Don’t waste your money

Let me know when it’s free try and not paying to talk to scammers or bots.

Poor Start

Have to agree with other reviews. No way past account creation without paying for £20 a week up to £80 a year. The yearly subscription sounds fair compared other apps. But the problem I have is that without at least being able to see if there is anybody in my area first why would I part with £20 just to possibly find out there isn’t? The app seems American in nature, as the US flag is all over the pictures in the App Store, so how do I know any will be UK based or even if they are, any of them near me? This does need to be addressed and then you’ll probably have more people willing to pay the prices and join.

You’re raising a fair concern about knowing whether DarkHeart has enough people nearby before committing to a membership. Because we’re a niche community, local availability can vary quite a bit by region. We appreciate the suggestion to make that clearer earlier in the experience—it’s useful feedback for us.

Hell to the no

With all the scammers on every dating platform. I think we should have the ability to check the site out before even paying a dime. You can’t even view to see if there’s anyone even in your location.

Lies

Claims to be a premium subscription based app. I paid the fee without a worry but only to find women that looked unnaturally attractive that were all posed to be from Central Germany and Poland. I ran multiple through Gemini and it is confirmed that they pose up female bot accounts with literally Google AI Tool generated images of non-existent women. This is an illegal practice ; it is clear as day they are just out to take your money, the upfront cost, the fake women, and the fact that only the recipient can respond they use it as a guise to cover up the fact there’s no one on the other side of the screen. I usually don’t leave posts like this but using a beautiful community to manipulate them for financial gains is a different level.

We take concerns about profile authenticity seriously. Our membership model is designed in part to make bots and disposable accounts harder to operate, but if you believe specific profiles are using misleading or AI-generated images, please send the usernames or screenshots to support@darkheart.app. We want to review the actual accounts involved rather than dismiss your concern.

I Don’t Trust This

I tried to sign up and unfortunately there is no way to test the app before using it. A minimum $20 paywall is insane (in my opinion). If you want people to use your app, my suggestion is allow them to navigate the user interface for free and if people want to chat or send likes then paywall them (or at the very least give 5 free likes out to new users). At this point, the ROI is not worth it because I don’t know what I’m getting into. Please fix your current model and maybe I’ll try it but right now, I would not suggest this app to anyone and I would say find something else for right now. I’m willing to change my review but folks at DarkHeart, you are only shooting yourselves in the foot with your current setup. I’m willing to change my review if I can actually access the app but right now, I’m not interested. I’ll try again in 6 months if I’m still single. Unfortunate.

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. We understand why committing to a subscription before getting a fuller look at the experience can feel like a big ask. DarkHeart uses an upfront membership to help keep the community more intentional, reduce fake or low-effort accounts, and stay ad-free, but we know that approach won’t work for everyone. Your suggestion around giving new members a better way to see what DarkHeart offers before subscribing is fair, and it’s feedback we’re taking seriously as we continue improving the app. We’d love to have you give DarkHeart another look down the road.

Just a big money grab

Makes you go through making a profile then you have to pay to do anything don’t download not worth it

We understand why completing your profile before seeing the subscription requirement felt frustrating. DarkHeart requires a membership to access the community, which supports moderation and an ad-free space for goth and alt people. We know that model won’t be right for everyone, and we appreciate your feedback.

Bad

Too expensive

We understand the membership price felt too high for you. DarkHeart uses a subscription model to help maintain a safer, more genuine, and ad-free community for goth and alt people. We appreciate the honest feedback.

Pay Only.

It’s 20$ for a week long access. It’s super expensive and there’s no option to even try the app before needing to pay.

I was really excited to interact with fellow goth and alt individuals even if not to go on a date but even to just be friends T^T

Wirklich schade!

Das war genau die Art von Dating App, die ich gebraucht hatte aber ich würde niemals so viel zahlen nur damit ich mit ein paar Typen schreibe. Endlich hatte ich eine App gefunden in der ich hin gehöre, wo viele weitere schwarze Seelen unterwegs sind wie ich dir einfach nur Pech in ihrem Leben haben und schwarz mehr als nur Symbolik ist. Ich wäre gern ein Teil dieser App geworden. Aber ich seh es nicht für eine Woche 23 € zu zahlen für einen Monat 45 € zu zahlen und zu 100 € für einen ganzen Jahr. Das ist einfach absolut zu teuer. Ich hab viele Dating Apps ausprobiert. Und alle sind an dem Konzept gescheitert, die ich mir gewünscht hätte. Aber diese App hat mich am meisten angesprochen und mich momentan am meisten zerstört. An Hoffnung, jemanden zu finden, der so ist wie ich. Es wäre besser, wenn ihr den Konzept einfach ändert und dass man kostenlos mit dabei sein kann, aber dementsprechend keine schwarzen Rosen hat, sondern nur eine begrenzte Anzahl an einem Tag zum Beispiel das wäre besser gewesen

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. DarkHeart isn't a mass-market swiping app; it's a curated space for people who value alternative culture, safety, and deeper connection over sheer volume. Our membership model helps protect that environment and keeps the community focused. We understand the current pricing may not work for everyone, and we appreciate your suggestion about offering a more limited membership option. We’re glad the community felt like a place where you could belong, and we appreciate you giving DarkHeart a try.

Meh

I don’t want to pay without knowing if people are actually in my area

It doesn’t make sense to pay considering I live in a more rural environment I won’t even know if anyone is in the area.

Thank you for the feedback. As a niche community, member density varies by location, especially in more rural areas.

Our membership model helps maintain that experience and keep the community focused. We understand this approach isn't for everyone, and we appreciate you giving DarkHeart a try.

Still behind a paywall. Create profile then immediately payment selection. Can’t see anything at all.

Still seems very early in development, very few users, and even fewer locally, the paywalls are a definite turn away.

Needs to have something for users to use for free and see what the app is all about before spending actual money for something that may be a waste of time.

Hopefully the bot doesn’t reply with a copy and paste reply.

Why?

Wait so I have to pay to use it? Why make it free in the App Store just to make you have to pay for it anyway

Awful

You gotta pay to use the app… comical honestly. Don’t bother. They say it’s to create safety and blah blah blah when in reality it’s just to get quick bucks and have you look at ai photos of people that probably don’t exist.

Paywall

Its pretty stupid to put a paywall on a app that is for dating? I am not going to pay for a app that I should only be using for a short amount of time because it is to DATE on for most users. And you can’t even add photos of you with different makeup I tried to and it classified it as me being a anime character greatttt for a goth user base.
