### 3/5 — Great concept, too many bugs

*2023-01-17, version 2.0.7*

I love the idea, and I enjoy the app… when it works. It struggles to load pictures. The distance preferences also don’t seem to save. I get profiles from hundreds of miles away.

I hope these are easy fixes because I love the idea.

### 2/5 — Superrr slow

*2022-12-05, version 2.0.7*

After hitting heart or x it takes forever to get to the next person only to show that the photos of the next person won’t load. Not sure if it’s due the iOS updates or other issues. Could be a great app though if fixed!

### 5/5 — Playoff paying off

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

So far the app has been great getting connected with other athletes. I like how you have to prove that your a legit Tahiti even be on the site. I’ve been on a few dates and hoping that it will grow in the future. It’s a great idea!

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

Absolutely loved being able to meet other athletes on this app! Easy layout that makes sense and lots of potential matches to find!

### 5/5 — I love this app!!

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

The concept is awesome! It was always hard to find athletes on traditional dating apps. Playoff has made that super easy! Really excited to see where this app goes!!

### 5/5 — Playoff dating app

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

This app is a game changer for young collegiate athletes like myself! If you are a former or current college or pro athlete, or Olympic athlete…. I recommend you join now and start the journey to finding someone who understands you for you!

### 5/5 — Burgeoning App bound for success

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

I’ve used this since it’s inception. At the outset it didn’t have many athletes but I knew the concept could work.   Now it feels like any other dating app with volume and availability of “matches”.  And as an athlete it provides me with people that have exactly the right pre-requisites(also being athletes).   I expect even further growth and I will continue to use frequently, often in lieu of other dating apps

### 5/5 — Genius!

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

The idea behind this app is such a great idea. There’s no other dating app like it. It’s extremely unique. As an athlete dating can be so hard to find someone that fits your lifestyle. This concept solves for this in a beautiful and easy to use app. Love it! 🙌🏾

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

Very user friendly. Exactly what I have been looking for.

### 5/5 — Great concept!

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

Love the idea of this app!❤️

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

I think this is a great opportunity for single athletes to find a match that will understand and be able to relate to one another!

### 5/5 — Best Dating App!!

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

This app is such an amazing idea! As an athlete myself, I love meeting other athletes and this is the perfect place to do so!! Literally all athletes need to be on here!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome for athletes

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

Love this concept! Totally agree as an athlete that we just get each other better. Been waiting for an app like this one

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

This app is exactly what was missing from the athletic world!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.7*

Terrific app for athletes looking to meet other athletes. Very user friendly

### 5/5 — Meeting people should be a sport

*2021-08-10, version 2.0.7*

Finding like-minded people to connect with is hard. Playoff makes connecting with other athletes easier. Period.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Slow to load, no feedback

*2022-09-28, version 2.0.7*

The app is incredibly slow to load a new person, you have to wait 30-60 seconds for a new profile to load after you “bench” a potential match. There is also little to no feedback on if your profile is approved and made live. The main feed of potential matches doesn’t follow your preferences. I was shown people miles outside my preference and people well below my age preference. Why are you showing me 18 year old people when my preference is minimum 25?

### 1/5 — Worst dating app

*2022-03-16, version 2.0.7*

The first week app worked then had major problems. Originally could swipe and read profiles, now nothing appears. Take anyone who will pay. The elitist structure of only open to ex college athletes is strange, guess they want trickle down economics? The app has problems working and bugs. Anytime I open nothing appears, no people, no messages, no par messages, nothing!  Only people on app are those who work at company.

### 1/5 — Double charged premium membership with no access

*2022-02-12, version 2.0.7*

I have the premium membership and yet for some reason it is not letting me have access to the premium functions anymore. It also double charged me for the month.

### 1/5 — Lousy

*2021-07-31, version 2.0.6*

Not a fan. First of all, the app doesn’t adhere to the location settings you select at all so despite that my mileage is set to less than 35 miles away, most of the users shown are hundreds of miles away. Second, you can’t look or revisit a user’s profile if they match.

### 1/5 — Good idea, poor execution.

*2021-07-29, version 2.0.6*

Love the idea however it is full of bugs and glitches. It also rarely loads when you open the app and it doesn’t update your location to find new potential matches. Unfortunately I gave it a 2, wish I could give it a 5 for the concept.

### 1/5 — Can’t Signup

*2021-04-24, version 2.0.5*

I type in my email, they have to paste in a password because there’s no keyboard when I try to type in my password for me to do so. Then, it says it sent an email, but no email ever comes. Couldn’t even get past the signup page.

### 1/5 — Literally doesn't work

*2020-11-06, version 2.0.2*

The app can't even display photos. Looks like it was written by a five year old.

The update is even worse, now I can't even sign in. Seriously???

### 1/5 — Looked cool but the app won’t open anymore

*2020-09-03, version 1.3.6*

It just straight up won’t load anymore. I get notifications from the app but when I try to open it up, it just stays on the loading page until I get frustrated and close it lol

### 1/5 — horrible

*2020-06-13, version 1.3.6*

this app does not work after I allow my location. I was extremely disappointed when nothing happened. how can this be on the app store when it has so many bugs?

### 1/5 — App won’t work

*2020-01-21, version 1.3.6*

Says no athletes in my area even within 100 miles. Wish they could get this app working properly, because I love the concept.

I’m so happy there is FINALLY a dating app for athletes. Our experience as athletes is so unique and there is nothing better than finding a lifelong partner who knows how to be a real TEAMMATE!

### 5/5 — Thank you playoff!

*2021-08-12, version 2.0.7*

Playoff gave me the ability to meet my boyfriend of 1 year! So thankful to have someone in my life that understands the athletic lifestyle we used to have in college and incorporate into our lives today

### 5/5 — Easy to Use - Better Quality Than Most Dating Apps

*2021-08-12, version 2.0.7*

Connecting athletes with athletes - so smart! I’ve had some of the best first dates (and second and third and..) using this app. Stopped for a while back because I met the right person but just wanted  to shout out what a great way to meet likeminded people the app provided.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2021-08-12, version 2.0.7*

This app is so dope! Meeting and Dating people that share a similar life experiences through sports is incredible. Not to mention my goal is to meet someone on this app I can make little athletic children with. 🤣💪🏾

### 5/5 — Great idea & app

*2021-08-12, version 2.0.7*

When I first heard of playoff, I almost said to myself “why didn’t I think of this first?!” Such a great idea, and as a former athlete, I loved the idea of seeking someone who has the same qualities as I do. awesome idea & app!
