## What is Ishq?

ISHQ, an invite-only community for high intentioned South Asians.

Ishq is a dating app for the South Asian population who are looking for their person. Ishq requires prospective members to apply, after which the Ishq team sets up calls with each applicant to learn more about them. This vetting process is unique to our app, and allows us to maintain a very high quality of profiles on the app. 


After being accepted into the Ishq community, you'll be free to sign into the app and set up your profile. Here are some unique features that are not found in the stale space of South Asian dating apps:

Focus on just one: Match with one person at a time, so you can really focus instead of balancing multiple matches

Schedule time to chat, face to face: Messaging back and forth can lead to breaks in continuity, so we've implemented a mechanism to schedule FaceTime calls with your match.

In-depth profiles: The prompts on Ishq are meant to get you thinking about yourself and communicate who you really are, what your values are, and what you're looking for.

### 1/5 — Dont Use

*2026-08-27*

Please dont download the app. I dont understand why there is an aggregate of 4 star reviews when there are so many 1 star reviews. 
They make you pay before you even bold a profile. And there are barely ~30
People there. There is no special algorithm. The app literally has no special features to offer for the money you pay. Just aesthetics and marketing.

### 1/5 — Lot of issues

*2026-08-26*

Based on my experience, the platform did not feel worth the subscription cost. Many of the profiles appeared unusually generic or inactive, which gave me the impression that some may have been created primarily to populate the platform during its early stages. I also found the overall level of user activity quite low, making it difficult to find meaningful matches.

Another drawback is that the platform requires payment relatively early in the sign-up process, before you have much opportunity to evaluate the quality or activity of the user base. For me, this resulted in poor value for money.

I would encourage prospective users to carefully review the platform, its refund policy, and the level of activity in their area before purchasing a subscription. Based on my experience, I would personally recommend exploring other, more established alternatives.

### 2/5 — Not enough options/matches

*2026-08-24*

To be paying for an app, there are way less people to even be able to match with. Why is the point of this app?

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-08-22*

I tried the app for one month… But within the first couple of days, I had no options to swipe based off of my very minimal criteria. Either a lot of people do not use this app or the app just does not give quality. Either way slightly disappointed because this was the last time I was gonna try any more dating apps

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-08-17*

Theres not enough people on the app for enough matches. Had a profile for over a month and I got zero matches. I dont even think I’m uninteresting or low effort, the matchmaking is just so bad.

### 1/5 — Not possible to search by distance

*2026-08-03*

Filters only allow you to search by age and religion. You cannot search by filter. Expected more from a paid membership.

### 1/5 — Not recommended

*2026-07-28*

U can’t do anything without subscribing waste of time

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-07-24*

First up, they charge you $30 (as a monthly recurring payment) to make a profile. Then once you make a profile, they force you to share the app three times before you can use the profile.

I’ve been on the app for a month. I don’t claim to be the most beautiful person in the world but I’m at the least a decent looking dude. Not one match. Wasted money. Wasted time. Now my self esteem is in the trash. Thanks, Ishq.

### 1/5 — Unimpressed

*2026-07-14*

This app charges you to sign up, and then forces you to invite three friends before you can use your profile. AFTER paying. There are no options to filter for my area, apologies but I’m not interested in long distance dating strangers. Waste of money and time.

### 1/5 — Couldn't get it started

*2026-07-08*

Signed up, replied to their emails, still couldn't get approved 3 weeks later. So much for intentional dating.
