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.

Apparently Tinder is a game of chance but chances of finding a genuine and decent woman are very low. It's like finding a gem in the dirt. Another pet peeve on Tinder is sudden ban for no reason and loss of all contacts. In other words, they don't have a client-oriented approach anymore. They are not responsible for anything. No cases of scam are being scrutinized. They don't provide that service they claim to provide. They used to do it 5-6 years ago, but sadly, not anymore.

Scammers
March 25, 2023

The site is a joke. You get banned for no reason. I must be too legit for the app, because word of mouth has it that only scammers, prostitutes and robots lurk the app.

Paid v free
March 24, 2023

I've had the free version and subscription. I found that once you're not paying you rarely get any matches. I'm also on hinge and get matches frequently. Maybe it's a coincidence but I really doubt that.

90% of good looking ladies profiles are scam
March 21, 2023

Tinder is at its bottom. FULL of scammers and fake profiles. Don't even try to start a conversation if there's a professional photo and no profile description. Now of all the others that seem legit you'll spend a lot in likes and boost and you will not hear from any of those. The only profiles answering are the crypto scams. There's plenty of stolen models photos… just do a search around…

Fake people and liers
March 20, 2023

If you want one night stands and fake people not forgetting liers and swindlers tinder is definitely your best bet
If you want to find a husband or wife rather go to church or the supermarket that's your best bet

I paid for a gold membership subscription but tinder for an unclear reason banned my account. I didn't get any explanation for why my account was deactivated. I was not refunded either for my subscription! The only reason I got was that i broke against the community rules. When I appealed to tinder they refused to give me any explanation which is very unpleasant since I didn't break against its rules or can not recall any such thing from my message history. Unacceptable behaviour from tinder and I would advise: do NOT use this application for dating.

Also tinder, can restrict how often your profile is viewed (which is out of your control) and you may be shadowbanned without knowing it.

Very frustrating that tinder isn't capable of understanding settings! If I set it to 30mi I don't want to waste time on people 70-112 mi away! Seriously, what is the point of setting

CNN recently showed a documentary about how most young guys are giving up internet dating, I stand with them as an older guy as women according to that documentary are becoming more picky and are more likely to swipe left ( say no to us) unless we are rich or good looking, I say do your purpose in life,job, charity or calling work on yourself, forget dating it's far more productive and economically smart.

Maybe I was swiping too fast or account was flagged fake (all pictures real, bio nice, messages too). I first noticed stagnating likes (shadow banned), then "account under review" in the morning, banned 1 hour later. Customer support doesn't respond. Guys, if you think why you see many pictures of cats and horses on Tinder…stop reporting accounts from real women

If you want to be scammed use this site. All profiles are fake. You match with a ton of people but all are either fake or they are there to scam you and get your information and money.

Tinder stole my money
February 9, 2023

Paid 6 months subscription. After 1 month the app started showing same users every time I close and reopen it, my 5 stars didn't reset everyday as they should because I am a tinder gold subscriber. Reported the problem and tinder banned me accusing me I violated their terms of use. I contacted my lawyer, she said it isn't true. I only matched with one lady and we barely chatted. I haven't posted any inappropriate photos and I didn't post any fake bio or linked any other website.
My advice to you, never pay because you might get banned for no reason and you won't get your money back. Also you should know that you get a lot of likes from fake users at first, after you pay you won't receive one.

I been on here for maybe 3 days now and it's a total waste of time. Everyone you match with don't even respond back to text. It's a spam account everyone is on there for the likes and to get clout. Ohh look at me and not even respond

4+ years on tinder
January 13, 2023

I have been with tinder for four plus years and never received a stupid guide line issues or a report the point being it's that whoever reported me because I didn't want to hangout with them got my account locked and can't make a new one now so I would like my account back and for tinder to hear both side of the story instead of one it a a two ways street and you could do better at your jobs for that

NEVER BUY GOLD OR PLATINUM SUBSCRIPTION FROM THIS NOT-FAIR, EGOISTICAL COMPANY. TINDER = LOST MONEY. NO REFUND. NO SUPPORT

I used tinder as a paid platinum subscriber with an annual (12-month) subscription. After 4 months of use, my account was banned from Tinder without any explanation or warning. All my attempts to contact support and explain -
«Dear Customer Support, I signed up to find love and never had the intention to break any rules, I was polite to members as can be seen from my message history. My profile contains true information about me as well as photos. Please check my message history and you will see that I was always polite, the photos belong to me and the profile description is written correctly and politely, I can change something if I did wrong»

- to which I received the standard answer

"You violated the rules of the community, the answers in your case will no longer be provided, this is our last message»

…. REALLY? SERIOUSLY?

As a result, losing money and not being eligible for a refund from either Tinder or Apple because the payment was made more than 60 days ago. This is such disrespectful for a person who paid for a year sub. And did not even receive an answer why he was banned.
I would understand if I was being rude or if the photos were fake, but no, my profile was perfect and correct, and I was respectful in communicating with everyone on the platform.

DON'T DO IT!
January 2, 2023

Yes, I joined Tinder for the same reason most men do and I have heard the stories from youtub on down the line. But life is the best teacher after all, Now I have had an inactive profile on Tinder for some years swiped on several thousand pictures of the years. But I got borrowed and I signed up for their $75.00 plan WHAT A COMPLETE MOTHERF****ER WASTE OF $$$ AND TIME.
1) You cannot pick the race of the person you want to talk to
2) You cannot pick a body type
3) You cannot pick from another country
4) You have to set up with pictures and everything before you can even look up any profiles. What is the old saying I want to test drive and kick the tires before I decide if I want to buy it or not.

The majority of the profiles are complete fake whatsapp, onlyfans and sites of that nature. I dropped the site after barely a month. My advice for all of us men is we go back to the old school method of meeting women walking up to them at a party, club, bar and strike up a conversation. There are no good dating sites anymore just do a google search under complaints about any site you will see what I mean.
