As soon as you sign up its a $4 fee to use the site. A beautiful women/man depending what your into will message you instantly chat you up. Then you will hit a pay wall of $30 to continue the the conversation. And the bot will keep sending you message after message of where your at because they know you hit that wall. If your foolish enough to pay they will ghost you. The next wall is another $30 to see who likes your profile and these are also bots to keep you interested. I changed my profile picture to sloth from the movie goonies to test the theory and get likes on a monster pick constantly lol.

They text you saying they are interested, but they ghost you out once you try to setup a date. Lots of gorgeous girls are trying messaging you, but you have to pay extra to see their full message to you despise of having paid for membership already.

We always appreciate feedback from our users. ### 1/5 — REMOVE this from the App-Store *2023-09-25* 0 Star App! Trash! SCAM! Fake profiles! How could Apple even allow this stupidity on the AppStore? If Apple doesn’t look into this and similar apps with similar issues they’ve got multiple lawsuits coming. Do NOT even put your name and pictures on that fake site. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-09-23* This app literally is a scam when you get in you’ll be able to message a full convo until you get sent a picture by a bot and then it’ll offer you to pay 3.99 for a month to keep going but once you pay it’ll start begging you to pay 36 dollars to keep messaging not worth it don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-09-16* Fakest app ever the woman don’t even look under age on the profile. Many young woman very weird feels like you’re talking to a robot over a scam twice in route to continue a conversation and once I paid, she stopped responding.😡 ### 1/5 — Nice Manipulative Algorithm *2023-09-14* As soon as you message the girl for a bit you’ll be forced to pay $5, some people like me can’t pay that little amount of money. Gotta pay cash for love not physical hard labor. Instagram is trash for the algorithm tho. ### 1/5 — App not working *2023-09-11* I paid the 3.99 but before that the app was letting me message people now I can’t message anyone can someone fix the app or give me my money back I didn’t pay to look at the message screen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Money scam *2024-02-27* If I could give it zero stars I would. Of course the ads hyped up this app like it was the new best thing. Get on and creat my account. After my first swipe it went to a subscription screen for a deal. You couldn’t click off the screen. If you tapped or swiped anywhere on the screen. It would open your IOS purchase page. If you closed out the app and re opened it. It went strait back to the subscription purchase. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback amidst your busy schedule. As we advertise, we aim for genuine interaction and fun connections among users through our product, and in fact, it is happening. All our subscriptions are voluntary and optional, and you can purchase them as per your need. Looking forward to your feedback. ### 1/5 — Not worth downloading *2024-02-16* I tried to delete my profile because there was no activity, and once I decided to delete my profile all of a sudden there’s tons and tons of messages and likes coming in. All of a sudden a ton of people are sending me likes and messages. This app is a scam. And I’m pretty sure half the “people” are fake accounts just to make you think your getting likes. The names they have for profiles are unicorn, dreamer? Like who had names like that? ### 1/5 — Scammers *2024-01-28* Becarfull This app is big scam , it shows you a very beautiful woman profiles and then they started asking you for date and the app pop at this magical moment ask you to by 30$ to continue the chat then after you pay they run away and you find nothing works and all fake profiles. They should remove this scam business from App Store ### 1/5 — Probably a Scam *2024-01-16* Downloaded off Instagram, added one phone, first name, and birthday and I got a match immediately. She had a bunch of photos a bunch of activities she liked and what not. We chat and her response were basics but seemed real. After like 10mins the app said I have to pay 3.99$ to activate my account. I could still see the msgs notification from her. And I thought, how convenient. She made an excuse not to meet up and the app wanted me to pay to continue to use it, so I checked the reviews and clearly it’s a scam. I’m sure her and the other girl I matched are bots and I’m sure this is an endless money tunnel where I’ll keep paying to use basic features. **Developer response:** Hi there! We highly value your input. SurprisMe has a large number of users who make successful connections on a daily basis, and we are confident that you can too. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need any advice or assistance.

Surprised apple is allowing such a bogus site to be on the App Store and Instagram to advertise it. I can not even get a hold of costumer service or delete my account it always shows input error when deleting and when emailing costumer service accounts not found in email. So I reached to apple and they still won’t help unfortunately my profile and pics are out there and so yeah don’t be fooled on activation of a account with a screen that won’t leave unless you pay $3.99. It’s a headache and lame dating site full of bots and scammers. **Developer response:** Our Support Team is available at all times to provide you with prompt assistance in resolving any issues that you may come across while using the application.

AI people and bots! *2023-12-23* You probably saw some ad on Facebook, Instagram or somewhere on the internet about some people glorifying this app saying it connected them to their relationship. My friend, don’t be fooled. This app is literally all about fake people, bots, AI conversations, in fact this app has nothing to do with Online dating or whatsoever. It was just developed to scam people and get their money. Please do not download it because you end up getting scammed. The only legit app I can really recommend is Tinder and u really have to be careful with that too but anything else like the “Once dating app” on iPhone, hud etc are all scams. **Developer response:** Hi there. We apologize for your negative experience on SurprisMe. We are constantly striving to enhance our users' experience, so we will definitely share your feedback with our Product Team. In the meantime, if there's anything else we can do to enhance your experience, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. ### 1/5 — Scam artist *2023-12-04* Everyone is right. This website says you will meet people and every time a potential woman comes on this is active, i try to reach to the women and they are not active. This website is fake and they need to refund my money and it should be taken off the internet. i have contacted my lawyer and local authorities and they are working to look for your company. Refund my money now. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your candid experience.

Don’t download this app, before sending this message I already filed a claim on Itunes to get this app taken down and filed a report with the Federal Business Berea. Main reason for this comment is to warn future people about this scam and to encourage people to do as I did and just to report them to ITunes and the BBB for a faster removal. If you were also scammed by this app I would strongly encourage to do so. 1 claim can steer it up but multiple can take action. **Developer response:** Thanks for updating your review. We always appreciate feedback from our users. ### 1/5 — Biggest crap ever *2023-11-28* I decided to try it. Met someone on there. Same area and it was going good. She asked me if I wanted to meet up for coffee. I said yes. Then as soon as I did, it kicked both of us off . I logged back in, and could see her messages. She was telling me that it kicked her off to hit her up on her page. Well, it wouldn’t let me reply or see the page she put up. Pay 3.00 for a trial. All that did was let me search profiles. That’s it. I deactivated my account. Then got the money up and tried to make a new profile. As soon as I put my phone number in to get a new account opened, it kicks me off. Tried with a different number. As soon as I post a pic, it kicks me off. That is a total scam. Any company would gladly take you back on cause that’s money they will make. Only a scam would do that. I see hundreds of complaints about this app on reviews. Y’all should get rid of this app. Apple App Store, You are letting scammers scam us. Not cool DO NOT GET THIS APP. It’s a scam!!!! ### 1/5 — Fake app *2023-11-27* This app is a joke don’t wast your time it’s all bots to make you pay for the app girl said she lived on near me on 6th 😂😂😂 most be living with my mom and dad or my cuz they the only two house there knew it was fake from that point and didn’t pay just delete was a waste of time hope to save the next’s persons time ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — DO NOT MAKE AN ACCOUNT *2023-12-18* IF U MAKE A ACCOUNT THEY WILL FLOOD U WITH COMPUTERS THEN LOCK YOU OUT OF YOUR ACCOUNT UNTIL YOU PAY ! The problem isint even paying for a obviously fake service and fake app and people the problem is once your acc is made and they lock you out the app willl KEEP ALL OF UR PHOTOS AND UR ACCOUNT UNTIL YOU PAY! U won’t be able to remove anything or delete your account , and they will automatically lock u out of making a new account to check anything with “errors” . They will take ur photos and use them for Neferious deeds ni doubt . If your reading this after you made an account already it’s too late . Goodbye to your 4 dollars and ur identity ### 5/5 — Need my Snapchat account back *2023-07-19* I need my Snapchat account back now before I sue this app for taking my account like I want to delete my information on this app **Developer response:** Hi there!

Not happy about this thinking about suing. ### 2/5 — Not a good app it *2023-06-22* Not a good app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
