Blatant Scam

Before your profile is even fully setup you start getting a ton of likes and views and they play it off since you get a “boost”. However, nothing will come out of it. You will get a message from one of the many and have a conversation with them but they are purely leading you into purchasing a subscription. Multiple times in the conversation they will tell you they want to do more or hangout, so naturally you’d ask for their number or some other external form of talking to them because there is a timer on every conversation. If you ask for their contact they will not even acknowledge and keep burning time until the timer runs out. Leading you to want to buy the subscription to keep the conversation going. I’m not saying that there isn’t actually people on the other side but there interest is only upselling you. There’s probably some center where they send these conversations to so that you are talking to someone but it’s definitely not someone remotely close to you. All a part of the scam. And if you ask why this app is so highly rated it’s because the second you login it’s ask you for a 5 star rating without even touching a single feature. Most people won’t go back to change their rating since it’s inconvenient. Regardless I assure you this app is a scam and a waste of time at least for guy, I cannot speak for women’s experience.

Fraudulent App

I’m not the type to write reviews but I had to for this one. As we know all apps like these are pay to play. Fine. I bought the premium membership right away and realized by the end of the day that all the “females” iv matched with are fake and never log back in twice. They will speak like regular people and then force you to buy the “fun moments”, they will say they have to pay and it’s worth it if I buy it. Almost all the females I talked with end up saying the exact same thing, on top of that non of them are willing to hang out or give phone numbers, they just try to advertise to you so you spend more money on the app. So my assumption is that it’s all fraud by the company itself. Also most of the females reply with basic words and they also respond all at the same time. 5-6 girls at once will respond to what I said to them earlier. It’s all fake, but it looks real and gives you the real feel untill you realize what happened. I’m applying for a refund because this app is full of scammers and fake profiles. Oh did I mention that all the girls, literally all the girls have 9+ Fun moments listed on their profile. Like how is it possible that every single person on the app has the maximum “fun moments”? Yea right, this is all fake, also there is no photo verification required so that’s another problem. This app is hands down the worst scam I have come across.

Reported app, so not spend money in this scam

Just reported this app. It is very obviously a scam. There is absolutely no way this app would have a 4.7 star review with the way it functions, these reviews are clearly fabricated with fake accounts. There are also what seems like entirely fake accounts in the app. I allegedly get a new like every minute or so that I'm on the app, but of course can't see the likes unless I pay. Whenever I have gotten a match the girls have extremely generic bios, and don't really reply to what you are saying. I get a strong sense that the messages are AI generated, or someone that works for the app on the other side. Why? Whenever a chat "expires" (usually only a few messages after a match), the girl always messages something like "Are you still there?" immediately after it expires. They should not be able to message if the chat did in fact expire and there is a real person on the other side of the chat. I’ve also had a girl message “my number is” moments before the chat expired, when the users do not know when the chat is going to expire. It's undoubtedly the developers trying to get you to pay to continue the chat.

I haven’t paid for any features of this app so it is only very frustrating for me, meanwhile people that are spending money on this app are absolutely having their money stolen from them by this app.

Awesome app!

I’m usually not too into dating apps but hickey has changed my mind. First off I like how simple easy it is to navigate the app I was easily able to create a profile and navigate the app after downloading. Setting up my search with the various filters they offer was very helpful in finding people with my personal preferences that want to casually date. The different tags they allow in filters really helped me to find the matches I was looking for and made my search worth it! This app is great for someone who is busy and just wanting something fun on the side or for casual dating. Another thing that is noteworthy is the ability to find matches local to me which I find VERY hard on other apps I have tried out. It makes everything so much better knowing there are people in my area interested In the same things. I would definitely recommend this app to any of my friends looking for a good online dating app!

SCAMMM DONT DOWNLOAD, FULL OF BOTS AND EVERYTHING COST SOMETHING

I urge u to read this before you even think about downloading this dating app, let’s get started on the fact everything cost money, and are charge individually for certain perks, you can’t like people for too long without paying, you can’t swipe for too long without paying, you can’t view who liked you without paying, everything cost money, AND THEN WHEN YOU DO PAY IT DOESNT LET YOU DO MUCH, gives you about 5-10 more likes and that’s about it, and it doesn’t let you adjust or change your location without paying, doesn’t even have the option to choose people in my area, but there’s more.. I was in the 90th percentile for several times, I had gotten free boosts off that and everything and I get several hundred likes a day… I have 0 messages, no people I added, added me back, and when I did speak with a woman she was a bot, there’s a whole lot of bots in here it’s to the point you can’t even tell if the woman are real or not, yet they claim to have no bots, they are scammers, this is the worst dating app experience I’ve had, you minus well download yubo and see who you meet on there
