Also, the heart icon on the bottom of the toolbar shows I have likes but when I tap to open there’s nothing there. The Likes tab doesn’t work. ### 2/5 — Awful *2026-07-20, version 5.8.2* Very slow app that doesn’t even set the filters properly for location. From LA I set 20 mile distance but getting matches from Saudi … ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-06-21, version 5.8.2* This app is so good very nice to meet friends as well as looking for that special someone ### 5/5 — Dating app *2026-06-21, version 5.8.2* Great app!! Love the diversity of it!! ### 5/5 — Amazing app!! *2026-06-21, version 5.8.2* I’ve tried a few dating apps before, but Olive feels like it was made specifically for us. As someone looking for genuine connections within the Arab community, this app stands out in the best way. The interface is clean, modern, and super easy to navigate. Everything loads quickly and the design feels premium. Setting up my profile was smooth, and I love that there are options to highlight cultural background, language preferences (Arabic and English both work great), and what you’re actually looking for — whether it’s serious marriage-minded connections or just meeting new people. The matching is excellent. I’ve had way more quality conversations here than on other apps. People actually take the time to write thoughtful messages, and there’s a respectful vibe throughout the community that makes you feel safe and comfortable. The verification features and moderation seem to work well — I rarely come across fake profiles. What I appreciate most is how Olive balances modern dating with cultural sensitivity. You can be yourself while still respecting traditions and family values. The voice notes, video prompts, and detailed profiles make it much easier to get a real sense of someone before chatting. I’ve already made some great connections and met someone who shares my values and outlook on life. Couldn’t be happier. If you’re Arab or from the broader Middle Eastern community and want a dating app that actually understands you, download Olive right now. It’s refreshing, well-built, and genuinely effective. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ### 5/5 — Really good MENA app *2026-06-21, version 5.8.2* Love it works really good ### 5/5 — Community *2026-06-21, version 5.8.2* Olive dating is the perfect place to find a middle eastern match. I’ve enjoyed meeting people and connecting. ### 5/5 — Olive app *2026-06-20, version 5.8.2* This app is so easy to use and really well designed and their videos are funny too ### 5/5 — great 😊 *2026-06-20, version 5.8.2* awesome store ! :) 🩷 ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-20, version 5.8.2* I love this app because it helps with my preferences. I am always looking for someone who is close-minded in terms of culture, tradition, and language. It is very easy to navigate, and it’s great that I can also browse through the feed. ### 5/5 — Mena dating! *2026-06-20, version 5.8.2* Great for meeting like minded individuals with similar ethnic backgrounds. ### 5/5 — Do it! *2026-06-19, version 5.8.2* They are so nice!! ### 2/5 — scam or Ai *2026-01-17, version 5.5.1* most of the profile are Ai generated. i didnt see any real people on it 😏 ### 5/5 — Helped me get married! *2025-12-31, version 5.5.1* honestly didn’t expect much when I downloaded Olive, but it completely changed my life. I met my now wife on the app, and what started as casual conversations turned into something real so naturally. The app actually matches you with people who are serious and aligned, not just endless swiping. We’re married now, and I still laugh thinking it all started with a download. Forever grateful to Olive for bringing us together. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’m confused *2026-06-08, version 5.8.2* Mena and Muslim dating apps are just in a downward spiral. I had high hopes for this, but after months of use I never got a single match, but Salam’s and Baklava although haven’t found my partner yet my profile gets liked or viewed on the daily. Like I can’t even tell if my profile has even ever been visible to a single person I have no clue ### 1/5 — Not worth it /Please improve *2026-03-23, version 5.7.0* I know this is a new app so please try to take this feedback to improve the app. The subscription options are super expensive for what the app has to offer & for the quality of users on it. It’s a new app! What sky rocket the price like that! Navigating the different pages is not user friendly. Not sure what it is but not one profile is decent on this app! You re attracting quality users for some unknown reason & says something. If you don’t do something to improve the app you ll just end like all the other useless dating apps out there. Hoping that’s not the goal ! ### 1/5 — Hot... garbage *2026-02-14, version 5.6.0* Don't do it if you're Persian. They advertise this site to Persians but the owners do not really care about Persians just Persian money. Pretty in line with Huda beauty. Garbage app. You're better off going elsewhere to find love. ### 1/5 — Poor Review or Racism? *2026-02-05, version 5.5.1* I applied twice, I changed my photos to make them a little more wholesome the second time. And both times it said my profile wasn’t approved. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Frequent login errors and lost chats *2026-01-29, version 5.5.1* I’m a Black (paid) subscriber with high status, and unfortunately the app has been very unreliable. I’ve had repeated problems logging in, including an “invalid reCAPTCHA verification” error, and on top of that I’ve had chats disappear without explanation. That’s especially frustrating as a paying user. ### 1/5 — Beware *2026-01-08, version 5.5.1* The app is thee worst ever. I’m single Persian and it won’t let me sign up. I deleted it. ### 1/5 — Sign up doesn’t work *2025-12-19, version 5.4.0* Can’t create an account. If I try to enter my number I get a network error. If I try to use an email I get the same error. How does a P0 bug like this get to production? Seriously fix your app. ### 1/5 — Glitch issues? *2025-12-09, version 5.3.0* I can’t delete my account, nor can I log back in. Keeps saying error :( ### 1/5 — Unable to create account *2025-12-05, version 5.3.0* After spending time picking photos and filling in info wasn’t able to make an account. A glitch sends me back to step 1 every time. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-11-14, version 5.3.0* Waste of time app it’s a ghost town and have profiles that are like 5000 miles away ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mena2026 *2026-06-22, version 5.8.2* Excited to try ### 5/5 — Literally THE best *2026-06-22, version 5.8.2* Met so many cool people through the app. Love it!

I have referred others to it! ### 5/5 — My experience *2026-06-22, version 5.8.2* I love the app and the people on it ### 5/5 — Olive *2026-06-22, version 5.8.2* This app is great! ### 5/5 — Great concept *2026-06-22, version 5.8.2* Very cool way to meet like minded Arabs around you! ### 5/5 — I love the design of this app and how it caters to a various crowd! *2026-06-21, version 5.8.2* Very welcomed app for MENA folks! ### 5/5 — Great Palestinian owned dating app *2026-06-21, version 5.8.2* This app is great! So many cool people to meet and of course have to support a Palestinian owned company! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-21, version 5.8.2* Legit met my wife on here couldn’t be happier. ### 5/5 — Olive *2026-06-21, version 5.8.2* Great to Meet friends & find out about events! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
