### 1/5 — Not worth it.

*2026-08-20*

They will trap you with fake profiles in order to get their subscription. I have seen the profiles are online for about two months days and nights every single time. 😂

### 1/5 — Paid for subscription, but not reflected on the ac.

*2026-08-09*

Tried to contact support with several mails and messages but no response from their side. Seems like they don’t even care. It’s a kind of fraudulence.

### 1/5 — A Rip Off

*2026-08-03*

I paid for a months subscription. I’m on Bumble and Hinge. And I have 2-3 likes each day on those sites. Vinita seemed like a great choice for meeting more South Asians. I kid you not. I didn’t have one like during my 30 day subscription. You can’t see views. There are no stats. I am convinced the profiles are just fakes. And, the crazy thing? As expensive as match and Hinge. Avoid avoid avoid

### 1/5 — Fake profiles and money scam

*2026-07-30*

This app is nothing but a scam to get money from people. The profiles are fake and randomly reply with weird and out of context replies. I matched with 74 profiles and not one replied… but then a year old conversation magically appeared? 

Not to forget that they keep showing that people liked you but you can’t match with them without paying. But when you do pay, you suddenly stop receiving likes or notifications. How is app this still on the store? It needs to be investigated

### 1/5 — Complete Waste of Money

*2026-07-26*

I paid for a 6-month subscription and it was a complete waste of money. During my entire subscription, I didn’t receive a single genuine like or meaningful match. Most of the profiles that supposedly liked me looked fake or inactive, making the app feel misleading. The most suspicious part is that as soon as my subscription expired, I suddenly started receiving likes again, which makes it seem like the app is trying to get people to pay for another subscription. Whether that’s intentional or not, it seriously damaged my trust in the platform. Based on my experience, I would not recommend paying for this app. Save your money and try a different dating service instead.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-25, version 1.5.16*

Scam

### 1/5 — Fake app

*2026-07-25, version 1.5.16*

No profiles in highly crowded metro region , they should let user know how many profiles are existed in that region , so that user can decide to go for subscription or not , it’s a waste and fake app with no profiles. I strongly suggest not to take subscription , it’s 100% waste of money .

### 5/5 — Met my wife

*2026-07-19, version 1.5.16*

Couldn’t think of a better place supporting South Asian love.

### 1/5 — Data farming

*2026-07-16*

Joined, went through setup, won’t allow you to ask app not to track, won’t  allow no notifications, I wake up the next morning and it says I’ve been flagged as spam and wants me to send an email. I already went through their verification. How could I be spam. I’m not going to send an email to a company begging to give them business.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-07-14*

This app requires you to pay to get any reasonable use out of it. Even after paying, the likelihood of getting a match is slim to none. Plus the distance which possible matches exist in is far away. I do not recommend 👎

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you liked the layout, but I’m sorry to hear about the other issues you’ve encountered. We take concerns about fake profiles seriously and are working to expand our user base and improve features like search filters and notifications. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll pass it along to our team for future updates.
