Don’t bother if you’re a man. Your application will be in limbo for years

Unless you’re hot or a woman then don’t bother downloading this app. You won’t get in at all for years. You are better off sticking with the mainstream dating apps 😒

doesnt work

the app doesnt even work, cant get past sign up! TERRIBLE

Found the love of my life!

Truly saved my life finding the one for me, thank you Laila!

Found my girlfriend

Tbh I had been on and off different dating apps but nothing worked. My friend recommended Laila because it was different. Well I now have a girlfriend and couldn’t be happier

Great concept but no anymore

Between waiting for a while for your application to get approved than having to subscribe for 9.99 a month after finally being able to use the app. i dont know which is worse . Now i am trying to delete my account

Response from developer

Thanks for sharing this — we appreciate you giving Laila a try, and we’re sorry the experience felt frustrating. We do have an application review step and a $9.99/month membership, both by design. Laila is meant to be a curated community focused on real, intentional dating, and these steps help us keep the quality high and the experience respectful for everyone. That said, we understand that waiting for approval and then seeing a paywall isn’t for everyone. You can delete your account at any time from Settings, and if you’re having trouble doing so or need help with anything else, please reach out to us at contact@laila.nyc — we’re happy to help. Thanks again for the feedback. It genuinely helps us improve.

Sounds great but major flaw

I love the idea sounds like a great app but you lost me when you insist that I have to give you full access to my phone contacts or it sounds like I don’t get “accepted” if you change this policy I would love to try again.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback — and we’re really glad the concept resonated with you. You’re absolutely right to flag this. Requiring full access to phone contacts was not intentional — it was a bug on our end. We completely understand why that would be a deal-breaker. The good news is that this has already been fixed, and the update will be released in the next few days with our upcoming app version. Once it’s live, you’ll be able to continue without granting full contacts access. We’d genuinely love for you to give Laila another try once the update is out. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to reach us at contact@laila.nyc . Thanks again for calling this out — feedback like this helps us make the app better.

Life changing

I just had the best date of my life. He’s hot AND has a better personality. 5 stars

Review

Amazing application!

Fun idea

I finally found an app where I can just go on a date and not have to go through all that small talk! There are some amazing date ideas on this app and highly recommend this app to anyone!

My new favorite app

You can post dates and people can reach out if interested. Straight to the point!

Stuck in bio page

Stuck in bio stage of signing up, wrote a bio, won’t let me click to the next page.

Response from developer

Hey! Thanks a lot for reporting this; we apologize for the inconvenience. We fixed this bug and released a new version today. You should be able to get through the onboarding once you update to the latest version. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback through contact@laila.nyc. Excited to have you in our community!!

How do I get. A referral code

Trying to a get full access to my account the app keep saying I should get a referral code and where did you want. Me to get all of this …kindly do the needful

I can’t try this app!

I wanted to give it a try but it will never send me the confirmation code on my phone number. Also why is phone number the only login method ? That’s very restrictive. Also why the very very first things that pops up in them app is request for push notifications? Really ? No splash screen nothing I don’t know what your app is about and you want to send me notifications? RED FLAGS. Means this app is not for quality but quantity. Won’t come back.
