps out there
Just like all of those lousy dating apps Black Gentry is easily the worst. They want to advertise their products for free but you will have to pay just to see who can match with. After that it’s a complete scam and then the app wants to pay out of pocket for more services which the basis membership doesn’t help the first time…

Fix those minor hiccups
The app does have some potential, but there are some minor hiccups that the developers need to prioritise:
1. The location setting isn’t very good. The lowest mile range is 20 miles, and even that filter doesn’t work as all I see are people 60+ miles away. I don’t want to match anyone not living in my city, and that’s just my preference. So yh, could we have the lowest mile range set to at least 3 or 5 miles, and can you please make sure it actually works?
2. I get notifications that people like me, but I never ever come across their profile. It’s almost as if the algorithm pushes them all the way to the back so you never actually match anyone without paying a subscription. Whilst it’s a “meh” (fairly alright) marketing strategy, it’s really annoying and I’m not too keen to return to use it as, let’s be honest there are other dating apps that feel more progressive.
3. This one is very minor but I have OCD so here goes. When clicking into a profile picture and viewing the picture thumbnails side by side, I have to use my other finger to return to the main menu in order to swipe right or left. It would be much more beneficial if we could swipe from any part of the user profile. Having to use both hands every time I view a profile is tiring😴

Great
Great app
Site is glitchy
Doesn’t fully load for the first minute close the application and allow it to load again the logo just flashes constantly when it does load it freezes it shows notifications are present and then you open the application it is a blank screen and in the middle of writing or uploading or communicating commenting on public form the app closes out on you and everything you have wrote or done is lost. It becomes a bit of a nuisance to deal with.

Fraud
First off, this app banned me for no reason at all. Met a guy named John D Walker who stole Ryon Walkers identity claiming that he was a Military person stationed in Gaza. He’s a scammer. If you met him, Run! Ladies beware if this person. He’s good at what he does. Met him on this site.
Love it
Good site
Another $$$$ scheme date’n app.
App is a waist, in order to adjust your location search you have to subscribe, i have multiple likes but can only view for free after 10, then when i use it the women are 200 miles away while i’m in L.A. 😑.
Updates every other day
Are there really this many updates or is it a glitch. I update and then 2 days later it’s promoting again, besides that I like the app, but it’s annoying
Smh…
App mainly for blacks… owned by blacks.. ensures the lowest subscription is higher than all other similar app’s vip sub.. pity
Wish I read the reviews first!
Paid for Delux, cancelled my subscription and deleted my account in less than 24 hours. You can’t set preferences so everyone can message you - even if you’ve swiped left on their profile already! Constant bugs and error messages, too many to list. It’s frustratingly slow. Feels like a lot of the profiles are recycled and everything is an upsell even incognito - I expected a premium service @ £35pm not that feels like a college project. I’m baffled that the rating is so high when the majority of reviews I’ve read are 1 and 2 stars.

Hello,
I really love the app and have had a great experience using it. However, since I changed my phone, I’ve been having issues reloading or accessing the app properly.
Could you please look into this and help me resolve the issue? I would really appreciate your assistance.
Aside from this problem, the app is fantastic. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to hearing from you.

$$$$
Too expensive no trial. No nothing just pay. What if you don’t like it?
Wait list
I don’t really have much to say about this app because I’ve been in the wait list since it came out. My profile is 100% complete but yet I’m still waiting
Not as Exclusive as Advertised
I initially joined Black Gentry with high expectations based on how it was marketed. The app presents itself as an “elite” platform for Black singles, and the approval/waitlist process gave the impression that members would be more curated—professionals, established individuals, and people intentionally seeking serious connections.
However, after joining, my experience didn’t really match that expectation. The user base felt very similar to what you’d find on more general dating apps like Facebook Dating, with a wide range of profiles that didn’t reflect the “high-value, professional” branding the app promotes. It didn’t feel especially selective or curated in practice.
Another downside for me is the paywall. Unless you subscribe, you can only see who likes you once every 24 hours, which makes it difficult to meaningfully engage with the app without paying. I personally don’t feel motivated to pay for a subscription when the overall experience already feels inconsistent with what was advertised.
Overall, I think the app has potential, but it may benefit from either tightening its membership criteria or adjusting its branding to better reflect the actual user experience.
