Match Dating App : Chat & Meet Customer Service

Match Dating App : Chat & Meet Positive Reviews

Great in many ways, I just didn’t get the notificationThis app has some of the best quality matches that I have encountered. As far as quality women, this app seems to be the cream of the crop. One problem that I will start with is that I am not allowed to receive notifications. I have gone into the settings on my phone multiple times, I have checked the app for Settings and I looked into troubleshooting this but there has been no clearcut definitive answer or solution. The payment plan is to high for most people, at least middle class college students who work full time. If I could afford to upgrade I certainly would for the premium perks. I met one of the most beautiful and incredible women I’ve ever encountered through this app, she lives in NC , I’m in SC. We are taking it slow and developing a mature friendship that is Christ centered with no expectations that could weigh down the power of the connection. She used to be a runway model and I was just offered an opportunity to do my first shoot. My number one piece of advice to anyone using this app or any other App is to guard your heart, guard your mind and when you meet the right person they will be more than willing to earn your trust over time and let their actions speak louder than their words. Match is really a great dating app and probably is the best bang for your buck if you can afford it but as I mentioned before the only premium plans worth having are for 6 months and 12 months. I can’t add that into my budget right now in good conscious but aside from that and not being able to get notifications I like it a lot..Montreal CohenVersion: 22.15.01

Authentic People on MatchMatch is the best app to meet authentic people. I’ve been on a few dates with lovely ladies and have had some meaningful conversations through this app. Although, my experiences have not led me to meet that “special someone,” I feel that many of the folks using this app are seeking real dating experiences and meaningful relationships. I didn’t have to worry about stumbling upon scam accounts or sex workers. With that said, I’ve let my subscription expire. When I was a subscribed member, I began to get the feeling that my account was not being promoted in the swipe cycle for other accounts to see—perhaps to encourage me to purchase boosts. My profile views were maybe 1 or 2 a week with only an occasional unprompted like. I actively liked accounts and messaged individuals, and only then, would a profile view or match happen. As soon as my subscription expired, my profile views shot up from 1-2 a week to over 10. My likes also increased substantially. I have also received some “matches”, but unfortunately I cannot view or interact with them in the free version. I wonder if nonsubscriber accounts get more exposure? I was surprised how many non-subscriber accounts I would see. Knowing that they couldn’t see my likes or messages, I felt I was wasting my time. *With the low exposure of my account as a subscriber, I don’t feel the app was worth the cost.* Subscriber accounts should automatically be boosted over non subscribers rather than pushed down the stack. Only non-subscribers should have the option to purchase one-time boosts. It’s backwards..SGR from OCVersion: 22.01.00

Very bad AppGot blocked for no reason at all! I had Match a long time ago and thought about giving it another try. I just signed up again but not as a paid Subscription. And people were sending me messages I can’t see because I am not a paid Member, so I can’t see their messages, and can’t reply to there messages unless you pay. I was trying to figure the app out, and I was Blocked for absolutely no reason at all! I called there customer service number and the lady said that I was going to get a email to unblock my account, I have not gotten any emails from match at all. So I called them back again and got another lady on the phone and she absolutely did not care at all. This time the customer service person said I have to wait 24 to 48 hours for someone to email me and fix this. I was just about to purchase a Subscription! Lucky I didn’t purchase anything from Match. Also why is it cheaper to purchase a subscription on the internet for $38? and on the app for $47? That’s just wrong for them to do that. Still waiting for Match to send me a email to unblock my account! Look at all the bad reviews on here about Match! Unfortunately what a terrible site it has turned out to be! Customer service is not good at all! A total wast of time..Palm harbor FloridaVersion: 21.17.01

Mac in customer service is awesome!!I just recently became a paying member about a month ago. I wasn’t finding very many matches, mostly due to the area I live in being smaller. I wasn’t getting very many responses despite me being very intentional about reaching out to what little potential matches I would find or receive. As a paying member I was offered free dating coaching. I decided to try it out. It was a Friday night and I had no other plans. LOL! Anyway, Mac answers the phone with a very friendly and encouraging tone, and we start chatting. We looked at my profile together, discussed what was great and what could be better, and discussed how I was reaching out to potential matches, and if I was saying the right things (I was 😉). We discussed demographics and other ways to increase traffic and responses. We also talked about the fact that there are a lot of people on the site that are not paying members. They can still read your messages, but they cannot respond. There is a service that they offer, for a monthly fee, where your matches can respond to your messages! We discussed this in detail as well. The phone session was very pleasant and I learned a lot. I was starting to get a bit discouraged, but Mac was great at encouraging and helping me out. Thanks again Mac!.JCodyB77Version: 20.03.00

Second rate hingeEverything you can do on Match you can do in Hinge, but Hinge is so much better. There are very few people who use this app which means you’re going to run out of profiles to look at in less than a week. When that happens, you only have two choices. You can either wait a few days for one or two profiles to look at or you can change your preferences. At least Hinge allows you to look at profiles you skipped in case you decide that you were too picky. The Stand Outs are a complete joke. The only way you can swipe right on these profiles is by paying for a super swipe. Also, most of the time they’re completely outside of your preferences. Most of them were not religious and smoked cigarettes or smoked marijuana. How are these qualified as standouts? There were several times when someone allegedly viewed my profile but the Liked My Profile section was completely blank. Even if I liked those people, it would never result in a match. I guess they viewed my profile but didn’t like it, but I don’t know why the app has to tell you that. Also, it’s a lot more expensive than Hinge, which is a rip off because of how much worse it is..CoolE GamekingVersion: 25.01.00

Match has Excellent Customer ServiceI had a customer service/dating coach phone call with Bailey. I wanted help with updating my profile and how to approach/receive more messages online. She was VERY helpful and so encouraging!! She was so friendly!! She went over my pictures with me, and my entire profile. I just needed one more full-body picture and headshots taken by someone else instead of selfies. We went over my topics I answered. And the summary as well. She read the whole thing and gave specific suggestions like shortening it and adding details here and there. She was also very helpful/encouraging with some insecurities I had about online dating and just dating in general. We talked about various things and then she also told me to be confident, and while it’s a numbers game and it can be hard with ghosting/silence, to remember the end goal of being with the right person for me. She was great! I was feeling discouraged but she gave specific, helpful, candid feedback while being so encouraging and friendly! And I feel ready to keep going lol. I’m so glad I got Bailey as my dating coach on the phone!.Nadia099Version: 21.14.01

“Mac is Where it’s at!” (LOL I KNOW IT’S CORNY)So I came here to give my Match Coach a glowing review, just to be pleasantly surprised that he has this same impact on others as well! I called to receive consultation for general dating advice, such as moving too fast, not ignoring red flags (or intuition), and giving others the benefit of the doubt by being willing to engage in difficult conversations; all tips that Mac was able to provide! Mac was superb in his guidance and was able to offer the advice in a nonjudgmental and unbiased manner. He was also able to set a personal tone for the conversation while still maintaining a high level of professionalism. Truly, there is no wonder as to why his experiences with other customers has already been highlighted as a “top rating”, and I couldn’t agree more! I hope he is recognized internally for his expertise in this field, especially since a lot of people are looking to connect online these days (#Quarantine 😩). Thank you very much for your service, Mac! Keep up the good work, the world needs you! Lol P.S. 5 Stars are not enough!!.D (4/23, 10:45am)Version: 20.07.00

AverageOverall reliable because there are no messages received from fake accounts like other sites. However there are all sorts of messages trying to make you spend more. You wonder what the ultimate goal is: helping you find someone? Or spend as much as possible?.Goog3Version: 23.08.00

ReviewThe majority of the men on here seem to be on here for the wrong reason. I understand that you can’t control that, but that is why I have only purchased weekly subscriptions because I’m not too sure I want to pay to be on a site long term if this is the quality of men on here..Axelrho3!!!Version: 25.05.01

Wish I only paid for a month and not threeI bought a three-month subscription thinking this could be a long-term dating app for me. I realized that after setting my parameters within a few days I’ve seen all the profiles I was interested in. And all the people who liked me. The new profiles come out very slowly. At least for my search (educated, within a limited age range, and fit). So I’m pretty much done with this after a couple weeks but I paid for three months. Before forewarned. I also paid for the feature where people without subscriptions can write me back. Not a single one has used it. I am going on a date tomorrow with someone I met through the app, however, so if that works out, it will have been worth it. But I would advise get it for a month and see what you think before committing to a longer subscription..Tinnitus ChapVersion: 21.13.00

Not able to loginI created an account paid the subscription through Apple Pay and got email saying account is created. But then I was not able to login and when I try to go through forgot password flow- it says the account is blocked. Customer call service is so poor and they were not able to assist. I wonder how people say it works for them. Totally sucks.Kanimo1Version: 21.09.01

Match Dating App : Chat & Meet Negative Reviews

Misleading and Borderline FraudulentBeware, like seriously beware. Match has you to sign up, create a profile, answer some questions, and upload your photos. Match does all of this without disclosing they charge you if you respond to a message you sent to someone they supposedly match with you. There’s more to this review, read it fully. I want you all to seriously research this app and please be cautious at every step. Once your profile is set up you will be sent a few random likes/matches who you can’t see and magically you will be able to respond to those likes/matches, however they are not real individuals. Your responses will go unanswered. You will soon realize the profiles are not active users and the ones that are number into the teens. They advertise millions of users, they really mean millions of users signed up and realized it was a scam and ditched the site. You are left with liking profiles that haven’t been active for years. Then you wake up one morning like I did and see your account is charged over a hundred dollars. Apple fixed this for me and when I went to delete the account guess what happened; magically there were two new matches or likes which were not there before and the matches photos were hidden. The photos were not there minutes before Apple refunded to my account those fraudulent chargers. I literally watched this scam in real time. This is a scam and I can see a class action lawsuit in the near future for this website. Stay away!.Painfully Honest HomieVersion: 23.05.00

Materialistic appI’ve used many apps and most of them are full of bots , match is good in the sense that there are real people . My issue is that I am not rich or “successful” and just a person tired of being contacted by bots or scammers and match seems to control that . My issue is that they are not inviting to regular people who are looking for love and not just materialistic things. I am in between finances and it seems that only well off people use this app . I paid for 6 months and I see a buncha models looking for their lawyer or doctor person cuz they want financial freedom . It’s frustrating because everyone’s story is different but as a person who’s trying to look for a connection and not just appearances , you get overlooked . It saddens me that this is what we’ve come to. It’s a measuring contest of who has more to show than the next person . Ima let my 6 months run out and I’m done because it’s not about the inside , it’s about the outside and how much money you have in the bank. I’m disappointed. I wear my heart on my sleeve and use honesty but it’s not enough. But if you have money and are money bags you will find plenty of people willing to take your money . I would like for once to find a dating app that just deals with connection rather than “what can you provide for me financially” . It’s best for those who already have money and established , not so much for the underdogs with big hearts who just want a chance at love.Valle FrescoVersion: 21.06.00

If you aren’t politically left, this isn’t for youI have been on Match on and off for years, and I find it nearly impossible to meet anyone here. In fact, I don’t think I ever have. People seem to take forever to respond to messages , weeks or months. And often times they take so long to respond that I am actually dating someone else and I don’t respond back. If you try to update your profile with exactly what you were looking for and the “ match admin or staff” doesn’t approve what you write in your profile they won’t save the changes and they won’t notify you that they didn’t see if the changes. So when you are wondering why you aren’t hearing from anyone and you go back into your profile your old profile still exists because that was the only thing approved. 76% of the people who are on online dating apps are statistically left leaning, so match caters to them not to anyone else. When you are setting preferences for searching for your person, they tell you anything that is a hard no set it as a “dealbreaker”. And then in the next sentence, they will tell you if you have too many deal breakers they won’t be able to find your match. Well, maybe if I was able to update my profile and right exactly what I was looking for and I didn’t care if I offended the weak Maybe I could find exactly what I was looking for and they would have a match for me. Match feels awful lot like I am being coached to only search for what match has available, and I’m not allowed to search for what I’m actually looking for. If I could write this zero stars, I would. 👎🏻.Truth speaker22Version: 24.01.00

Not worth it, bad for you and your dating lifeI used this app for months without paying for any specific services and it was working to an extend. Then I decided to subscribe for a month to see if it makes a difference. I used one of the services available to paid customers namely consulting with a “dating expert”. Even though the consultation was somewhat informative, I didn’t like the fact that at the end of consultation session, the consultant promised 5 profile boosts which I never received. She also strongly encouraged me to come here and write a good review and include her name (that’s basically how many of the good reviews that include names are up here) Additionally, being a paid user, I got the capability to send messages to unlimited number of users. I also was able to check the profiles that I previously liked. That was the point where I learned the algorithm rotates a set number of users in front of me to interact with instead of removing the profiles that I already messaged. I discovered that I sent the “hey how are you” kind of introductory message several times to some of the users because the algorithm has shown their profiles to me repeatedly over time. I’m living in a metropolitan area with over 2 million inhabitants, If match doesn’t have new users in such a geographical region, they should just be straight and own the problem. It’s bad to be the creepy guy inadvertently. I don’t recommend this app because not only it’s bad for your dating life, it’s also bad for your reputation..MS50595059Version: 21.14.01

Hungry money thievesIf you think by buying the monthly subscription will get you a chance to meet someone and start a conversation out of nowhere, here’s the catch; Too many profiles with stolen photos, their moderator is set for you to believe that your profile is VIEWED also when you send a simple GREETING nobody answers. Did couple of experiments. Posted my photos “I am a good looking person, I do modeling” For one day my account after a certain amount of time sending messages the system stopped functioning properly, then all I was getting on my feed bunch of heavy set looking people xxxxL. There’s no point in buying a subscription; CALIFORNIA people you have 3 days to CANCEL if you want your money reimbursement other than that you gave away your money to the money hungry thieves. I have couple of friends who have tried this dating site and the same experiences; there are no real people and even if they’re out there in the system nobody is paying for messaging someone. If you still have doubts about it; this is a money making app too many profiles with moderators making it seem that it’s real people out there wanting to chat or make it seem that you’re not alone in their money making system. DONT GIVEN YOUR MONEY FOR FREE. For the people that pay subscriptions it’s a minority in 48 states and nobody in the real world in your neighborhood are subscribed....if you live in the big cities, don’t expect to find too many people, expect the fake accounts in a vast majority..Wan Yun LeeVersion: 21.02.00

Unable to VerifyThe app itself is great; although, I was only able to use it for about an hour before being forced to verify my phone number, which normally would not be a problem. Unfortunately, my phone number has been blocked or something although I’ve never used the site before. Initially I paid for the subscription at $150 for six months but ultimately had to dispute the charges because I have not been able to access what I paid for. On top of that, Match no longer has a customer service phone number so customers have to reach out via email and wait 24-48 hours for a possible response. They have a live chat feature which is nice except the chat hours (8:00-5:00 CT) are not accurate. I reached out to them and did not receive a response until 10 AM CT. Again, not a problem, however when I tried to address this issue with the chat service, they forwarded my case to an email representative, of which, I still have not heard back. It’s going on the third day of silence and I am unable to delete my information from the website. Then after attempting to login again, my account has been suspended. All I wanted to do was verify my phone number to start matching with potential people, I was willing to pay for the subscription service, but due to their poor customer service, I will be taking my business and money elsewhere. Save your time and money. Tinder has better customer support..Veridian21Version: 24.06.00

TerribleMatch is owned my the Match Group. Look them up. You'll see they own most dating platforms out there such as Tinder, Plenty of Fish, OkCupid, OurTime, etc. They are in business to make money for their shareholders. They want to keep you a paying subscriber as long as they can. Without a subscription and they add-on to allow non-subscribers communicate to you. The majority of women are non-subscribers. They may talk to you, but you will definitely communicate with scammers. The majority of the profiles are fake. It's just disguising. Match may take one away, but there are a hundred more following ... day in, day out. Match does next to nothing to stop the fake profiles from initially getting on the platform. If you're silly enough to believe the fake reviews here or on other review platforms - just treat EVERY profile as fake. Start looking for the things a genuine profile has such as multiple photos of the same person matching the characteristics in the profile, a blue tick, a green clover, a favorite song, a voice sample, and a completed profile giving a good response to all the sections. The more of the latter, the greater your chance this is a genuine profile. Unfortunately, these profiles are few and far between. Before subscribing, you could look at the profiles and see what I mean. If you're silly enough to have subscribed, go turn off auto-renew. If I could give them zero or negative stars, I would. Good luck.Mtb-foreverVersion: 23.09.00

Didn't have a chanceI've heard stories about people who met their wife or husband on Match, but it did not work out for me in the slightest. I signed up for Match for 6 months. During that time I got a total of 3, just 3 messages. 1 was a fake profile wanting me to sign up for a website, 1 we sent a few messages back and forth then they stopped replying and months later they still hadn't replied. Nothing negative, insulting, or creepy was said. They just stopped responding for some reason and even though they were still online they never replied back to me all that time later. The 3rd and final message had involved literally 2 messages and they asked me to meet up with them immediately, which just raises a ton of red flags for me. I'm not looking to get murdered. Those 3 messages they sent first. Everytime I sent a message first to someone online I never got a single response out of the entire 6 months I was on there. I liked over 100 girls and not a single one showed any interest period. I got a couple profile views, but you have to view someone's profile to get the other person to unlike you even if you never liked them in the first place. Even if you've gone through all suggested people, the next day or 2 they'll show them again or it won't show literally anyone for days. I even expanded the range to the max to 50 or 100 miles and I still kept seeing just the same profiles over and over. I do NOT recommend Match whatsoever. If you have had any luck count yourself extremely lucky because I had absolutely no luck out of the entire 6 months and over 100 people period..Anonymous67597Version: 21.07.00

Algorithm problem?I’m updating my review to tell you all how bad the “free” version is.... you can’t see anything, do anything, send messages or receive message or read anything or talk to anyone or ANYTHING!! And they charge a freaking fortune!! $40 stupid dollars to send a sentence to someone? This is bull****. All the other apps at least let you send a sentence. Or if they want you to pay it’s not $40 freaking dollars. I’m a “woman seeking woman” and tons of men show up in my filters. So I talked to them and they said “oh you need to report those profiles...” so I did... over and over and over again. Probably 40-50 reports so far? Waste of my time. I edited my profile once and added some info about my likes and it got denied. After the staff reviewed my edit and denied it, they said I was “revealing too much personal information”....ummmm I added that I liked hiking. So if you can review and deny edits such as mine you can review and deny profiles of men posing as women.... Also I get the same people cycled through my “discover now” tab. So people I have X’d out multiple times keep showing up in my search. And also people I have “liked” or messaged also keep showing up so in order to get past it I have to either like or X them once again. And I’m paying for this? When I reported these issues they weren’t much help. Fix your algorithm. And the men showing up are the most annoying. Review demographics.... as much as you reviewed my “I like hiking” and denied my edit..JjjjaaaayyyVersion: 19.12.01

Overpriced hookup siteI’m appalled by this experience. I took the time to thoughtfully fill out my profile with the expectation I’d find more matches in line with my responses to their match making questions than not. I appreciate and recognize that these services also offer up other profiles to help showcase matches that could be good matches outside of what we profile. I embrace and encourage an open and growth mindset in all aspects of my life. That said, the matches they matched me with could not be polar opposite 99% of the time. Even matching me on 2% wasn’t feasible. And their “coaches” are either AI bots (poorly programmed) or they don’t take match making serious. Every two weeks, I would get a recommendation that led with “we know you aren’t ideal matches, but you two both have a dog or you both drink in moderation. Why don’t you reach out and start a conversation.” Then they’d send me offers to sign up for this service. Are you serious?!? This is acceptable match making services you feel people should pay for on top of your subscription access? And by the way, they’d send me these recommendations on profiles I passed on (because Match forces you to like or pass on a profile before seeing the next one). I’ve never done services like Tinder because I’m not looking to take advantage of their value proposition. I invested in Match to ultimately find a partner. What I experienced is a paid version of Tinder..Sassybeachgirl76Version: 23.02.00

InconsistentHad this for about 8 months between the premium and standard subscription, and I’ll say I only had success with meeting one person that had Genuine interest. My issue was the inconsistencies. It seemed like a had a few matches but when reaching out with a message I would get few reply’s, to some at which I was curious if these were just bot accounts. After some time I just stopped using it on weeks end. Recently, I did a renewal (by accident) because I didn’t intend on auto renewal to be active so here I am with another month. The past week though I was actually getting quite a few matches, and ones that seemed like Actual matches with similar interest. Long story short I had a match that finally seemed worthwhile and we had a lot of common as she said the same to. Finally, I was thinking to myself that this match thing was all worth it and it just takes time to get good matches. Buttttt moments later i check my messages to come to find I was unmatched…The thing is I find that I meet more people at the gym, work, or general public rather than what my experience was on here. Sure, everyone is likely to get unmatched quite a few times, but for me it was more about having inconsistent non responsive matches and then having one match just go down the drain after spending a lengths time talking. Surly not worth it for the price you pay . This overall was not my cup of tee..COman20Version: 22.03.00

Don’t use these crooks. Poorest service of allBeware they will suddenly shut your account down without warning or explanation. Even though you broke no policies. They claim you did but when you call for customer service you get nothing but a run around. When you leave a review they contact you as if they are concerned and want you to email them. You email them and they do nothing but continue the termination of your account. They stole my money that I paid for subscriptions. They are nothing but legalized crooks in my book. The lowest customer service around. They won’t contact you to ask about any concerns first. That’s a poor way to do business. Espionage a paying subscriber. I sent my number after a lengthy conversation and apparently they thought they knew more than me about when and who to send my number to. Sorry but that’s the customers business, not for Match to decide. So I called and went through the verification process and they still couldn’t unlock it. They contacted me saying I violated the policy. What did I do Fife? Answer me! I’ll get up in your face down in Texas. I was a legal person. You had my legal information. I never sent anything in a message that was sexual or any such thing. All I did was give someone my phone number and you instantly shut me down. I was a paid subscriber. You bunch of low down crooks!!! Fine! I’m on multiple other sites. Do something!!!.Iphonereviews2021Version: 21.17.00

Lots I didn’t like on MatchFirst of all, I had no idea until I paid for a 6-month subscription, that anybody in the whole wide world could access my profile, despite the preferences I set for age and distance to keep this from happening. Not only did this feel like a total invasion of some semblance of privacy, within a day of joining I had 99+ matches in my “other“ inbox, which consisted of men between 22 and 74 from all over, who did not fulfill my preferences. Talk about overwhelming!!! Finding those that did match my parameters proved to be quite a challenge. In fact, it wasn’t until near the end of my subscription that I stumbled onto the mutual search feature—which I could only access from my laptop and not the app! Why on earth wouldn’t Match feed me those profiles through the “discover” feature, rather than sending me profiles of people I had nothing in common with each and every day??? And yes, they do have dating coaches, but when I attempted to call, I would get a message that I needed to contact them during specific hours (usually while I was at work and not jacking around on a dating app). I also really hated knowing how recently everyone has been on the app. If you’re waiting for someone to reply, but you see that they’ve recently been active, you pretty much know you’ve been relegated to the “B team,” which is discouraging. The only thing I liked better about match was that it actually gives you space to write about what you’re looking for and provide more about yourself. Hinge and Bumble are far better, IMHO..DrbeckyHVersion: 19.15.01

Maybe it’s the market leader but it’s heavily flawedUPDATE: Revising my review DOWN to one star. Received a developer response about my original review below saying reach out to their support team for help. Did so MULTIPLE times with ZERO response so on top of a flawed system (so many potential people I’d like to try and match with but don’t bother because I know they can’t respond as they’re not subscribers, I guess they at least now show you who is where as before I was wasting all this time writing introductions to each person I liked. Not realizing the vast vast majority couldn’t read let alone reply.) On top of a broken paradigm their support is unresponsive and useless. App works fine but being required to pay just to see messages and likes from an ALREADY paying subscriber makes this apps paradigm hot garbage. STAY AWAY. —- Almost all of these dating apps are owned by Match. But match itself is definitely flawed. There’s zero way to contact someone who doesn’t pay for the apps premium service. Zero. Zilch. Even if you’re premium and you send a note with your like they can’t see you and can’t reply and can’t even see your message to stand out. It’s pointless to even like someone who’s not a subscriber greatly limiting your options. At least now you can see who’s a subscriber. I spent weeks trying to match with people writing heartfelt introductions not realizing they couldn’t see any of it let alone my profile. Such a waste. At least let the people who are liked by premium users see their profile and read their message. Maybe even get a few replies in..GimpyviperVersion: 21.07.00

App jerks you around w/o subscriptionDon’t bother getting this app if you aren’t willing to pay at least $25 up front. Vast majority of important features are hidden behind a pay wall, I clouding things as basic as dm’ing your matches. I get that the company has to make money off the app somehow, but the way the app basically jerks you around if you haven’t got a subscription is completely asinine. Sad part is that I likely would’ve ponied up, at some point, if I had at least something to work with. But as is, this app without a subscription is essentially worthless. FOLLOW-UP: So match developers have been so kind as to clarify that you CAN message people without paying on the match app, but you can only message “top picks” identified by a blue ribbon on their profile. This does not change my opinion much. I still find this extremely asinine. To put it simply, I cannot think of another dating app that I have tried that has done this. Bumble does not do this. Coffee meets bagel did not do this. Tinder does not do this. On all of these apps, the main functionality of messaging people you match with is not locked behind a pay wall in any way. Meanwhile, Match locks the vast majority of your potential matches away, essentially meaning you either pay or get almost nothing out of the app. This just strikes me as Match jerking its users around, and trying to rail road them into having to pay a decent amount every month, just so they can actually use the app. Once again, I just suggest that you don’t waste your time with this app..NHaydenDettsVersion: 21.04.00

Sad but true 😑I joined match as a paying member almost a year ago. While I have had a few phone conversations with a few different guys I have yet to go out on a date! One of the most disappointing parts of this app is the daily emails of highlights. Most of the men that are sent to me in this email for a “look” are men that I saw usually the day before and “passed on” So I changed my tactics and tried blocking the men I am not interested in, and I still get the email suggesting them as a possible match. Even after contacting customer service and support I still get them. Customer service wanted me to forward all the emails of highlights and blocked members, ridiculous! Why can’t you fix whatever algorithm you have programmed! So if you are going to try this app be prepared for repeat matches that you pass on to just keep coming back at you. This has been disappointing at best. I have changed my profile numerous times, updated my pictures and have not made a single connection. Then there are the scammers and the fake profiles. Don’t even get me started. Ladies I would say the best way to filter these ones out is ask them to either video chat or FaceTime them! They quickly disappear. So buyers beware if you are looking for a genuine connection….there are a lot more frogs out there than princes. Sad but true. Match had not been worth the money or the hype..Brenda 951Version: 24.08.00

Similar to other reviewsI did like the services but I feel like someone else that posted a review where things were going well and then out of nowhere for no reason with a paid prescription my account was blocked. I literally did not do anything unethical or anything altogether… I tried to talk to customer service and nothing just that there is a problem with my account I feel like Matt did the unethical conceptsBut I imagine since I hit OK to use her agreement there’s nothing I can do… I should at least be able to share my side of the story I mean with the world we live in and all this hacking and stuff it’s ridiculous that they’re just gonna take my money and shut me down ridiculous!! I noticed there was a reply from Match after a similar review as this maybe Max will do the same thing and I will have my chance to explain what happened to me thank you to update my review I emailed that email address that it says in so many users response from Match and I guess we will see if that does anything but basically I have had a similar experience to so many other people it was a great service for a long time and like I was saying the same thing happened to me my kit account got suspended and I literally didn’t do anything wrong i’m not that kind of person I guess unless I don’t understand correctly if someone else reports something you’re done for that’s ridiculous I should’ve had my chance to explain that I did nothing wrong I realize I’m repeating myself but it’s that straightforward… Thank you hopefully they will get back to me and do What they say and discuss it more with me I guess we will see.AK123912Version: 21.13.00

Changes making things worseAs an older man, I find the app keeps changing for the worse. First, they stopped showing information that potential matches fill out, such as the age and height ranges of men that women are looking for. So you don’t know if you’re wasting your time right off the bat in contacting a woman. (Although good luck if you’re a man under 6 feet tall. Most women on the site won’t even consider you.) Then I found out they don’t show you everyone on the site. They prescreen who they show you but don’t tell you that. For instance, if you’re an older man and start looking at women more than 10 years younger than you, you’ll think there aren’t many on the site. But even in your normal age range they don’t show you everyone. Recently, they did away with the inbox, where you used to be able to see whether your messages had been read. Seeing if and when your message had been read was a feature they touted when I first signed up. But they’ve changed the inbox tab to a tab called “matches.” With “matches” you can only tell if your message has been read if a woman replies or views you. They told me they did that to reduce clutter in your inbox. Say what? You could reduce clutter anytime you wanted by simply deleting messages, and I doubt many men are flooded with messages. Also, any woman, even non-subscribers, used to be able to reply as long as you were a subscriber. Now, they’re charging you extra to guarantee non-subscribers can reply. They seem intent on making it more difficult to find your match in order to keep you subscribed longer. I used to think Match was a high-quality site. I no longer do..TheHuntmanVersion: 21.09.01

Poorly designed and ineffective due to low user populationI thought I would give Match a try because I can afford paid subscriptions, and I thought I might find potential partners who were also serious about dating (by filtering out people who are just trying apps for fun, since they wouldn't pay). But there's no way to tell if someone is a subscriber. Worse yet, I found that where I live, in one of the 5 largest cities in America, there are only about 800 accounts of women ages 28-35 within a reasonable distance, and the vast majority (80-90%) are inactive. I paid for the "anyone can reply" feature and sent dozens of messages to "recently active" members, and only a handful even ended up viewing my profile. It could be fake profiles, or maybe women get spammed so much they have to ignore most messages - either way, there's no way it can work. I've had at least some success meeting women IRL on other apps, so I'm not writing a bad review because I'm bitter about dating, this app was just literally useless for me. I think most of the success stories are from years ago when Match was different (pre-smartphone), and people hadn't moved on to newer options. I spent almost $200 on this and I'm fortunate enough that it's not a significant amount of money for me, but I feel really bad for anyone who isn't so lucky and wasted their money..173683959588Version: 23.11.00

Zero starsThought it was going well and was actually finding women I wanted to chat with. Had a paid subscription. Then out of nowhere, my account was blocked for no reason. I called customer support (the number to call is hidden. Must do some research to find it) ,received no explanation over the phone and said they would be back with me in 24 to 48 hrs and would reply via email. It took more like 5 days to get back with me. The only explanation by the email I received was it was in the best interest of the Match community due to the terms of use. That’s bs, a pre-generated email, and a cop-out to elude the question. They never gave me any good reason. I never did anything that I know of to cause this. I had deleted my account once before I had a paid subscription and tried to use the same email when I signed up for paid but it wouldn’t let me in even though their email said I could just pick up where I left off. Not true! So I used another email. I don’t know if that was why they blocked me but if it was they are relying too much on the computer system to make decisions because it may have seen it as a duplicate. Another thing is that a lot of the profiles seem to be fake and are only there to spark your interest in paying for a subscription. I will never use Match again and do not recommend anyone to use it..Sparkr~Version: 20.04.00

AtrociousToday marks my 7th day of investment and 11th email exchange to gain a refund. The refund was not initially requested due to dissatisfaction of service but due to my concern of data breach and highly unusual activity on the platform as to which I am sure many have testified prior to me. Fake accounts. Suspicious rhythms of communication that often lead to a request for personal information within the first three messages. A lack of verified profiles with little to not information. It is my assumption that photos might be being utilized of former account holders, or unaware owners of photos, at least. After a week of correspondence I have been told that I cannot be refunded as they have no way to refund me as my account is now deleted, yet they still have access to my bank account to charge me four days past I was told in bold letters that “you will not be charged again,” on the 26th of May with my bank having a pending charge on the 29th. Do better Match. You are in the hospitality business. These simple exchanges should be exactly that, simple. My advice. Stay away from Match. I am assuming that these platforms are being overrun either voluntarily or without strategy of recourse to deal with AI and phishing. All said, such a disappointing experience completely unrelated to what should be the focus of the service offering. Basic business..IndeliblyJPVersion: 26.08.00

Match Recycles Old Likes...Why!!Match does this really stupid thing where the “likes” you give to people will reset after only a few weeks. Your feed of people will just start to be a lot of the same people you’ve already seen. Perhaps it’s some ploy by the Match developers to keep a user engaged by never running out of people to show you in the area, but the problem is that you just end up liking the same people over and over again and expecting different results...It’s a form of insanity by definition! I’ve never seen any other dating app out there do this and it’s really annoying. As a user, it means that I cannot expand my options because the app will just reset instead of showing you new people...I can’t trust the app or this service to help me progress through my dating options if everything just resets after a few weeks. I also felt like the quality of people on this app were not a great as other apps. This service is so expensive! You might think it would lead to a better selection of higher quality people, but the reality is more people are going to be willing to pay a more reasonable price for other dating apps than this one. So don’t waste your money only to have your “likes” reset and for the quality of people to be less than more reasonably priced dating apps. Never again will I pay for this - Just not worth it!!.Steve..4785Version: 21.04.00

100% ScamAny dating app that makes you pay money to see who likes you is a straight up scam. On Match, someone can send you a message apparently, and you can’t see the message until you pay up. I constantly get notifications that someone liked me or sent me a message, then get asked to fork over some cash so I can see it. If that’s not playing on peoples loneliness and feeding false hope to people then I don’t know what is. Haha what an absolute trash dating app I was so disappointed and lost so much respect for Jay Shetty when I saw he was doing ads for this trash. I actually at one point respected him and his opinions. He has no credibility now, he’s sold himself to the devil. Hinge is sadly the ONLY decent dating app left out there. And Facebook dating is actually pretty good, oh and FB dating is 100% FREE!! Please, don’t waste your time or money on this pathetic trash Also, this app has a massive flaw. Even if you bite the bullet and pay for a premium membership, this app holds out some of your best possible matches from your feed. This app calls them your “standout” members, unfortunately I can’t even like or message them….unless, yup you guessed it, have to fork over even more money to buy super likes. So my best possible matches are being withheld from my feed, even though I’m a paying subscriber. Seems fair right?? Just a joke of an app.TACRDVersion: 24.08.00

Something about Match just seems wrongI started using Match with a paid account. I think I paid for six months. What was interesting was how few responses I received from people I reached out to (either by sending a like or messaging them). Most of them didn’t even view my profile (you can see who views your profile with a paid account). At the end of the six months, I let my subscription end. And then it became clear. Without a subscription, Match would let me know I received a like or message but it would blur out the profile photo, not let me view the profile of the person who contacted me, and not let me read the messages until I resubscribed (and it is awfully expensive!) And I suspect that’s the case here…so many free or abandoned accounts on Match and the account holders have no way of knowing who is interested in them until they pay for a rather expensive subscription. Of course I receive frequent emails from Match telling me I have all these people waiting for me to respond. At least with many other dating apps, your free account lets you view the profile of the person who reached out to you. Paid add-ons that supposedly increase your exposure just feel manipulative. I get that Match is a business and needs to be profitable but the way they do things now feels exploitative..Ate EaseVersion: 24.05.00

Very poor customer service to start withIt was a terrible experience. I registered an account and paid for three months subscription ($128), uploaded my photos and finished my profile, verified with my phone number, and then realized that my email has a typo (last letter should be r instead to t). Since I don’t own the wrong email address and cannot get any communication emails, I had to register again with the correct one, and contacted the customer care immediately to fix that. I requested them to merge or just cancel the other account, and transfer the subscription to the correct one. After my email I was told that I need to provide all the details (name, phone number, registration date etc.) so that they can help me. And obviously they have different staff handling this, as I got multiple emails requesting the same info, which I relied multiple times. Then both of the account got banned, and when I requested for help, they first told me to try ‘Forget password’ function, which didn’t work, and I sent them the screenshot of the website, and then I was told that my account will be banned permanently because of violation of community rules. I was so shocked and usually I don’t leave negative comments on apps, but this is outrageous and just want to share with other potential customers..AlicefxVersion: 24.12.01

Feels money GrabbyDecided to finally break down and try this app/site since it’s so well-known, but am so far disappointed. First of all, it’s more expensive compared to many other apps/sites which I was ok with if it provided more opportunities and a better experience, but on the contrary the premium membership gives you less than other sites’ basic memberships and then asks for more money for add-ons that are scattered throughout the site which other apps give you built-in. Feels like buying an expensive airline ticket and them saying “Oh you want a seat too? That’s extra. Oh, you’d like to bring a bag? That’s extra too.” Another annoying experience was scrolling though profiles and accidentally sending a Super Like to a random person as I was trying to swipe. These are paid for entities and they should at least ask for confirmation to make sure mistakes like these don’t happen. How often does this happen? Now I question the Super Likes sent to me. So frustrating, and feels exactly like other money-pit apps that try to have accidents like this happen so you’ll have to buy more and therefore spend more in their app. There’s just some basic things that would make using this site more bearable. I don’t think I would recommend Match, there are so many other options out there..Sir SelfVersion: 23.02.00

Not worth itI used Match in 2023 for a few months. I didn’t find any love connections, but that’s alright. It happens. I decided to try it again just this week. I made a profile, filled in my info and uploaded some photos. You know, did all the basics to get started, including taking their quiz. Everything was fine at first. I scrolled through some potential matches and was feeling hopeful! Later the same day, however, I logged in again only to find that I’d been blocked! I was very confused. So, I reached out to their customer service and reported the issue, figuring maybe it was some kind of technical glitch. I was then asked to fill out a form to appeal my being blocked. I filled out the form and was honest in saying that I didn’t know why I’d been blocked, I’m a real person who is trying to find love and I even included that I’d previously used Match. Their auto response says they respond usually within 24-48 hours. It’s been a couple of days so I emailed the customer service to ask for an update. The response I received was so rude!! They implied I didn’t follow instructions (when I in fact did) and said they considered the matter closed and would no longer respond to any communication from me. OMG!! That’a just awful. I requested a refund from Apple and canceled my account..The Famous KMVersion: 24.14.00

It doesn’t actually MATCH like it COULDI would happily pay for an upgraded membership if I thought I was getting what I am looking for. There are so many apps, it’s overwhelming and would be nice to have a trusted “go to” site. A 24 hour free trial would attract more users as we could quickly determine if the features are worth it. Here’s why I think MATCH doesn’t match at all and EASILY could do so. When I block members, they don’t even stay blocked, so why would I pay? With the virtue signaling vaccination badges, I should be able to search for people that are vaccinated or are NOT because that’s important to me. Political views are another pretty important filter for compatibility. Hello… Maybe I want to look up astrology signs… the moon controls the ocean, right? I’m sick of their matches for who they think I should be compatible with because they are extremely wrong every time. I am actually embarrassed for their brand! The bottom line- They don’t even bother letting you actually customize your preferences and they EASILY could add more filters. Other sites do it. So don’t they want to be the BEST? Why can’t subscribed members message others and they get to reply for free creating a win win and less frustration all around? So WHY would I want to upgrade and PAY for such mediocre service?.CouldumakethismoredifficultVersion: 22.06.00

MAJOR BUG/SAFETY FLAW!!This app and service has/have many problems, but the biggest issue is related to the location-based feature that will show you a list of the other Match users whom you’ve physically crossed paths with/been in close proximity to based upon your GPS coordinates. Normally I’ll just go through the list and block the users I’m not interested in so that they don’t see me in their list and don’t bother messaging me. BUT, I GET A NOTIFICATION EVERY FEW DAYS SAYING “You and J just crossed paths” but when I immediately go to the list (a dozen times recently), there’s no one there, BECAUSE I ALREADY BLOCKED THEM!! J AND I SHOULD NOT BE GETTING NOTIFICATIONS OF EACH OTHERS WHEREABOUTS IF ONE OF US HAS BLOCKED THE OTHER!! This is a MJOR SECURITY AND SAFETY ISSUE!! STALKERS COULD USE THIS APP TO STALK PEOPLE AND FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE!! If you’re going to use this app, DO NOT allow it to use your location data! And demand the developers fix this major issue!! Update to reply to the developers response: YOU CLEART AREN’T LISTENING! I DO NOT want to be notified EVERY SINGLE TIME “J” passes by my house, which is practically every single day!! I’VE ALREADY SAID NO, I’M NOT INTERESTED (via BLOCKING THEM!) Yet you STILL THINK ITS HELPFUL TO TELL ME EVERU FREAKING TIME I’m near by someone I’ve ALREADY BLOCKED?!?? WHAT THE EVER LIVING F#*^% is WEONG WITH YOU?!? This is clearly a bug/poor oversight on the design of this feature, BUT YOU THE DEVELOPER NOT COMPREHENDING BASIC LOGIC IS ON YOU!

Blocked for no reasonI was blocked because someone was unhappy with one of my responses. I was not aggressive in my response to him whatsoever. I simply defended myself and did not attack him. He was just extremely emotional and acted irrationally by reporting one of my messages out of anger. I attempted to appeal the report but the process was extremely painful and the company refused to give me an actual reason for why my message was deemed inappropriate (I’m still currently trying to get a response from someone). This aggressive and emotional person gets to continue reporting messages when he decides to get angry. I would suggest not bothering with this app. If you accidentally make the wrong person angry you could end up in the same position that I’m in. The app is too expensive for this type of stress. As an update, I did e-mail the address that the moderator has been suggesting to people a couple of days ago. I have not received a response so I still have no idea why my message was worthy of termination. To my knowledge, the person that acted irrationally gets to remain on the app and report people that he doesn’t agree with. I still highly suggest not bothering with this app. Apple did refund me so I’m very thankful for that, but the app was not worth this stress. It puts people in very unfair situations..Rach-CavVersion: 22.02.00

Scam billing. Read this review.This app Banks off the fact that you’ll subscribe thinking it’s a one month purchase. Here’s how their scam works. You join the site make a profile and all that. Then their dating app coach(a chat bot) messages you. You try to view messages, a pop up comes up. In order to message buy a subscription. You think the lowest tier subscription is a monthly thing, think you'll give it a shot, someone is messaging you why not. Press purchase and you get billed for six month straight. After charges and everything it’s around 140 bucks. They bank off the fact that people make that mistake and it’s definitely set up for people to make that mistake. Read small fine print on your phone. Anyways, in order for you to get a refund it can be tricky. It took me a week and several times on both ends of match and apple. In the end it’s apple costumer service that gives you the refund. It took three different agent until I got one that refunded me my money. You need to make sure and explain to them everything and that it’s not an in-app purchase, that it’s a subscription purchases. They have to refund your money. Either way, it’s a shady app for doing that and the developers know what they are doing. Don’t waste your time with shady business. I’m not the only one this has happened too..Max8778778544432Version: 19.12.01

Overall dissatisfactionI pay for a premium subscription. I’ve used Match before but not sure why I came back. My profile either isn’t shown to people I have a lot in common with or there are not many real profiles to choose from that have much in common. The ones that are “especially chosen for me,” the Highlights, you can only ‘like’ if you pay extra money for permission to like them with a special star, and almost always include dealbreakers, so what’s the point? I’ve asked Match why they’d suggest these people whose profile include dealbreakers and the answer is pretty much that this category doesn’t care about your dealbreakers. So why highlight them to me? Smh. “Meet” feature will include profiles you’ve repeatedly passed on. The only profiles with detailed bios that seem like great ppl I have things in common with end up being inactive or staged - either shows them to be perpetually online but never check messages or look at other profiles who view them, or haven’t been online in over 30 days but the profile is still up. I’ve read news about Match doing this. They have no customer service phone number. Very expensive for what you get..PegaleiwayVersion: 23.08.00

Match has lost its valueHere’s what I found out as a guy. You want to pay just to message? Do this app. You want to get ghosted by females, message a tone with nice open ended questions, and even open your range to over 100 miles and still not get over 10 matches? Do this app. Want to look up how this app is losing value - then research “match no longer offers match guarantee.” Match is losing value due to their shady “pay to message” or “pay to see who liked you”. And once you do pay - you know what happens? You don’t get your money back and all those likes were just false because more than half of them will disappear. Your likes? Recycled. People view your profile (if lucky) of those you may have liked or have a open ended message - or match with(if you are even luckier) someone who will likely ghost you within 3 days or less. Oh I forgot to mention, half of the profiles are fake. Don’t believe me? You ever notice how a lot of photos can be blurred or out of position (cropped poorly) and no more than 2 photos. Yeah - match has lost its value and at this point men are given the run around. Don’t put your money in this. I can tell you - you will get more matches on tinder, bumble, even “ok Cupid”. And most of those are free messaging. Your welcome..Honest1NiVersion: 21.07.00

Scam/money grabYou have to pay to actually match. I paid for a week just to try it out and found that the people who liked me were the first ones I saw in my “discover” and once my subscription had run out, I never saw another person who had liked me and there is no way to see them unless I pay again. I had also bought some super likes to match with my highlights but once I no longer had the paid subscription, I was unable to use the super likes on my highlights. They do not want you to actually match with people unless you are paying. Women beware, men are also allowed to send an initial message to let you know they are interested (which is fine) but then they can continue to message again and again and again until you are forced to block them. Match used to be awesome. You were prompted to answer a bunch of questions about yourself and your ideal date and then would get 7 matches based on the compatibility of your questionnaire. If those weren't of interest, you could search singles in your area based on your dating criteria. Now it’s just a joke. I’m deleting my profile and the app immediately. I was so hopeful because I used match 11 years ago and met my son’s dad on it but it’s definitely not what it used to be..Asheahan12Version: 24.01.00

Encourages Shallowness, HorribleHistorically Match was a great platform. Unfortunately Match has adopted the same shallow approach that other dating sites use, the horrible “Swipe Left or Right” concept. Frankly it encourages shallow behavior by enticing users to swipe left (No) or right (yes). There is no in between. For example, what if someone is new to the site and has not had time to go into detail on their profile, there is no option to come back to them later. By the way, profiles with very few details are often fake and I personally don’t want to risk it. It would be nice to earmark certain profiles to visit later. The old Match. com allowed this but now you must swipe right or left to wven see the next profile. This is just plane sad. No telling how many possible relationships are being missed because of this terrible user interface. Come on Match! Your app from just five years ago was infinely better than this garbage! You should be encouraging people to dig deeper into each profile, not making it easier for people to swipe them away forever! Shame on you! Leave the swiping nonsense to Bumble and Plenty if Fish. Go back to the days when your site fealt like a premium experience and not just another run of the mill cheap dating site!.TECHGuyInFLAVersion: 22.01.00

Not worth itI am sick of wasting my time on free sites like Bumble and Tinder so I thought I could give match a try and hopefully find love. Well that’s not the case. Match assumes everyone who is on there is out to find love, but majority of the men that I see on match, I see on Tinder and 9/10 times they are just looking for a hookup. I’ve used Bumble plus before and the nice thing is they have an advanced filter option that allows you to filter what you are looking for and how it matches up with what the other person is looking for. Example you can put a filter on people who strictly have looking for a relationship and wants kids and you will only match with people that have those two filters. I wish match had that. Also I think it’s stupid that you cannot filter through premium and free members. Most of them are using it for free and there’s honestly no point of swiping through because majority cannot even message or send anything in return. I am fairly young and pretty attractive, as I’ve been told, but finding love on match is impossible. I thought paying an extra $40 was worth it, but so disappointed. This is seriously like tinder, but the only difference is you get charged $40 each month for it. I have already canceled and do not plan on returning..OhheysaramaeVersion: 20.19.00

Not getting any better…This is my second review on match. I’m sad to say that nothing is gotten any better, in fact it’s just gotten worse. Originally I was disappointed that I had spent so much time building a profile on the site and actually purchasing the premium membership to find little to no matches at all. But add insult to injury after I posted my previous review, now I can’t even utilize any of the premium services that I had originally purchased… The most basic of which being the ability to send messages. Now that I finally do have a couple of matches, when I go to send messages to them, they simply don’t send. And because Match does not have a live customer service pool that you can reach out to, there’s no one to address the problem. It’s just one thing after another with this app. If you think about it, it makes more sense, the business model is only sustainable if people don’t match up. That way they keep you paying, and they keep you on the site, and they keep you as a customer! This whole app is just a gigantic rip off, quite frankly I think all these dating apps are probably just a giant rip off. Whatever happened to meeting someone in the supermarket for chrissake!.GoldenBear427Version: 22.04.00

What a waste of moneyI was suspicious of Match when they offered these three types of memberships with the bronze membership offering basically nothing. So I got a bronze membership thinking that I would at least be able to message some people, WRONG!!! found out that you can’t even view or message people without an upgrade???What a joke, what did I just burn $20 for? to look at profiles only, not able to send a message or view a response?? What a F! scam! Never again, I’ll be deleting my profile once my $20 is gone. Pretty much worthless for what they offer. Want to add to my review because apparently you can only send one review, another scam artist tactic. I’ll just label this review as SAD! Match has definitely gone downhill as I have been a member a few times and actually met my wife years ago on Match. It was an actual legit app back then. Sadly, that is not the case anymore. I have also over the past few years met some really great folks but again it seems like this time around Match is just a joke. It’s just a money wallet grabber because this low level membership gives you absolutely nothing and I mean NOTHING!

Will not let users delete their profilesI am very disappointed that, unlike most other apps (e.g. Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid), Match does not allow you to delete your profile. You can cancel your subscription, or make your profile invisible, but you cannot delete it. This means that, (a) they’re keeping your data forever, and (b) they are creating incentives for you to return to the app. Dating apps make money by keeping people on the apps as long as possible - in this case, by luring people back to the app, because if you find love through their platform and delete your account, that’s the point where they stop profiting from you. Although the practice of not allowing users to delete their profile is not illegal as far as I can tell, it is essentially kidnapping of your data and your online identity. Even the much more casual apps like Tinder do not do what Match does. This hijacking mentality of Match disgusts me. UPDATE: Bumping from 1 to 3 stars as after contacting customer service, someone was able to delete my profile by hand. However, the process is still manual and in my case took approximately a week. It would be nice if this could be automated and users given the ability to do so themselves..Who would choose this nicknameVersion: 20.10.00

No starsThis is my first review ever, I feel so strongly about this. Paid for a 6 month membership. Was on match for about 5 days before I got locked out of my account. I emailed support services like it directed me to and got a automated reply that it’ll take 24-48 hours. After 48 hours I still couldn’t log in or even have a return e-mail. I called them back to have them initiate my request and tell me it will be 24-48 hours and given a case number and to expect and email. After 36 hours I call back, and give an other frivolous case number and transferred to someone who can help me. What I was transferred to was an empty line with no one on the other end where I was talking into a void asking if anyone was there. I hung up to call back and was told the wait was too long and I should call back the next day. I called back the next day, now longer than the second 48 hr period and was told it’ll take 24-48 hours, informed the customer service person it’s already been twice that long. They gave me a case number and told me to call back later as they must almost be done trying to fix it. I called back later to have them give me a case number and transfer, I told them this leads to no end as I already have 4 different case numbers and still haven’t received and email from any of them. The customer service woman said she could take my number down to have them call me, got no return phone call. Still no email. It’s been over a week and have been locked out of my account longer then I was even able to use it. This site and company is a joke, don’t waste your money. Luckily in that time I was able to find one of my matches in on free site and we have been communicating there now. Don’t waste your time and money with this trash..Lee-Lo24Version: 20.20.00

GarbageI got really excited when I saw that there was a dealbreaker option for some of the criteria. It states that match will never try to connect you with someone who meets your dealbreaker criteria. However just like all of these other dating apps. It’s a lie.I have about 50 examples of this. I wish I could post the screenshots without violating anyone else’s privacy. Not only do they want you to pay to see the one or two people that may have swiped on you (that you won’t even like) but they won’t allow you to respond if someone sent you a message in the free feature. That tells me that this application wants nothing to do with matching people together, but instead exploiting people for money for services that don’t properly work in the first place. Why should I pay you extra for services and features that clearly aren’t working properly on the free version? There are plenty of people on here who don’t require a dating coach like Mac, because they’re not serial killers. Why don’t you try putting up some more honest reviews about how poor the service is so that people don’t waste of time downloading this to their devices? Thank you. For your attention. A very dissatisfied user. Ernest S..Black dynamite fistVersion: 22.15.01

Complete scam for menThis is third go around with Match. I’m male and a Full paid member. I have a job, height and weight proportional. Match is a complete waste of time and money for men. A third of the women profile are just fake or bots. They all have one photo, their height, from a different state. They want you to email them money. Then another third have accounts but can’t see likes or messages, so it’s impossible to match with them. Why would Match allow profiles that no one can answer to appear to be real? Then I’m guessing there are real women on Match but the entitlement, the demands, they set standards that they don’t meet. Best of all is the basic lack of manners. I have had 5 conversations (out of hundreds of likes sent, maybe 20 received, maybe 5 were real). In every conversation they just stopped communicating in the middle of the chat. Ghost. I have not even met someone for coffee. I think Match pays women to make fake accounts. And the few women that are actually on, just all want the tall good looking guy with money. And they will ghost you as soon as someone they think is better messages. Perfect combination of capitalistic greed and the chaos of social interaction. Save your money men, THEY ARE ALL FAKE..Granem67Version: 25.13.02

Not worth the timeThe app doesn’t remember your preferences. I basically see the same people everyday. I also get messages from an age group that I did not specify. For example, my range is 35-39 male, I get messages from 44 and above. For guys, I see a variety that I have “matched” but when I look at the age, I also don’t fall in that gap. It is like they are hoping you’ll make exceptions? A lot of profiles are seem very similar, unless everyone wants to take a balloon ride and go on a safari....Choco_robbaVersion: 19.12.00

Scam alert - Misleading!Free communication? Nope. You can message for free but it’s over $130 Canadian if you want to read one you have received. Not worth it at all and encourage anyone not to fall for it.Yukoner2Version: 21.06.00

Why do you need someone’s phone number?You took email, why can’t you verify the account using a persons email? Also why did you take all details of a person including name, email, address, location, dating preferences, photo etc. before asking for phone number? Sounds very fishy and I doubt if you have the customers interest at heart. If you didn’t have anything to hide, you’d request phone number right at the stage of providing email. That way those who don’t want their phone numbers added won’t waste their time putting in all their details. People, stop using this app, it’s just a matter of time before they are hacked and all your details become public..AwuleyVersion: 20.21.00

Worst app out thereMatch is by far the worst dating app out there that I have tried. Most men on there are desperate, rude or haven’t signed up to see your messages. They charge for more access that yields no real results. I’m two months into a 3 month sub option and can’t even delete my account. Don’t use this app. It is a total waste of money and time..We ewus sVersion: 20.12.00

Don’t waste your moneyThis app is a total sham. I’ve messaged about 250 women and only received two replies. I am handsome and successful and can’t get anybody to reply to me, which tells me they’re all fake profiles. In the weeks I’ve been on it with a paid subscription I’ve only received three likes . Total waste of money. stay clear of this app..NWJBVersion: 22.08.00

A scam without apologyThis “App”: is about as close as you can get to a scam. It’s all,sizzle… no steak! With nearly constant “exciting new features” and promotions it doesn’t deliver and in my view is shamefully dishonest. You will be offered great discounts and promotions before you sign up but you will need to pay full price for any upgrades or additional services. Don’t waste your money unless you have lots of money and low expectations!.YltimouymuVersion: 25.04.01

What a scamPaid for a subscription and then they asked to verify my phone number. I gave them my phone number and I never received the code to verify my account! I emailed customer service numerous times and they told me they escalated the issue and still no response. Just a money grab, no refund, no subscription, so I am out 100$ for nothing! Thanks Match!.DJJ679Version: 23.11.00

Meh…So you sign up, it gives you a free option, but then it won’t let you see any messages or likes until you pay for a subscription, which is kind of pricy in my opinion. What’s the point of having a free option if all you can do is look at people’s pictures? I get that making people pay for it weeds out the people who aren’t taking things seriously but then why not just come out and say it when you first sign up? I deleted my account and the app….Rock*FotoOpzVersion: 23.08.00

ReviewTerrible app especially for men. The response rate on average for online dating for men is 64% fit women it’s 4%. That’s brutal. It’s up to a company like Match to address that . There was a time Match advertised women don’t pay for the app. Not only is that sexist, but looking at the data it’s the men who should be offered it for free. I was told by Match I’d get my subscription free if I didn’t find a match within 6 months. Not only do I want my money for that, I’d like my money back for the entire time I’ve spent on this merry go round..Jiminy cticketVersion: 23.06.00

Why?Shouldn’t have to pay to see who liked you and viewed your profile I could do that on Facebook for free this is a waste of time and money.Well ash school cut isVersion: 25.04.00

SoftwareThe software sucks. Both the web site and the app for the phone. No dedicated in box,, the back buttons don’t work, there are profiles of people on match that are totally within my search criteria and they never show up. I sometimes get an email from match with a profile of someone in my home town that never shows up when I do a search. It’s really pathetic software (I was a software developer for 35 years). It’s like you have not invested in your software at all..Sled-HeadVersion: 25.04.00

A Waste of MoneyReported a recurring error of Match's Meet feature. After 15 days and two follow-up emails, still no response. Expect zero tech support and a horrible experience. App still not working. No reply to refund requests. Their dating expert, Jay Shetty, is also a serious waste of time. Match is a data company. They're not interested in helping people find a match. They want users to keep clicking and stay frustrated. They also share your data with Facebook. They are literally stealing people's money..Rsb44Version: 25.01.01

SCAM STAY AWAYIt the worst dating app ever. You will receive likes and messages as long as you didn’t pay yet. And you can’t see who liked you or read the messages. The app says you have to pay to see and read. Then you pay to find nothing and no more likes or messages. On the other hand most of the profiles seems fake the photos looks like models rather than real people in there 40s. You keep sending likes and messages but no response because simply they are using you to trick those who you messaged to pay to be able to read your messages. So basically you send time and money to help them get more money. If they were genuine about helping you find a match why don’t they show you profiles of people with active subscriptions who would able to see you like and interact with you messages. In a month of subscription I paid around 100 $ canandian and received only one like. Which isn’t possible. Man even frankenstein can get more likes in a real dating app..Rafix RafixVersion: 25.01.00

Sooo MANY Vicious Women Here Who Oppress MalesMatch promotes micro-aggression and all-out victimization of heterosexual men by women on their app. I’ve been on several dates with feminists posing as women from this app, and they’ve all stolen money from me while making false accusations against me. Customer service is a joke and not helpful to the cries of oppressed hetero men being bullied by the skirts. Shame on you!.Anderson MaddowVersion: 23.01.00

Takes advantage of peopleI have been off and on this app for a few years. Without any success. But when my account is deactivated, I get emails daily saying I have winks and likes. So I resubscribed, only toout that all these matches live in other countries. And match doesn't seem to care, they got my money. No customer service support at all. Very shady.Useless app123Version: 22.08.00

ShadyThis is a view from a male profile. You can browse profiles and sometimes send messages which is good. However, when you match or receive a message, it wont even let you see the picture of the person without paying. Only a desperate man would give $50 for a “blind” match that can even be a fake profile or scam. This reminds me finance brokers that will get their money regardless, so don’t care much about user results. Also, it is a hassle to delete the account once created..Mv_white__Version: 22.07.00

Total jokeIf you’re a nice guy and you’re honest and caring, don’t waste your time or your money here. Many women can’t tell the difference between genuine people and hideous circus freaks. You will be left second guessing yourself and bitterly disappointed! Have some self respect and avoid this! Also, if you’re lucky enough to get a like and you message the match, don’t expect a response either because they just simply want to ignore you or because they can’t read the message because they didn’t pay. They need to set it so we only get matches with those who actually pay. Just to be fair the other apps are a joke too..Yamahavstar1980Version: 22.06.00
