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.

Great app
May 6, 2016

I think this app is good. I didn't run across too many fake profiles, but I imagine that's a problem that's on all the dating sites.

It is to be expected from all dating sites that there would be an occasional fake but this is ridiculous! And to add insult to injury they don't know how to write. Responses are so stupid. I have had fun with a few of them. It is very very sad that a dating site would choose to fool someone who is looking for love. Very sad indeed.

Well if you like to be asked for you credit card details go for it! Other than that, don't be betting on getting a date in a hurry! Swipe right as much as you like but you are only going to get nowhere. Wish it had been a better experience.

Net-a-porter.com is great possibility for person to show her/his individuality through the clothes. You can always find a unique piece of garment there, which can't be found in anyone in your local place of habit. Isn't it marvellous? Fast delivery is working at its best!

12 Matches 0 messages
March 29, 2016

I decided to give Tinder a try after hearing good reviews but so far it hasn't been a good experience. Unlike most dating sites, this one is basically all about looks. You do not get any information on their personality or hobbies. For me, I like to know about a guy's religion, political stance, hobbies, expectations, what they're looking for, etc. I would like to understand a little bit about someone before wasting my time talking to a guy who doesn't have the same intentions as me.
I also realized that a lot of guys swipe right to every girl just to increase their chances of getting matches. This can be frustrating because when you message them, they do not reply. Being on the site, I've gotten about 10 or 11 matches. Only one guy messaged me first and when I replied back, he never responded. The rest of the time, I was the one putting in all the effort sending messages first and I didn't get any responses. I try to be open to most guys I see. I prefer slim or fit guys, but even then, I swiped right to men who were overweight. There was one incident where I messaged a guy who was a little big and after I sent the message, he unmatched me. (Unmatching happens a lot.)
I just found it laughable how guys who weren't the best looking would unmatch me or block me if they did not think I was worthy of talking to them.
Don't expect to get many matches unless you're a blond, blue eyed model. That goes for men and women. People are a lot more picky on Tinder. Even ugly people expect you to look good.
I also hate how Tinder makes you use Facebook to make an account. Not everyone uses Facebook so those people are at a huge disadvantage.
I will either find a new site or give up on online dating.

I have used this app many tims and have no success. This site is for pretty people. Average looking people like me can't get anywhere on this app. I wasted my time on here. I advise people that are average looking to steer clear of this app. It won't give you want you want or it will take you forever to find someone. I have only was able to message two people on here. I never heard from them after messaging them.

Say what you will about Tinder, but if you put out the right persona, you will get back what you want. I've had a few actual dates from here from legit people. Don't believe the ugly rumors. Use it for what you want and skip the rest.

Even though I personally prefer traditional dating sites like Mingle2day I have to admit that Tinder is a FUN APP to use. I have been using it for like 3 weeks and as mentioned: Yes, traditional dating site is what you need to go for if you are serious about dating. But again: It is a fun place to use once in a while.

Terrible
January 28, 2016

The app itself is a great idea. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Mechanically. There are SO many bugs and crashes that you are guaranteed to not have one single unencumbered visit. I've had it for a month, support never responds to issues and clearly does nothing to fix them. WORST SERVICE I've ever seen, pretty sure there just isn't a support team.
Very very very unimpressed, does tinder care an ounce about it's customers?

3 starts at most
January 21, 2016

Let me start by saying I like(ed) using this app and would continue to use it if customer support wasn't garbage. Ive been unable to log into my account for over 6 months now and keep getting an error message of please try again. So I contact tinder 6+ months ago and no answer, over and over no answer. Finally I get an answer back and its an automated response telling me to do all the things I explained I had tried to fix the problem. I respond back and I get the exact SAME response of steps to fix the error.
TL; DR FUN APP $#*! CUSTOMER SERVICE

Catfish - 3 times

I have been matched and talked to 3 different men who weren't who they said they were. When I google image searched them the real person they were impersonating appeared. They were all after money. I won't use tinder ever again. It seems they have been hacked and some how I'm matching with people 5000 miles away when I'm set up with a 45 mile radius. I don't encourage anyone to use this app and if you do be very very careful. Watch the broken English and google image search everyone.

Constant issues with loading photos, it crashes almost every time it's used for more then 5 minutes. Quite often then whomever you were waiting to see their pictures load, & you think you might really like this one, the whole thing crashes. You send a report they don't even respond to, & worst of it is when you log on again, that potentially special person is gone. No getting them back. You're just screwed... I could ramble on about a couple other minor grievances and annoyances but I'll leave it at that.
