I don’t like the interface, it’s sloppy and makes no sense. 2. You have to pay to verify yourself…..PAY! It’s free on other apps. 3. So far I haven’t figured out how to delete my account ### 2/5 — Attractive profiles, but who knows which are authentic *2023-09-26, version 1.0.48* Strangely, the company has decided to monetize verification, seemingly adopting the Musk method. It’s almost as if the company wants you to assume that their platform is filled with bots as a perverse way of pushing a backwards model. Who knows which profiles are real and which are bots. Annoyingly, there’s no knowing whether the profiles are of active members as that information is withheld. Meh ### 4/5 — Best Dating App Ever? *2023-02-21, version 1.0.46* The best dating app ever... ok maybe not ever, but still really good. Northwest Dating App is awesome because it matches you with local singles only and it has AI to detect any bots or fakes. It's so easy to use and it helps me save time when looking for someone special. Highly recommend trying it‌      ‍ ### 4/5 — Great New Dating App *2023-02-20, version 1.0.46* Northwest Dating App is really good. It's super easy to sign up and I'm already matched with a few interesting people. The user database is huge, so its fun to see new people everyday instead of swiping in on a small userbase like most alternative dating apps. IMHO the subscription seems like a good value. ### 5/5 — No Traffic Jams To Go On A Date *2023-02-20, version 1.0.46* Finally found an app that doesn't just match according to distance but also takes into account traffic around cities so I'm not wasting time getting stuck in traffic jams just for a date. Thanks Northwest Dating App!

With Northwest Dating App, everything is streamlined and efficient - just what I need when trying to meet new people. It would be cool if you could match with people on other dating apps too using this app please.‌ ‌ ​ **Developer response:** Hello, Thanks for the positive feedback ❤️ Meet more people on our new Web Portal at NorthwestDatingApp.com/signup, which already includes video chat & groups.

Plus, it has a huge user database so there's plenty of people to choose from.

I love the AI that it uses to detect bots and fakes, which is a huge plus for me. The app matches me with local people only, and it's been a great way for me to meet some new people in my area. Easy to use and time saving - highly recommend  ​ ### 4/5 — Highly Recommended New Dating App  ‍    ‍ *2023-01-09, version 1.0.46* I've been using Northwest Dating App for a few weeks now and it's already helped me meet some really cool people in my area! I love the AI feature that detects fakes so that all the profiles are real, plus it's very convenient since the users are local. Highly recommend! ​ ### 4/5 — SWEET Matches ‍ *2022-11-01, version 1.0.46* I'm a decent looking person, but dating apps haven't really yielded the best results. Everyone on Tinder seems to just swipe based on the pictures. I like that this app lets you record pictures, videos, and set important filters like drinking, drugs, politics, etc. I would like if they added a way to boost your profile, but I think they automatically boost it when you pay.‍  ​ **Developer response:** Hello Siegel, Thanks for the positive feedback ❤️ We'll definitely talk as a team about adding creating a boost for your profile. Great idea! It would probably need to be a paid feature. Meet more people on our new Web Portal at NorthwestDatingApp.com/signup, which already includes video chat & groups.

Good luck 👍 ### 5/5 — Best Security Of Any Dating App  ‍ *2022-10-31, version 1.0.46* I got banned when I tried to sign up from Atlanta. I guess they only let you sign up if you're in the Northwest. They unbanned me when I got back to Seattle and gave me free Pro for a week. Best customer service and I like that they keep everyone local.  ‍     ‌ **Developer response:** Hello, Thanks for the positive feedback ❤️ The app is just for real local singles around the Northwest! To keep it real and local, we've banned more than 25,000 signups so far. Check out our tutorials for matching tips: https://NorthwestDatingApp.com/tutorial. Good luck 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy and no customer service *2025-02-04* I signed up for the app about a week ago. Due to a glitch, however, I was unable to save any pictures in my profile. I have filled out a customer service request twice and emailed the customer support service. No response. I’ve tried to fix it myself many times but no luck. The app is attractive and looks like a great option if it works for you. But it is glitchy and you can pay for a month for an unusable service with no support. Buyer beware ### 1/5 — Immediately banned after signing up *2023-08-14, version 1.0.48* Got banned in less than a minute after signing up. Most likely they had the absolutely brilliant idea to ban everyone who doesn’t have a local area code on their phone number. Never mind that people move here for work all the time. ### 1/5 — Banned immediately without cause *2023-08-10* I created an account, swiped less than ten times, and got notified I was banned and had to email them for assistance. I hadn’t even made a connection. It took longer to create my profile than I got to use it, so I’m not going to waste my time trying to get my account reinstated. That is unfortunate, as I was looking forward to trying a local area app. I see other reviews that they ban so many people, but it sounds like you need better filters in place rather than just banning everyone. **Developer response:** ❤️ Hello Khugo, Most dating apps are FULL of fakes, scammers & bots. This app is just for real local singles around the Northwest! To keep it local, we've banned 30,000+ signups. If you ever notice a profile that you have questions about, just send a report on that profile and we'll be happy to take a look. Looking forward to earning your 5 star review 👍 ### 1/5 — It’s a scam *2023-03-14, version 1.0.47* They will text you from fake account to make you subscribe, do NOT subscribe or pay it’s just fake accounts they created ### 1/5 — Banned *2023-02-25, version 1.0.47* Banned after minutes of use. No contact or chatting with anyone. Why was i banned. Waste of effort. ### 1/5 — Banned? *2022-10-30, version 1.0.46* Swiped on about a dozen profiles, after going through the entire setup process. Talked to absolutely no one and got banned… ? Waste of time so far, pending email back from their support team, may change/delete this review. As of right now, usability makes this app just as undesirable as the other “big dating” apps out there tinder, hinge, ect. ### 1/5 — Looks good, but doesn’t work for me *2022-01-02, version 1.0.44* The concept is great and I loved the fact the you could choose which neighborhoods you would like to match with, but when I choose neighborhoods I get an error message saying “ the operation couldn’t be completed and those Areas can’t be found. It’s a shame, I was excited to try it, but they have some serious bug issues. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2021-12-09, version 1.0.42* Won’t even let me make a profile without crashing ### 1/5 — Customer service is horrible *2021-07-10, version 1.0.38* I recently moved to Seattle and they banned me because I didn’t have a Seattle area code..I am not gonna change my phone number just to use a app, it’s ridiculous. There is good options and a good app just horrible customer service ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2021-05-31, version 1.0.37* They force you to purchase their pro membership in order to use the app. Also, the developers replies are robotic. No real customer service ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Local Love Connections Made Easy *2023-12-07* Finally, a dating app that understands the importance of keeping it local!
