I put up good pictures and thoughtful responses to prompts including a voice prompt. I don’t think men get nearly as many likes as women because there’s more men on dating apps and as the person I met and I am currently dating from Hinge would have over 50 likes! I wouldn’t recommend spending money on roses unless there’s someone you’re absolutely crazy for but it’s unfortunate that the standouts require roses. Hinge doesn’t provide as much space for typing up a bio or other long responses and I feel like people make themselves to look like they’re world traveler celebrities so there’s so much to consider but you can meet quality people for sure! Don’t put too much stress on yourself and just see what happens. ### 2/5 — Poor app service *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* The app kept closing down on me everytime I was trying to text someone back & every time I opened the app they kept showing me the same person. ### 4/5 — Solid app *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* was fun while it lasted ### 4/5 — I met someone. *2026-08-18, version 9.134.0* I have to give credit where it’s due… but I think hinge got it right this time for me👀 ### 5/5 — She asked for my number. 😬 *2026-08-18, version 9.134.0* Outstanding ### 5/5 — Found my person *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* Found a love for me after a while of searching on many different apps, This one was the best. Yes, They ask you to pay for subscription, But you really dont have to. ### 5/5 — Met the love of my life 5 stars *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* Met funny boy, clicked immediately. Our first date lasted like 8 hours cause we could leave each others company. Now we have a beautiful 3 month old daughter together ### 5/5 — Soulmate *2026-08-18, version 9.134.0* Thank you for the help ### 1/5 — App sucks *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* No bueno ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Conta excluída- NUNCA TIVE O APP *2026-08-21* cara como que minha conta foi deletada se eu não tive o app? Aliás, eu fui "expulsa" de ter esse app. Acabei de baixar e recebi isso como mensagem, por favor, revejam isso ### 1/5 — Waste of time and money *2026-08-19* I’ve decided to give Hinge a final go after having my profile active for a year. I have purchased a 3 months subscription, HingeX for £100 even though I know ratio of men to women is 6:4 - I’m 6 ft 2” and decent looking but responses are infinitesimal. In the first three weeks of being on HingeX, I’ve had no likes despite of sending out a few. The new Signals feature is absolutely pointless. One of the criteria to receive a signal is to respond to ‘likes’. How can you respond when you are not receiving any‘likes’!?- it would be much better if you could get some indication of who looked at your profile, if any! I’m sceptical about the matching system which I believe is non-existent, and is simply a filter. For example, my profile is shown to users to whom I do not match their selected criteria. There are too many fake users to exasperate the situation. My advice is not to waste your money on Dating Apps. Go out and chat to people - use Eventbrite, as you can go on many social events with like minded people, and many are free - at least you’ll get some sort of response. Don’t believe the positive feedback here - it is quite obvious that many are fake. Please do not waste your money on Dating Apps - your hopes will be very high but outcome disappointingly low. ### 1/5 — Muito fraco *2026-08-18* Poucas pessoas na região de sp. O aplicativo te bane do nada, sem explicações. ### 1/5 — I don’t know why this happened *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* I used it for a bit but then got bored. When to go try it again and my account gets banned?? And I can’t even appeal either? I didn’t do anything ### 1/5 — Stuck on Loading Screen After VPN Use – Bug Report *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* The app is completely unusable and stuck on the loading screen. It initially broke while I was using a VPN. However, even after completely disabling the VPN, deleting the VPN configuration profiles from my iPhone settings, and turning off iCloud Private Relay, the app refuses to load.I have already tried restarting my iPhone, toggling Airplane Mode, and switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data. Nothing works. The app seems to be falsely flagging my device or permanently caching an IP block even when on a standard, clean mobile network.Please fix this network caching bug or update the app to properly refresh device connection states. iPhone users should not be permanently locked out of their accounts just because a VPN was once active. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* I’m only getting the last message when people send multiple (I get the abbreviated notifications). Is this another ploy to get me to pay the exorbitant fee? Probably. ### 1/5 — found my other 1/2 *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* I found my other third person on here, we were texting back and forth for a couple qeeks and she ghosted me! thank you hinge, I hope to meet more women who may ghost me your app os soo great ### 1/5 — Banned for no reason *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* It says my Hinge account was banned for violating sections 2 and 4 of its terms of service, detected with automated tools. My account featured no nudity and I was unable to appeal the ban before the timer ran out. How may I appeal the ban? Thank you ### 1/5 — What’s the point of paying for membership *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* It withholds profiles. It places good profiles in Standouts and if you want to swipe them left you have to pay. Why????So intensely greedy. ### 1/5 — Review by Mr Duch *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* This platform is expensive. Comparing it to my time in 2022, it still is not that great in getting people out there to meet, date and find enduring relationships. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Deu certo =) *2026-08-23* Deu certo!! Encontrei uma pessoa bem legal, nos conhecemos e estamos juntos. Está sendo incrível =) ### 5/5 — Pas mal du tout *2026-08-20* J'ai pas énormément de match/likes. Genre 1-2 par jour. Après je like pas souvent. Et mes photos sont pas les meilleures. Mais au moins ça marche, je fais des rencontres, j'ai des discussions. Les vocaux sont très pratiques contrairement aux autres apps. Le fait de pouvoir envoyer un message avec un like c'est un vrai plus, j'ai eu pas mal de matchs en trouvant les bons mots ahah. Ca change d'une app basée uniquement sur le physique où la majorité est désavantagée. Jamais acheté de boost mais j'ai pris l'abonnement et ça marche bien. On dirait que certains jours Hinge decide de montrer mon profil plus et je reçois une vague de likes. Cette app m'a donné bcp d'opportunités avec de jolies filles, après il faut gérer la situation en personne aussi haha ### 5/5 — I've always been successful with this app. Always. *2026-08-20* Coming from a fresh deletion due to finding someone wonderful. I can only speak for myself. I'm sure there are several people that are simply not able to make things happen through online dating. But for someone like me where it's not always easy to find people out there, it it offers a direct link to meet wonderful people. Put effort into your profile. Be fun and nice no matter what. Let go with a smile if they are not feeling the same. Be gentle when you must let someone go yourself. Didn't work? Try again, and just take it easy. Don't take things too seriously (that comes later), have fun, laugh, learn, and better yourself over time. Rinse and repeat. In the end, you'll find someone provided you already love who you see in the mirror as is, and be sure to look inwards to make sure you're putting the best version of yourself out there. Worked for me and it always has. ### 5/5 — The hinge plus *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* Profile are been hidden after subscription ### 5/5 — Sometimes you get lucky *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* When you find your person, don’t let the continuous string of profiles on here distract you. God speed ### 5/5 — The person is great *2026-08-18, version 9.134.0* For a couple of dates and we’re doing good I like the person already ### 5/5 — Very nice app *2026-08-18, version 9.134.0* They are verified people. I think I found the love of my life ### 5/5 — Ignore the Judgemental people *2026-08-18, version 9.134.0* Like in life you have to kiss a lot of toads to find a princess ### 5/5 — LOML *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* The best ### 5/5 — Met the love of my life *2026-08-18, version 10.0.0* Was on Hinge for around two weeks or so until I met the girl of my dreams. Plan on marrying her. 10/10 app. Would recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
