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.

Not many responses
January 2, 2023

Surprisingly there were a lot of pretty girls in my area on tinder. However moat the girls you match don't even reply/say anything and the few that do just want you to add them in snap. I don't have a snap. I only had barely a conversation with 1 person and after like 3 days she stopped reply. Also idk if tinder has a way to unmatch poeple. Thought tinder woulda been somewhat of a decent dating site but not really

After 3 years of having a Gold Tinder account I was unexplicably banned. I have asked for an explanantion and a review of the decision but all I have received is a generic reply that I have violated the terms and conditions, no information on what I apparently did! I have always acted in an ethical way on the site, so I know I haven't done anything to violate the terms and conditions. The problem started when their system crashed and I couldn't log in, I kept having to verify I was human by choosing the correct box with the Bat. Very soon after I received a message I had been banned! The Support team 'ghost' my inquiries and offer no support at all actually. I had 6 months remaining on my Gold membership so it's not only unfair it's also cheated me of the money I have paid. I'm extremely unsatisifed with the service, which can not be described as professional or ethical. My recomendatión is that you find another dating site because this one is a disaster!

Waste of time and money

They give matches who don't meet your criteria and you get too many likes to be true. What a scam! Don't waste your money!

After reading some reviews on here I'm finding on average tinder has a poor rating. Which I whole heartedly agree with! I was a gold member for a while and had my account banned suddenly and without an explanation. What a scam. I didn't even step outside their overly-strict community guidelines. I'm not sure if they have snowflakes or algorithms policing this piece of crap dating app or what, but they are doing it wrong. Kinda makes sense now why they ranked 22nd out of dating apps. LOL!

I suppose my title might be innacurate. Tinder fails even as a waste of time. I've been on for a few years now and haven't made any sort of contact on any level. Paying for their gold or platinum does nothing; I've paid for both. Absolute waste of money. I doubt there's actual people on their site. Doing literally anything else with your time would be a better use of it rather than going on Tinder.

The site is good! I won't say anything bad. But I'd still prefer another site. Recently created my profile, met a girl. And that same evening we went for a walk! So if anyone is interested, then here is this site https://goo.su/2mZS9t

A plethora of unhinged narcissists and unbelievable amount of fake profiles and probably thousands scammers. Women with face filters, photos of food and flowers feels like it's just padding out with spam profiles. If you want to meet someone on there I'd be sceptical.

Disappointment

Actually not so bad. But all actions are subscription-only. To use everything, you need a subscription. So if you don't want to spend your money, then I recommend this site.https :// bit.ly/3WVH9bf

Switch to badoo or lovoo
November 14, 2022

I was using tinder for a while and suddenly I got banned. First I was frustrated because I paid a whole year of a subscription and I don't get my money back, and nobody told me why they banned me, I am always very polite in my conversation so I have no idea. Customer service is no where to be found. Now after using other apps like badoo and lovoo I realized that they are much better and they have the same features as tinder for free. I would get a lot of fake profiles in tinder, not anymore, Also I get much more matches and have much more features that I didn't have in tinder.

The story from this site. I met a girl. I liked everything, although I behaved quite strangely. And then they send a notification that you need to pay to continue the correspondence. I paid, I write to her further, and it turns out that it was a bot. I do not advise you to use it! But I recently found a better site. All real people, and you don't even have to pay. Try this https://goo.su/szNE0EX

So my account got banned like 10 minute after creating it I didn't have a convesation there with anyone, only swiped on one person, there was nothing inappropriate about my pictures (fully clothed etc) nor my description (I mentioned I was traveling in a foreign country to me and only looking for friends at the moment). I checked the terms and conditions many times, I did nothing wrong. Customer service doesn't want to help or even provide a supposed reason why I was banned. I've been reading online that this has been happening to a lot of people. Trash app, better to stay away from it

Wasn't that established so we let him have a friend you then gave him a peer power trip and fined me for typing too fast and having typos I have always given it out but not to people who genuinely aren't grateful of the person I left them with

Decided to get my feet wet so I tried Tender for the first time. They have stated that I violated their policy and decided to ban me. I have verified my profile and passed their test and yet, banned for no reasons. I haven't even talked to anyone on their website so I don't even know when they meant by violating their policy. What's a SCAM in taking my money!

If you want to get scammed use Tinder
October 29, 2022

I talked to 5 men, 3 were definitely scammers and were catfishing, one was probable, but I cut our conversations before I was able to find out. One was probably okay, but because of all the catfishing, I decided not to talk to anyone from Tinder.
I reported one to Tinder but nothing was done and the same pictures of a gay executive from Australia were still being used!

Horrible Time On Here!
October 28, 2022

When I get matched with a girl I like. I send her a message. She replies and so on. Conversations AND EVERY SINGLE TIME. They always wait 24 hours of no communication before unmatching me. Like why? They are not only giving me false hope but gives me the impression I did something wrong.

Tinder is not worth it
October 4, 2022

You can't browse people locally, for 1 month is expensive and they match you with people in Melbourne when I'm in rocky, and you can't use tinder properly on laptop.
