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.

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.

Response from developer

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.

Development

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.

SCAM

An account holder pretended to be someone they weren’t and attempted to extort money from me

Paywalls everywhere

Constant paywalls and all the “reviews” are positive until you actually look at the REAL reviews. Something sketchy is going on and there is definitely not much people using the app (due to the inescapable paywall as soon as you try to sign up). If the developers want more people to use the app, maybe don’t make people pay just to sign up. Weird.

Have to pay

Can’t get an account without paying there’s no free subscription at all!

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. DarkHeart is a premium, subscription-based community. This model helps us reduce bots, spam, and inactive accounts while maintaining a safer experience for our members.

Terrible

Can’t even get on the app without paying atleast £19.99 a month for a premium subscription. Not even the most popular dating apps operate like this, ridiculous

Response from developer

We understand the frustration, and we appreciate the honest feedback. DarkHeart works differently from most dating apps because we focus heavily on keeping the community smaller, safer, and free from bots, fake accounts, and spam. The subscription helps support moderation, verification, and the overall experience inside the app. That said, we completely understand that pricing is an important factor, and feedback like this genuinely helps us improve moving forward. Thanks for giving the app a try.

No one

I’m in San Diego, and it makes you pay for the app before even seeing what it’s about, so I pay 20$, just to find out, literally no one is near me, waste of money.

„Suche Goth Mommy“ Pure Enttäuschung…

An sich ist die App eine gute Idee. Aber von den 100ten Profilen die ich gesehen habe, waren ganze 27 wirklich in der Szene. Der Rest waren hauptsächlich männliche Profile die in ihrer Bio haben „Suche Goth Mommy, bin ein Normie“. Genaus aus diesem Grund habe ich eine solche App gesucht, um den fetisch Typen aus dem Weg zu gehen und hier. Ist es genauso schlimm…

Thank you for the honest feedback. DarkHeart is built for the alternative community, and we take profile quality seriously. We actively review reports and continue improving moderation so the community stays aligned with what the app is meant to be. If you see profiles that feel inappropriate or fetishizing, please report them so our team can review and take action.

Guys Trust Me Don’t waste Your Time

Imagine everything wrong with dating apps put it in one app then say it’s for misfits that’s this app

No users in my area

I couldn’t see users without paying. I paid 19.99 to see no users for any age in my area

Paywall

There is a paywall to make the account and I find that very unnecessary

Scam

Waste of time creating it you have to pay upfront and you can’t even use the app without paying a lot

paywall

you type in information and start setting up your profile and then it slaps you with a $19.99 minimum to use the app….there is no option to exit the paywall..

Concern with app and pay to use

Hi I am trying to open the app after months of not having it and it keeps me stuck on the logo with the app booting up and won’t let me into it. Also a pay to use is crazy. I don’t remember if it’s just one payment or a subscription based but I wanted to see if there’s still a way I will get to use the app again and stuff

How’s Development going?

So I paid to use the App. I understand it’s relatively new but the App is difficult to understand. If no changes happens before my subscription is up without a doubt will cancel it and delete the app

Response from developer
