I wholeheartedly get It, but imagine attempting to use an app and they literally block all activity on the app, to redirect you to an immediate update when none of my other apps do this. ### 4/5 — Account *2026-08-21, version 3.30.140* Good app but I got banned for no reason and I want to appeal this cause I miss this app ### 3/5 — APP is Good BUT FULL OF BUGS !!! *2026-08-20, version 3.30.140* Really needs work and maintenance some matches don’t work the app stalls the same card stack repeats and it’s still very restrictive overall but love the concept it’s a great app just needs work ### 3/5 — Waitlist and glitch *2026-08-18, version 3.30.140* I want to be able to experience the wonderful things I’ve heard about this app, but I’ve been on the waitlist for months at this point. I hope it’s worth the wait. As for the glitch happening; if I close the app and go back to check if I’ve been accepted, it tries to have me recreate my account, but also says I need to login first with no way to actually go back and doing so. I have to delete the app and reinstall it to be able to login again. ### 1/5 — Another $$$$ scheme date’n app. *2026-07-25, version 3.30.132* 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. 😑. ### 3/5 — Updates every other day *2026-07-22, version 3.30.132* 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 ### 1/5 — Smh… *2026-07-21, version 3.30.132* App mainly for blacks… owned by blacks.. ensures the lowest subscription is higher than all other similar app’s vip sub.. pity ### 1/5 — Wish I read the reviews first! *2026-07-21* 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. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-07-18, version 3.30.130* I was band in first week going back to tender ### 1/5 — B *2026-07-12, version 3.30.128* Scam ### 1/5 — Absolutely scum *2026-07-07, version 3.30.126* Don’t waste your money or time downloading this..if you happen to be cute they flag your post down and the support team don’t have evidence they just be saying nothing waste of absolutely people time you guys should also hire people who know how to deal with complaints useless ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stop the cap *2026-08-24, version 3.30.140* I honestly feel like they have bot accounts. Where they have people that initiate conversation just to keep you on the app wasting money. The settings don’t work whether if you pay or not. Whatever you’re looking for you won’t find it on here. I honestly feel like apps like this should be put out of service. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-22, version 3.30.140* Horrible app. I live in a populated city. I had over 30 likes. In a month and a half I have yet to make one match of me swiping. 2. I filled out my profile completely and yet there are bottom tier women with empty profiles and terrible pictures, why weren’t they declined. As bad as BLK is, it’s the better option by a long shot. This is just a money grab. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-08-22, version 3.30.140* Trash ### 1/5 — Tls error. Keeps deleting me *2026-08-21, version 3.30.140* It has potential. But keeps deleting me or logging out and saying TLS error and I can’t get back into account until a few days later so ### 1/5 — Busted *2026-08-14, version 3.30.137* 😩😩😩 ### 1/5 — Another paywall app *2026-08-08, version 3.30.132* 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. ### 1/5 — It is one of the worst apps out there *2026-08-06, version 3.30.132* 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… ### 1/5 — Fix those minor hiccups *2026-08-04* 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😴 **Developer response:** We added a couple of the features you requested. All you had to do was ask. 🙂. But seriously, our goal is to always improve and we look for ways to make the experience easier and more meaningful. Please note that the app will try to show you people closer to you but might expand slightly when needed if you run out our people closer to you. Thousands joint each day so new singles closer to you might quickly appear in your feed again. Feel free to email us if you have more questions or feedback. ### 1/5 — Site is glitchy *2026-07-30, version 3.30.132* 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. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-07-30, version 3.30.132* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-08-25, version 3.30.140* Cool ### 5/5 — My experience *2026-08-23, version 3.30.140* People I meet here are kind and friendly,is actually the kind of dating app I wish to join. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-14, version 3.30.138* Great app ### 5/5 — Business Owner *2026-08-10, version 3.30.133* Best, & Greatest Looking, Handsome Black Men Website Out!!! ### 5/5 — Love *2026-08-07, version 3.30.132* Such a great experience ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-01, version 3.30.132* Great app ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-29, version 3.30.132* Good site ### 5/5 — Reviews *2026-07-11, version 3.30.128* 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?
