Needs work

The questions were super redundant, and coming to leave this review I see many people have already said the same thing in previous months. I think the overall intention is fantastic, but I don’t think enough people are wanting to stay to complete an hour+ long questionnaire, and because of that no one completes their profile. So the people who have completed their profile, they don’t have any matches. I liked the questions that I asked, however, it kept asking me the same questions in different ways. There is not enough pool of people.

No

Ridiculous, it just keeps adding questions to your initial “interview.” It does help clarify what qualities are important, but with no results. And the speech function is laggy and repetitive. Please fix so people can actually use it.

Violation of privacy!!

I'm appalled and enraged. I was answering the questions using the voice functionality in the app. Then I left the app and opened WhatsApp to listen to and send voice notes with my friends, forgetting all about the sync app in the background. When I came back to this app, it had recorded the audio from WhatsApp personal voice messages I was sending to my friends!!! I feel completely violated and infuriated. This is totally unacceptable and immediately needs to be fixed. My trust is completely broken in this app. I've never used an app that breached privacy in this way. Even if it's a technical bug, it needs to be addressed immediately.

Response from developer

Thank you for this feedback. We are fixing it. We take this very seriously and want to address it directly. First, we received the in-app feedback you provided. Please rest assured that all data associated with your account has been permanently deleted from our systems. We want to explain what happened here. The voice feature in Sync was designed so you could talk to the app hands-free, even when your phone screen locks — the way you might during a long, reflective conversation while walking or lying on the couch. Unfortunately, the platform we build on does not allow us to distinguish between the screen locking and the app moving to the background when you switch to another app. To enable the screen-lock functionality, we have to use a background audio mode that stays active in both cases. That means if you left Sync mid-conversation and opened another app, the audio session remained active when it absolutely should not have. We are currently building a feature that puts this control directly in your hands. You'll be able to choose whether you want background audio on or off. If you turn it off (it will be default off), the voice session will end the moment you leave the app. If you turn it on for the hands-free experience, you'll be making that choice knowingly. This was a technical limitation, not an intention, but that distinction doesn't change your experience and we understand why your trust is broken. We should have anticipated this scenario and we should have shipped the toggle much earlier. That's on us. We're sorry, and we're fixing it.

Good matchmaking app

First dating app and AI is helpful

Different from anything else out there

I downloaded this because I was done with dating apps and honestly it delivers on that promise. No profiles to browse, just a conversation and then a list of people the AI thinks you'd actually sync with. Some of the questions can feel long but I'd rather invest time upfront than waste it on bad dates. Waiting for more people to sign up but I'm sticking with it.

My account suddenly disappeared

After almost two months of asking questions, my account mysteriously disappeared. I’m still waiting for their support team to get back to me.

Worst dating app

This app doesnt gets you anywhere you are stuck in a loop of questions and you ll regret why did i installed this app.

Really awful

Do not recommend at all. Terrible for your autonomy in using a dating app. Be careful what you tell the AI assistant because it will put it all out there in your profile. If you ask personal information to be removed, it will claim to do that, but it will just put it right back in there. You cannot edit what the AI writes about you. This is totally unacceptable, you should be able to control your own profile. I reached out through two support channels to get assistance with this. Never got any response from either.

I deleted my profile. Made a new one and was very careful how I answered so my private info would not be in the profile. But of course that means a lot of info that would be useful behind the scenes in making good matches is not getting shared. Because there is no option for privacy control on what is shared with the AI and what is made public.

There is an option to write your own bio, so you can add a bit of personality but overall it is reducing everyone to a bland AI rendition of our wants and needs. Everyone very boring when AI writes us.

Also there are very few people on the app, and of course this should get better over time if more people use it.

Response from developer

Thank you for this detailed feedback — we hear you, and you're raising real issues that matter to us. We appreciate you taking the time to share all of this. It genuinely helps us build a better product. Your feedback about the SoulPrint has been factored into our upcoming new version. On the support channels: that's not okay. No one should reach out twice and hear nothing back. We do reply to every ticket by email, but sometimes our emails get filtered to spam folders. If you're open to it, please reach out to contact@talktosync.com and white list it. And yes, the private beta user base is still early and growing. We're focused on NYC right now and adding many new members every day.

Good, but not for dating or finding a partner

If you want to truly dig deep and learn about yourself, get this app and get ready to dig deep into your past and your feelings to the point where you’re emotionally exhausted by answering all of the questions. By the end you will gain lots of knowledge on yourself. But forget about meeting someone on there. It’s useless for that.

Response from developer

We really appreciate you saying that about the self-discovery experience — that's exactly the value we're trying to create with Sync. On the emotional exhaustion — we hear you. The interview is deep because surface-level questions lead to surface-level matches. But we also know there's a line between meaningful and draining. Just so you know, you can pause the conversation anytime and come back when you're ready — there's no pressure to get through it all in one sitting. That said, your feedback tells us we need to do a better job making that clear and pacing the experience overall. It's something we're actively working on. Now, the other half of your feedback: if you're not meeting anyone, the app isn't delivering on its core promise. We're still in early beta and focused on growing in NYC, so the match pool is smaller than it will be. We're also shipping improvements to how and when matches are delivered to make the experience feel more active, even at this stage. We'd love the chance to make the matching side work for you. Drop us a line at contact@talktosync.com — we can take a closer look at your experience. Thanks for sticking with us this early. Feedback like yours shapes what Sync becomes.

Sync not working so far

Excellent customer care-I spoke with one of the founders- very helpful, understanding my concerns. There are technical issues plaguing SYNC-needs work asap-I was not able to connect with any of my matches, they all disappeared and held on 79% and the vibe check didn’t work either. I don’t know how much longer the bait is going on, but so far it has not worked, all of my matches expired at 79% as well as the vibe sync not working when I would delete somebody it would stay up there. The app just does not work on any level. Hopefully it will get better.

Technical issues

Site seems to be having some technical issues…too glitchy! Tried to contact support and no response. i

Response from developer

We're sorry about the glitches and even sorrier that you didn't hear back from support. That's not acceptable. Could you email us at contact@talktosync.com with details on what you experienced? We want to track down exactly what went wrong and get it fixed. We'll make sure you get a response this time.

buggy and slow

the AI is super slow, asks repetitive questions, and after I answer, it looks like it's about to respond, but it doesn't, i keep having to continuously close and reopen the app to get through all the questions, the ux/ui is not great either, it's takes too long to reach the 80% threshold they have set

Response from developer

Thank you for sticking with it despite those issues — and for being specific about what went wrong. That really helps us. Not to make excuses, but the instability in the third week in July was caused by third party service timeouts. We resolved it by changing to a different service. You shouldn't need to close and reopen the app anymore. On the repetition, we shipped a major upgrade in July that makes the conversation significantly smarter about building on your previous answers. On the 80% threshold: that gate is there because matches below it rarely lead to meaningful connections. But we understand it's frustrating when it feels out of reach. We are working on a major evolution. We'd love for you to give it another try — it's a genuinely different experience now. If anything still feels off, reach out at contact@talktosync.com and we'll help directly.

The app is not ready to be used. I got stuck not being able to update sync list. Too glitchy…

Palantir for dating

Being able to have everything about my relationship life in the app has been great for me to grow with my partner

Insightful and Helpful

Chatting with Sync is genuinely interesting. The questions made me stop and think, and helped me learn more about myself and what I'm actually looking for in a partner. Highly recommend!

Beta Testing For Good

I am very happy to beta test this app through its development. This has a lot of potential, and very needs in the dating space. I’m tired of endless swiping and matches that go no where. I want something meaningful and real.

I have spent a lot of time talking to the AI, and redirect if it repeats, or just share stories or major change life events. My SoulPrint truly represents who I am and what I’m looking forward.

The user base is slowly developing, the app is getting better, each update. I am looking forward to more gay users, and my first connection.

Leave feedback in the app, the developers are listening.

Endless questions with no matches

You are initially presented with 21 questions, which you can answer by typing or using voice prompts. The 21 questions have 3-5 sub-questions each. In reality you are answering well over a hundred questions. Some of the questions are thought provoking, but many are just repetitive. After those questions, you can continue answering more repetitive questions endlessly. The worst part is, your “soul score” never reaches the 80% needed, so you have several profiles you are presented with but you can’t chat with. I used it on-and-off for about a month. This app is garbage for dating/matchmaking. I get a lot more dates on Hinge.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback. A few things directly: Back in May, match quality and frequency was low due to our tiny user base. Now in August, there's dozens of new users joining the New York private beta daily, with noticeable increases in match quality and frequency. On getting more dates on Hinge — that's a fair comparison right now. Hinge has millions of users and years of scale. We're five months into beta. What we're building is fundamentally different: matches based on deep compatibility, not just swiping. That takes longer to pay off, but when it does, the quality is on another level. If you're open to giving it another look, we think you'd notice a real difference. Reach out at contact@talktosync.com if you want to discuss further.

Needs more attention

Good questions but they do start getting really repetitive, i started answering what qualities i was interested in like 4-6 different times while i was giving a lot of detail, i dont like that part, and im okay with the questions but not dishonesty, the ai said id be going through 20 questions, and i gave a bunch of detail spent hours answering these questions for it to start asking the same ones over and over. And 20 questions turned into like 40-50 questions

Response from developer

Thank you for this — and for putting in that kind of time. Hours of thoughtful answers is no small thing, and we don't take that lightly. You're raising two issues and both are valid. On the repetition: you're right. If you gave detailed answers about the qualities you're looking for and then got asked similar things multiple times, that's a failure on our end to recognize what you've already shared. We shipped a major upgrade on July 18 that specifically addresses this — the AI is now much better at building on your earlier answers instead of retreading them. If you gave it another try, you'd notice a real difference. On the question count: you're right, and we owe you a straight answer on that. The interview can go beyond 20 questions depending on depth and follow-ups, and we need to be upfront about that from the start rather than setting an expectation we don't hold to. That's on us to fix. The good news is that the detail you shared means your profile is genuinely strong — which means better matches as our user base grows. If you run into anything else, reach out at contact@talktosync.com. We're listening.

Great start, but questions are getting repetitive

I enjoyed thinking out my answers at first, but now they’re getting repetitive and tedious with only one match that appeared, then disappeared this week.
