Being inclusive is one thing, but pretending a trans woman is the same as a female and presenting them to straight males is just ridiculous. I also selected that I want a monogamous relationship and it’s showing me married women who either are in a non-monogamous relationship or her and her husband are looking for a third. ### 3/5 — Categories *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Bring back categories this events tab sucks I don’t want events I want to browse people based on their preferences. The app was perfect when I had it a year ago and now it’s almost unusable go back in time. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* They charged me on three different occasions for their one week see who likes me offer and then cancelled my trial before it was even supposed to end. honestly feel like this app is a scam. It’s not like anyone is actually interested in talking. Definitely would not recommend Tinder and Definitely will be going back to Facebook dating as it is free and has more to offer then this ### 1/5 — Can’t even open th app to make an account *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* A get all th way to verify an it jus keeps feelin me I have no signal wen I have full bars ### 1/5 — Hate the new update *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Bring back the old tinder stop being greedy and make ppl pay for basic features. Hinge is superior. ### 1/5 — Reset option *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Add a f$!”ing reset option. This is why people are using Hinge because at least we can reset the people we swiped if we want a second look at them ### 1/5 — Sucks *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Would give it negative if I could ### 1/5 — Moronic sign in *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Literally can’t sign in to my old account bc of if I try to sign in on Apple it forces the email logged on the device and not the email of my choice. Now I can’t recover my old account bc I’m using a different email. I also changed my phone number but now the subscription I have requires an upcharge to get verification codes so I can’t sign in with a phone number either. Basically you guys are gonna lose a ton of members bc we can’t sign in to your ridiculous app without jumping through 85 hoops and maintaining the same email and phone number forever like a damn boomer. People change numbers frequently nowadays - I’m sure as heck not creating a new account. Eff this stupid app, it was already terrible and now it’s not even user friendly. Way to go losers ### 1/5 — Pretty disappointing *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* I’ve had the app for over 2 years, since then I’ve been on and off because of how frustrating it is. People I’ve been matching with end up ghosting, or the ones trying to match are an instant swipe left. I feel more deterred from trying on here because either people aren’t my type or the ones that are just don’t work out. ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* I respectfully asked to know the reason for my being blocked, and I was told to read the terms of service. This happened two days after I paid for a premium service. If I violated something, tell me what it was. I actually have kept count of friends who have run into the same thing and I’m up to 19. I don’t like feeling like I was robbed of money. ### 2/5 — New features not exclusionary to 18-20 year olds *2026-08-22, version 17.31.1* Almost all the events are 21+ not 18+. The events tab replaced the section where you could see people by dating intention of similar interests for something that the younger app users can barely even use. ### 1/5 — lol *2026-08-22, version 17.31.1* downloaded it to troll, found my uncle. ### 2/5 — Its a hit or miss *2026-08-22, version 17.31.1* Tinder has a very good set up when it comes to finding your type. On your first few days or two weeks you get good amount of matches depending on how you present yourself and who you match with, but after a period of time give it half a month later it starts to give out on you. You rarely get matches as if you are being hidden on the app and matching others rarely helps since you are not in their top picks. I don’t know if it’s an algorithm they do to keep users buying their premiums and promos, but it works ish. You can pick your preference, which area, super likes, being at top pick so they will see you, but if you want to do it without paying for the app that is a good choice to save your money, but you gotta be patient. The list is definitely long and this algorithm seems to keep you hidden unless someone really makes an effort to go through their likes. ### 1/5 — Выкачка денег *2026-08-22, version 17.31.1* Невозможно отменить подписку, низкая конверсия ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-08-24, version 17.31.1* Greed ruined the app ### 1/5 — Banned *2026-08-24, version 17.31.1* Someone got me banned, I appealed it because I didn't do anything wrong. Tinder immediately replied back with a "denial of appeal" email. I doubt they even checked what it was for before denying it. So annoying. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-24, version 17.31.1* App is designed to keep you on it and force you to spend money. Not for you to meet someone and delete it. Tinder is in the business of making as much money as possible. They don't want you to meet someone and delete the app. They want to keep you on the app at all costs. Don't fall for it. Don't even bother installing it. ### 1/5 — Why do I have to pay to see who’s interested in me? *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* It’s such a ridiculous feature to paywall the entire point of the app, why even have a free version at that point. ### 1/5 — Tinder is garbage *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Says it in the title, your better off alone. ### 1/5 — Marit *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* De har utestengt meg selvom jeg er 18, og når jeg klagde så gjorde de aldri noe med det. Tydeligvis ikke godt service senter. ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* This app will have u swiping left for 30 consecutive minutes because it keeps showing people that you’ve already swiped left on over and over and doesn’t actually use what you have in your preferences to find people ### 1/5 — The worst dating app *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Terrible experience unfortunately ### 1/5 — Tinder Hates Lonely People *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Tinder is an app designed explicitly to prey on lonely and desperate people. I have it, I wanted to try it and after spending money on one month of Tinder gold it proves to me it doesn’t work. Let me explain: Tinder is an app that will send you a notification saying your profile was liked, you go to check to see who liked you and nobody is there. Many people are seen to be online, they most likely are not. I’m aware bot accounts exist but Tinder is owned by MatchGroup, they have the money to place higher securities in place but choose not to. This app is great if you want to see a bunch of beautiful and handsome people but if you want to connect with them, it will never happen. The same company owns Hinge, I wrote a review about them and it hasn’t gone up. My rational and objective thoughts are that MatchGroup is not only manipulating its users but they are manipulating and paying off Apple/Google in order to get better reviews. I know this because my friend group has expressed similar frustrations. ### 1/5 — Not enough matches and zero dates! *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Am I that ugly? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* ✌🏾👌 ### 5/5 — Fun in a yatch *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* The best ### 5/5 — Strong app *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Good, but if you get too many matches or are good looking it bugs out as a male lol. ### 5/5 — Oh Tinder *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Well I gotta give it to you the amount of love an interment u have given me during the separation process with my husband ### 5/5 — actually works. *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* I met my bf on here lol (we’ve been tgthr for 4mnths now) ☺️. ### 5/5 — Date *2026-08-23, version 17.31.1* Yo nice ### 5/5 — Weird notifications *2026-08-22, version 17.31.1* I think i need a bonus for best user 😛 ### 5/5 — Enjoyable. *2026-08-22, version 17.31.1* I haven’t met anybody yet but just looking at these girls pictures is really fun. I hope to meet someone so I know that they are not just generated by a computer program. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-22, version 17.31.1* I love Tinder! ### 5/5 — Friendly Woman on Grinder *2026-08-22, version 17.31.1* They like small talk --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
