Somehow Worse Than the Dating Apps Everyone Already Hates
Loosid somehow manages to be particularly bad even by dating-app standards. Not only does it limit how many free likes you can send per day, it actually limits how many people you can pass on, which is absurd. Apparently even rejecting profiles is now a premium feature.
The “free trial” is equally ridiculous: a measly three days, and it doesn’t even give you unlimited likes. So it barely functions as a trial of the paid product at all.
This would already be obnoxious on a major dating app with a huge user base. On a smaller app like Loosid, where the dating pool is naturally much thinner, it makes even less sense. You’re already accepting fewer potential matches by leaving the mainstream apps, and Loosid responds by putting additional restrictions on your ability to simply browse them.
Dating apps are already notorious for hostile monetization, but Loosid somehow finds a way to make the experience feel even more nickel-and-dimed. A remarkably bad product strategy for an app that needs more users, not more reasons for people to delete it.

Pros n cons.
I absolutely love the idea of this app. It’s for all of the right reasons too. But. Having said that, I’m finding that too many people have just one photo of themselves. One pic doesn’t get the job done. From me anyway.
Fake
A lot of fake accounts and scammers on this app.
It’s helpful
The app is helping me
Best app ever
Great features, I’m loving it!
Match
I can’t give new reviews yet because they haven’t match me with anybody yet so I can’t feel it that much but I hope you match me soon.
Failing
The app has such potential for those in recovery, but the moderators allow so, so many bots and fake accounts in that it makes overwhelms. The pool isn’t the largest due to the very nature of those participating, so adding a bunch of fakes really serves as a turn off. I’ll be leaving it once my initial subscription is up. Don’t waste your money too.

I Co-Founded This App. By Dating Me You Assume the Risk and Waive All Liability. But Please Date Me.
I cofounded Loosid with MJ and Zhanna. I’d like to hear your thoughts, suggestions, ideas, concerns and angry outbursts.
Waste of time
Nothing but scam bots and abandoned profiles
Good app
It works well
Frustrating
The app itself works fine. The quality of men was very disappointing. Truly no different than any other dating app. Ho hum.
Should be free
Loosid should be free to see likes and not have to pay to see likes
Don't bother
In response to the developers response to me… I think the word "organically" is the operative word here. What I experienced was when "liked" somebody they were not notified that I liked them unless they had a paid account. If I happened to come up in their feed and they happened to like me - then honestly, I don't know what would happen then because it never appeared to happen. I am not an unattractive woman, and I have a lot of time in recovery - and I found it kinda hard to believe that not one person in months showed any interest in me whatsoever. I think when I stopped paying, I stopped seeing anyone who liked me as well. And when I contacted Support to find out why I was getting no responses, I was offered Therapy, which I also found kinda offensive. All I know is there was something up with the algorithm because I'm on a few dating sites and this is the only one where I never connected with anyone.

Response from developer
Hi Gr8fl86! We'd love to clear this up because Loosid Dating is completely free to download and use! You can like, pass, match, and chat 100% for free. While we do offer optional subscriptions to enhance your experience, they are not required to connect with people. If you give someone an organic like, and you pop up organically in their feed and they like you back, you will instantly match and can start chatting for free! Please reach out to us at support@loosidapp.com so we can guide you through this and help you get the most out of the app. We can definitely get this sorted out for you!
literally the only good dating app lol
i was so sick of having to explain why i don’t drink on regular dating apps, so finding this was a lifesaver. it’s SO nice to swipe on people who actually get it and are on the same page.
Broken
Every time I try to open messages the app crashes and says it has to restart
Hmmm …
Well, here’s what I think. I think they went out of business. They are not answering emails and you can’t call them anywhere. If anyone has a number for them, I would appreciate if you would post it. All emails are getting bounced back.
This app sucks
The algorithm used for this app is absolutely awful. I have 85 likes and my life count never goes down even after swiping left on like 100 profiles. Haven’t had a single match. They are basically trying to strong arm you into buying the upgrade by not showing you a single person who likes you. Don’t even bother with this app. It’s worse than any other dating app in terms of the algorithm.

Trouble
I keep getting lines but never can see who has this crush on me.,,
Yet another dating app
Just another garbage dating app, if you've tried other ones it's the same junk experience as all of them have. This one is probably a bit worse as far as the UI and how little control you have over your profile. Crazy they expect people to choose to donate money to them for this.
Hmmm …
Just started, and I am trying to be patient. But not one response so far after two days.
