PolyAm Date User Reviews

Top reviews

Recently, February, 2024

This app has worked great for the past year, albeit with very few matches in my local area. Recently, however, as of February 2024, the app has hung on the first loading screen. I’m not sure where the problem is, but none of my other apps are doing this, so?

Great idea but not useful

It’s a great concept I like the set up but unfortunately even when it’s set to my entire state it’s just not coming up with any other users so there isn’t really any point in keeping it if there isn’t anyone else using it.

Lame

I set search radius to “my state,” and ONE profile showed up. Changed it to 500 miles, and ZERO profiles showed up, despite the aforementioned profile being 75 miles away. Clearly has issues. Set to “anywhere,” and about 15 profiles showed up. In the WORLD.

Eh

Tried this app as my boyfriend and I are poly. Only ever got 2 matches on here and they were both far away. Not worth it.

0 users

This has literally zero people on here.

Wish it would work

Wont let me get past selecting photos and I’m not looking forward to the hassle when there’s probably not enough people in my area :/

Great app great community

Hey it’s not perfect but the kernel is awesome, there are lots of great people on it and they accept feedback and suggestions about the community and the app itself. Keep it up

Worth It

Pros:
-Responsive developer
-Genuinely nice and personable user base
-Chat rooms (personals are separate from general discussion rooms)
-“Home” tab shows user profiles that meet your search criteria
-Ability to show if dating as a couple or interested in dating couples... if like me you don’t want to date a couple, you don’t see them and they don’t see you!
-Resources and community for PolyAm people, which is nice!
-Recent update allows the ability to prevent unverified users from liking or messaging, which has been great for filtering out fake accounts. (Advice: Get verified if you join.)

Cons:
-As others have noted, can be buggy as app is still in development, but Developer is responsive and attentive to these
-Also as others have noted, number of users still low... but it won’t grow if people don’t join, so take a chance and join!

Thank you for the review. Working hard on the bugs! :)

Pass

Not a bad app but unfortunately not many ppl use it.

Friendly Community That’s Welcoming

I’m new to poly life and this app has been very helpful in helping me explore and learn. I’m thankful for the creator and all the users that are extremely helpful.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words!

Buggy

Not worth the download. The app and the website are both riddled with bugs. No meaningful dating can take place because half of the options don’t load.

Response from developer

Hi. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the app. We are constantly updating and working on fixing issues. I hope you will consider giving it another try.

Bummed

Would not allow me to creat an account.

Great site, still developing

This is a great resource for those searching for other polyamorous relationships.
The developers are still
Working out the kinks so everyone just needs to be patients because this is the App that is going to be the “go-to” for the poly community.

Glitchy

Messaging glitch. Shows lay conversation even though you are trying to talk to someone new.

Cool idea but ass

Review is based on how terrible the User interface is and then the actual app experiences. 1 star for idea and 1 Star for execution
1.) Trying to edit information is practically impossible. It’s like being at a restaurant and trying to call your waiter and you see your waiter but they keep helping other people or are completely gone. The buttons to save/cancel edits are blocked by location of time and battery bar of actual phone so not reactive when I touch it. Spend 15 minutes trying to select save. And doing that over and over 🙄.
2.)When i needed to access my account settings, it was virtually impossible by just clicking profile as it only led to my profile. I would have to exit the app completely at least three times hoping when I click profile that account settings would pop up. Too unreliable.
3.) Although having the most open criteria, there continued to be “no more matches for you. Reset profile” like bruh🙄
4.) the prompts for profile are borderline useful and not. Let me use the text space to enter what I want rather than appear to have an empty profile because of unnecessary questions.
5.) the ad said you swipe but you actually press thumbs up or down. And because they’re so close together, I’d give the wrong action to people that I couldn’t fix.
6.) visual quality and design is mediocre, unattractive, and not creative. Even if it wasn’t creative, there’s a model that works. Replicate that with the context of our poly lifestyle

ADORE this app!

This app used to not have many users, but I have seen in the past few months more people on it and many more matches. I feel it is, with good cause, gaining traction in the Polyamorous Community.

There are so many choices so you can be as vague or specific as you want. The “Resources” section has helpful PolyAm Community Slang definitions. The questions are relevant and have more applicable options to choose than OKCupid did for me.

I especially adore the toggle switch for “I am open to dating a couple. As a Bisexual (I think I am actually Pansexual) CisGender Woman, I deeply appreciate being able to not have to deal with Unicorn hunters. Saves frustration all around and ensures a better experience for all. I really feel this app sets me up for success (how ever I define that to be).

It’s just “ok”

The app force closes anytime I try to load earlier messages from chats I’ve previously had with anyone. Very frustrating.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for reporting this. I will look into this and try to get a fix into the next release.

Upload don’t work

Everything was fine until I was asked to take a picture or upload a picture. Tried to upload but it did not work! Was not able to complete the process as a picture is required. Bummer!

Response from developer

Hello, I'm sorry you had a problem with the app. The picture upload issue has been rectified. I apologize for the problems.

Broken

Can’t create a new account without it getting stuck on your orientation question. Good job!

Response from developer

Hello. I'm sorry you experienced problems with app. The orientation issue has been fixed. I apologize for any problems.

Love the idea, having some issues...

I love the idea of this app. I’ve been looking for a dating app specifically for polyamorous people, HOWEVER, while trying to make my account and I get to the sexual orientation part it’s just a blank screen. Restarting the app doesn’t help, deleting and reinstalling the app doesn’t help either. You cannot skip this step and come back to it later either, so the app is completely unusable. Please help!
