Might be worth it

Lowkey took a bit but I found my wife on here…

Must show political views

It’s very frustrating they force half of us to show our political views on our profile. While then other half who didn’t update the app get to continue to keep it off their profile. I want to date someone with similar political views yes. But in today’s polorizing political climate people assume so many things based off of the label conservative or liberal and I don’t want that judgment right away.
I’m conservative but I’m not some crazy MAGA guy which a lot of people will assume.

Why can we hide every other aspect on our profile but not that?

Also the political slide bars was one of the few things that mutual did better than every other dating app. Sad it’s gone.
I was fine having that show on my profile, instead of being placed in the conservative box.

Success

Met someone in person, but didn’t know they were interested until I swiped and encountered them on the app. Will be getting married to them soon and am super grateful I found out about our mutual interest through the app.

Terrible

App is just full of single mothers who still think they are the prize and mudsharks

Love it!!

Does exactly what it says!!

Eh

Eh

Not worth it

The app hasn’t been particularly useful for me, it seems that the only people who like my profile are from the Philippines, Cambodia, Brazil, or Ghana. There’s an option to only let people in your same country see your profile, but a quick conversation with the app’s AI help assistant reveals that the option doesn’t even do anything if selected.

Premium is far too expensive, and on top of that, it isn’t worth getting, because the only accounts that you will match with are from other countries.

The algorithm they use will frequently feel broken, as it will say that there are no profiles in the entire world, but after restarting the app you’ll be able to see accounts like normal.

The app is amazing

Job entry should not be optional

At this point in my life, I’m looking for somebody to meet me where I’m at. Especially in the LDS culture, I’ve noticed that there is a lot of I’m still living with my parents, I don’t have a job, I’m still searching for my purpose guys. If someone doesn’t have a job that should be clear from their profile. I’ve swiped down on every guy that doesn’t have their job listed. It’s important for me to know that I’m swiping on people who have a career or a job specially as I’m looking for marriage. We are in our 30s not dating for potential anymore

Just a money grab

You have to pay to really make any progress, and the premium plan cost is outrageous, even on the cheaper end. Kinda lame.

Super Happy!!!

Un éxito fabuloso al socializar y encontrar a la persona indicada

Poo

This app sucks

Review

Satisfactory

Why even try

I’ve been on this site multiple times and I’ve got a lot of dates and I’ve had long relationships but it seems like when things get hard. Nobody wants to sit down and try and talk and work things through. They just wanna give up.

Hinge > mutual

If you live in Utah, Mutual gets demolished by Hinge in every single way. Hinge has a better algorithm, better profiles, more serious users, and it lets you see every person who likes you. I get ten times the matches with ten percent of the effort on hinge. Mutual needs to up its game

Mutual is theoretically useful if you live outside of Utah, but the user base is so small and unserious that in practice it’s a waste of time

Mutual needs to make the app more useful for actually getting dates (for example, by allowing you to see the people who like you, limiting likes per day to a smaller number, forcing new users to make a quality profile, etc) if it wants to compete with the big dogs.

Great

An app of desperation made to frustrate you into paying money

If the intent of the creators is solely to create a frustrating experience that will drive users either off the app or to pay them money, it works. Notes from a male user:

They show your profile to an extremely limited number of people unless you pay a lot of money to “boost” your profile for just 24 hours. Of that small number of people most will be outside of your country, age range, or reasonable distance so you could never date them anyway, what’s the point?

Even when you have people in your “liked you” section it can be a huge number of swipes before they actually appear for you in your queue, so again unless you pay their exorbitant prices to see the people who liked you you are stuck wasting your time swiping through people just to clear your “liked you” feed. This for the maybe 2 likes you get in a week which, again, aren’t actually within your vicinity or age range so you can’t actually date them. Edit: they have since improved this one feature to where you can see one person a day, and that one person is still 90% of the time from a foreign country.

They are BEGGING at every turn for you to spend money on their product, which is fine, it’s a company, but given how much they charge and how they beg it gets ridiculous. You swipe down on somebody to say you don’t want to get to know them and it’ll go “you swiped down on X # of people who liked you this week, upgrade to avoid missing another match!” First of all, normally that X number is a lie as you won’t have even had that number of people on your “liked you” page all week. Secondly, I CHOSE TO SWIPE DOWN, that means I DON’T want to match with them regardless of if they want to match with me, why are you saying this at all??

In about two years of using this app I have gone on two dates from it. Most of the time the people you match with will have a short conversation with you and then give some excuse as to why they can’t go out any day of the week that ends in “day.” That’s not specifically a problem with this app, but when you combine it with how rarely you get a match in the first place it really becomes degrading and disrespectful of your time.

This app truly makes no effort to actually be an LDS dating app rather than just another dating app re-skinned as an LDS app. It suffers from the same errors of other dating apps with their primary motivation being to convince you to give them money and their secondary motivation being to make you KEEP giving them money, so why would they actually want you to match with someone you want to date and therefore stop using the app?

If you follow LDS teachings regarding businesses, like those in the Dec 2023 ensign issue “Making a living, making a life” by Lynn G. Robbins the people who make this app would fall into the C level with their sole motivator being money. Any appearance of quality or care for users in the app is the minimum amount they think they can get away with to make the maximum profit. If they could convince users to just give them money and never let them get any matches/dates at all, they would.
