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.

I joined this dating app on a Platinum Membership. As I was browsing, I realized that this app is infested with gays and trans. So, the next day, I immediately applied for a refund due to this.

I got a reply from Tinder saying that refund is on its way. Until now, no refund is made and no one is responding to my several follow up emails anymore.

This app is a fraud!

It is full of fake profiles. Waste of time and money. I have another dating app that I get dates on regularly. Tinder hasn't had one real person in 3 months.

It is now just a scam site
May 21, 2023

Purchased a subscription to see my likes, then to be told oh wait you need this package at 25 a month! They are just at it and are taking people for fools with this type of business practice, every little function you now need to pay for separately, is just a waste of money & time, this company gives you nothing in return, avoid it at all costs, going by the reviews on here it shows how terrible this company has become

Over half of the users on Tinder are fake or potentially fake - new users beware of profiles without the check mark. My first time I had 2 guys fawning all over me both went out of country for work within a few days but kept in touch. No meeting no FaceTime no identity at all with reverse image, stories and documents are very elaborate. Do not send racy photos or money no matter how much they beg, they are not who they say they are. I insist they authenticate or FaceTime or I swipe left, if you find one please report.

Shame on you, Tinder. I should be able to block a user pre-emptively or at any time for any reason. I know I can block people in my personal contact list but otherwise there is no way to block a user and it is the wild wild west and it is a cretin's paradise.

Absolute $#*!
May 1, 2023

Tinder definitely targets/flags women and queer folks + highly favors cis-het men (no surprise.) Be prepared to come across endless fake profiles and perhaps being banned for absolutely no reason. Customer service is garbage too

I only spoke to scammers on it. I think younger women didn't like me swiping right on them so instead of just swiping left they reported me. The company Match Group is openly fascist and censoring. This is from their terms of service. "Tinder reserves the right to investigate and/or terminate your account without a refund of any purchases if you have misused the Service or behaved in a way that Tinder regards as inappropriate, unlawful, or in violation of the Terms of Use, including actions or communications that occur off the Service but involve users you meet through the Service." so in other words anything they don't like. It's just open censorship from the left. I included emails to and from customer service. They just ignored me rather than reply to the last one asking for any specific details for banning me.

I've used tinder for two years now. It's an insanely glitchy app. I've have to re-download it or make new accounts before to fix it but I've never had this problem. I created an account with the same phone number I usually do and I got banned, I uploaded the same pictures I usually do, I was even verified. I think the app was glitching, and banned me thinking I was hacking or something. I didn't talk to anyone and I had gotten one match. I read over their terms of service and I haven't violated them in anyway that I can tell. I emailed them and they told me "everything is in order" and that they "can't do anything else further", They didn't even give me an explanation as to why I was banned. I just hope I don't get banned on their other apps aswell now. I have had friends who've had this happen to them aswell. I would love to use this app again if they ever unban me or I get a new phone and number but even that might not work. Such a poorly designed app.

Just don't
April 27, 2023

The price you pay for membership gets you only a seat at the table. If you want to see and be seen, you have to pay. Not to mention, the pricey "super like" is activated by swiping up, which is how you scroll through photos on Bumble. It appears to be designed such that, if a user is accustomed to Bumble, the user will blow through "super likes", wasting them on profiles that are not desirable. I'd give Tinder a lower rating than 1, if I could.

Full of scammers!
April 25, 2023

My experience has been horrible 9 out of 10 ladies were scammers trying to get me to get off the app and move to WhatsApp or Telegram away from Tinder! I find it hard believe that Tinder hasn't been getting complaints about the women on the app? I had to learn what questions to ask these ladies to try and determine if they were scammers trying to mislead me and basically rob me…
If Tinder has become a place for ladies to take advantage of men then nobody should use this app.
I finally have given up on this site and deleted the app and will never return. I hope that other men don't get taken advantage of and that Tinder listen and start to vet these ladies better or at the very least delete their accounts when complaints are made about scamming!

Biggest and worthless
April 23, 2023

The biggest and perhaps the worthless app! I lost almost a year on Tinder. I'm pretty sure that most profiles on Tinder are either fake or outdated. They never get deleted. Especially the attractive ones. Others are "ladies of the manor" with ridiculously picky requirements. They look down on men in search for their knight in armour. Not for the men with certain degree of self-respect.

SCAMMERS
April 15, 2023

If you don't pay to join within a few days of joining they will ban you. The likes are rigged. I am 71 years of age and I have an 80% strike rate of "likes" from 18 to 25 year olds. Of course I cannot reply to the likes unless I join. It's a con job. Grindr is quite sleazy, yeah it's more honest than Tindr. Don't get sucked in because they cheat you with dishonest profiles to get you to join and like I said if you don't join they will ban you. The ratings on Play store really indicate how dishonest this company is.

This site sucks!

After paying my subscription I was unable to log in. I was instructed to wait 48 yours before trying again. After that when I logged in my subscription was not recognized. Customer support is nonexistant!

Tinder is hands down the most worthless app ever created. I have installed it and reinstalled it at least 10 times on a phone with no other issues on a great internet connection and it will not allow me to finish even setting up the account. And then they have enough nerve to want us to pay for an application that NEVER works! Tinder is run by scumbags.

My account got compromised; but Tinder dont have a button to "Terminate all sessions; and change password" as the rest of normal apps have, with any concern of privacy and security.
I then, exclusive, contacted the customer support for Match; through multiple channels.

One of them replied "We highly recommend that you delete your account and start again, or whoever logged into your account will continue to have access."
Another replied "unfortunately, we are not associated with Tinder"
