Good idea on paper but poor execution.

This app overall is not worth the money. You pay 25-35 a month for potential matches, potential being key word. I have been using this app on and off and I just can’t get over the fact that I think the value is just not there. I’m not paying half my phone bill/ 300 dollars a year towards this service. I’ve tried to give this app a chance and have been using it on and off, but it keeps proving why I decide to get off of it in the first place.
Refund policy is pretty bad, if you received potential matches you are ineligible for a refund, so sometimes they give you poor “matches” clearly against what you’re looking for, so you can’t get a refund. I’ve seen other reviews talk about it too.
I like features of matchmakers. And the idea of swiping not being part of the app and genuine connections. I just feel like it wasn’t for me and I use different apps that I feel are worth the value. I won’t say specific apps to be respectful.
I think this app is a waste of time, energy and money. I think you’re better off taking that 25-35 dollars a month, and saving it towards mahr, or a different service, (which I have done. I haven’t found a spouse or potential partner yet but the experience has been way better.) , or just take that 25 and put it into sadaqah and increase your status in jannah. Thats how much I don’t think this service is worth it. Three to six “potential” matches a month isn’t good enough for people actively looking to get married. There is still a lot of factors that go into getting married and waiting a long time just to get a potential match isn’t worth it to me. I even deactivated my account, they released a new feature where past members can still be involved in matches, but not a priority, which is pretty meh. A poor attempt to get you back on the platform. I didn’t respond to the email, they personally opted me in without me doing anything, and now I get emails that they couldn’t find me a match. lol like cmon. No hard feelings.
May Allah ease our efforts to get married.

Paid Subscription, But No Relevant Matches
I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with this app was very disappointing.
The onboarding process takes a long time, with countless questions about your values, lifestyle, and spouse preferences. You naturally assume that all of this information will be used to provide high-quality, compatible matches. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience.
After paying for a subscription, I waited nearly 20 days and received only three matches. Two of them did not meet one of my clearly stated non-negotiable preferences (wearing hijab), and the third was from another country, even though I was looking for someone in the United States. Calling these “potential matches” doesn’t make sense when they ignore the basic preferences I specifically provided.
Another issue is transparency. The App Store listing doesn’t make it obvious that many of the app’s core features require a paid subscription. Users spend a significant amount of time completing the profile, only to discover at the end that they need to pay. After investing both time and money, I expected much better results.
I’ve used other Muslim matrimonial apps that provide more relevant matches and better value. Based on my experience, this app did not meet my expectations, and I can’t recommend paying for a subscription unless the matching system becomes much more accurate and transparent.

Cancellation is so difficult
They randomly send you a match each drop and the same unserious ppl on other apps. Some matches don’t even reply. The worst part is you won’t easily cancel your subscription abd they’ll keep charging your card. Even canceling the card with your bank won’t work. Very disappointed with this experience.

Do NOT WASTE YOUR TIME
I had really high hopes for InPairs, especially because I knew about the founder from the very early days. I even tried helping by exploring collaborations with local masjids here in Vancouver because I genuinely believed in the vision. That’s why writing this is disappointing.
The experience, however, has been nowhere close to what is promised.
First, waiting an entire month just to receive a match is already a long time. But the bigger issue is that when the matches finally arrive, they don’t resemble what is described in the app or what my preferences indicate. They honestly feel automated as if an AI is simply matching keywords from profiles and intentions rather than evaluating real compatibility between two people.
The app markets itself as a halal matchmaking platform that carefully curates some of the best possible matches. That promise is what makes people choose InPairs over apps like Muzz or Salams. People come here because they are serious about marriage, not because they want to endlessly swipe through profiles.
Marriage is one of the biggest and most life-changing decisions a person will ever make. When someone trusts your platform, they are trusting you with something incredibly important. That trust deserves effort.
Instead, the matches I’ve received make it feel like I’m just being shown the leftover crowd with little or no thought put into why we would actually be compatible. That’s a terrible feeling after waiting an entire month.
If I simply wanted random introductions, I could have gone to Muzz or Salams and swiped through hundreds of profiles myself. The whole reason people choose InPairs is because they expect human-level thought, curation, and compatibility, not an algorithm that appears to match profile descriptions.
I genuinely believe your matching process needs to be completely rethought. Either invest in significantly improving the algorithm or hire people who truly understand compatibility. Honestly, I would do a better job myself not just from a marketing perspective but from a matchmaking perspective as well.
Compatibility is not about matching a few profile descriptions. The easiest way to understand someone is by asking meaningful questions that reveal their values, personality, and outlook on life.
For example:
* What’s your favourite surah, and why?
* What are your thoughts on splitting household finances or bills?
* What does hijab mean to you?
* How do you resolve disagreements?
* What role should Islamic knowledge play in a marriage?
* What does leadership and partnership in a marriage look like to you?
You could also incorporate a validated personality assessment that identifies whether someone is compassionate, calm, analytical, emotionally expressive, conflict-avoidant, ambitious, and so on. Those insights are far more valuable than simply matching profile descriptions.
Right now, it feels like InPairs is selling the idea of premium, intentional, halal matchmaking while delivering something that doesn’t justify the wait or the expectations it creates.
I say all of this because I wanted this platform to succeed. I believed in it enough to advocate for it within my own community. But after experiencing it firsthand, I honestly can’t recommend it with confidence.
This feedback isn’t coming from someone who wants to complain. It’s coming from someone who genuinely believed in your mission and is disappointed because the product has so much potential but falls far short of what it promises.
Please take this seriously. People aren’t trusting you with a food delivery or a shopping purchase, they’re trusting you with one of the most important decisions of their lives. That deserves far more care, intention, and effort than what the current experience reflects.
