Real profiles regardless of filters, doesn’t immediately try to shove people far outside of preferences at you. ### 5/5 — Good starting out *2026-08-13, version 9.61.0* Very interesting interface slots of fresh faces though. I like to so far. I think women always outnumber men in these spaces ### 5/5 — Tris *2026-08-13, version 9.61.0* Great app ### 5/5 — Yep *2026-08-12, version 9.61.0* Good stuff ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2026-08-23, version 9.61.1* If you wish to be blackmailed by hackers using your public information and photos from your profile, this is the app for you. It happened to me and I laughed. I ignored them (as you should). They will want to try to take the conversation off site and send photos of themselves as bait to do the same. Sextortion is popular here. ### 1/5 — Regret trying it *2026-08-17, version 9.61.0* No good, will change if improves so far dissatisfied. ### 1/5 — Non accurate locations, not much action *2026-08-16, version 9.61.0* So I subscribed to plus to get some additional functionality. I had people who were less than 40 miles away read as being 250 miles away and people being 200 miles away as reading as 60 miles away. The only person I met was a pay to play hooker. If I wanna pay for sex, I’ll go to the local truckstop and pick up a lot lizard. ### 1/5 — Total scam don’t waste your money *2026-08-13* I pay for $65 subscription. It charges me $95 and now I can’t log into my account nor can I delete my account total scam don’t download! **Developer response:** Hi there, We're sorry you're dealing with both a billing issue and trouble accessing your account. We'd definitely like to help clear this up. Regarding the $65 vs. $95 charge, App Store subscriptions can sometimes be offered at different prices depending on the promotion or discount available to the account at the time of purchase. Discounted offers can also have specific eligibility conditions and may be limited in time. The price shown at checkout should be the price applicable to that particular offer. Please contact us at hello@instinctdate.app and share the details of the purchase so we can understand what happened. You can also check the exact transaction and amount in your Apple purchase history. As for your account, please tell us exactly what you see when you try to log in — for example, whether it says that your account is blocked, asks you to complete verification, shows an error, or something else. A screenshot would be very helpful as well. We'll take a closer look and help you get back into your account. Best Regards, Instinct Team ### 1/5 — Not able to deactivate *2026-08-12, version 9.61.0* The app shows require update while there is no update showing on ios. Now i am not able to deactivate the account ### 1/5 — Keeps looping *2026-08-12, version 9.61.0* When I try to update the app it keeps taking me to where it say this app needs to be updated. Terrible update glitch. ### 1/5 — Trap *2026-08-12, version 9.61.0* Girls talk to you then try to fake a post saying you’re a sex offender with your pics ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-08-06, version 9.60.2* Dont waste ur time ### 1/5 — Full of bots *2026-08-05, version 9.60.2* This app lets you swipe 10 times before it wants you to buy the membership. All the accounts are fake bots and not a single reply from anyone. Don’t bother wasting your time on this app it’s complete garbage. ### 1/5 — Avoid avoid avoid *2026-08-03* Absolute complete waste of time & money. Please don’t waste your money on this scam site. You’ll get some likes from African ladies 5000 miles away or if you believe the 25 year old 2 miles away is even real or remotely interested. 😆😆 It’s a complete con & scam, avoid at all costs. There should be a way to report these idiots & claim any payment back. Disgusting. **Developer response:** Hi there, We're sorry to hear that your experience was frustrating. The profiles you see in your feed are based on your search preferences, such as age, distance, and interests. At the same time, your profile can appear in other users' feeds if it matches their preferences. This means you may occasionally receive likes from people who aren't a good fit for you — and you can simply ignore or decline those likes. As for fake profiles, we absolutely do not support or encourage them. We use profile verification, automated and AI-powered moderation, user reports, and manual reviews to identify and remove accounts that violate our rules. If you've come across profiles that you believe are fake or suspicious, please report them through the app or contact us at hello@instinctdate.app with the details. We'd be happy to investigate. Best Regards, Instinct Team ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-27* Instinct has been a really enjoyable dating app to use.
