Inner Circle is a curated members community for people who live ambitious, interesting lifestyles – and want to date people who move in the same circles. Built on the belief that opposites don’t attract, everything starts with two important questions: What are you interested in? And where do you spend your time? Our community is niche by design, and not everyone will be accepted. Each application is reviewed by our membership team to curate a community of people with shared lifestyles and who move in the same circles. Once approved, you'll be a guest in the community and can earn access to features like messaging by inviting friends. Alternatively, you have the opportunity to become an Inner Circle member through a paid subscription. As a member you’re part of something bigger, with full use of the app to connect with the community, as well as invites to events. You’re not for everyone, you’re for someone. --- T&Cs --- Inner Circle is a subscription-based app and members who want to access all the features, or set different preferences, can subscribe for a membership.

Por que não fazem uma assinatura padrão com todos os recursos em uma quantidade. Quem quiser mais que compre ### 1/5 — Mal *2026-07-26, version 5.30.5* No pude iniciar sesión por ninguno de los métodos nunca llegó el código y al crear la cuenta tampoco llego código para confirmar la cuenta ### 1/5 — Bad registration experience *2026-07-12, version 5.30.5* I used this app 3 years ago and it was okay, so I came back today and was trying to register, I did the face verification and then added 6 few photos of mine, the app is saying that my verification doesn’t match my pictures but is absolutely me and all the pictures shows my face clearly and close up even so my guess is they use AI and the AI they use is very bad, the registration is stuck on this step and you can’t do anything else, I can’t delete my pictures or my registration, I can’t request for support, is completely stuck. Very bad experience, don’t bother. ### 1/5 — No matches *2026-07-12, version 5.30.5* 1 month of this app and I didn’t match with anyone, I will stick to IRL ### 1/5 — Feels like made up profiles. *2026-07-10, version 5.30.5* Not sure, these are real profiles. The response is extremely poor. ### 1/5 — Exceptionally poor app design and non existent support *2026-07-05* I have no idea how this app is marketed as being in any way “premium”. It is worse than any app I have used, including Grindr. For starters, you can’t filter by city without paying which means you have people from 0000s of miles away, who you will never even meet? This is just extortion in the form of an app, I haven’t ever come across a free version lacking this basic functionality, and how is anyone going to want to pay if they can’t even see a basic selection in their city. Secondly, the app support is absolutely awful. It won’t work in app, and so takes you to the browser. Again, not premium in the slightest. Then it takes you round in nonsensical circles with an AI chatbot that offers meaningless answers, that anyone with common sense could figure themselves . When requesting a human it asks you to fill out a form, despite having all your details on account, and promises an hour “within 24 hours”. Outside of services that are low cost, where you would expect basic customer service, I don’t come across customer service where an agent isn’t available immediately during business hours. I tried to ask for a one month free trial, in order to assess the usefulness of the app and got a completely generic AI answer that stated they point blank do not offer this. Where is the customer service? I don’t know what geographic market you’re targeting, but US and EU audiences expect something complete when it’s marketed as it is. Not a poorly designed app clearly just wanting you to part with your money for the supposedly better paid membership. **Developer response:** Hi aqsdfds, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear the app and support experience didn't meet your expectations. We understand your concerns about location filters, customer support, and evaluating Premium before subscribing. Feedback like yours is valuable, and we'll make sure it's shared with our product and support teams as we continue working to improve the experience. Enjoy your Sunday. ### 1/5 — Serious questions on private info data keeping *2026-06-18* Clicked to have my profile removed: they said it was… until I discovered through their emails asking me to keep my account active that it wasn’t. Also while using the app, didn’t respected my choices as basic as orientation: I am heterosexual and was getting messages from same sex when - I checked again - was not what I asked for. It is misleading for those who messaged me and not serious of this app. Once you fill your profile, you literally have to pay to check what it looks like to users and to make changes!!! That is probably the cheapest most ridiculous feature of this app. Avoid **Developer response:** Hi MAFS95, Thanks for your feedback. Please share more details via email at support@theinnercircle.com — your opinion matters and helps us make our dating app even better. Enjoy your weekend ahead ### 5/5 — Buenos perfiles *2026-06-11, version 5.30.2* Conexiones reales buenos perfiles me gusta ### 5/5 — Classy App *2026-06-11, version 5.30.2* Classy App, only used when single but I found the members the best of all the dating Apps ### 5/5 — Crackdown on ghosting *2026-05-24, version 5.30.1* I really like how Inner Circle proactively cracks down on ghosting by notifying users after 48 hours to either connect or kindly end the chat. I also like that it makes uses give a reason for ending the chat so the other person has closure and isn’t wondering what happened. ## Frequently asked questions about Inner Circle ### What is Inner Circle?
