### 2/5 — Can no longer access

*2025-03-31, version 6.0.10*

Update: algorithms are jacked.  Live in Texas with 25 mile radius and JD is suggesting people in PA, WI, OH, even south Texas, etc.   Friends reporting same issue.  Not paying for this service until these basics are fixed. 

Since the major overhaul, I’m unable to access the app.  I’ve deleted and reinstalled. I’ve changed password.  I get message that I can’t connect to the server.   Maybe it’s a blessing, since I’ve never had luck on this site.  Must be paying member to see any messsges (explains why I feel ghosted) and there are rarely new members.  The matchmaker service is a ploy to increase revenue on our wallets.

### 4/5 — You forgot Baseball! ⚾

*2025-03-09, version 6.0.7*

So glad you finally updated!! Ummm... you forgot to put Baseball in your Sports category.

### 2/5 — Preference search control

*2025-02-18, version 6.0.5*

I’m glad for some of the new changes that was made to your app and website interface but taking out the option for us the users to control our preferences is the worst decision ever made. I only have 5 matches and they are same faces showing up. Your previous options where I could get to see a list of people in the region of my search preferences was the best . Now I get to see who you decide to make me see when I’m the one paying and looking for a relationship not YOU !!!

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2025-01-11*

I’ve reached out to support 7 times and unsubscribed each time - they will not delete your data - This company is breaking privacy laws. It’s January 2025 today. In 2001 I created a JDate account. I deleted my data and account several times. Most recently last week. I’ve not been dating over 4 years, and off this platform since 2003. I hear from friends and family here and there that my photos are being used and that I’m marked as “active” on this site. Again, last week I started getting emails from JDATE about dating tips. I responded again stating I’ve deleted my account and data. They’ve emailed me back a long list of personal data requests to confirm my identity to remove me from the platform. I’m married. I warn everyone not to share their data with JDATE - This is a dangerous platform to share data. Don’t risk your photos - you’ll be “active” and online as long as they keep using your photos - for me it’s over 20 years and they’re still doing it. Attention 20 year old girls - I’m in my 40’s and I’m not online - I’m married - but JDATE will show you I’m online and “active” despite the fact I’ve deleted my profile and they’ve confirmed they removed my data. FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear this! Please reach out to our customer support team again, and we will promptly check your account to identify and resolve the issue. Thank you!

### 1/5 — JDate App

*2025-01-04, version 5.2.5*

The app won’t open. I’ve deleted it and downloaded it again and it just stays on the branding logo and won’t go past that.

### 1/5 — Just. Doesnt. Work.

*2024-12-25, version 5.2.5*

Often times it just doesn't work. Not a whole lot to say after that.

### 1/5 — Don’t Waste your Money

*2024-12-06, version 5.2.5*

You will never ever ever find a match on this website. If you do, I will personally give you $100,000! Not only our most profiles fake but this is a place for exploitation and nobody is interested in any dating or anything related to dating. This website is made for people who want to see who else is there and that is the most you’ll get from it!

### 3/5 — App keeps crashing after iOS update

*2024-11-29, version 5.2.5*

App keeps crashing every time I have tried to open it after most recent iOS update. You should investigate and get an update out there.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2024-11-14, version 5.2.5*

No one is on there. It's just full of bots and the price is obscene.

### 2/5 — Unable to access app

*2024-11-10, version 5.2.5*

I don’t know how this is as a dating site because even after 15 attempts, I cannot pass their AI captcha even though I am selecting the right answers. I even tried to click on the accessibility to get a different test but the link doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-11-06, version 5.2.5*

You have to pay $60 to open messages so it’s basically pointless unless you pay me and you can’t even see if it’s worth it.

### 1/5 — Best dating app

*2024-10-30, version 5.2.5*

This hands down has the potential to be #1 for Jewish dating.  I don’t understand why the developers are so greedy that they want to charge you for just messaging!!!! You can’t even text your matches, how ridiculous is that.

### 1/5 — Completely broken

*2024-10-27, version 5.2.5*

- Wouldn’t show images
- Kept setting my DOB to 1969
- Kept crashing followed by sign-in errors
- Demanded all manner of information as mandatory

Wouldn’t bother until the app has a major overhaul.

### 1/5 — PAY TO CONTACT PEOPLE

*2024-10-27, version 5.2.5*

You can’t even contact customer service. There’s NOTHING unless you shell out $60 for a month or $16/mo for a whole year! DON’T DO IT!!!

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2024-10-15, version 5.2.5*

The filter doesn’t work. You will see everyone instead of filtered results.

### 1/5 — Not even worth $1

*2024-10-11, version 5.2.5*

If they’re going to be charging $60/month, the app shouldn’t feel like it was created in 2006. There’s no way to talk to anyone for free. I’m amazed this app still exists.

### 1/5 — The worst

*2024-10-08, version 5.2.5*

Impossible to log in or to reset password. Why is this app in the store anyway?

### 2/5 — Not worth the price

*2024-10-01, version 5.2.5*

App works terribly. I wish I could get my money back honestly. From the tech side of the app to the selection of people. I paid for a 3 month subscription and unfortunately was a waste.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — What’s happened to Jade?

*2025-04-15, version 6.0.10*

Can’t see people

### 1/5 — Insufficient options. Overpriced

*2025-04-05, version 6.0.10*

Not impressed. Why on earth does this app allow men to not upload their photos. I want a refund

### 1/5 — A truly awful app

*2025-03-06, version 6.0.7*

This app is unusable without paying a heap of money for it and it signs me out randomly even after that. No one responds (though that’s pretty common). If you want to meet Jewish people and fall in love, try joining a synagogue.

### 1/5 — App review

*2025-02-27, version 6.0.5*

Very poor design, freezes up. The old App was better.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-02-22, version 6.0.5*

I’ve made an account and tried to log in about 10 times on my app. The app each time gives me an error message. I’ve deleted it and tried again and again. It will let me login and then do nothing from there. I’ve deleted the app and redownloaded it.  Can’t even try the app to see if I like it.

### 1/5 — New Jdate’s site

*2025-02-22, version 6.0.5*

Not user friendly at all. The format is limited and doesn’t allow easy communication.
Disappointing!

### 1/5 — Not inclusive

*2025-02-20, version 6.0.5*

I was very excited to try out this app, however upon indicating a non-standard sexual orientation, the app proceeded to crash and wouldn’t allow me to finish creating my profile. Sad to see the app creators do not support the LGBTQ+ community.

### 1/5 — From bad to worse

*2025-02-17, version 6.0.4*

The app was not the most advanced and lacked others in ease of use. However, it became even worse after the recent upgrade.

### 1/5 — Don’t purchase!!

*2025-02-17, version 6.0.4*

Don’t purchase- they just revamped it, and it looked like it was gonna be better, but it really isn’t user-friendly and the people on it don’t seem very serious. And even though you set up your settings, they don’t actually work.

### 1/5 — The devs don’t seem to care

*2025-01-11, version 5.2.5*

I keep reading about the failure of this app and  devs don’t seem interested in 
fixing it. Why should I use it.

### 5/5 — Happy married !

*2024-12-08, version 5.2.5*

We met on Jdate 10 years ago and got married 3.5 years ago. Jdate helped us to find each other when we were going through a very difficult time. We are very happy together. Thank you JDate!

### 5/5 — App not working

*2024-05-02, version 5.2.5*

Can’t get into my app.

### 5/5 — Crashes every time

*2018-08-07, version 3.0.33*

This version is unusable, any time I click on a profile the app crashes.  I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, as well as closing all other apps and rebooting the phone; nothing has resolved the issue.

I’m a subscribing user, so this is extra frustrating considering I’m paying for access.

### 5/5 — Jdate

*2018-01-21, version 3.0.18*

New format which only covers small location sucks I’m getting off at end of month

### 5/5 — Jdate

*2017-06-25, version 2.12.11*

Amazing way to meet single Jewish women

### 5/5 — Oy vey

*2017-01-14, version 2.12.7*

🔯

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-07-30, version 2.7*

Good app to meet Jewish singles

### 5/5 — Jdate

*2015-04-05, version 2.5*

I think out of the emails that I received around 85% of scams .
There are more fake accounts on that system then I've ever seen on any other. And it's really interesting to expose. They will use some very handsome good-looking man to message a woman. But what they say is interesting they will use the terms "hello beautiful,"
"Hello pretty " although their spelling will not quite be correct.

Had many said that they were based in Syria in the army? American bases in Syria? then they will give you an immediate Skype address or a email yahoo account to contact them. Latino names on the email accounts others African Nigerian. Please be aware these are scam accounts . It's very simple they have a very long relationship online with somebody and then sit to meet somebody and at that point they will want money !!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-01-26, version 2.2*

Great way to meet other singles all around the world. App is simple to use as well.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2013-02-03, version 1.1.3*

At last they made one for Jdate it works perfectly fine on my iPhone 4 no problems

Great app :)
