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. ### 3/5 — Inactive profiles *2026-04-23, version 3.1.6* 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. ### 1/5 — Not worth your time *2025-09-03, version 3.0.3* 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 ### 1/5 — Not a Catholic company *2025-08-26* 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 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-19* 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 **Developer response:** 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! ### 3/5 — Outdated? *2025-05-27, version 2.0.5* The app says I can’t sign in because I’m too young but I am very much 18 ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-05-10, version 2.0.5* 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 ### 1/5 — App is Worthless *2025-05-08, version 2.0.5* I’ve tried for days now and I can’t get the app to open up. ### 1/5 — Customer service does not exist. *2025-05-08, version 2.0.5* 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. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time or money! *2025-04-07, version 2.0.5* This dating app is terrible. The functionality and search are clunky at best. Very few legitimate users and majority of the few profiles are fakes. Stay away!! ### 1/5 — Tried it and yeah no *2025-02-16* I don’t like leaving negative reviews, but this app is horrible and honestly, I don’t even know why it’s still in the App Store it’s just that bad. I think the UI is decent but beyond that it’s time. If they would revamp it and actually give attention to their platform. I would consider re-trying it again because dating apps like Tinder and bumble are beyond disgusting to me and as a catholic dude I just wanna find a Catholic Gal ### 3/5 — Need to fix the app *2025-01-28, version 2.0.5* The website is GREAT, but the app leaves a lot to be desired. My biggest pet peeve is that whenever you view a person’s profile, it then immediately takes you back to the top of your feed instead of letting you continue to scroll through new profiles. Also you don’t get to view your profile aside from editing mode, so you can’t see what it looks like to others. I also wish it would delete inactive or duplicate profiles ### 1/5 — Potential but definitely falls short *2024-10-08, version 2.0.5* I hear Trent Horn advertised it and checked it out just for the sake of it. It was severely disappointing. First off the filtering is down right awful unless no one uses the app. It was giving me people half way across the country who were to far to pursue anything with. It has some nice features that I wish other apps have like were you have to the option to ask dancing or singing and can see the persons opinion but the features aren’t good if you’re not able to find someone near you. So I’d not recommend this app unless you find someone who lives close or don’t mind very long distance dating. ### 1/5 — Boot good *2024-06-03, version 2.0.5* Why does it always go back to old matches ### 1/5 — DO NOT PURCHASE (THEY SIMPLY STEAL YOUR MONEY) *2024-02-11, version 2.0.5* Do not purchase as they would simply steal your money. After purchasing, NONE of the features promised were unlocking. The money was never refunded. So please do not purchase a subscription. ### 1/5 — They steal your money! *2024-02-03* Please do not subscribe. I paid for a month and do not have access to any of the features that were promised. I have tried accessing this through the website and the app, still do not have access to any of the promised features. ### 1/5 — Not worth it! *2023-09-13, version 2.0.5* I tried for 1 month. Limited pool of men spread across the country. I basically had to use no filters to find anyone in 100 mi radius of me and I live in an urban area. Catholic men proclaimed to want a good Catholic women yet they are all wall flowers and just look at you. Not a single person sent a message to me. I’ve been a model and work in a male dominated industry. I have no issues attracting the opposite sex. The question is are they what I want… no. And this site was less than helpful meeting a good Catholic man. ### 3/5 — Decent enough app… but *2023-08-20, version 2.0.5* … it keeps glitching shortly after I start browsing. I’ll scroll through with my preferred filters on, then it will randomly zip back to the top of the page and get rid of my filters. It is annoying as all get out. Also, could use a bit more options for distance filters. There is 100 miles, 1000 miles, or no preference. ### 1/5 — Just bad *2023-07-28, version 2.0.5* This app is awful. There’s hardly anyone on there. Doesn’t show if they’re still even active. Very glitchy. I’ll scroll then it’ll scroll back to the top on its own. Won’t show if my messages were sent. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — GARBAGE *2026-05-14, version 3.1.6* Wasted a day trying to get this stupid app to log me in. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Pretty much a scam *2026-05-10, version 3.1.6* 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. ### 1/5 — Unfinished App with Poor Implementation *2026-05-01, version 3.1.6* 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. ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2026-03-07, version 3.1.6* 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. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-01-21, version 3.1.6* I find this app to be a waste of money. Not enough people on the site. Lesson learned they got my money. ### 1/5 — Stale/inactive profiles *2026-01-21, version 3.1.6* I saw a profile of one woman who I know was married two years ago. And is obviously not in the market anymore. ### 1/5 — No much match *2025-12-11, version 3.1.6* Slow ### 1/5 — Navigation Negative *2025-12-10, version 3.1.6* Negatory Good Buddy. Not worth the trouble. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch misleading. *2025-11-21, version 3.1.3* 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). ### 1/5 — App Not Working *2025-11-10, version 3.1.0* 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! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rough start *2025-08-24, version 3.0.3* 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. ### 5/5 — good *2022-07-24, version 1.1.6* very good app ### 5/5 — Sandyyh *2021-11-02, version 1.1.6* Me ### 5/5 — Best Catholic Dating app *2021-07-17, version 1.1.6* Great app! Interface is intuitive and fun. Best dating app I’ve used. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-03-13, version 1.1.6* I’ve been enjoying using this app. I really like how you can see what they believe quickly and you can make your decision on whether to pursue them quicker. The only problem I have is that, while for the most part it is fine, the app has some weird glitches at times. The community is also small, but that is to be expected. ### 5/5 — Great app, easy to navigate and interesting *2020-11-06, version 1.1.6* Excellent and simple to use ### 5/5 — I love CC! *2020-10-15, version 1.1.6* What can I say? It’s a great website! ### 5/5 — Love the site! *2020-08-29, version 1.1.6* Great way to meet people who share my values and love of life! ### 5/5 — Catholic Chemistry *2020-06-12, version 1.1.0* Great way to connect and meet others who share the same values! ### 5/5 — Catholic Chemistry *2020-03-22, version 1.0.16* Excellent app. Intuitive interface and easy to use features!
