Scam
The site is a scam - they force you to post EXACTLY 6 pictures, yet many of the profiles have less. You also have no idea when the last time members were logged on - could be inactive for years…but based on the fact that literally no one responds id say it’s a safe bet they keep dormant profiles up to attract paying subscribers.
They also have stupid rules - the app rejects photos where your eyes are closed while others can post pics with no people in it they place limitations on how many people you can block, they only allow 500 characters for an intro, which isn’t as much as it sounds.
If I could give this service negative stars I would - what a waste of energy, money and patience.

You pay more (obviously) for a one-month subscription than for a 6-month and yet they don’t give you all the features.

Wow
This app is a joke. It’s incredibly glitchy, you can’t use certain photos because they don’t meet there “rules.” I guess I’m not allowed to post myself swimming at the beach because I’m shirtless with swim trunks, oh no! Not only that but they charge $30 a month to be able to like more than 3 profiles, which is insane because that’s more expensive than hinge. Don’t waste your time downloading this. Just use another Christian app and filter for Catholics.

Terrible app
Account locked for no reason. No refund given
Messages Locked Behind 9 Day Wait
… but you can pay money to read a message sooner! That’s all you need to know about this garbage app.
Cash Grab
Recently ran into an issue where if someone has messaged you the app blocks you from messaging them back or even liking their profile to try to force you to upgrade to premium. So I have a connection where both of us know who the other is and have tried to express interest, but the app won't let you connect. The whole point of the app is impossible without premium.

Totally Worthless
Don't waste your time. In metro Phoenix and there are almost no women signing up. I tried it for a few years, gave it a fair shot. Worse, their updated rules for communication are terrible. I contacted them personally to express my opinions and got boiler plate responses. They don't care. It should be free. What a worthless app.

Discriminatory practices
It pains me to write this review but it is deserved. After being a member of the site for about 7 months, they changed their photo guidelines quite extensively, followed by actively cropping and deleting members’ photos which individual reviewers or AI haphazardly decided do not meet these new ‘guidelines’. And really, I had no problems with their new guidelines because all of my photos were in compliance, or so I thought. That was until someone decided that there were additional rules not stated anywhere on the website which included two photos of mine wearing different v-neck tops suddenly considered too“low cut” because my sternum bone (gasp!) is visible. Yes! Showing certain bones is too revealing, apparently but I’m going to guess if a man wore a v-neck showing his sternum, his photo would not be secretly deleted as mine were. When I asked about this and pointed out that “low cut” tops (although this term is extremely relative and also not defined by them) are not even stated as ‘not allowed’ in the new guidelines yet they use it as the reason they’re deleting my profile photos and not even notifying me. This is unfairly targeting women and as a modest woman, I also find it offensive. Leadership at CM is needs to clearly define their terms and conditions if they’re going to avoid a lawsuit in the future.

Against connection?
The app makes it legitimately difficult to see or communicate with even people that like you or want to talk with you. If your not going to pay for the premium it’s mostly just a tease unfortunately for Catholics
They over complicate EVERYTHING.
By far the worst dating app I ever used. They over complicate everything under the false narrative of security. Sadly secular sites do a much better job at allowing people to actually mingle.
They don’t care
CatholicMatch had no desire to help single Catholics find love. They want you to pay $30 to read 1 message
🤡
Very expensive
Improvements Needed
Some changes: need to remove already liked profiles from the deck- no point in seeing them over and over again. Also, get rid of the 125 minimum- it creates a need to generate filler. Sometimes less is more than an opener, and if someone wants to make a short and sweet one, why not let them? Also, what is even the point of the "you have a match with" feature?

Not worth it
Many inactive accounts, profiles automatically reactivated after a few months, unable to like anyone unless you pay.
Absolute joke
You have to pay to even get in to see if you want to join. This is a trash app that makes it seem like it connects Catholics. There are HARDLY any options; and the pool of available people is even worse. Not many options and the ones that are there are NOT worth the time to even build a profile. I regret paying for this- I could have bought a tank of gas instead and been JUST AS SATISFIED. Save your money and meet people organically. This is NOT it!

AI Photo Rejection
This app used to be ok, but in recent updates they have added in bad AI photo tools which really don’t work.
Oh boy…
If you are a guy and you like sending a bunch of messages, just for most to never be read and the other batch to be left on read…. Go ahead and pay the subscription. Th
Other issues: This app is designed for women (primarily) to sit there and wait for “the next best option”. So yeah if you want to waste time and humiliate yourself go ahead and sign up. Then you have to deal with the fact that theres not very many people, and from friends that a women, Ive heard that a lot of guys can be particularly weird and or vile.

Bad pricing structure
I appreciate the idea of this app but it has some huge flaws that make it unusable unless you're really lucky or live in an enormous city.
Two things it could do to fix this:
1. Lower the subscription price. $30 a month is absurd. People don't even pay that for their modern streaming services. Dating apps
literally don't work if not enough people use them. More people would join and you would make way more money if you charged $10-$15 a month instead. And no, this doesn't include bundles. People don't know if these apps work so they are reluctant to spend an even bigger sum of money on multimonth subscription even if its cheaper month to month.
2. If you must charge such a high premium then it needs to be a premium experience. Remove the free account option. All that does bloat the list of available people with accounts that will never see your message/like. Seeing "unread" messages is extremely discouraging and will cause people not to resubscribe (myself included).

Weird..
Now I’m not saying I’m Stacy, but I am surprised I have not gotten a single match or like on this app. The inactivity is insane and I was only able to send 3 likes before I was asked to pay lol
Canceled & Still Got Charged
I was very happy to know about this Catholic app. I tried it but once I decided I did not want to continue, I cancelled my subscription but continued to get mysteriously charged without any trace on my iPhone. No charge history or receipts found on my phone. Just emailed customer services about it and I hope, of all apps, that they will do the right thing in refunded me my money. Very disappointed, makes me not want to use this app anymore. I will try and update what happens. If you use it and cancel, monitor your bank statements, not sure who’s running and charging after canceling subscription.
