You have you detail on how people act on this app. No good!!! Stop trying to make apps like this. One word karma my generation knows not to deal with such things ### 1/5 — Absolute battery drainer *2026-07-22, version 2026.14.1* In theory it’s great. In reality I live in a city in East Anglia and have seen a grand total of three people on the map. There’s absolutely no one using it in this area in comparison to other apps. The REAL issue however it having geolocation on constantly. I have a brand new iPhone 17 and the battery drained within hours and my battery would be near empty long before it normally went on charge at bedtime. Turned it off and I can use my phone normally again without seeing it battery hit red. ### 1/5 — Advertising *2026-07-22, version 2026.14.1* Most recent advertising is loud and some is even malware ### 1/5 — Nach nicht mal 10 Minuten wieder gelöscht *2026-07-18* Mein Profil wurde gesperrt bevor ich es überhaupt vervollständigen konnte. Ist echt schade, da die App mir sehr interessant erschien. Warum ich gesperrt wurde weiß ich auch nicht, ich habe keine falschen Daten angegeben oder falsche Fotos verwendet, alles Fotos ohne Bearbeitung und ohne Filter drauf. Auch als ich meine Stadt angegeben habe wurde mir kein Ergebnis angezeigt, ich habe versucht bekanntere Städte die nahe liegen einzugeben aber die konnten anscheinend auch nicht gefunden werden. Als ich dann die App kurz schloss und wieder öffnete war ich schon gesperrt. **Developer response:** Hello, I understand your concern.

You can’t find anyone near you, there’s no real way to connect with the profiles you can see and on the miracle you get a match, they’re either the typical fake profile or just ghost you because none of these apps have the balls to ban people that do it. ### 1/5 — Uncomfortable *2026-07-11, version 2026.14.0* Feels unsafe ppl are given too much location access, the men were nothing great but also very aggressive & they APP doesn’t care. ### 1/5 — Don’t think about it, don’t get it *2026-07-10, version 2026.14.0* This app is so stupid, and overpriced. I made an account yesterday and for 20 minutes of using it, it kicked me out, claiming I got suspended. When I haven’t even matched with anyone or messaged anyone, this app is still in the process of getting all its bugs checked. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-10, version 2026.14.0* Scam ### 1/5 — No access *2026-07-10, version 2026.14.0* Can’t access my inbox wtf ### 2/5 — Beug *2026-07-09, version 2026.14.0* Les messages ne s’affichent pas exprès pour passer au mode premium ### 1/5 — Chat doesn’t work - no support *2026-07-09, version 2026.14.0* The chat keeps loading and doesn’t work, I asked support with no help what so ever ### 1/5 — Chat doesn’t load anymore *2026-07-09, version 2026.14.0* Chat no longer loads. Reinstalled multiple times. Kinda useless when you can’t communicate with anyone. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Can’t even see the chat section anymore *2026-07-09, version 2026.14.0* For over a week the chat section has been stuck on a loading like screen so I can’t even look at new or old chats at all and my app is up to date and it doesn’t matter where I am I have tried while on WiFi and nothing changes ### 1/5 — ゴミみたい *2026-07-09* 爛到爆 **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your comment. We're always looking for ways to improve the experience and make it more enjoyable for everyone. If you have any specific suggestions or feedback, please feel free to reach us at review@happn.fr! Thank you for your cooperation in the betterment of the application. ### 1/5 — Very real and legitimate real authentic accounts *2026-07-09, version 2026.13.0* Great if you like seeing the same "Eva" with the same stolen profile pictures over and over and over ### 1/5 — Can’t Even Open Messages *2026-07-08, version 2026.13.0* Paid for the month to give it a try. Can’t even open messages for the last four days. The senior is almost no users on this app either. Feels like a complete scam. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Another terrible dating app *2026-08-25, version 2026.17.1* Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-24, version 2026.17.1* Never “cross paths” with anyone but do over 300 miles a day 🫪 and way too many fake accounts ### 1/5 — Nothing happens *2026-08-19, version 2026.16.0* Nothing happens. The TEMU version of every dating app you have ever tried except without the people or matches. The app is supposed to show when someone has been in range, but there is generally nobody. In a month of using it I only had 2 crushes based purely on proximity. It is depressing because despite going about your day and visiting multiple places around the city NOR, SOR and EOR, nothing shows up. You click on the vibes and nothing. The app is a void of nothing. Don’t waste your time or money. One star is generous. ### 1/5 — Poor Customer Service *2026-08-17, version 2026.16.0* Tried following the sign up pathway and was immediately blocked with no reason provided. I emailed and was told to submit some details but every subsequent email has been met with radio silence. Currently have 0 faith in the app if they can’t even successfully onboard users. ### 1/5 — Drier than the desert *2026-08-12, version 2026.16.0* Seriously completely worthless even the paid tier - compared to other apps barely any matches and the matches you do get are of low quality, complete waste of money and even worse than Bumble’s free toer ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-07, version 2026.16.0* Tried signing up, filled out all my info, got to the screen where it asks to add photos, added photos and it keeps freezing and will not get past this point ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work! *2026-08-07, version 2026.15.0* I have uploaded pictures 100 times and when I press continue it doesn’t work, it’s stuck…it’s a waste of time! ### 1/5 — do not download *2026-08-05, version 2026.15.0* nothing but bots and scam profiles, i was then suspended for reporting scam profiles ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-29, version 2026.14.2* Probably the worst dating app I’ve used. Only filter unless paying is age. I used geolocation for 3 days in a built up Queensland city and I came across 2 people according to the app. Very delayed data. ### 1/5 — Suspended as I was setting up my account, no reason or warning given *2026-07-27, version 2026.14.2* I uploaded photos of myself and a picture of my pet (I’m going to assume because my pet isn’t a human face I got suspended). I went to add more to my profile like adding an anime name and no idea if that flagged it either. Suspended without warning and no upfront reason, before account is even set up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best *2026-07-25, version 2026.14.2* Best app ever ### 5/5 — My review *2026-04-29, version 2026.8.0* Is working well ### 5/5 — Hookup *2026-04-24, version 2026.8.0* Very good app ### 5/5 — Good *2026-04-15, version 2026.7.0* Good ### 5/5 — Good *2026-04-13, version 2026.7.0* Hell yah ### 5/5 — Parece buena *2026-04-12, version 2026.7.0* Ojalá todos salga bien ### 5/5 — NeeTake *2026-04-03, version 2026.6.0* Cool ### 5/5 — Officialjohnwoo *2026-03-09, version 2026.4.0* Johnwooficial ### 5/5 — Best *2026-03-08, version 2026.4.0* 💕 ### 5/5 — The best dating app *2026-03-02, version 2026.4.0* Thank you for fairly useful information and looking at many friends --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
