### 2/5 — Worse than useless bigoted app

*2026-05-07, version 37.2.0*

If there are any other people using this, they are too far from me to match, so the front screen is always completely blank.

Completely defeats the purpose of the app.

Speed dating? Well, I can guarantee you that it will be faster to go through your matches on this app than on any other.

Then, one day, I update the app, and they have removed support for phone numbers outside the US and Canada. So basically we’re looking at bigoted devs who sorely need to learn that the world is larger than a couple of countries.

On top of all that, the app continuously notifies you of “new matches” despite the absolute lack of matches and inability to login.

### 2/5 — Non- existing customer assistance

*2026-01-22, version 37.2.0*

When you need help there is none to be found because after following the instructions i realize there is nothing leading to customer help, not even an email!! Just useless articles

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-01-21, version 35.1.3*

Again another site that the filters don’t work. Just as bad as silver singles

### 1/5 — Not able to add picture

*2025-01-19, version 35.0.0*

There’s a bug when I have selected the photo after that pressing the crop button doesn’t do anything

### 3/5 — Unimpressed so far

*2024-10-31, version 31.1.4*

The local selection is small. I’ve gotten two mutual likes so far and one of them was definitely a scammer or bot. The other lives over 1,000 miles away. 

Dating anyone outside a 50 mile radius isn’t feasible for me right now.

### 1/5 — No support response, deleted app.

*2024-08-06, version 31.1.4*

I paid for the upgraded membership. I ran out of girls to swipe on within two days. Tried emailing support twice with no response.  Had to ask Apple for a refund on my membership which I was able to receive. This app is a joke, don’t waste your time on it.

### 1/5 — Horrible App with Privacy Issues

*2024-06-22, version 31.1.4*

Don’t use the app. This is a horrible app. Your matches willl contact with your parents, siblings and friends without your consent. I don’t even know they got all those phone numbers. I only provided my own. When I told the app owner he said they all signed up with is ridiculous! Your information is not private. Please be aware! Also you matches are in your area! Always out of state or out of the country! They don’t even check peoples location to make sure they are not lying! Horrible app! Please don’t try it!

### 1/5 — Don’t ever get this a try!!

*2024-06-08, version 31.0.2*

I joined this because I had no hope in dating with my learning disability and my speech impediment with hopes of getting real dating even paid outrageously for the match maker! There is no real dating here, it’s all a scam to get your money! I have charged 4200$ by your company and I didn’t even get one date !! That’s called a scam!!

### 3/5 — Hi

*2024-02-28, version 30.0.1*

I don’t know what’s wrong but it seems everyone on the updated version of the app is using AI..I get more matches and keep getting messages from AI. And the purpose of the app is being truncated. Please do something about it.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch joke

*2024-02-21, version 30.0.0*

They find people and say they have wonderful clients for you and then they suggest 1 person (singular) that is includes a dealbreaker and then they claim they don’t have anyone else. Stick to companies with integrity, not this one.

### 1/5 — It's Just Another Dating App

*2024-02-15, version 29.13.0*

I found it when I was scrolling through Eventbrite, and I thought I could partake in one of their events through it. However, it never ended up happening, and the app is no better than any other dating app I have tried. Filter preferences are a joke, and they don't even notify you of any upcoming video chats until AFTER they have already happened. Take it from me: Say "No" to dating apps.

### 1/5 — Made by scammers

*2023-12-22, version 29.6.1*

I have had very bad encounters with my rep at Filteroff when they made me work for them hinting I would earn money by working with a bar venue that serves drinks by earning drink fees. Now, they don’t do in person paid events. Probably because they don’t know how to make it work. Now, they offer a service of matchmaking for $999 per month for Matchmaker Pro. They describe you will get a personal matchmaker matched with AI, and they highlight only takes ten minutes the setup process with the matchmaker. So you pay almost $1000 a month when it only takes an actual person 10 minutes to setup. And the rest is handled by AI with the app. Besides my hands on experience, would you trust anyone offering a $1000 a month service to people desperate for dates. It is a $1000 a month AI service for consumers not enterprise!

### 2/5 — Typical Dating App Junk

*2023-10-18, version 28.2.0*

If you want matches from hundreds of miles away despite your preferences being for a local radius, FO is for you. There is hardly anybody local on the app. Events keep getting cancelled due to low turnout. But now they want people to sign up to spend hundreds of dollars per month for the same stale junk. I use this app for a good chuckle, and that is about it.

### 1/5 — Horrid

*2023-08-13, version 27.3.1*

The people on this app are liars and of special needs. If your a mature adult really looking for your person? This is not the app. Yes they are looking for love but have extremely strong mental and physical issues. The concept is a good idea but the traffic on this app is scraping from the bottom and underneath the barrel.

### 1/5 — App should be shut down

*2026-02-12, version 37.2.0*

This app has no users and post profiles of inactive users. When you need help there is none to be found. NO USERS AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, SO WHOS ACTUALLY ON IT. Nothing leading to customer help, even when following the prompt to customer service, there no contact or response, not even an email!! Just useless articles

### 1/5 — Literally zero other people on it

*2025-10-18, version 37.2.0*

Completely defeats the purpose of the app.

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work

*2025-07-13, version 37.2.0*

Title says it - app doesn’t work.  Can’t get a profile setup.  It gets to the location page and gets stuck thinking my location doesn’t exist.  1 star.

### 1/5 — Location services aren’t working

*2025-07-12, version 37.2.0*

Couldn’t complete account creation

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2025-07-08, version 37.2.0*

I’ve been on many dating site. This one just wants to constantly bleed you for money. I’m really does not find matches for you. I would not recommend it.

### 1/5 — Radio silence

*2025-06-24, version 37.2.0*

Maybe there’s just not many people using this one but there’s nobody here. To the point where they show people multiple times. Just because, you have no options. Even with global radius. And no one is online for the in app video dates.

### 1/5 — Time, I told you I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Saturday from 8:20am to 6:00 pm and you schedul

*2025-02-18, version 36.8.0*

Would not recommend Patrick Crowley

### 1/5 — Not much here

*2025-02-01, version 36.7.0*

So far it feels like a runaround. Silver Singles sent me a 30 day trial invite a few days before my 6-month subscription was about to expire. I signed up for Spark and let SS expire. A lot of fake accounts and people too far away.
The trial didn’t work. I tried to click subscription to see if the trial code worked and it sent me to the App Store. 
How often it seems there’s a game going on with this company. 
On top of that, the profiles are thin. It’s like looking at a yearbook.

### 1/5 — Scammers n fake accounts beware

*2025-01-29, version 36.6.0*

Avoid this app at all cost the woman are all scammers from Nigeria they are all men n I e complained to the sparks platform n the woman that runs it don’t care ive left hundreds of profiles showing what accounts are scammers n no response n if u block an account they come back as another person they steal real woman profiles n pretend to be them to trick u into believing so be careful

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2024-12-05, version 32.5.0*

Video dating as an alternative to endless swiping is a game changer. The prompts and fun questions make completing your profile a breeze. The ability to join Date Night and meet several people for a “speed dating” event is really cool. So far I am really enjoying the app.

### 5/5 — Met My Husband on This App

*2024-07-04, version 31.1.4*

My now husband and I met on this app in 2021. We just got married a few months ago.

### 5/5 — More women in the U.S

*2023-12-23, version 29.6.1*

I don't like that it has women from other countries. I wish it had more women from the U.S and in Austin.

Thanks.

### 5/5 — VERY HELPFUL APP!

*2023-12-20, version 29.6.1*

User friendly app. Plus it is very easy to use and very helpful when it comes to looking for someone to mate online! You have such a very kind and interesting users. I would best recommend this dating app for you to use. You won’t be disappointed!

### 5/5 — Filteroff is the best

*2023-11-07, version 29.0.0*

I loved using Filteroff’s personalized matchmaking service. My dedicated matchmaker took the time to understand what I was looking for in a partner. Within weeks I was matched with promising, compatible dates. I’m now dating someone great that I met through Filteroff’s thoughtful matching process.

### 5/5 — Best dating experience yet!

*2023-09-21, version 28.2.0*

I love this app because it’s not like the others at all! You can actually video chat with someone you like before meeting in person and the daily picks offered are always great. I’ve met so many awesome people  and had a bunch of video dates that led to in-person dates! By far one of the best dating apps in my opinion and I highly recommend!

### 5/5 — I don’t know anymore I just don’t know

*2023-08-03, version 27.3.1*

I’m on the edge of giving up like I just don’t know if i can do it anymore, I’m going to give it one more turn, but if nothing shows up, I just can’t do it

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-06-02, version 26.6.0*

Great app, especially during COVID times made meeting people way easier!

### 5/5 — Finally, a decent dating app!

*2023-06-01, version 26.6.0*

I’ve been on this app for about two months. It’s refreshing to actually be able to communicate with real conversations with REAL people. No 🍆 or 🐱 🐠 pics so far. The voice message option is a really nice addition to a dating app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-06-01, version 26.6.0*

What a lovely feature of an app to have an initial video call feature to filter-off people
