Disappointed

Similar to CatholicMatch, this app also seemingly suffers from an inflated member count with inactive/obsolete profiles. At least several ladies who I have known in real life, who are now married, engaged, or in religious life still show up on a search. This criticism is further supported by the number of messages I have sent that have not even been read.

GARBAGE

Wasted a day trying to get this stupid app to log me in. Don’t bother.

Pretty much a scam

They will purposefully hide the profiles that like you until you pay for premium it seems. They also will censor any attempt at adding a social media handle to get your conversation off the app in the name of safety however this is obviously because they want you to talk for premium. Terrible business model.

Unfinished App with Poor Implementation

It’s clear when making the account that this app was just roughly created. During setup, certain actions will prevent you from being able to proceed to the next page (adding too many photos, something like 8), selections being covered by other UI, lagging. Also very restricted on what filters you can use and just honestly some weird forced choices (50 miles radius or 250? That’s a huge leap).

And of course no way to remove profiles you are not interested in. Overall not a worthwhile app.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. There is a simple way to remove profiles you’re not interested in with just a couple of taps. Some features are intentionally designed to encourage more thoughtful connections rather than quick swiping. We appreciate your feedback and continue refining the experience. God bless!

Inactive profiles

Overall decent, but there seem to be so many inactive profiles. It’s obvious because peoples’ bios often say things like, “Hi, I’m 22 years old…” etc. but the age on their profile will say 28. This happens fairly often. If people haven’t updated their profile in years, please don’t have their profiles showing up to me.

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. That is a fair observation. We prioritize recently active members in results, and we also take steps to remove profiles that have been inactive for extended periods. Profile details are set by each user, so they may not always reflect recent updates. We are continuing to refine this so the experience stays fresh and relevant. God bless!

Can’t log in

I created my profile and paid for a premium membership but it doesn’t open. It just keeps asking me to verify my email. I’m stuck in a loop.

I’ve managed to find the log in link but it’s not showing the profile that I just created. It’s showing an old one from several years ago.

This is very frustrating. Why did I just spend all this time to create a new profile but it’s not there?

I can only see my old profile. Not my new one. And the old one isn’t active.

This site/app doesn’t work.

Please refund me my money.

Response from developer

We’re very sorry for the frustration you experienced. That’s not the experience we want for anyone. It sounds like there may have been an account mix-up during verification, which we can usually clear up quickly. Please reach out through our contact form at catholicchemistry.com and we’ll take care of it right away. God bless!

Waste of money

I find this app to be a waste of money. Not enough people on the site. Lesson learned they got my money.

Response from developer

I’m really sorry your experience left you feeling that way, that’s not what we ever want. If the community felt too quiet in your area, please email support@catholicchemistry.com with your city/region and we’ll help you get better results. If you’d rather cancel or have any billing questions, we’re happy to help with that too. We appreciate you giving Catholic Chemistry a try, and we’d like the chance to make things right.

Stale/inactive profiles

I saw a profile of one woman who I know was married two years ago. And is obviously not in the market anymore.

Response from developer

I’m really sorry you ran into that, seeing a profile that appears outdated or inaccurate is frustrating, and it’s not the experience we want for anyone. We do work to keep profiles authentic and current, and we’re taking a closer look at how we detect and remove inactive or misrepresenting accounts. Please email support@catholicchemistry.com with any details you’re comfortable sharing (name/username, screenshots, and your city/region), and we’ll investigate right away and follow up with a resolution. Thank you for flagging this so we can improve the community.

No much match

Slow

Navigation Negative

Negatory Good Buddy. Not worth the trouble.

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re continually improving navigation and overall usability. If you’re willing to share more details, please contact us through our contact form at CatholicChemistry.com.

Bait and switch misleading.

The app is NOT WORTH THE MONEY. They banned me simply because I wrote in my bio that the app wasn’t worth the money due to the overwhelming amount of old, inactive, and fake profiles. I get plenty of attention on other dating apps, and there was zero interaction here. Not to mention I didn’t put ANY limit on radius in which to find someone (>250 miles). I didn’t use any profanity, and they’re so sensitive and clearly don’t know how to run a business ethically as they banned my account. Not ever Catholic like to not let me finish out my subscription I just paid for 3 days ago. I’m going to be filing a better business claim, and follow with google reviews if I don’t get my moment back ( not holding my breath, so expect worse, and stop calling yourself Catholic).

App Not Working

I have true most recent version of the app, but I am stuck on the profile set-up; when I try to add photos, they don’t load up. Looking forward to giving this app a try… but currently can’t get past the setup screen!

Response from developer

Sorry for the trouble with photo upload — that’s really frustrating. You were on version 3.1.0, and we’ve since fixed this in our latest updates. Please update to version 3.1.3 and the setup screen should work smoothly. If you still have any issues, reach out through our contact form at catholicchemistry.com so we can help directly. God bless!

Not worth your time

App is basically abandoned and nobody is on here. The app is buggy at best and makes one wonder if it’s actually ever being updated.

The UI is ok, but there is room for MUCH needed improvement. As a front-end dev I highly suggest removing the app and improving it and then re-releasing once you have a finished product.

The last instagram post was in 2022 if that tells you anything about this company

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We’ve completely refreshed Catholic Chemistry, rebuilt from the ground up with a new design, better performance, and free reply messaging (no unlocking, no waiting). Our community is growing every day. Our mission to help Catholics connect meaningfully remains the same, and we invite you to experience the new version. God bless!

Not a Catholic company

The very fact that they claim to be a Catholic company and yet their site is dead and not being updated and the fact that they allow users to pay for a subscription tells you everything you need to know.

It’s a scam

Rough start

I had a bit of a hard time getting the app to work, but after that, it worked fine. I have been trying to get to know more ladies but I think I have to pray , be patient, and try to find a lady closer to my area. Perhaps we can be 50 miles apart.

Response from developer

We’re glad to hear things are working better now! We’ve since fixed the setup issues you mentioned, and you can use the distance filter to find members closer to your area — even within 50 miles. You've got the right attitude 💪 you’ve got this! God bless!

Doesn’t work

Download app, open it, redirects you to upgrade which brings you back to the store page with no option to “upgrade” just open. Rinse and repeat

Response from developer

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ve released updates that should resolve the upgrade loop issue you described. If you’re still having trouble, please reach out to our support team through our contact form at catholicchemistry.com so we can help directly. God bless!

Outdated?

The app says I can’t sign in because I’m too young but I am very much 18

Not good

Hardly anyone on here close to me, plus the app never wants to open. Keeps saying there is an update but never updates. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times and keep having issues. Waste of money

App is Worthless

I’ve tried for days now and I can’t get the app to open up.

Customer service does not exist.

I made an account on the app on July 12, 2024. I paid for one month. After one day the app kicked me out and I was unable to log back in. I tried contacting support multiple times, but they never got back to me. My account is still active, other people can still see my profile which is very frustrating. I am now hoping that leaving a review will draw some attention so that I can get help and delete my account.
