Don’t waste your time or phone space with this app

Pretty wild to me that users get absolutely NOTHING out of this app unless you pay for a subscription. You can’t even see who has liked you. And it won’t allow you to update your name (I put ‘xx’ because they wouldn’t accept my first name when I started my profile).

Don’t bother downloading this app- just go use JSwipe or just about any other free app where you can adjust your preferences easily. Facebook dating is better than this app/site.

Response from developer

Hi R.Sil, Disappointed to hear this. Free members can still like, match, and message their matches at no cost — seeing who liked you first is a Premium feature. For the name that wouldn't save, support@jdate.com can get it corrected on your profile.

Horrific and here’s why

I just joined this app for the first time. Seems as if both customer service and IT support and app development have left the buildiITpletely. not only did I get the highest paying to your account at clocked in at $200 annually. I found very quickly startling revelations. First and foremost, the most important one preferences that I selected from my partners to be filtered out are not filtered out. If you want to test it, you can see for yourself for example unselect orthodox Jews from your preference and you’ll still get orthodox Jews in your list. Secondly, as the highest paying to your account, they limit your intros to 20 intros and make you buy more which is audacious to say the least. Lastly, their customer service section icon leads you to enter a chat at which point you submit your grievance or request and you get an error message that says the ticket system doesn’t function. As far as I’m concerned, unless these things are responded to publicly in some sort of social media campaign announcement via the ex platform or basic news to make people understand that this app is no longer primarily supported by the developer. I highly recommend that you don’t subscribe to the services and look elsewhere. They also limit you from entering your social media information, cell phone, information and other app communication usernames by means of AI filtering. They force you to be on the platform and utilize their platform for communications relying on you to pay for it subsequently I’m more than positive. They also don’t permit the party that you’re liking to respond to you and kind without having a paid account as well. I haven’t confirmed that last part but given the situation I’m more than positive that that’s the case. Those of us who have our safety concerns met and have established separate telephone numbers and specialized apps to function and guard our protection while enabling communication do not require apps to govern our security, and in fact we do require us or rather them to ask us these questions so that our security concerns are met in a more appropriate fashion. Like many other apps this app is simply a way for a company to collect data on people and make money simultaneously.

Response from developer

Hi NyNate718, Thanks for trying Jdate — disappointed to hear this hasn't started well. Once you match with someone, messaging is free and unlimited for both members, paid or not, so you're not blocked from replying. For the preference that isn't filtering as expected and the ticket error you hit, reach us at support@jdate.com, and we'll look into your account directly.

Would Not Recommend

The app requires you to log in every time it’s closed, and it will randomly suspend user accounts if they remain inactive. Of all the dating apps I’ve tried (JSwipe, Tribe, Lox Club, Hinge, and others) this one has been the worst by far. And these are only a few of the many issues I’ve experienced with the app. I hate to leave such a negative review for a dating app dedicated to a cause I truly believe in (Jewish dating), but my experience has been so disappointing that I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through the same frustrations, especially given the lack of customer support.

Response from developer

Hi Josh_R. We're disappointed to hear this — and we hear you on support, so let's start there: our team can be reached directly at support@jdate.com and would want to look into both the repeated logouts and the account issue you described. You clearly care about Jewish dating, and we'd like the chance to make your experience live up to that.

Data manipulation

After using and observing this app for some time now and talking to my friends who used this app, I can say with full confidence that they’re playing a dirty game by not showing the full options of the members and limiting them so you’ll keep your membership as long as possible. I do not recommend this app.

Hi Cpjuices, We're disappointed to hear this is your impression. We'd love the chance to address your concerns directly — our Support team is always happy to walk you through how our features work. Please don't hesitate to reach out!

Waste of money

I thought paid sites should give something in return for the money people spend. Turns out they are happy to take your money and not give anything in return. The pool of available matches is very small. To compensate for this they give you prospects from other provinces. The settings do not matter. You can set a distance for 20 miles from Toronto and get ALL prospects from QC or MB. If they happen to be in Ontario they come either from Ottawa or Windsor that by any measurements are much further than 20 miles from Toronto. There is no “satisfaction guarantee”, and once you paid you can’t get your money back. Very poor business practice and very poor site. Completely disappointed!

Response from developer

Hi Yuri_olh, we appreciate the honest feedback and are disappointed to hear this fell short. Your distance setting does help shape who you see, though recommendations can widen when local activity is low. For billing questions, subscriptions are managed through whichever platform you signed up on (Apple, Google, or the web), and our support team at support@jdate.com can walk you through the specifics for your account.
