Unfortunately, after a year, I’ve only received 5 out of the 12 promised matches. For the high cost, I expected better transparency and delivery, but it quickly became clear that the male pool is not large enough to support the number of women subscribing. Instead of being upfront about this, they continue to take payments while failing to meet their own match minimums. I requested a refund twice last year due to the lack of matches, but both times I was denied. Their solution? Extending my membership indefinitely until they can meet the required number of matches. However, of the 5 matches I did receive, only 3 were actual matches based on my preferences. It felt like they were just assigning men at random to fill quotas rather than providing quality connections. To make matters worse, I was even told that men in their late 30s to early 40s in the DMV area don’t want to date a woman with a child. If that’s the case, why take my money knowing they couldn’t match me? This experience has been incredibly disappointing. While the concept has potential, the execution falls short due to their lack of a balanced database. At this point, I feel trapped in a “death row” contract—paying for a service that hasn’t delivered what was promised. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend CarpeDM and would advise others to proceed with caution before committing. ### 1/5 — Not true matchmaking *2024-11-30, version 4.16* I joined for the 6 month membership with 4 matches, and 3 out of 4 matches wanted children when I was clear with my match maker that I didn’t. I gave them a height preference, that wasn’t met. I gave a weight preference, that wasn’t met. After the first match they stopped trying and paired me with anyone in the community which has extremely more women than men. Not worth your time. ### 1/5 — Terrible Matchmaking service *2024-10-15, version 4.15* After my first match I immediately asked for my money back. I could go through all the details but long story short, I would never in million years recommend any woman pay for this service -- unless you are just desperate to find someone. I met better quality men on my own irl and on Hinge. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE…DONT DO IT *2024-10-01, version 4.14* Not only is the app very wonky; the service is a well. I am paid member and I have received 2 “matches” thus far. Both I could have easily found on me own. The kicker is, Carpe DM can show you a picture of someone and that is counted as a match. Now you may not want to meet that person and that person may not want to meet you. But it is still considered a match. Yes, you heard that right. As in my case, they presented a picture and a bio of a man that I had no interest in but said I would be a good sport and do a video call. He also felt that I would not be a good match so he didn’t want to do a video call. But he was still considered a “match”. So honestly, you could pay, they show you a bunch of pics and you never meet anyone and they will still have your money. Tell me how that is better than dating apps 🤷🏾‍♀️😂 ### 1/5 — Potential but not there yet *2023-04-27, version 3.8* This seems too good to be true because it is. They lure Black women in whether they service your region or not, obtain and keep your photos (even after account deletion request), and they try and hold your profile hostage until you pay a $99 deposit even when they’ve rejected your profile for being out of their region. ### 1/5 — Sent profile for “review” nothing since *2023-01-27, version 3.2* Whats the point? Collect all my info then im never contacted after the review of my requested profile. Dont waste your time. ### 2/5 — They don’t have enough Men *2025-05-11, version 4.21* Carpe DM has not been a good experience so far. After paying thousands of dollars to receive 6 matches, I have only had one match. The match was wonky & did not match with me, yet it counted against me. The match said they been using the service for two years & only saw 1 person on a date. Other matchmakers guide you both to set up an in person date. I do not receive much feedback and regret using the service. I can’t recommend this service at all. It is worth $600 not anymore than that. ### 3/5 — What’s the hold up *2019-08-08, version 1.8* Created a profile and nobody’s on ### 5/5 — So far So Good *2025-03-22, version 4.20* I hate matching with 40+ people on Hinge or other platforms and having to filter through them myself and plan multiple dates—all while managing an extremely busy life. CarpeDM came through. I read other reviews before joining, and yes, it is a tailored experience, so it takes time to find someone who truly matches you. I had a great onboarding process and told my matchmaker I only wanted 1 or 2 matches at a time—and they stuck to that. After one month, I had two matches. Both felt like perfect fits. The only downside? They lived about two hours away. But honestly, I didn’t mind—it gave me more time to get to know them at a deeper level. Overall, I highly recommend this service if you’re serious about finding your person and have the patience to understand that this isn’t Tinder or Hinge where you get 30 matches in a day. It’s intentional. It’s curated. It works. ### 5/5 — Where has this app been my life *2022-10-03, version 2.09* I love the streamlined and simplicity of the app. It has the best of online dating plus professional matchmaking. My only wish is for Android version so I can tell my other friends to join! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great dating app! *2020-02-04, version 1.9* Carpe DM is the future of dating apps! Less catfishing and more genuine connections. ### 5/5 — Super cool! *2020-02-04, version 1.9* Love this app. It is user friendly and great to meet for people ### 5/5 — I don’t have time for wasted dates ... *2020-02-03, version 1.9* ... And this app prevents time and energy wasted getting ready and going out with someone I don’t have chemistry with. I’m all about efficiency and this just makes dating a lot less sucky. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-12-05, version 1.9* Very user friendly. I really like the app so far. Still learning the tools but I enjoy its ease of use. ### 5/5 — Great app for what it works for! *2019-11-23, version 1.9* A solid experience with a great platform ### 5/5 — Innovative dating app! *2019-05-05, version 1.6* Carpe DM is a fresh take on dating apps. It gives people a chance to make an authentic connection. Also, I feel safer as a woman to do some fun due diligence via video call before I go out on a date. Love this! ### 5/5 — OMG *2019-02-12, version 1.1* I love this app! Can’t wait to explore my new matches.. Thanks CarpeDM ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2019-02-07, version 1.0* Very innovative ... can’t wait to see what the future brings 😎 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
