Tinder Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is significantly marred by widespread customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from technical issues and inadequate customer support. Many users report being unable to access features after paying for premium memberships, leading to feelings of frustration and perceived exploitation. Complaints about account bans without clear explanations are prevalent, contributing to a sense of mistrust. While a few users have found success in their experiences, the overwhelming sentiment reflects a lack of reliability and support, suggesting that potential customers may want to consider alternative platforms for their needs.

Frustrating match site
February 9, 2018

I paid the $19.99 to join. Then I find that I cannot narrow my age search without upgrading, I cannot see my likes without upgrading, and cannot find out more information of my likes without upgrading. This is the most frustrating match site. I have used "Match" dating site in the past and it is so much more straight forward regarding pricing and easier to navigate. I couldn't get a refund (of course) but was told I could continue to use even though I cancelled my subscription. It's worthless to me due to all of the above reasons, so I just threw out $19.99.

I ordered a purse from this company and it took forever to get it. I called almost everyday got answering machine. Sent several emails stated they would answer within 12-24 hrs. Never heard from them. Got the purse and as soon as I opened it I could tell it was an imatattion: Packed it back up and sent it straight back that day. They recieved itDec 16th and I have not gotten my money back yet. J reported them to the fraud unit. They have until February 2 nd to return money. I have had other people. O plain about this company. Linda.

I have been using this app for a few months, but recently deleted it for a few reasons:

1. Every time I get a match from someone, I end up getting unmatched probably all because I am a transgendered woman. No wonder why a few of the new matches disappear.

2. Whenever I am in the middle of a text or if he wants to meet me in person, I end up unmatched and the text disappears. Very disheartening, but true.

For us transgendered ladies out there, we are in the lookout for real relationships, but it's not simple as a flash for most of us, so if Tinder was to improve it's search filters with something like this "Male looking for transgender/ladyboys", this would be much easier because it will only focus on guys who are interested in transgender people. Other than that, this app was a waste of time and I would never use it again.

Easy-to-use-app
November 18, 2017

Tinder is an easy-to-use-dating-app. The free version has good amont of features. However, I don't like thae fact that it connects through FB and even displays some information from FB, such as education.

I prefer old-school-dating-sites like Mingle2Day, Match and Cupid because I don't feel comfortable with Tinder displaying some of my FB details but overall experience was nice.

Incredible $#*!
November 3, 2017

To my opinion tinder is a $#*!, i'm not talking about what kind of guys you can meet there, of course, all people are different and maybe not possible to meet a serious guy there, but help team keeping silence and they blocked me as soon as i paid for tinder plus for a month, they blocked me twice, because of "other guys complaining", but this is not true, i was everytime very polite, trying to match an american guy, i guess americans really weird, they can complain on ur profile because you are ignoring them, but as a fact tinder team blocked me and didn't return money for tinder plus monthly subscription, they don't stay in touch and don't reply my messages. So my opinion is tinder is a $#*!!

You cannot find a serious relationship here. Guys are creepy on this site. This one is going to doom. Not a good site for women who're looking for something serious.

Everyone's using Tinder, so did I. Did I like it? Yes and No! It is a cool dating app and you can easily get in touch with other singles but the people are very superficial. Maybe not bad if you are looking for a hookup but if you really want to find someone special Mingle2day and eHarmony haver a better concept, in my opinion. Tinder is just not for me.

90 percent of the profiles are fake. Be warned. Nigerian who claim to live in the same city. Tinder does nothing to monitor this activity. I called several people and they all had international numbers.

I've been a member of Tinder on and off for a good while now and even met my last GF on the site. I tried it again recently and theres no doubt in my mind that its still up there when it comes to the main online dating agency players. But like a lot of things its got more competition these days wejustfit.com is the site that is working best for me personally ATM for instance - and that makes it some thing of a buyers market. If I had just stuck with Tinder I wouldnt have had the dates ive had on WJF. So its good to try everything and not be scared to mix it up a bit.

Don't waste your money!
September 22, 2017

I thought I'd give it a try.The reviews didn't seem *that* bad. What a total waste of time and money. People from all over the country pop up on your phone, thousands of miles away. Tinder doesn't don't say where they're from. You swipe right or left depending on whether you like the way they look, but you have no way to contact them, ask questions, see where they live, communicate in any way. It's a scam as far as I'm concerned. They take your money, you get nothing in return, just photos to look at, then swipe one way or the other. The 5-star reviews you read here are probably planted and paid for by Tinder operatives. It sucks.

If you pay, you will get nothing. Nobody is there to help you and you will lose your money. As my experience, this site has nothing to present. Do not waste your time and your money with Tinder!

They keep giving you the same guys over and over even after you tell them NOPE you're not interested. Seriously and on top of that they charge you a fortune.

Obviously I am not the type of guy that gets swiped-right in Tinder. Have used it for a few weeks and can't really get comfortable with it. The idea is awesome though and after I've read so many bad stories about dating scams I was pleasently surprised. Still prefer dating site which are a little less superficial like Mingle2day or eHarmony. But for younger folks Tinder sees to be pretty awesome.

Tinder is just a bit meh for me. Prefer some of the fresher sites (wejustfit.com comes to mind) & like to try sites with new people instead of seeing the same faces in my area.

Hookup site
July 21, 2017

Guys pretty much brag about how many hookups they have gotten. Kind of sad really. Yes it's part of these sites but to outright brag about it. Pretty tactless. No thank you. And people just passing thru the area looking to hookup or even cheat on their spousea.
