### 1/5 — Waste

*2026-08-18, version 7.6*

This app is full of it.. FULL OF BOTS.. FAKE PROFILES.. DEVELOPERS AND TEAM NEED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS VERIFIED!!!.. EMAILED THEM SO MANY TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE.. SCAM LIKE MohanMatchMaking!!!!

### 1/5 — Banned for no reason; horrible customer service

*2026-07-23, version 7.4.1*

I was banned a few days after launching my account. I tried to appeal a couple times and have gotten no response. I’ve not done anything to violate the terms and conditions and no one is responding. Do not recommend using an app that doesn’t care for their user experience or answer questions.

### 3/5 — Needs fixes

*2026-06-26, version 7.4.1*

App is decent but WAY too many glitches….

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-06-03, version 7.4.1*

Worst dating app out there. Full of bots and scammers. Been like this for years and the devs won’t do anything. Stay away

### 1/5 — Dominated by bots

*2026-05-22, version 7.4.1*

not sure where all these profiles came from on here, but there’s a matches with no conversation….. It’s clear these profiles are mostly bots or sign ups that were done for the sake of showing user counts but there’s no actual interaction here. 

I had some high hopes for this app unfortunately it was a letdown. I’m open updating this review pending that someone from their support team reaches out to me and can actually just make sure my profile is setup correctly .

### 1/5 — Fake profiles

*2026-05-16, version 7.4.1*

Worrying the number of fake profiles on this app. Zero verification seems required. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Distance filter

*2026-04-16, version 7.4.1*

What’s the point of having a distance filter if it doesn’t work. This app is less terrible than Dil Mil but still needs work.

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2026-01-06, version 7.3*

All fake profiles waste of time and money lots scammers

### 1/5 — Broke after update

*2025-12-08, version 7.2.1*

Since the redesign, the app performs terribly on my iPhone 14. It’s jittery, lags on simple actions, and no longer feels smooth at all. The update came at the cost of basic usability, and it really needs a performance fix.

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD: FULL OF SCAMMERS

*2025-12-06, version 7.2.1*

My experience on Michi was alarming as my photos were used without my permission to talk to other people which is not surprising since there is no profile verification on the app.
