Other than that I like the events! ### 2/5 — Waste of time for dating *2026-01-20, version 2.20.0* The app is great for showing you events, but is terrible as a matchmaker. Do not reccomend for dating purposes ### 2/5 — Very limited *2025-09-01* They give you a list of about 8 people that can scroll through. It's not like you can "pass" and have more opportunities to read about others. The events section is focused on local events if you'd like to new people in a comfortable environment. But the interaction with the app is very limited ### 3/5 — The app is so buggy *2025-02-19, version 2.1.2* Hey I’d like to use the app and fill out my profile but it crashes out on me every time I try. ### 3/5 — Not for UK locals *2024-09-07, version 2.0.11* Great community with a nice vibe, unfortunately, it seems very much for US people as literally, after two days I couldn’t find any one in my area. Also, plans are quite in the expensive side, unless you are more interested in the events than the people, not really worth it pay. ### 1/5 — Not very good or practical for those who can not afford membership *2024-05-02, version 2.0.2* Can’t search friends of. Us them unless you pay into it ### 3/5 — Multiple things *2024-04-30, version 2.0.2* No distance filter on a dating app? I don’t want to see people 45 miles away stop showing me them. ### 1/5 — Not enough people *2024-04-17* Never enough people to keep me interested. Some days no one new to look at, changing to major cities doesn’t change it either. Maximum I’ve seen is 5 people in a day before you wait 24hr to have it maybe give you 1 more. Most are hours away. But it’s fun for the group classes, tantra, meditation and such, so that’s different. ### 2/5 — Not Really Sure What This App Is For *2024-04-15* The vast majority of events listed in my city are at one exclusive, ridiculously expensive club where I don’t feel comfortable going. If I wanted to know about their events I would just check their website. The few other events I found had vague descriptions and often indicated that there was a cover charge, but not what the charge is. Guess what? When you message the organizer, It’s super expensive. It’s billed as a place to meet people but I didn’t meet anyone, because like other apps, people will never see your “bud” requests unless they pay the monthly fee. The app shows you exactly five random people a day. Maybe once or twice a week there was someone I found attractive or interesting, but as stated above, no actual connections in my city. There’s no way to know if anyone has been on the site recently. I suspect I was seeing a lot of dead profiles. There are lots and lots of discussion threads where you can talk to people halfway across the country about whatever, but I could do that for free on Reddit. I regret paying for a month of this. ### 1/5 — Questionable ethics *2024-03-05* What I have been witnessing is Bloom’s hosted events have been directly copied from other businesses and groups. This includes blatant coping of itineraries, copywriting and direct competition for venues, siphoning off attendees from women, poc snd queer spaces. As far as community, it is very limited. You are better of using known platforms and community websites sites over this app to find events and people. ### 3/5 — No buds *2024-01-27* Supposed to get new buddy suggestions each day, got a couple to begin with and now I very rarely get any. I also don’t like it that if someone wants to chat with you, you get sent to the pay first page. ### 1/5 — Fake life *2024-01-01* Don’t bother, nothing but trash business practices. Business list there parties for free on the app and when you get in the front door they ask you for a big $$$$ amount to enter the venue then you can’t report them at all in the app. This is so unreal. Don’t even think about joining this garbage. Stupid app and unethical practices. Stay away **Developer response:** We are sorry this happened to you. what a terrible experience to end the year with. Please refer to bloomcommunity.com/consent for all the resources associated with reporting harmful accounts. we're also always available at safety@bloomcommunity.com Also, 90% of the 12,000 events listed on Bloom have received a rating of 4 stars and above. Maybe give another event a try? ### 2/5 — Not it *2023-11-01, version 1.4.43* If you are heterosexual and or black it’s not going to work in you for favor , lame cash grab at best ### 3/5 — Something went wrong. Please try again. Error message *2023-10-16* Hi For the past 6+ months I have been getting the “ Something went wrong. Please try again”. Error message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app… and have the latest version. Yet the issue persists **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@bloomcommunity.com and let's figure out why this is happening. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-02-05, version 2.21.0* For all the reviews that I seen here, I said, let’s give a try and see. I was excited to get to meet other people in this app. but this moment I have not met anyone locally in my town. Every day. They say is a new pic for me. In my area but there’s no one there I put a different ZIP Code to see What load up but nothing I wanna be using this app anymore once my membership ends up in two weeks ### 1/5 — Low-grade dating site. *2026-01-17* Do not use this site. They charge too much money a month for what they actually give you which is nothing compared to other Internet dating sites. They're behind the times as well in my opinion compared to other dating sites. 90% of the women that I communicated with were scam artists/bots. I contacted customer support and they did nothing about it. Their policing is terrible. **Developer response:** We’re sorry the experience did not meet your expectations. Plura is a community app, and we take reports of scams and fake accounts seriously. While we cannot share actions taken on other members’ accounts, reports are reviewed by our team and appropriate action is taken when needed. ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2026-01-08, version 2.20.0* Like most “sex positive” sites and dating apps. Full of lookist racist gals who won’t give you the time of day unless you look like a movie star. Also, a LOT of fake profiles and AI pics. Nope ### 1/5 — Lack of notes. *2025-12-27* I do not like the fact that Plura will only provide a Limited amount of notes per week that I can send to a potential match. This needs to change. I am paying for this and there should be an unlimited amount of notes for all paying members. it’s not only cheap but it’s very disappointing. I’m paying less money per month on Match and I can send an unlimited amount of messages to other members. It should be the same for Plura. I would love to speak with someone from Plura and guide them on how they can make this site a lot better because it has limitations it also has a lot of scam artists on it. Very annoying! ### 1/5 — Basically pay walled? *2025-11-17, version 2.16.0* There are 3 people who’ve “budded” me however they never show up in my daily 5. Been well over a month without my ability to choose to bud them back. Feels like this is just a tactic to force you to buy the premium membership… ### 1/5 — Worse than useless *2025-09-18, version 2.14.0* If you’re a free user, the app only shows your four people a day. I’m a lesbian and have it set to show me only women, yet half of my “picks” for the day have been men the past three days. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-09-05, version 2.13.0* They will remove your account if you speak up your mind about anything that they don’t like. I won’t even bother wasting my time again. Just wanted to inform all the newbies ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-08-14, version 2.13.0* This is a total waste of time you can’t meet any partners or friends must pay for everything can’t really try the app at all unless you pay pay pay more than likely because it’s all fake profiles that’s why you can’t use bc it’s fake gotta pay and get burned ### 1/5 — No one is on here *2025-05-28, version 2.7.0* They basically use this app to get you on their activities page so you pay for their seminars to make money. No one is on this app ### 1/5 — Lack of notes. *2024-07-09* I do not like the fact that Plura will only provide a Limited amount of notes per week that I can send to a potential match. This needs to change. I am paying for this and there should be an unlimited amount of notes for all paying members. it’s not only cheap but it’s very disappointing. I’m paying less money per month on Match and I can send an unlimited amount of messages to other members. It should be the same for Plura. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Phenomenal App! *2026-05-28* I am so very grateful for the fabulous folx that created and continue to care for Plura.

The virtual forums lead to in person meetings, many run by app members. There are options for dating and friending! The developers constantly seek user feedback and improve the app. I am very thankful to Noa and Jeremy for this tool that allowed me to make a community of friends and partners. ### 5/5 — I wrote a review, and in love with this app, and *2024-11-26* What happened to the full list being free each day Why is there now just four from the list, the full being provided only if I pay Please help me with this glitch ### 5/5 — Changed my life *2024-09-09* I can’t function without plura, it augments and enhances my social life greatly and has really reduced my need for dating apps.
