### 1/5 — Useless!

*2023-03-11*

Looks like I should have read this page first! I joined LL via desktop web browser and paid for one month only (thank goodness!). 
Completely useless, buggy, crashing, spinning, stuck app. 
Whoever owns LL obviously doesn’t give a damn. 
After 2 weeks, I just cancelled my renewal. Bye!

### 2/5 — Shadow of its former self

*2022-09-07*

Lavalife was my go-to for online dating 20 years ago, and now that I’ve returned I’m somewhat disappointed. The app seems to have reasonable features, so the potential is there, but I must echo the reviews of others. The app is EXTREMELY buggy, and only loads on every 8-10 launches, and there are MANY times where it will not recognize my login data, only to randomly work after 3 or 5 or 12 attempts. The app spins/freezes when I attempt to purchase a subscription, so I never make it beyond the pricing screen and often have to restart the app. Seems the developers are don’t care much about the product, as I can’t even get past the login screen in a web browser on the actual website, so the issues extend far beyond the app. Sadly, the population on the platform is also very sparse. Had much better luck and experiences recently on Tinder, Bumble, and Plenty of Fish, so for those seeking try one of those instead. Sorry, LL.

### 1/5 — Scammer heaven

*2021-06-13*

Nothing but scammers on here ! This app used to be good but now it’s nothing but scammers that want you to use Hangout app ! And lavalife won’t even do anything about it !

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2020-05-01*

I made a purchase for a six month subscription turns out they’re app is full of bugs and won’t even load the screen it stays on loading and when you reinstall app it doesn’t recognize login info I had to password reset to try to get back in An I still haven’t. Don’t know how to get a refund or I would get
Back my $119 I paid so upset

### 1/5 — Can’t login and had some take all my private info

*2020-04-15*

Can’t get lava to even get back to me locked out can’t login and someone took all my personal info and using it in a very bad negative way. Thanks lava for doing nothing Still

### 1/5 — Gaand Maraaao

*2019-07-22*

Teri ma ki chuttttt
Muu mein Lund le le

### 1/5 — I’d give it 0 stars if I could

*2019-06-26*

Don’t even bother downloading this app.  There is no one on it/using it.  End of story

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2019-06-03*

This app is very buggy...JUNK!

### 1/5 — Not the Lavalife from the turn of the millennium

*2019-01-01*

I would vote zero stars, or report this company as thieves, but the possibility isn’t there.

I downloaded this app, remembering the cool connections that I made with people on the website with the same name, around 20 years ago.

The experience with this app, was in no ways analogous to my experience from the early 2000s.

Besides the fact that the app is super-glitchy, I subscribed and paid for 3 months; I was only able to access messages, and send messages for 1 month. I contacted Lavalife by phone to seek to regain access, and instead of looking up my account, and seeing what I paid and apologetically and preemptively crediting me, the representative “generously” granted me 2 days of access (on an account which had 15 more paid left days on it) to access the unopened messages. The 2 days didn’t work either.

Either they’re grossly incompetent, or they’re intentional rip-off artists. 

The representative pretended to not know if I had paid for more months. If a -tech- company can’t look up, and serve people who paid them, they deserve to go the way of the dodo.

I’m tending to think that the accounts that reached out to me might have been fake to sway me into not canceling after day one.

### 2/5 — Not syncing with website

*2018-09-10*

Information entered on the website is not syncing properly with the app. For example, when I update my profile on the website, the information does not sync with the app. This needs to be fixed.
