No match but I’m assuming not a lot of people in my area used this because I’ve filtered in took off filters and not many choice. In Michigan ### 5/5 — はじめました！ *2026-06-21* 使いやすくいいです！ **Developer response:** やったー！素晴らしい評価をありがとうございます！🥰 Surgeで楽しんでいただけて、私たちも嬉しいです。良い出会いを！🖤 ### 5/5 — A challenger arises! *2026-06-21, version 11.21.5* Easy interface and a great selection of members to choose from!! ### 5/5 — It’s very interesting! *2026-06-19, version 11.21.5* This is good dating apps ### 5/5 — Surge *2026-06-18, version 11.21.5* The best gay app ever ### 5/5 — 信頼できそうなアプリ *2026-06-14* デザインがとても使いやすく、プラットフォーム上の人は真面目そうな感じがする。 **Developer response:** こんにちは、さん！素晴らしい！🤩 高評価と温かいお言葉に感謝いたします。😊 Surgeは本物のつながりを作るためのものであり、あなたがそれを体験していることを大変嬉しく思います。良い出会いを！😉 ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-10, version 11.21.4* Really good app, recommend:) ### 5/5 — App *2026-06-09, version 11.21.4* I love this app ### 5/5 — Fun app *2026-06-08, version 11.21.4* Great to see and chat with people ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-03, version 11.21.4* Loving it hopefully I will find my future wife ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Catfish and scammers *2026-08-23, version 11.21.5* I’m imagining this app gained its high star rating in its earlier days, when it was probably better moderated. I have used it for two weeks, and have found it to be nothing but scammers. No matter whom I talk to or in what context, it inevitably ends up being some kind of scam. It’s almost kind of fun jerking the people around a little bit, but it’s also sad, given that it really is just a cesspool where these creeps prey on people who are a little bit vulnerable. But yeah, if you’re actually looking for a serious dating app, I would look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Don’t even *2026-08-15, version 11.21.5* There’s really much people in Australia but I wouldn’t know lol. U need to pay if u don’t want to pay u get 1 swipe …. 1 swipe like bru. Truly not worth the 5-10 mins of setting up an account ( truly being soo for real) ### 1/5 — Muito Limitado *2026-07-25* Versão grátis é um lixo. **Developer response:** Oi! Obrigado pela avaliação. Lamentamos sua experiência negativa com o Surge🖤. Seu feedback é crucial para melhorarmos. Compartilhe mais detalhes em tomorrow@surgeapp.com para entendermos e resolvermos o problema. 🛠️ ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-04, version 11.21.5* Useless without paying Don’t lie, the free option gives you only few minutes of using. Without paying is very limited. ### 1/5 — Pago *2026-06-28* Pra usar o app tem que pagar **Developer response:** Oi Angelo! Obrigado por nos contatar! Notamos seu feedback sobre os recursos pagos. O Surge oferece uma experiência completa e gratuita para dar match e conversar! Nossos recursos premium opcionais aprimoram sua jornada e liberam benefícios extras. Buscamos sempre o melhor valor para nossa comunidade! 🌟 ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-06-19, version 11.21.5* Far too many adds can't even use the app ### 1/5 — 広告多すぎ *2026-06-13* 有料勧誘したいの分かるが広告の量が以前に比べてアプリ使い物にならないレベルの多さ。有料会員なっても大した機能ないのに金額高すぎる。なりすまし多い。 **Developer response:** フィードバックありがとうございます！広告が理想的ではないこと、そして煩わしいと感じる可能性があることは理解しています。😔 しかし、Surgeを無料で提供し、継続的なアプリ開発と改善を行うためには不可欠です。素晴らしい体験を提供しつつ、その影響を最小限に抑える方法を積極的に模索しています！🚀 ### 1/5 — Review *2026-06-10, version 11.21.4* Dead, don’t match with anyone just got a million likes I can’t view and I can’t be bothered to pay for a dead conversation ### 1/5 — Save your money *2026-06-05, version 11.21.4* Don’t waste your time and money on this app. ### 1/5 — Does not function w out paid sub *2026-06-01, version 11.21.4* Pay wall goes up immediately and is super frustrating. Don’t bother unless you plan on signing up for one of the paid subs. And even then who knows. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Most Convenient App! *2026-09-03, version 11.21.5* Definitely an app thats simple and has results! ☺️ ### 5/5 — Ratings *2026-08-08, version 11.21.5* The Admin is really cute. Lol. Ummm , there’s no a lot of people who are actively looking and talking people don’t respond to the messages or likes. Your sites need more people. It needs to be more active. However , I was able to talk to to people and one person who I really like very much. I hope for a date with that person. Only time will tell. I’m very grateful that the $14.99 is for a month. That’s perfect. Thank you so much for letting me use your site. I absolutely would recommend this site to anyone who is looking for a date , hook up or just wanting a friend to share and talk too.
