Annoying bug with the algorithm

Can we please for the LOVE OF GOD fix the preference filters?! I love how it blatantly ignores your location and distance preference and shows you people hundreds of miles away.

“Christian dating app” is SO bad. Other “non-christian” dating apps do way better. Full of scammers.

This app is full of scammers. And they constantly show me people way outside of the parameters I’ve given.

Save your time and $

So, I joined 3 or 4 days ago. I had a few matches pressuring to communicate via other apps, so for fun I decided to reverse image search some of my matches. Imagine my shock and surprise, when I found the images were stolen from someone on insta. The actually person happened to be gay, recently married of his partner of 3 years, and live in Zurich. Coincidentally, Upward emailed stating “look at these matches” and that profile was one of the people featured only his location was the capital of Ethiopia, even though on app and per the scammer he was from Italy but was living in Ca.

In fact, of the 15 people I matched with, 10 were scammers. I easily found the pictures that were stolen from profiles on Instagram that did not belong to the person on the app. I thought if the person was verified that it may help eliminate face profiles; I was wrong about that too.

lol, 2 different profiles on upward (Frank and Adam) had both stollen picture from the same insta profile of someone from Malaga, Spain. Although, Frank said he was from Italy and Adam said Cardiff.

Additionally, I’ve had people match with me and the app will say they are 20+ miles away but they list where they live in their bio and some are 400-600 miles away. So, the distance isn’t trustworthy either.

Honestly, don’t waste your money unless you are willing to reverse image search and verify info.

Got Money?

This app intentionally displaces your matches behind a paywall.

Zero Customer Support, Zero Billing Support - do not use

TLDR; this app has zero support, no billing support, and is the worst option possible out of all Christian dating apps available on the IOS App Store. DO NOT PAY FOR PREMUM - they will charge your card MONTHS after you cancel.

Review:
This is the first app review I’ve ever left for an app. I used this app for at least one year, paid for the highest tier subscription via my Apple Account; canceled my subscription in March 2026. This company was able to locate my credit card, and charged me $99.99 for the subscription in September (months after cancelling), not sure how they got my credit card info. Due to an unauthorized charge, I notified my credit card company and disputed the charge. Upon reaching out 8 times via email, I was told that if you dispute a charge - your account is deleted, including all matches and messages. This app has literally NO customer support, it’s been over 30 days and I still don’t have a resolution. I will be reporting this company to the BBB for fraudulently charging my card for a subscription I did not authorize, falsely advertising on their website that they do have billing support (when in reality they don’t). It has been over 30 days and I have not been able to reach anyone regarding my issue.
