Fun while it lasted. Well it was fun while it lasted but it looks like tinder is finally pay to win now. Started out small with taking away the amount of likes you had every 12 hours. Than they took away the super like feature, unless you pay for it, and then they started to shadow banned accounts that were not signed up for tinder gold. For the last few months the work around to all this was to make a new account every couple of weeks. New accounts get shown as normal but then after 2-3 weeks you were shadow banned. No big deal just delete your account and make a new one but it looks like the money hungry leeches at tinder caught on. You can’t delete your account anymore and instead of being shown for 2-3 weeks you are now only shown for 24 hours. You are still able to swipe on people however it doesn’t matter. No matter if you swipe right or left on someone you will still be shown their account each time you log back on. I came across the same accounts 9 times in a row. You now have unlimited likes but again this is worthless as your likes don’t mean anything because the people you like won’t see it. I really liked tinder. Was my go to dating app and I had nothing but positives to say about it for the past few years. But now I guess it is officially dead unless your fork over some cash.

Banned for no reason. Update: I’m afraid I also have been banned for no reason. I used to read these reviews and roll my eyes like people can’t be banned for no reason — must have done something. Nope. I’ve been permanently banned for absolutely nothing. I’m never even remotely mean or inappropriate. It must be an automated system when someone claims anything. Which is not a business I want to support. Maybe an ex saw me or something. After 6 years and many subscriptions, tinder has lost me permanently. Sad to say but it’s ironically not my choice ———————— Used to be decent. Now they’re giving out free passport apparently? But you can’t control if you swipe on people genuinely local, or those using passport “pretending” to be local actually 8k miles away. So now, 19/20 swipes are from random profiles around the world. Different languages, countries, with high language barrier and zero intention to come to your area. It has completely ruined the entire experience and made it impossible to use tinder for what it was created to do — get to know people around you to find a partner / friends. Not make virtual pen pals who are messing around. Add in the horrific allegations about their CEO, their horrible customer service, and pathetic squeeze for money, this is how a five star app became useless, nearly overnight.

Welp. They now limited poly couples from having a joint profile, which is pointless because now we’re just going to have more people we end up accidentally matching with that turn out to be someone in a poly relationship. It makes more sense to give people in poly/open/enm relationships *their own category* so that people who are looking for that type of relationship or interaction can find each other, but not ending up in the same pool with people who are interested in monogamy. Tinder is the biggest dating app thus it has the most amount of users, so that’s both good and bad. More people you don’t find remotely attractive to swipe through, and constantly being reminded you have 99+ likes or whatever, but ultimately you’re more likely to find at least a few people to choose from to talk to. A lot of creeps and people that are just looking for hookups, or people that don’t bother to even read your bio and just swipe based on photos, which is annoying but expected on any dating app. But there’s also more of a chance of finding someone compatible. Just make sure you don’t accidentally meet your soulmate and blow it on the first date.

Shady practices and easily exploited moderation. My complaints with tinder primarily fall into two categories: auto-moderation and the gender ratio. Moderation is automated, with profiles being banned automatically after receiving *any* three reports, regardless of their validity or content. This is a common way to cut costs that is known to be easily exploitable by users. Men and women maliciously false report each other for rejection or not replying fast enough, leading to automated bans that cannot be contested. You can find videos of so-called “pickup artists” getting women banned after exchanging phone numbers so there will be less competition for her attention. I personally was banned after not replying to women for two weeks; several of them falsely reported me out of revenge and tinder support refuses to review the situation. Tinder’s male-to-female ratio is notoriously poor, in some regions being as bad as 9-to-1 according to one study. This leads to unhappiness for everyone, as women are spammed and men are ignored. To give the impression of there being more women, tinder ignores your search preferences and shows you women far outside of your age and geographic ranges. I do not want to date 18 year olds, they cannot hold a conversation. If you want to see women no less than X years old, you must set your minimum age to X+3 in my experience. This is clearly not a bug.

Tinder is a scam. I wish I’d have read the other reviews before paying for the “Gold” package. I recently went through a break up and considering I’m not from the place I am now living I thought I’d jump on Tinder and meet some people. I literally was only trying to meet people for friendship. Things are going okay, I’ve met a couple cool people, shared some music, seems all good, open the app up about 4-5 days later: YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN BANNED. For absolutely no reason at all. I read every single word it the terms of agreement and the guidelines, I did not violate a single one. I was never disrespectful to anyone, if someone never responded to my “hello” or stopped responding when we were messaging back and forth I wouldn’t send another message, I wasn’t even on the app to find hook ups in the first place. Tinder is operating outside the lines of good business practice. You can’t contact them in any meaningful way whatsoever, they have no appeal process, nothing. Tinder is a sham. Apple should be ashamed of themselves for even allowing them in the App Store. I have now read through hundreds of reviews, Reddit and Quora posts and posts elsewhere explains this exact same situation. Tinder is banning paying customers for no reason, with no explanation and keeping their money. They are taking advantage of people simply looking to meet other people. Tinder is trash.

Fantastic app but.... Some bugs need improvement. Sometimes I open the app with a message from more than one person so I'll click on one conversation and the app switches the photos of the two people I received messages from. Next I was checking out someones profile when I swipe surge started. I was thinking about swiping right for this person but the swipe surge seems to have removed their profile and I never got to give them the swipe right. As someone who has just moved to a new area and is trying to meet people, this is extremely disappointing to see a glitch like that happen. A new issue that I’ve encountered frequently recently. I’ll receive a message from a match and can only access the conversation through the notification that pops up when I don’t have tinder open. If I open tinder from the home screen icon, it looks like the match is gone. But when I open from the notification that’s still in my phone’s system, I can still send and receive messages from that match. It’s starting to make me wonder how many matches I’ve actually lost and how many were just lost to a glitch in the system. Please fix this.

Highly toxic and depressing. Wow Tinder has gotten to low as to pay for 5 star reviews. I’m seeing fake reviews with 5 stars saying “good”. So glad I stopped using this retched app. Needs to be banned from the apple store. Too many people using this out of boredom and too many douche bags. Please don’t waste your time on this app. No one uses this seriously. It’s just a matching game for most. Also, if you’re a person of color especially a black person just know it takes just a few swipes from someone racist for you to be lowered in your desirability meaning. If you live in an area where people are swiping left for your skin color your profile is less likely to show up for someone on the same level of attractiveness as you. This isn’t just tinder but all dating apps across the board. I’m an above average attractive black woman and in person I have no problem attracting guys pre covid but on here I rarely get any guys I would ever find attractive. Their algorithm controls who you get to see and how attractive you are, theirs so many things wrong with that system and I’m honestly disgusted by all these dating apps. They don’t care if you find love they just care about keeping you on as long as possible. Oh and the CEO once bragged that they had an above average desirability according to their algorithms. Everyone should do research on how dating algorithms work, stop wasting your money.

Terrible App. To start things off Tinder is filled with bots, every second match I get in tinder is some “girl” trying to give you a massage and send you to a website. They don’t do any background checks on the people who join to make sure they are human. Secondly they spam it with advertisements and every 7th person you swipe on is an ad. Thirdly the amount of times it tells you, “you need to upgrade to get women to match with you” is incredibly annoying. Fourth, if you swipe right on everyone on the app Tinder actually throttles how many people you can match with. The first day I ran a test and swiped on every girl, I managed to go through about 40 women before it said I’m out of swipes. Next day I do it and get about 20. Now when I load the app I swipe on about 4 women before I have to upgrade my account because Ive ran out of swipes. It’s very unfair and flawed. Lastly they have these stupid “swipe surges” and other random events that “guarantee you’ll match with someone.” Ive gone to about 4 of these events (and by go I mean had the app open) and haven’t matched with anyone, and yes I know it’s all about appearances, and I wouldn’t say I’m ugly nor attractive but still. This app is a huge scam, waste of time, try something like Bumble or Facebook Dating. 1000% better than this trash app.

Money fishing app.. I used tinder a few years ago, it was a lot different. I was getting likes on my profile every day, at least one, I paid for the gold once for a month and I eventually found a girl that I dated for the last 3 years. We split up and I chose to download tinder again assuming that I would have the same experience. This is not the case, now there’s 4 different memberships to choose from, you have to pay for everything. I started out for the first 2 months not paying a penny, I would get 3-4 likes on my profile a week at least. As soon as I paid for the gold membership for the last month, I have yet to receive a SINGLE like on my profile but I am getting tons more push notifications to buy or pay for boosts or super likes. Not to mention only about 1/6 people that do like my profile don’t send me a message at all, leading me to believe those are the fake profiles that tinder makes to keep people hooked on buying and paying for extra stuff. I’m not an ugly guy either, I know I’m not that boring to talk to either as I don’t ask dead end questions or talk about myself almost at all unless asked. I do not recommend to use this app unless you are casually swiping and don’t mind being bombarded with ads to pay for things.

They Can Shut You Down With No Explanation. Within 48 hrs of having downloaded the app (most of that time I was traveling so I wasn’t even very active) they put my account under review and asked for some verification photos which I provided. Then I waited a couple days to let things get sorted out before writing the customer service people, I received a response saying that they were escalating the issue for further review, ok no problem do your thing, then I received a follow up email saying my account was all good and I should be able to log in. But then when I went to open the app it said I had been banned. This is insane because I’m a super nice respectfully person, only had pleasant and positive interactions with the few people I was chatting with, never said anything that could be deemed offensive or violate their community guidelines or terms of service at all, all of the photos of me were fairly recent… I was shocked. After reaching out again they refused to offer any explanation and said the results were final and permanent. I feel like I was treated very unfairly, and should have at least been given a reason for what was the issue other than “we take our terms and conditions and/or community guidelines very seriously.” Of course, and so would I. Im just highly disappointed and feel betrayed by this app. Out of all the ratchet stuff going on constantly, I get banned and I was nothing other than kind and respectful to everyone I chatted with.

men: just say no. not even once.. I know it’s tempting and you want to use tinder, but wait a minute man it’s not worth it. Even for pretty attractive guys, it will extremely difficult to find matches and it will destroy your self esteem. Tinder algorithms make this problem even worse. Even if you think you don’t care, you’ll end up feeling terrible about yourself even if you’re a good guy. Academic research on the apps show that top ~20% most attractive guys get almost all of the like and matches, like the vast vast majority, and that women users rank ~80% of men as below average. So essentially if you are 80th percentile or above, top 20+% of all men your age in attractiveness, hot and built, you will do okay. For the other 80% of us average and above average guys, just don’t join, don’t let it ruin your self esteem, don’t be a simp. and that’s assuming you don’t get scammed. Lots and lots of women on these apps pretending they want to date or meet up with you and then they convince you to send them “half the money for the hotel” over Venmo or “Uber money to come over” or whatever and then they block you and you never hear from them again. Come on guys, don’t be simps. Don’t send women money, ESPECIALLY if you’ve never met her in person. If she wants money and you haven’t met her in person yet, it a scam always always always. Maybe a real person, doesn’t matter, still a scam

Completely fraudulent. I’m far from the only person who experienced this, but in case someone who doesn’t know and is thinking of getting this app is reading this: Tinder and pretty much all dating apps are scams to get you to shell out money to them and keep shelling out money to them. They prey on loneliness. Maybe once they worked, but not anymore. You sign up with a basic account, no money, and you see you’re getting likes. Then you pay for a membership and the likes disappear. And no matter how much you swipe, super like, or boost, they don’t come back. It took me too long to realize that Tinder’s hope is that you’ll pay them more money after paying for a subscription. And they’ll do anything, including lie about their predatory business practices, in order to bleed you dry. Especially if you’re a guy, you have next to no chance of finding love on this app. Stay away from Tinder, Hinge, and any other dating apps run by the “Match Group.” They’re not really dating apps anymore. They’re money farms that use people’s - especially men’s - loneliness to make money. I can’t think of anything more despicable and demoralizing. Save yourself the money and the heartache. Do not, under any circumstances, download a dating app. But if you must download a dating app, download a different one than this.

Banned by bots. Do not get Tinder. I had the app for a long time when it came out, never had an issue. I recently got the app and decided let’s go premium. Two days later I was shadow banned and then emailed saying “my bad, you are visible”. Because of this I downloaded Hinge. On Tinder I have only matched with bots that want Snapchats so they can try to sell their content, one in every 10 being a real person. Then all of a sudden I log in one day to see that I was Banned. I reached out to the company via email only to get the answer that they have no information on why I was banned and are unable to look into it. A week later I was banned for the reason that Match owns Tinder and Hinge along with other apps. Hinge told me that Tinder would be able to provide me with information on why I was banned, when I reached out to them again I was replied with this. “Unfortunately even with no proof that you have violated the terms and policies we have in place, we cannot undo the process we have taken. We have no way to appeal banned accounts. Based off of information we have on your account, it was reported multiple times by users who no longer use the app. Thanks.” So they basically confessed that I was banned by bots and have no way to look into it. Don’t get the app, at least Hinge has a nice customer service email.

I got banned for no reason. I don’t understand the terms and policy of this app what so ever. I was banned for no reason. All of my photos are appropriate and my bio did not have anything close to being worthy of being banned. It seems like tinder has a very flawed system in which it bans whoever it likes without giving any warning or notifications on why you were banned. This is an abuse of power right here from an app that has too much power. You can’t even appeal the reason why you were banned. It just doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve had my profile since 2015. I have deleted it every now and then to take a break from it. But redownloading it recently and have been using it for the past week, everything was fine. Until today, this afternoon I went onto the app to find out I was banned. If this is how Tinder works and does things, by asking for personal information, wanting a bio and having you do so much to make a profile, just seems like a huge breach of privacy and an abuse of power. I recommend anyone that wants to use this app, to not even download it. Because the amount of times I’ve seen my friends use this app, just to get banned for no reason, kind of blows my mind. Again, I highly suggest no one downloads this app at all.

Fix this please. I love the app. I really do. I used to be scared of people, too scared to even see food delivery drivers. I can't handle going to bars to meet people and I don't go out much. I used tinder to make friends and partners, and be able to meet them. I used the app for multiple years and even spent a lot of money on it. But the reason my rating is low is because the feeling i have right now. Recently, i'd been getting pop ups that made me redo the same test over and over to prove i'm human. And then when I went to get on today and respond to someone I was going to meet, it said I was banned. I get there are a lot of bot accounts and whatnot. But I've been loyally using tinder for years and wanted to keep doing so. There should be an appeal of some sort. Adapting a "you're banned no matter what" stance is unfair to your consumers. If it has happened to me, I can only imagine who else has dealt with. I, nor anyone else, went through the loops and holes to pay or get verified just to be banned out of nowhere. Imagine you actually get a strong connection with someone and are about to meet them. Then BAM, you're banned and will probably never speak to that person again. All the other features I love, and really hope Tinder fixes this issue so that I can have my account back.

why take requests if you don’t make appeals. After not using my account for a couple days I opened the app to check my messages, only to find out that my account had been banned. I read all the terms and guidelines to see what i could possible have violated, and came up with nothing. I submitted a request to appeal the ban, only to get an automated email saying that they aren’t taking appeals “at this time” and that my account was banned for breaking community guidelines (and didn’t even specify which I had violated). Has tinder ever taken appeals? Because from what I have read it appears not. Why even make it an option to submit a request if nothing will change? It seems like a massive waste of time on both ends. I am apparently not the only person that this has happened to either. Tinder needs to fix their customer service to accept appeals and to talk to a real person about issues with one’s account. The handling of the situation on Tinder’s part was terrible. I had a lot of fun using the app when I did go on it and am extremely frustrated that I was banned without any reason or warning. How is it even possible to violate community guidelines when you’re not actively using the app and don’t have a fallacious or promotional profile? In addition, I am still getting message notifications from the app, even though my account is banned and it signed me out. Absolutely mind-boggling to me.

FIX YOUR APP AND SITE. I normally love Tinder and with their newest updates they include the ability to share a lot more information about yourself than you could before (if you smoke, are 420 friendly, are in college, etc) and you can even specify what you are looking for as far as a long term, short term, or hookup which is immensely helpful. HOWEVER, all of these great features are COMPLETELY WORTHLESS when I am not matching with ANYONE and I can’t see the messages my matches are sending me. I must have swiped through 200+ with no matches AT ALL. NONE. That’s incredibly abnormal based on my use of Tinder up to this point. One match who I was really interested in and talked to for a day, I couldn’t see his messages at all when he was trying to contact me after our first initial chat. Luckily I was able to reconnect with him on Instagram after I realized I wasn’t seeing his messages. He then sent me a screenshot that showed all the messages he sent that I did not receive. I’m not sure if these issues apply exclusively to the app though because I tried on their site and had the same problems. And I must have messed with my settings and deleted and reinstalled the app on my phone 10 times, and still nothing worked. The match I reconnected with told me Tinder has also been buggy for him as well. FIX YOUR APP, TINDER.

Don’t waste your time or money!. So, I have had Tinder off and on for the past few years. But recently after deleting my account to start fresh and take a break. About 2 weeks ago I redownloaded the app to give it another shot. However, I was randomly banned without any explanation as to why. I believe I was banned because so many guys I had matched with made sexual advances towards me and I denied them. So they most likely reported my account. And although I have only been back on the app for 2 weeks, despite my profile saying I’m looking for a relationship so many guys asked for sexual favors or wanted to hookup. Making vulgar and crass remarks unprompted often right off the bat. Which I should not be reported for. Then I emailed tinder to request my account be unbanned and I was given some dry, robot response. With no consideration of what I had experienced using the app. So ladies be aware that this can happen to you too. Even if it is not at all your fault! It would be nice to know what terms and community guidelines I supposedly “violated”. Not to mention, I reported the sexual commentary I received constantly. There is a huge issue with men who are looking to cheat on their significant others on this app. I’m sure I am not alone in this. But how am I more at fault then people who are committing adultery? I not anyone else should not be punished for declining their advances and wanting to actually DATE someone we connect with! Crazy concept.

Banned for no reason. Oooo I’m livid I’ve used tinder forever. I deleted my old account for awhile as I had ended up in a relationship but after that not working out I reinstalled tinder and made myself a new account. I did not violate any terms. I didn’t even have a bio and just selfies as pictures, nor did I message any inappropriate things. Honestly I barely messaged anyone I just sent people my Snapchat so the reasoning behind the ban is what I’m confused about. Especially considering I’d had my new account open for like a month before it was banned and hadn’t changed anything on my profile, and also when I went to open the app and found out I was banned I hadn’t been on it in like a week. I was so mad considering once you’re banned that’s it. You cannot use tinder again unless you get a new phone number and Apple ID. I tried getting in contact with some type of support but couldn’t find much help. I emailed about an appeal for my ban but all I got back was a robotic email stating I was banned and can’t be unbanned but still have no reasoning. It’s really pathetic honestly. Then I come on here and realize a bunch of people are getting banned for no reason left and right. Y’all need to get it together and fix this. This is going to drop yalls ratings and user amount tremendously especially considering y’all are getting rid of users yourself by banning them.

BANNED FOR NO REASON. I've used the app almost since the app first was created, and it has led to some decent dates and friendships along the way. I truly enjoyed the app (not so much the "match- and-silence/ignore" trend, but that falls on the user, not the app). I've posted rather silly pictures of my self fully clothed. I've never harassed anyone or pursued anyone beyond a clear ignoring of a message or unmatch. Not was my profile spam or fake in any way. I was instructed by the generic automated email when I reached out and all I was told is that I "violated the user agreement or terms of use" or something along those lines. When I checked those terms, there was not one thing that could be remotely close to any term that I've broken that l've done in the years of using the app. And when I replied back with elaboration, there was, of course, no response. They also stopped allowing appeals, so now l'm unable to get back on the app. There are other apps, I know. But this just doesn't sit right with me - someone who uses the app onlv for it's intended purpose and is not life banned for the app for no apparent reason, given no explanation, and no opportunity to fix it. This app was in the end a waste of my time and money (oh yeah, I subscribed multiple times to their advanced features to see who swiped on me because why not?) Beware any newcomer to this app that this is a fairly common issue on getting banned for no reason! Enjoy it whilst you can...

Disappearing matches and app lies. Ive noticed that sometimes when i get a match the entire profile ive matched with just goes away out of nowhere. At first, i thought it was because they chose to unmatch since thats happened before but then a few days later they will reappear but the conversations ive had with them will be gone. I once got 7 matches in one day and had fairly good talks with all of them but then they all disappear. Then a few days later they're all back with no notifications or anything they're just back so now it looks like im ignoring them. The app also lies to you about how many people are in your area to keep you on longer because if it really helped people to delete the app and actually find someone they'd lose money. I know this because after swipping for a few minutes the app will tell me to increase my range because no one is left. But coincidentally all of my top 10 picks for weeks will all be within 10 miles of me. And when i increase my distance range there will still be people in my area even though the app just told me no one is left. Terrible app that lies to you to make money and buggy matches. If you end up actually having a good talk with someone just get their snap and delete this app

Shallow and Fruitless. Imagine a slot machine where you invest your time, money, and dignity only to receive fleeting moments of self-worth while gradually deteriorating your self-esteem until you’re hardly sure of your own value. This is Tinder. I have paid for Tinder platinum for 3 months now, I have spent countless hours swiping, editing and adjusting every small detail of my profile, used all the boosts and super likes and still have ultimately made little to zero progress in the dating realm. Now I know what you’re thinking, I must be doing something wrong, being creepy, boring, or not posting the right pictures or something but I try my best to avoid those specific issues as best as possible. I’ve had more success on hinge without even paying a dime for their service and yet here it feels like they are constantly demanding you for money just to be slightly prioritized for a very short period of time. Not to mention the sheer amount of bots, fake accounts, and people simply not using the app, or only using it to promote their brand is frustrating to say the least. I’m just not sure there’s much you can get from this app other than shallow physical encounters. There is not one other app that has caused me such mental anguish. I wish I could say anything different.

Banned for no reason. Like other reviewers, I was banned for no reason. Lately the app was glitchy for me. My profile disappeared from matches and then reappeared. It was odd. So, I had to delete and then redownload the app twice in the last day. Maybe that triggered the ban…? They never explain why & just send you their terms & community guidelines which I doubt they have read because I did nothing that violated it. There was nothing in my profile or correspondences that was against their terms. Everything I wrote was a G rating. I wonder if the men who send 🍆pics are still on there. I guess it’s time to find another route to meet people. Sad because I had some interesting matches which are now dead in their tracks. Incredibly disappointing since the ban seems so random and unwarranted. And, they prompted me to report a match which was ridiculous. The guy, who was visiting NYC from London, wrote that he met up with friends & visited some galleries. Nothing in our conversation was controversial. I know there are so many people on Tinder, but beware. They behave like a bouncer at a hot club & this could happen to you. Oh, and there’s no warning whatsoever. And in this climate with so many angry men, it’s just ridiculous that they don’t do any research into why people are reported. I get way more customer support from Poshmark if there’s a dispute.

Too many fakes, scammers, “catfish”. Nothing is done to ensure that the people on the site are actually genuinely looking for a match. Captchas aren’t installed, having a “verified” profile is optional, most members don’t fill anything in the bio because it’s not even required. Often you’ll see people that are thousands of miles away by mileage, or people that are nearby, but their “live in” city is thousands of miles away because they’re just visiting your area. Needs to be a setting to only show those people that are physically nearby and also live nearby, or where you can select it if you want to see visitors. There’s no way to tell political leanings unless they put certain tags in their profile or put it in their bio. There’s no way to know important things like if they have pets or drink/smoke unless they happened to answer those questions-they’re optional. There’s no way to make it so you only see people that don’t have pets or don’t smoke or restrict out certain tags a person might add as their interest, for example “Activist”. To be a better app, these things need the focus, not the cutesy “Vibes” questions that don’t have much meaning to whether they’re going to be a good partner or not. And having to “Boost” in order to be seen by people you like is lame - it ought to just automatically put them front and center for them and tell you if they rejected you or not. But anything for a buck, eh, Tinder?

Women/Fems get permanently banned :). I've been on this app off and on since 2018 and never had any problems, even impulsively paid for premium a few times. The other day I loaded up the app to answer a message and instead was met with a cute little message from Tinder saying I've been banned and can no longer use Tinder, ever! I was super confused because I know I hadn't done anything that would've caused me to get booted so dramatically. So I very nicely emailed customer support asking what I did wrong and if there's any way I could appeal. I waited patiently for a response, which ended up being an automated message just reiterating the fact that I had been banned from using Tinder. So turns out you cannot appeal, or even contact anyone after your banishment. After that I did some googling and seen that A LOT of confused women who've been banned from Tinder came together and found out that the answer to why they've all been banned is butthurt men! When they don't get their ideal response from women they falsely report their accounts in a fit of rage and Tinder immediately bans them! I also found out that the majority of my women/fem friends have also been banned in the past without reason. It's really funny to me because it looks like these straight men are about to get bit in their little quivering bums when this app becomes a meatfest and they've got no one else to swipe on. So good luck with keeping the business up Tinder! :)

One sided…. So obviously the app itself is fine. Easy to use. The one thing that bothers me is the “interests or passions”. They are all these left wing liberal passions but none for anyone else. For example: pro-choice, LGBTQ rights, feminism, vaccination stickers on profiles etc… so my question is where is the passion for pro-life? Or religion/God? The Bible? There are plenty of passions on the right that are just completely ignored. The more time I spend on this app the more I realize how it’s just another app from liberal California that’s “woke” I put that I am unvaccinated, pro-life, love Jesus and looking for that in a partner on my profile on day 1 and I got an email from Tinder saying “they don’t approve of hateful messages to other users and if I do it again I will be banned” but I hadn’t even sent a message yet?? I’ve seen profiles say hail Satan, F trump, F republicans, let’s riot and burn buildings down on first date, looking for 3 ways, if you’re not vaccinated go kill yourself etc… but none of these profiles get taken down. My message to other Jesus loving single people - either don’t download Tinder or just be straight up with your beliefs in your bio. Because 95 percent of tinder users have 0 values whatsoever and it’s a good way to weed them all out. Don’t change who you are or your beliefs for anyone. Don’t let pressure from media, social media, dating apps, friends make you give in to the evil.

Tinder Gold Is No Longer Worth Your Money. I used to unironically like Tinder, even at its base form I’ve gotten matches that ended up leading to great relationships. Unfortunately, as time has passed the company has made taken away features and slowly asked for more money to unlock them; specifically with super likes. I’ve travelled alot and used tinder gold each time I travelled to find friends in new countries. Having five super likes a day helped me stand out from the crowd and led to fairly consistent matches. Even on a base account having access to the occasional super like was a huge help. Nowadays on a base tinder account you don’t have any super likes which is genuinely a huge detriment, and on tinder gold you get five a week. A massive decrease of 35 a week to 5. But the price remained the same??? A super like was a fantastic way to differentiate yourself in an environment where first impressions are everything. And for some guys and gals who are great people but not super models it can help hedge your bets to match with people you have a genuine interest with. I think taking that tool to consistently show interest in people you genuinely like was a bad decision for the company. I use to be a fairly consistent subscriber for Tinder Gold and I used to speak highly of it too, but with these new changes I will never again give this company my money.

Tinder went downhill. I don’t normally leave reviews but it’s really surprising to me how downhill Tinder has gone. Idk if there are just too many users now and people get put way down in the deck unless they buy the overpriced platinum membership or what, but it’s a night and day difference. Anecdotally, I used to get a dozen or more likes a day and at least 3 matches, and if I boosted I would get several dozens of likes by the end of the 30 minutes. Now I’ll be lucky to get a LIKE, let alone a match. I very rarely get matched with someone I liked first, which is completely different than it was a couple years ago. Idk if it’s because I came back to the app after a few years of inactivity (I was in a relationship), and Tinder sank the rating of my profile so low that I never get surfaced to other people. I’m not going to spend upwards of 50 bucks a month or whatever it is on a platinum membership to get the same experience I did a year and a half ago. App ratings have sunken since, prices of memberships have increased, and it just seems like the app is starting to die and they’ll die by squeezing out as much money out of you as they can. Fwiw even after I got a gold membership and used a boost, I still log in every day and see no likes. So I don’t even think paying money is an option for you to get in Tinder’s good graces unless you get the platinum membership. Just not worth it. Anyway, Hinge seems like a better option.

Worst app, with the worst support team.. I have been a long time Tinder user. I am currently permanently banned from the service, and I am 100% unsure as to why. I was always polite to people on the service, and I never broke the community guidelines. I was always keeping my profile pictures updated as well as my bios. I even went as far as to verify myself for tender, 2x. I randomly sign in when I to find that I am banned. The worst part is the girl that I have been talking to for the last week now has no contact information or way to get a hold of me. On top of that I have now been robbed the $40 due to being a tender platinum member because that’s how you get matches on the app. It’s 100% paid to play on tinder, and anyone who tells you otherwise, is a liar. The most painful part about this, is I want to meet a girl abroad, and now I am completely cut out of that. Thanks to tinder for taking all my money for the last year and a half, and never finding me matches that will respond. Even when I’m paying for the App. Ps trying to appeal with support is pointless. They will take their time responding, and that’s if they respond at all. The first time I messaged, I had someone tell me that my account was banned. Didn’t give me a reason and then immediately close the case so I could no longer message them. Pay for this app at your own risk nine times out of 10, they aren't going to work for you, but in their own interest.

Oh boy. Just recently got out of a relationship and decided to dive back into the dating app world, and all I have to say is wow. Tinder has really slipped. What used to be a brilliantly simple and effective dating app has turned into a frustrating, convoluted, pay-walled mess. For Tinder to be even remotely useful, you have to pay for it. And once you do, you’re allowed features that are literally free on other apps. Wanna see who likes you? You’re going to have to pay more a month than you do on a Netflix subscription for that. Btw, Hinge does that for free. Wanna leave a comment on someone’s picture? Surely you can do that with the Gold membership, right? Nope. Gotta shell out even more money for ~platinum~. Guess who also does it for free? You got it. Hinge (and I think OKC too). And even after emptying your wallet on one of their higher subscription tiers, you still only get one boost a week, and you’re still hounded with pop ups every 10 minutes to try out their creepiest feature - the super like. All of this on top of the inherent dating app negatives (ghosting, catfishing, creeps, excessive filters, etc) and you’re in for a miserable ride. Save yourself the stress and money and try literally any app other than Tinder. Or just go to a bar. You’ll spend about the same amount of money but at the very least you’ll get a good buzz.

Trans Problem. I’m a 22 year old man and I used to enjoy using this app until they went woke. They have 3 options for what you want to find/interested in- Women, Men, and Everyone. I have it set to Man seeking Women and yet I still keep coming across “Women” who are actually men. They need to include a 4th option for Other. I do not consider men who want to be women, women. They are still men and should either be in the mens category or in Other. I don’t want to see or be liked by MEN taking pictures dressed at a woman or even worse a MAN taking pictures in a bikini when their junk is still attached and showing. It is definitely not suitable for minors to be seeing it and let’s all be honest, it’s mostly minors who use the app. Please fix this issue tinder or else you’ll see a huge decline of users on your platform who don’t believe in that woke garbage. If they are born a man they should either select man or other and shouldn’t be shown to those of us who are normal people(heterosexual). These people are mentally ill and groomers who need help and definitely don’t need to be targeting our youth anymore than they already are. And don’t dare take down this review just because it hurts someone’s feeling. It’s my 1st amendment right to say my opinion and if you don’t like it I’ll take you to court on infringing on my 1st amendment. I’ll be documenting and recording my review.

Scam to get money then Bann you. Do not get and definitely do not put money into tinder. Users are describing having issues the erase conversations for one person and the other still sees them there’s nothing but bots basically all the issues you can have in dating apps exist in tinder and they will never fix them. I was banned for unforeseen reasons and no given no means of correcting this issue and was even about to pay premium for this app before I got banned. Used to tinder for three years and I have no clue why my account was banned so I am probably going to do the same thing again somewhere else. You can’t make another profile because it all connects through Facebook. I now realize that I also had the bug where you don’t see your matches in your match list they keep disappearing and coming back. My conversations were also disappearing and coming back it would be days and weeks in between. I will never use dating apps again I’m just going to use Facebook dating if anything and that’s it this app has ruined all dating apps for me that’s how bad this app is. This app is trash. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Only giving it 2 stars because I met a nice friend.. I’ll keep it short and simple. Here you have an app that’s made to connect people and bring them together. In order for you to see who liked you, you need to pay. In order to get more attention via a boost, you need to pay. You want better “top picks”, you need to pay. If your like me, and already literally hated the idea of using dating apps, then don’t waste your time here unless you have money laying around that you don’t mind throwing at this app all the time. Not only Tinder, but most “dating” apps are just broken. I get the idea of bringing people together along with preferences to narrow it down, however Tinder and others try to fit all groups into one. What I mean by that is - this is a dating app right? Where you go to meet people to, ya know, date? I’d say these apps are broken down into three categories of use - relationships, hooking up, and validation. I’d say most people here are on for validation. They don’t want love, they want the love they get from 20 people swiping on them inflating their ego. The next small group is looking for just sex, and the next is actual dating. There really should be an app out there for people to sign up for just for all that attention people need and want. Dating apps? Ya ok, more like feed someone else’s already inflated ego app.

Getting banned for life with no detailed explanation or refund. Eventually you will get banned for life with the only explanation is that you violated their terms of service. No warning and no indication of what you supposedly did. If you are a paying Member, and you get banned they keep your money with no refund. With people easily offended, and the ease to report another Member on the app, just stating in your profile that you’re “super straight” will eventually trigger some people as offensive and will report you as offensive behavior and you will get banned for life. Of course you have to be a match to report someone, but people can match just for the purpose of reporting you because they are offended by information in your profile; political views, race, age, sexuality, and once matched, report you as offensive. Also they are shady on their Membership costs and overcharge more than what they quote. Before I became a paying Member, I would get pop ups of their Membership packages (months/cost). First time I bought a 6mo gold package and was charged a little more than the cost quoted in the pop up. Next Membership I upgraded to 6mo platinum and was charged over $160 (which was substantially more than the amount quoted in the pop up) and I was banned a week later.

Absolutely Terrible!!. Tinder has so many glitches it is not even funny. I had so many issues with the site. At some point in time, Tinder decided to just stop my account from working. I was texting a couple matches who verified all our messages disappeared and they weren’t receiving any of my messages. I tried messaging Tinder and no response. I decided to delete the old account and create a new account losing all my contacts from before. After creating a new account, someone flagged my new account, and got put on a hold for a bit with no reason why or anything. It apparently got squared away after a day again with no explanation. Now out of the blue, Tinder once again just banned me permanently for no reason while I was talking to a few people that could have been real connections! Now when I try to log on or create an account it says I am permanently banned! I am still trying to wrap my head around it, but I wouldn’t use Tinder ever again after this experience! The sad thing is that there were some really great connections I had made and was in the process and either meeting or about to text before all of this went down and no way now for me to connect with them! Terrible service who truly don’t care about connections! I will stick to Hinge!

Deserves shutting down, it’s a scam.. What can I say? What should I say? It doesn’t help you meet people or get you dates, but it does do what it was designed to do, make the creators/developers money. Limiting the number of swipes for one, designed to make money, pay for extra swaps you sad lonely peasant. See who likes you? Cough up the dough. 6 weeks so far, zero matches. I’ve swiped, and swiped, and swiped. Unfortunately, Tinder is not for dating, it’s for hookups, only the most attractive people get to use it for screwing. If you want a meaningful relationship, look elsewhere, otherwise you’re wasting your time. In fact, just find some courage and bravery, and the strength to face rejection in the real world, because you’re only going to meet real people and find a real relationship by going outside and meeting real people, not swiping on shallow and “pretty” people day in and day out on a cash grab app preying on the lonely or desperate. Do not, I repeat, do not get this app for a relationship. If you’re an 11/10, or even a 10/10, and feel like a casual hookup, by all means go for it, but don’t think your soulmate is on here, or that you’ll find “the one,” ‘cause that ain’t happening and it ain’t realistic. Please, go outside, go where people are. Roll the dice. Maybe someone you find attractive has a partner already. Maybe they don’t, that’s just a risk you have to take, and it’s already way way more effective than even 100 days on this app will ever be.

Please Help All Of Us !!!!! Banning everyone is not working. I love tinder I’ve used it on and off for years and never had a problem. One day one of my friends were banned we were both confused as they did nothing wrong and the next day I was banned as well doing nothing at all that would break rules and regulations of tinder. Even more confused we decided to see if others were getting banned for no reason I’m seeing so many complaints on social media from people getting banned for no reason. I have been trying to be patient and wait for news of y’all allowing and people to file some sort of annulment or complaint but have seen none. I’ve emailed you twice with nothing but a copy paste explanation saying I violated the terms of service and community guidelines. I’ve read over all of them several times and have not violated any. This is extremely frustrating and I’m starting to think I’m being hacked or the whole app is being unfair to users or people are being banned for petty reasons by others such as getting flagging for example not answering. innocent people are being banned. I want my account reactivated I’ve given you my time, my money, and my hope for something more using tinder and I’m extremely disappointed. Please help me.

Cooperate strikes again. I’ve seen the ratings go down for years, and here’s why: Tinder reasonably realized they made more money from people who bought tinder premium or gold in 2015. In the earlier days, tinder gold bought you the most basic upgrades, like unlimited swipes. Nothing special. Today however, they’ve gotten so greedy that they made two separate algorithms: if you’ve payed for tinder gold, you’re placed in an algorithm that will match you frequently with people who swiped right on your profile. If you didn’t pay, then you are enrolled in an algorithm that purposely avoids people who’ve swiped right on your profile. Furthermore, I’ve both the free version of tinder, and I’ve used tinder gold, and I’ve found that disgustingly, you find more minorities and people people with a larger body size tend to appear significantly more frequently on the free tinder algorithm. This overt prejudice blatantly contrasts with how accepting of diversity they seem on their advertisements. Don’t be fooled, Match Group clearly doesn’t care about you and your love life, rather on the size of of your pocket and the color/ shape you possess.

Notifications are belittling. Had a notification today that stated essentially “the only way to get out there in the dating world is to get back online - who would’ve known 😱” not only is it unprofessional to assume that I’m currently wanting to get on tinder to use for dating currently, but it’s also ridiculous to think that Tinder is the only way to meet a significant other. Not only the snarky and condescending wording by whoever decided to write this notification, but to not respect my boundaries of when I chose if I’d like to use tinder for my dating choices or not is crazy to me and others. If I don’t want to use Tinder for the meantime, I don’t need your team to try to convey a disrespectful message/notification to me. Sarcasm towards your clients is the absolute dumbest way to get them to use your app and spend money as well. Not only that, you want people to pay 24 dollars a month for a premium package for a site that has a history of hookups, not long term relationship success. You really try to screw your clients in more than one way. Deleting this app for good tonight, and if you have any respect for yourself, I suggest others do the same as well. Obviously this company cares more about how much money they can get out of you, not how meaningful the relationships and success rate of long term relationships that are built from them. If I could rate this company and app worse than a 1 star, I would.

Horrible support.. My account was hacked and the hacker must’ve edited my profile or I’m not sure what happened but when I tried to log back in it said my account was banned for violating community guidelines. So I emailed support, I explained the situation and even offered any proof I could gather to show I was not to blame. Instead of offering any help, or even looking into anything, I was sent back an email telling me there’s no point, and I’ll never be able to use tinder again using my Facebook or phone number (you can no longer sign up using just email). I can understand they are trying to keep their platform safe, but considering this could easily be proved if they just looked into the matter, but are in all honesty seemingly too lazy to do so. I was a premium member, it also doesn’t stop your membership. So despite my account being banned for an unknown amount of time, I have still been charged for the membership. They gave me no other notice that my account was banned or even under investigation other than when I tried to sign in again, so I have no way of knowing. When I brought that up to support they said it was my fault because “it’s stated on the bottom of the screen when you try to log back in” but again, I hadn’t tried signing in for a couple months, so with no other notice, I had no way of knowing I had to cancel the subscription. Overall this situation was ridiculous and unessicary.

My “Tinderella” Story. I downloaded Tinder because a few friends told me to. I was nervous because I figured it wasn’t something for me. I’ve always been the relationship type of person so I figured an app known for other things was definitely not where I’d find love. Unlike some of these bad reviews I didn’t buy Tinder gold or anything like that, I actually thought the regular app was quite fun. I honestly got addicted to it and would spend a lot of time swiping. I swiped right on this adorable, tall, guitar playing guy and we immediately matched (yay). He texted me first and we hit it off straight away. Turns out him and I went to the same college and everything. We had SOOO much in common. After getting my phone number and facetiming for a couple days, he picked me up and we went on our first date, which would be one of many many wonderful dates. Little did I know downloading Tinder would lead to meeting the love of my life. Just thought I should share my “Tinderella” story on here to let everybody know that while Tinder is super fun, it can also lead to something more than just somebody to text or talk to. :)

On the Decline - New Features Make it Buggy and Unuseable. UPDATE: App is completely useless and unusable now. Every time I send a message, it doesn't show up in the chat. Any time I type a message, the keyboard glitches and lags. App constantly crashes and freezes. Pictures and videos get removed for no reason, without any explanation why. Matches will randomly disappear and reappear again. This is with the most CURRENT and UP TO DATE version. Deleting this app now. Previous review: Tinder used to be a simple app - fast loading, easy to use, worth paying the cheap price for premium. It was perfect 5 years ago. Now the app has added so many over the top, ridiculous, useless features that everyone hates. Other users on the app immediately give you their phone number or social media handle right away because the app is so bad. Messages don't refresh unless you close and reopen the app several times, trying to type has significant lag and delay, the app randomly freezes and crashes constantly. If you listen to music while using it, it will cause your music to glitch too. My phone has been significantly slower since downloading the app, its like simulating what an iPhone virus would be like. Overall an irritating, buggy, glitchy, slow app that gets worse every update.

Why did I get banned?. Now typically I wouldn’t get upset over something so silly but the fact that I’ve never been banned from anything and that I actually didn’t do anything wrong really bothers me. I read through all your terms and conditions and thought maybe I made an honest mistake and somehow violated them but no. I did not violate your terms and conditions and I have no idea why you banned me. I’m gonna take it as a sign that I just shouldn’t be on Tinder but I mean still. Plus this app has no way to like fight the ban or even be reconsidered unless you are simply under review which is kinda dumb. I’m a real 21 yr old female, who is from American and currently lives in Italy for my job and I was literally on Tinder for a day but my phone service was not operating correctly so I tried deleting my account but it wouldn’t let me so I paused it. Then when my phone started to operate correctly again I tried to log back in to unpause my account and it said I was banned. None of my photos are copyright and there’s no way I could’ve gotten reported or anything when my phone was so messed up I couldn’t get any matches like it just kept putting the same people up over and over. Maybe you should ban the app instead of me. Whether it be my phone service or just your app bugging out, who knows but it definitely is not my fault.

Worst Dating App with no way to get unbanned. I had this app for over a few years. Then one day someone got my profile information and started uploading explicit pictures on my profile. Instead of emailing me, texting me, or trying to contact me about the situation they banned my account. I went to Tinders website to try and plead my case and repeal their decision. I could not find any such place on their website except a customer service email. I emailed them to try and and explain my situation, but was left with “at this time there is no repeal process put in place to allow someone the opportunity to be unbanned”. I don’t understand how in a world where people are constantly getting hacked that they have no plan or repeal process for situations like this. I tried making a new account with a new email and tried making new social media’s. Unfortunately they have linked my banned account to my phone and everything on my phone. It’s fine, I’ll spend my time, energy, and money on different apps like bumble and hinge. This inferior app has so many other problems with it, I’m sure I won’t miss it. Will never recommend this to anyone looking to use dating apps. I will always tell people from now on not to use this one because of the constant sexually charged males harassing women over this app.

Tinder Ban. I’ve been using tinder for years. I’ve never had any issues with it. Two days ago my account randomly disappeared from the app. My account disappeared and neither my Facebook (which was connected to it), phone number, or email were recognized by tinder. I contact costumer support and they give me a few options. That’s when I remember I’m also connected to the app through my laptop. I check and my account still exists. Somehow that brings back my account on the mobile app. Problem solved right? Last night I match with a person, reach out to them. They reply with a rude response so I report them and they’re unmatched. Today I go on to the app to discover I’ve somehow been banned. No reason given. The only connection I could think was the random glitch two days before or me reporting someone for rude behavior. Strangely enough my account still exists on my computer so I’m assuming this is another glitch. I have Tinder Platinum for another week so this makes the problem more annoying. Based on the recent reviews other people our getting banned. I hope this gets resolved or the app makes a statement. My advice if you’re planning on using Tinder avoid paying for a description on the chance you’re banned out of nowhere. At least until the app recognizes there are issues and attempts to fix them.

Not the same. Many are saying the same things no seriously the developers need to read the comments there are more negative ones then positive ones and it’s understandable like in the past u did not need to pay to swipe that raised my eyebrow , before u swipe endlessly as no lie ur suppose to other apps are smart by doing just that swiping doesn’t even mean one talks to them or talks back to them it’s just swiping. I agree on a business point it’s ok but apart from that it’s going downhill and they need to rethink things because I don’t think the greed is going to help and MANY others are saying it SIMPLY READ THE REVIEWS , it’s real. The personal vendetta they have with some is creepy to say the most they made the app and it’s honestly for hook ups, networking and simply screwing a good fwb for sure but yeah this app is not suppose to be personal to sort of care if a guy or girl is too hot is very very unprofessional and weird. Yeah though other apps are better I will be frank just isn’t the same anymore that’s what they get though u ban people for no reasons u have access to falsifying anything so people be careful as in they can make up everything they send u it may not be from a real user, a real user didn't report u they must monitor it and depends how they wake up etc and it’s sad guys other apps are better

Gone down hill. This app used to be great however now the premium prices have gone up but the app has gotten worse, I would get many matches on tinder of beautiful girls however there’s a catch a lot of these girls most likely just want promote their only fans, I’ve had many matches and 9/10 they are just girls looking to promote only fans in United States. I say that because I’ve actually chatted with one of the girls through her only fans to see where she was from. I told her that we matched on tinder and she admitted that she is only on tinder to promote her only fans she also told me she was actually from Whales even though it told me she was just 3 miles away, I know she probably had travel mode or something however this is actually happening more often just recently I matched another girl on tinder and you guessed it, some pretty girl wanting me to check out her only fans. I’m not the best looking dude in the world but in the past I’ve had greater luck, I went on many dates and even dated someone I met on tinder for a while and that was without paying, now I pay to use the premium features and only match girls who only want to promote their only fans. I don’t really want to rip on these girls even though they don’t have the intention of dating on here, however I do want to warn people that tinder is not what it used to be and expect match with people who don’t have the intention of dating.

Admitted to banning my by accident - now blocked forever. I’m like the thousands of others who left a one star review about being banned for no reason at all. My account was banned. I have the most vanilla account on the planet and was certain it was an error. Tinder responded and admitted it was their error and that my account was banned (forever) because it was accidentally flagged as a spam account. Then they proceed to tell me to sign up again, but that’s impossible because you have to use your phone number to sign up (you can’t use a burn number) and my phone number is forever banned. So thanks Tinder for having the worst algorithm on the planet that bans real accounts FOREVER with no way for those people to ever get back on the app. You have an obligation to have a more sensitive and compassionate process around this. You know many of the people on your app are already feeling rejected, lonely, and depressed, and you make it worse by banning them from a way to connect with others and accusing them of doing something they didn’t do. It’s so wrong on so many levels. I mean does anyone on your team actually read these reviews?! You would think you would change the process of banning accounts by now given the thousands of complaints that say they all experienced the exact same thing.

Banned for no reason/without explanation. I have noticed that tinder doesn’t reply to these. Many of my friend use this app and have noticed they will randomly get banned after paying, as it happened to me as well. I personally think they either need to set up a appeal process or renew everything on the app process. I know tinder isn’t about to even reply to this, but I just want it to be known that all of my friends are coming over to one Star this app until they set something up to make this process better for everyone. It is honestly ridiculous you can let people looking for thirds who play themselves as females to harass people about it or you get the people who will just report you for not replying why is that even an option on the reporting. Sometimes people can’t reply because the app is so freaking glitchy that messages sometimes don’t appear. Y’all advertise tinder as a great app but in reality if people are always complaining from what I’ve noticed about the glitching or having to get whole new numbers and phones to make a new account. It’s honestly sad seeing how bad this app can get like how do you not have a support line or even email that gives people an actual reasoning to why they were banned ect. Have fun hinge is way better y’all go there they are also cheaper

For adults or children?. I took a chance on this app to find a serious relationship. First, I hate that to see people who like you, you have to pay. I get it, they need to make their money somehow but $20 for one week! If I have to decide between putting gas in my car & "seeing who likes me" then that's pretty sad. 2nd, I personally had a few matches that I was talking to BUT I hated the flakiness and ghosting. It's ANNOYING & I was talking to men in their 30s!! I even had a date set and the guy ghosted the day before our date! Tinder needs to categorize their people better or have some sort of filter. Even though I clicked on "long term relationship", I was still receiving messages from guys who were anxious to tell me the size of their co..k. Tinder also needs to have a new to feature to limit GHOSTING! Before un matching, the person has to choose maybe 1 out of 3 preset options on why their un matching the person. This way the other person receives the preset message & at least had some closure. Tinder os originally known for hook ups, I get it. But more and more people are using it to find companionship as well. I was very salty when this one guy, who I was having lengthy, fun, flirty and even personal conversations with jut ghosted me out of nowhere. It's frustrating & even though Tinder can't "control" people, it needs to do something for those who want to use the app for serious dating.

Appalling customer service. First of all, I want to preface this review by stating that the app in and of itself, is rather user-friendly. It’s become a lot less buggy and a lot more stable, however that’s about where the accolades stop. My account has been banned for over a month now and I am still yet to be notified of the reason why, as I keep coming up short. I have had numerous “interactions” with Lauren and Jesse from Tinder, however I use the term interactions VERY loosely as the responses I get are simply just the standard, templated, and robotic responses. I have even tried to reach out to Tinder and Tinder AU on Instagram, but to no avail, in the hopes that an actual person would take a look into my account and see that there should not have been any just cause for banning my account. The app itself, great. The customer service experience, however - absolutely shocking and poor. Not to mention the fact that for the amount of time this app has been around, Tinder still does not offer an appeals process for banned accounts. So basically, “if you’re banned then too bad, bye”. Biggest joke.

Appalling customer support. I’ve used tinder for years. I deleted my old tinder account ages ago, but recently I decided to re-download tinder again and open a new account. For some unknown reason I got banned. I put in an appeal to support to find out why I got banned. I received a generic response that I had violated their terms of service or guidelines with NO explanation as to which one I supposedly violated. At first support tried to tell me I wasn’t banned, and gave me a list of things to check out in order to log back into my account, but none of them worked so I emailed support again asking them to investigate. They replied back saying yes I was banned. I asked for clarification regarding why and what violation I had committed but they refuse to answer and just ignore my messages ( and yes I was polite in my responses) Personally I believe they don’t even know why I’m banned and they have no interest in investigating my case and providing evidence. To me, that’s unprofessional and appalling behaviour that they don’t even have the decency to resolve issues. I’m not the only one either who’s experienced this. I have MULTIPLE friends and professional work colleagues who have also had this same issue and have been banned for no reason. One colleague simply upgraded her phone and then got banned. Tinder you can do better! Show some human decency and care about your customers. We are humans…..not dollar signs for your bank account.

Not good enough tinder not good enough. I’ve been an og tinder user since it’s conception in 2012 and all I can say is I’m disappointed, it’s over saturated by men who don’t know how to talk to women or all just want to “hit it and quit it” This makes it hard to have a decent conversation with someone let alone potentially make a connection and the possibility of a date. I mean yes men have their issues, but majority of the people on tinder seem to have commitment issues but isn’t it a dating app? Yes I’m thankful that tinder has upped their trans awareness/visibility with including more gender pronouns and marks for the LGBTQIA+ community however there seems to be one big flaw in their system. Yes I’ve matching with men but said men either unmatch me because of the fact that I’m a transwoman or they just don’t talk at all. I mean hey I have the same issues with bumble but least the competitor makes women make the first move and gives them pop up questions or prompts/new opening liners they can message to their match and potentially get the conversation flowing (take note tinder) lol Those fast chats? Or whatever they were called they came in and out real quick just like the last guy I was with… which is sad cause at least with those fast chats I get to have a conversation with someone prior to them judging for being trans then after matching they can either continue or match as they please. Anyway this is my 2 cents, hope y’all fix things Duces ✌🏾

What a safe, secure and confident dating app. I have been looking for a dating app for so very long. Tinder is considered safe and a platform where you can view other user decent photos before sending your first connection, then matched. It’s a great strategy and avoiding all unknown and unexpected messages everyday. I have made few good friends even hang out with. Well, a place to find yourself to be loved and I am sure not in my country. Somewhere in this world he will match my profile. Can’t wait to swipe to right to interesting people around the world. Thanks Tinder for such amazing App, compared to Grindr, heaps of troubleshoot and payment twice charged and my nice profiles blocked for no reason. Now and today. I am using Tinder Apps to welcome and meet people I am attracted to and travel together - I mean quality people who matched with quality chat. Tinder is the best and million of thanks. Edward

Needs a few changes. I honestly love this app. It’s very good. Quite sleek and easy to navigate I just have a couple of things that I believe will be useful: - Blocking function: It has occurred multiple times that profiles that are clearly spam or that I'm not interested in keep returning to my swipe stack even after reporting that Im not interested multiple times. So a blocking function would be useful to help make these profiles stop returning to the swipe stack, allowing new profiles to come through and create more opportunities for successful matches - Dark mode: I have Autism. Which involves sensory processing issues. Which means that too much sensory stimulation can send me into shock or make me not want to use anything that’s causing it. Bright lights can often do this and so I often dont like white backgrounds. I feel like im not the only Tinder user that struggles like this. And I feel that adding a Dark mode will make the app much more comfortable for users like myself.

Banned for No Reason. I have used this app on and off over the years and whilst it has never been the greatest, it seems to have a lot more people on it. Just recently I was banned for no reason though and after trying to contact Tinder, I got a generic response and that they couldn’t help me. I have done NOTHING wrong and I have NOT violated their user terms or anything like that, so I’m very confused why this happened. I’ve heard other people have had the same issue, so is this a common thing now, Tinder? Banning people for the fun of it? Surely you can give us a reason as to why you’ve done this to our account? You want people to like you and your app, yet when it comes to something like this you literally just kick us out with no explanation... pathetic.

My LIKES. Why ask me again if tinder already has this when use ask me to write a review after I give tinder a generous (1)star only so I can write another review…As is hear from years back⬇️ My likes that you aren’t allowing me to see unless I pay extra cash for me to👀see👀 them...Which doesn’t allow the Ladies that have liked MEee...to mayB...get to chat Or go out with me...Or create a FRIENDSHIP Being a single DaD...I can’t afford to take Ladies out on a date & pay all extra cash🤑 on Tinder...Thnx OTHER THAN THAT I LOVE TINDER & I DON’T USE ANY OTHER DATING SITES... cause think this is the best site... *When I tried to register with Facebook tinder said No...& said that I couldn’t as I had been RUDE to someone...I would like to see that message...as I haVn’t even been rude & RESPECT ALL... I can only register through phone number? *I have written an Email about this Facebook registration & haVn’t received a reply??? Cheers👍

So many glitches & no option to send photos. They seem to always be exterminating “pesky bugs” but the never seem to exterminate those “pesky bugs”. Also there is so many glitches that I don’t actually believe they do anything to the app to improve it or fix it in their updates. App freezes or lags constantly. It kicks me out and one minute I have 400 likes and the next only 23. Also there is no option to send photos. I mean that would be helpful so I don’t have to keep adding people to snapchat and then deleting them when convo does off. Maybe consider it and also consider a feedback option so the people could tell you what they want to make a better experience for them on the app. Also don’t bother asking their IT for help. They just copy and paste already written messages. Monkeys could do a better job just saying

A feature recommendation. As a user of this app, unluckily I have really bad genetics which make me look ugly which leads to me not getting any matches even with memberships. I thought a clever way of getting people to match, making a random chat room where two people can talk back and forth between each other based on a persons settings and preferences. Through this chat no pictures are shown until after a good chat the two automatically match allowing to see each other’s profile. I believe this would be a good feature and would help people meet new people by personality! Please try to get this into circulation of the developers!!

Save your money - algorithm is designed to take your money.. I’m a straight male and I have used this app on & off for 6 years. As a software engineer I can clearly see how their new algorithm is designed to deceive the user to spend more money to get matched & liked. I had more connections using the free version. As soon as I upgraded, the matches & likes become non-existing and I receive regular offers to upgrade even further to increase my chance of matching. As soon as you spend money once, the algorithm realises you are willing to spend money and blocks others from seeing your profile and suggest you upgrade even further to increase your chances of matching. It’s a good app for passing time only. Don’t expect to hook up with anyone using this app - that’s not what it’s designed to do.

Absolutely Unfair. Used the app for sometime and for some reason out of the blue get told I have violated some community guidelines even though I would never do something that warrants getting banned for life and not even told of the reason why or able to appeal my case They give you no explanation and their service is just absolute garbage. I attempted to contact several times and got met with the same robotic response and not a person cared to listen to the fact that I hadn’t done anything to warrant such disrespect. You would think since they’re so concerned with community that they would give you the opportunity to provide insight and your defence, but no they don’t give you the opportunity to say anything and will ban you without any reason why

Banned for no reason. I used to love using this app I've had it for years but I have just been permanently banned without warning and there is no option to appeal my ban. I have messaged the tinder support team and they refuse to give me a reason as to why I was banned. I have read the community guidelines and terms of service multiple times and I haven't violated any of them. What is the point of even having them if it doesn't matter if you follow them? It's just the same automated responses from customer service, "sorry we are unable to give you any more info at this time" just absolutely ridiculous that you dish out bans for no reason at all. I know I am not the only one with this problem. Tinder needs to sort its customer service out. Unbelievable that you can receive such a harsh and immediate penalty with no justification or reason. Very disappointed

Prompting for push notifications is terrible. Turning off notifications for this app results in multiple, inescapable prompts reminding you incessantly that you’ve turned notifications off. Yes, I’ve turned notifications off for this app - it was a conscious choice. I wanted to reduce the amount of time I spend checking messages rather than straight up uninstall the app. This decision however has resulted in a multitude of banners covering half my screen and constantly prompting me to turn notifications back on. One of the worst UX decisions I’ve seen implemented in an app in a long while - rather than let me customise my own settings, the options are either be bombarded with badges and notifications or to completely uninstall.

50% OFF SCAM + BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I emailed politely explaining that the 50% off link via email was not working and would just send you too the app with the normal prices on display, this was after only 4 hours within receiving the email about the offer. I also gave screenshots to show it wasn’t working with the time until he left hand corner also for evidence Once I had a response the customer service person was blunt and didn’t even bother to check my screenshots at all and just said it expires after 24 hours blah blah, I emailed again with even more clear evidence and just got the same poor response back but the second one was more rude and made it look like I was stupid when they both were the idio** who didn’t even bother to look in the first place and put it back on the expiry time - which was even more a kick to the face as it was still within the 24 hour time frame… Long story short - the offers don’t work and it’s just a scam to get you to purchase it without noticing - when you do inquire for help they don’t care or bother to even try and treat you like dirt Happy to hear back from someone who actually cares and is willing to help and I’d be more than incline to remove my review - until then it stays up for people to know not to fall for it.

I’ve had a good experience with it so far but it needs more precession.. I’ve had some decent luck with tinder so far but I’ve noticed how there’s a huge amount of users and only a small amount of options to put in to see what you want. Personally I think it would be both beneficial and practical to put in options for people to see exactly what they’re looking for. For example if a trans woman wanted to see trans men they could put in an option that makes is so only trans men only show up in the feed or if a no binary person wanted to make friends with other non-binary people that’s something they can do or maybe even neurodivergent people like me perhaps. I’m this day and age when there are practically an infinite amount of genders having more specific choices and options seems like the best option. Thank you for reading my review and please consider my request.

Too many onlyfan and instagram model accounts. I’ve had tinder for years now and it hasn’t been a great experience all round but lately all the matches I get are onlyfans accounts. I had downloaded the app to try find someone and all I get are onlyfan accounts and Insta personalities trying to get people to subscribe to their onlyfans account and to get more followers on Insta. I would get excited to see that I had a match and when I get on there it’s just the same stuff. Either an Instagram account trying to get another follower or an onlyfans subscription. And it is pretty disheartening when you try to make the best profile you can and for you to only match with people that aren’t there to meet but are there to sell themselves. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone.

Money gouging. You pay 45 a month for gold get only a couple things. Where as 2 years ago you got a lot more. 65 for the new platinum but still get very little. Great if you’re a woman as you’re spoilt for choice. If you’re a guy, you’re easily able to spend $100 a month to get noticed and for the algorithm to actually show you close matches that are on and to be seen via boosts etc. Then there is the fake profiles, IG influencers, OF models all trying to get traffic. I’m not bitter because I got no matcha, I did ok and met a couple people but the very vast majority leave you on read, then you have to also pay for that feature too. Tinder knows who leaves people on read and aren’t active but won’t do a thing about it. Or any of the other issues with the app and service. I’d like to see them develop another app for serious relationships and keep this for their hook up culture as I think that is all it is good for...

Lost my account, only to find out it’s using the subscription. So my account stopped working, I didn’t get logged out or anything, it just stopped working. Couldn’t message people and stuff like that. So I made a new account, stupidly with the same email. I then, after spending money, find out the account is somehow still there and is using the subscription I paid for on my new account. I have tried for ages to try and get back into that original account but I literally can’t, it’s like it is actually deleted and gone, but somehow still using the subscription that wasn’t meant for it. I’ve been told that my account is still up and people can see it which is super gross because I can’t even change that now. This app is broken, any help would be much appreciated.

Don’t waste your time.. Don’t waste your time getting matches and never being able to shoot your shot because you ended up getting banned- for LIFE. You cannot create multiple accounts, your number is forever required to create said account and forever attached to your Facebook and your tinder account. I am a respectful girl who believes in cyber safety and treating others with kindness, and I have been banned permanently. I have asked tinder support to tell me exactly what violations I supposedly made, and to no avail they are ignoring me and responding with the same automated response over and over. I did not deserve a ban, let alone a lifelong one! If I did anything wrong, it’s probably having an outburst of anger directed toward some disgusting pig of a man who had no respect for me and sent me awful messages. I probably told him what for and he reported me? Absolutely ridiculous tinder. I’m devastated as I used to like this app! My friends and I had harmless fun and had some enjoyment out of this platform. Now I am forced to actually talk to people I like in person. Whether or not that’s good, I don’t know. Screw you Tinder! Fed me up to the point of leaving a crappy review, which is way too much effort. Ugh.

Terrible customer service!. When I first created my account it told me I was not of age (18). This went on for about a year. Tinder customer support told me that I was banned even though I hadn’t even go to use my account?!!! Then I finally got to make account with the same phone number after about a year of trying again. Then this week it logged me out randomly and said it was an issue with log in details, tried to log back in and it tells me I’m not 18. For reference I’m 19 and turning 20 at the end of the year. Again tried to contact tinder support and was again told that I had been banned!!!! I have not put anything inappropriate or contacted anyone in a wrongful manner. In fact I haven’t even made conversation with someone because this app has given me the chance to use it. Terrible customer support. Either this app/service is terrible or it’s broken. Have had no issue with hinge or bumble. Not to mention I have purchased tinder gold. So at this point they’re grabbing my money and leaving. Get your act together and instead of having bot reply’s on email actually help the customer understand why this is happening. Telling the customer they are banned even though the account is locked because apparently I am underage is terrible. I’d like to actually talk to someone instead of a automated response!

Plenty of glitches and issues. To begin, I’m a Tinder Gold subscriber sporadically over a period of the last 5 years, and currently one. Tinder has one major problem that needs to be addressed - the number of active female profiles is not accurate. The whole feed on Gold shown is mostly fake - it’s women based in poor countries in Asia using passport to show up in major Australian cities. How tf are they rich enough to pay for Tinder Gold/Plat? Which is related to my next point - women in the “likes you” section are often not within your parameters. They’re abroad, selling something, pretending on want long term relations but are the ugliest bunch of people on the planet. Then there’s bots and women selling Snapchat and OF premium in their bios. No bans for them. Boosts do virtually nothing anymore because you want people to buy Super Boost which is 4x the price of a regular Boost. Tinder, fix yourselves up. At this stage if you’re not a 6ft tall white and muscular man, this app won’t work for you. If you’re a woman, it’s paradise.

People using it for the wrong purpose. I was on tinder to look for a new genuine relationship and trying to make a connection. However it’s not the fault of the app but more of the users. They don’t use the app as intended and only promote their social media’s to gain followers. They also use the app to just find friends and such. What’s the point in using the app as intended if you’re only their to find friends. There’s more to life then social media. For those like me who has been struggling to find true love I feel you. For those who manage to find a relationship at the end then awesome. Unfortunately it’s the users that really kill the whole dating experience. For those people who are not using it for the right purposes, you are one of the worst people to come across.

Fix this !! Brand new account !! Banned for no reason. Hey I just created a new account a 1 week ago after losing my previous one ( because I had no more access to the old number I opened my account with and unfortunately didn’t attached an email either ) anyway. So this time I have a new number I’m creating my account attached a email to it to be sure to not loose it again ! , my pictures were really basic nothing offensive, my bio almost empty just saying in it ( French and I’would complete this when I have time I’ve got stuff to do before ) nothing offensive here either ! A few matches mainly same people with who I matched with my previous account or people that I already know ! I haven’t spoken to anyone !!!! So impossible for me to be offensive or breaking any rules here !!! So what is the problem here ??? And don’t tell me I broke any community rules and that I have to read because it is impossible !!!

The app is BROKEN. The app is completely dysfunctional. It crashes instantly every time I open it, so I need to then open it a second time, but then it inevitably lags, freezes and crashes. I have to use the desktop website if I actually want it to work. I have Gold but the “likes” interface is useless. What is the point in knowing I have thousands and thousands of likes but the only way to sort through them is to manually scroll through (on desktop, there is no chance of this working on the app). There NEED to be filtering options, such as oldest to newest, age specification, distance, recently active, interests, etc. In addition, when clicking on people who have liked you, it should automatically show you the next person, so you could swipe through them rather than having to click on every single individual profile. If I swipe left on someone who has shown up in my “people who liked you”, I do not want to be shown to them again. There have been people who I have swiped left on SIX TIMES, but they just keep liking me and clogging up my likes feed. The video chat pop up is also very annoying.

It changed my life. Of course there r a lot of idiots on this app and sometimes it seems like no one decent will ever match u. But trust me it will happen. I’ve been on this app a very long time and I’ve met up with countless people and as frustrating as it was thinking nothing will change. It was well worth the wait and I’ve now fallen in love with the most amazing woman and it’s now a year and a half later since I met her and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve never been happier and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her. Because of this app my life now will never be the same.

Buggy mess and a money trap. Been using tinder for a good long time, years in fact. For your average looking guy it will Bury you until you buy a boost, it will hide matches from you until you buy gold, which is too expensive $40. I only have 4 matches and 13 pending matches that I’ve had for like 3+ weeks. The pending matches are blurred, but you can make out just a bit to know who it is. I noticed that 3 of those 13 pending matches, where people I already matched with. I wasn’t matching with anyone for weeks. So today I finally caved in and got gold, miraculously the people I know I matched with vanished from pending. So I was left with 10 pending matches, with those 10 pending matches, were mostly people who using passport which makes the distance filter redundant. 2 people where near me, I thought if I match with them all, it might trick tinder in to thinking I’m more desirable and boost me.. but nope, i swiped right on them all and.... ALL of my pending matches failed to match.. so I spent $40 and got in return was regret. So tinder makes me fill ugly and now makes me feel dumb... Thanks tinder

Revenge Banning with no appeals process. Tinder bans you if another user reports you (with no evidence) and will not allow you to appeal the ban or reinstate your account. When I left a date early after feeling very uncomfortable, he verbally abused, insulted me and followed behind me slanging profanities! He immediately blocked me on Tinder, which was fine with me, except he has also reported me to Tinder and they have in turn banned me - a Revenge Banning! I have provided evidence of messages sent to friends after the date explaining what had happened and asked them to review my Tinder history however keep getting an automated response about their term and conditions. I have been made to feel like a criminal when I have contacted them asking for help and an explanation. So far the support team have not been helpful and are facilitating this mans harassment and intimidating behaviour. Tinder need to take these enquires seriously and provide a true response as a lot of us are out here doing the right thing and are victims of cruel behaviour.

IMHO: not-so-subtle deception. Invasive, expensive, distracting - you need to turn off notifications. Even when you pay they won’t leave you alone with interruptions/pop ups. I’ve disabled notifications from the phone settings, which is unfortunate because you won’t get message notifications. Furthermore, a blue message pops up every few seconds, exactly where you press to see the rest of the profile details, reminding you that you can Super Like this profile. Unfortunately, accidentally touching this message causes you to in fact use up a Super Like, presumably so that you can buy more (a premium account only gives you five per week - and for a less desirable profile, normal likes rarely result in matches). It feels like deception. This app is really my all time worst app, I’m not sure why it has the most users. The feedback doesn’t seem to make any difference to the company. Let’s all jump ship and vote with our money.

Banned after raising issue with app. I’ve used Tinder in the past and recently decided to re-install and get Gold. Pretty soon I started seeing a lot of matches disappear. At first I thought I was just being unmatched, except I’d get replies from “invisible matches” which I then couldn’t read. This happened more often until literally every new match would disappear. When I wrote to customer support, I was banned immediately for violating the T&C’s, though no reason was given even after I repeatedly asked for one. Not only is this the first service I’ve been banned from, but now the people I met think they’ve been ghosted. After reading other reviews, I’m convinced Tinder has become a scam and as soon as people raise an issue they get banned on the spot. Do not use.

Worst Misogynistic company ever. Have a bunch of bots sending generic scripts and ignoring all your responses when you actually reach out to customer service. Ask you to send them a whole bunch of information and then ignore it all and circle back between the various scripted responses back to ask you to send them a whole bunch of information. I got a “warning” for standing up to sexual abuse and harassment and then they started stalking my profile, and then I got a BAN and NEVER COME BACK for DECLINING an arrangement that a guy wanted where he wanted someone to “financially dominate” him, I said “nope”, he said “I am interested in a relationship and giving this kink up - go out for dinner?” And I said “yep, let’s do that, you don’t have to give me any cash, if you want to give me something, just pay for the dinner”. Totally banned for that!! Nasty company

Show me people in the same country at least!. Hey tinder just wondering, what was the point of the new ‘only show people in this range’ switch under the distance preference slider if half the people in my stacks still live thousands of KM away??? Idc if you want to bring the world together during these troubled times or whatever, I want to swipe on people I can actually meet. I assumed that’s what this new switch would do but either I guess not, or it just doesn’t work. Oh and while I’m here, why do I keep losing chats with people and they return to the matches bar at the top of the tab? I think it’s a new match but no, it’s someone I matched and talked with 8 months ago! Get it together pls xx

Was great until.... I enjoyed the tinder app more than other dating apps. Everything was great until I was banned unexpectedly and without a reason given. I went through their terms of service and possible reasons as to why I’d be banned but none of them seemed to align with what was on my account. This happened just after I deleted my account and re signed back up to reset it too. I have sent through a ticket days ago trying to at least find out why with no response as of yet and a message saying “we may not respond to you individually” under the subject of bans. No appeal options? Not even a reason given? A bit unfair honestly. I understand there’s important safety aspects to consider but a reason should at least be given.

Restricting & isolating. The only way they keep you logging on is by not letting you see the profiles in your area. The app is literally designed to make it harder to find people so it can get you to pay for access to those profiles. When they are competing with Grindr this means most gay guys just stay on Grindr so it’s not worth paying on here because even if you do it’s a smaller dating pool than what you get on Grindr for free anyway. This is ok as a backup dating app but I’d honestly look elsewhere if you want successful outcomes. All you get from tinder is bait notifications to try to get you to log back in. The notification begging just comes off as sad. The app needs you more than the value you get from it & basically begs you multiple times a day to log in. The resulting experience is often disappointing. You’ll be lucky if you’re allowed to view more than 5profiles within 50km whenever you log on.

Steadily declining. I’ve used Tinder on and off for many years and every year it gets worse and worse. I once had no problem getting matches and conversations going, but it seems more and more the algorithm works against you to force you to pay to become visible. On top of this, the place is filled, and I mean FILLED, wall to wall with scammers, grifters and charlatans wanting you to follow them on other socials just to try and fleece you. Showing your Kik, Snapchat or Instagram handles in your bio should be banned for this reason. I’d say there are less than 5% real, genuine women on the app. There appears no way to filter out the fakes posing from abroad thanks to the ability to change location. This was once a fun, real, user friendly app. It’s honestly a waste of time now and there are way better apps out there.

Tinder is scamming you. Have being using tinder for a while now. Started having issues with my account, tried to contact tinder, kept getting automated messages from agents who accused me of fraud. Very disappointed with the service, emailed multiple times yet they gave the same response, in the end they could not fix my issue, I tried to get a refund directly. Within hours of sending my message tinder decided to ban me. Being a paying customer who has used them often I was very disappointed, had a full 2 weeks left on my subscription plus multiple little purchases they decided to take my money leaving me with no refund of purchase even though they banned me from my account for violations of policy that are and never explained to you so u know what ur doing wrong. I am 100% sure that tinder just decided to ban me and take my money cause they could not fix my account instead of trying to help me they took my money and banned me leaving me with no way of using the service I payed for with my own money. Instead they scam u into paying for their services yet when it comes to it and a issue occurs they will just take your money and ban your saying you’ve done something wrong when u haven’t. I find tinders actions to be very poor to accuse a customer of fraud I think is disrespectful and very bad on their behalf.

Banned for nothing and unhelpful “Support” team. I have never left a negative review on anything in my life but I couldn’t walk away from this. Absolutely disappointing experience. I opened my tinder app to find my account was banned unexpectedly for no reason at all. When inquiring with the support team as to why, on multiple occasions I was just told that the guidelines and terms are taken seriously and I was not actually provided with any explanation as to why I was banned. When I asked for an explanation all I got told was that one could not be provided at this time and still no actual answer as to why I was suddenly banned for life. For a support team I have received absolutely no support, no help, no explanations and no effort. Pretty poor form considering I did nothing to breach any guidelines or terms. Pretty disappointed to say the least and if I could give this zero stars I would. Do better tinder.

Honest review after 3 years of use. Been using this app for a few years now.. and i can honestly say there’re so many better apps, tinder is super overrated and only allows for the small minority of lucky people to become more visible to others. It can drive you insane, because no matter how perfect your profile is, and how attractive you look, you’re most likely to just be in a spot where you don’t get a match for a week.. the algorithm system is horribly developed, and the people behind it are obviously no experts on how it should all work. I’ve been getting so much more luck on hinge, even though I’ve perfected both accounts, not to brag but many have said I’m around a 9\10, but looks shouldn’t even matter obviously, its just my point is no matter how much effort you put into something on tinder it always screws you over unless you keep ip with the ridiculous algorithm such as swiping on people in a perfectly consistenct order.. too many right swipes=you’re desperate.. too many lefts= you’re not giving people a chance.. theres not even an in between. Anyway, download bumble, hinge or even pure.. they all give you a chance, unlike tinder Thanks for reading, have a great day :)

Still no way of reporting many abusive and scan profiles. Twice now I’ve recently had fake profiles attempt to scam one of which had even passed tinder’s verification process so it’s very worrying that the blue tick itself is not something you can trust. The worse part is that if the scammer suspects you’re onto them they can unmatch you before you can report them. This is a massive failing in Tinder’s risk management as it allows you only to report profiles that are currently matched. Simple fix. If you are unmatched then yes you can’t message them but still allow the profile to be visible in your chat so you can report the person. If Tinder is genuine about creating a safe community then they must have ways for members to report abusive or scam behaviours at all times not just when you’re still matched To make matters worse when you try to go into the app to search for support and enter eg ‘contact’ or ‘scam’ and his search, nothing comes up and there’s no way within the app to contact tinder. Instead you have to Google them. In this case I did take screenshots of the profile and conversation and forwarded these by email to tinder, only because the first time someone attempted to scam me I can no record of it because they unmatched first.

Overall Satisfied. I am a regular user of Tinder. What I hate is the fact that for the amount of money I’m paying for membership, customer support staff don’t hesitate to take your money and then not reply. I constantly get issues with this annoying “would you like to video chat with this person”. I keep pressing no and then it freezes my app. I constantly have to log in again each time it pops in, so I can barely use it. I constantly messaged the support staff 6 times the last two mo the and no reply. Don’t know if this is a joke, but for me to pay something that barely works is so unhelpful. I hope this goes to the app developer so the staff are trained into mitigating these errors.

So many predators. Not safe for women. When you match with a man and the only thing he says to is you is DTF? is one of the most painful dehumanising experiences which is really common on tinder. It’s scary to know that the guys you pass every day on the street and work with are actually closet predators . The simplicity and concept of tinder is brilliant however I actually want a way to take some of the harassment I experience to court. Girls I recommend using it for fun but don’t actually meet the creeps or give them what they want. Ever.

Poor service, false advertising and false accusations. I’ve been using tinder a long time, and recently I’ve been subjected to numerous accusations from tinder of inappropriate behaviour and violating community standards, which is completely false, and threatened to have my account banned. Upon approaching tinder customer support I was told they can’t tell me what the behaviour was and just kept being told to read the community standards (which I have) I also had an image removed and tinder accused it of being “distasteful”, but there was nothing sexual or distasteful about it. I’m also a paying member and don’t get all my features, and the notifications saying “you have over 100 likes” are false, I have tinder gold and I can see how many likes I have, it’s a false advertisement to lure you into swiping more.

Do not spend money on this app. I had been using tinder platinum for about a year which expired a couple days ago. I was constantly getting notifications of new likes to which nothing actually showed up in “likes”. Only to randomly match with people I’d swipe on? That is 1. For two, I was being shown that I had run out of people to like within my parameters. Now that I have standard tinder, I seem to have a thousands more people within my parameters, and a lot better looking ones…? Platinum/ any other subscription is a complete scam and a waste of your money. I’m disgusted that I got absolutely sucked into buying any subscription from tinder. Stop scamming people and do what you made the app for, to help people find and connect with others. Absolute scam.

Tinder has no idea how to run their business. Have got tinder after turning 18, the app said age restricted so i waited a few days still nothing. So i decide to email them asking what’s going on considering i’m 18 and still am restricted. I get an email saying i’m banned for violating community conduct or whatever and have had 10 emails back and forth trying to get an answer as to why i’ve been banned without even using the app. They refuse to give me an answer and i think it’s because they don’t know themselves or don’t have any reason for the ban. After several reviews on here that have had similar problems with the app i think this is completely unprofessional. Tinder needs to monitor their employees and the app better instead of banning people out of boredom or their version of population control. If someone gets banned they deserve an explanation as to why!

Find another Avenue. If you find yourself someone that values respect and honesty then this app unfortunately is not for you, if you find yourself lucky enough to find the one on here then congratulation you are 1 in a million (not an accurate statistic) that has managed to scrape the good from the bottom of the tub, the rest of the site is riddled with toxic people that only care about themselves and have no motivation to find self growth, people that will blame you for there mistakes and have truely not found themselves, if you are looking for something honest and caring unfortunately if you were like me, you will have to venture out into that dangerous world to find it, because you reading this, it is not here for you, I promise you that.

WORST DATING APP. I’ve had this app for 4 years, I feel like everyone only uses it because it’s so popular and not because it’s good. While you do find people on it, it’s horribly faulty and poorly run. Once you reach a certain amount of matches the app won’t even open and glitches constantly. They also read every single message sent via the app and monitor them. Stupidly I was joking around with a match and said I was 17, (I’m actually 22 and have a license to prove it) they read that message and banned my account with no hesitation. Super creepy that they read everything you say… I’m sure everyone will agree. Private messages are supposed to stay private. Surely there is a law banning this or something? There’s no way of retrieving my account or proving I am 22 either because customer service simply doesn’t care to help. Horrible app. Definitely download Bumble or Hinge and save yourself the stress of having your messages read.

Banned with NO warnings. Banned for telling a guy i don't want a d*** pic and using the actual word. No appeals process, no checking why i sent that. Tinder just assumes from me using that particular word, that I am a threat to its users. The guy who reported me is the one that is the probelm, was hassling me to chat with him off Tinder. I said no as I do not want d*** pics. So woman cannot stand up for themselves anymore apparently! The person who hassles gets to stay and those who do nothing get lifetimes bans. Crappy app! Great to ban for those who commit sexual assault, but banning a person for saying they do not want d*** pics? That is sexist! Not impressed, and yes im aware it was you Sandy who got me banned, so stay away from him or you to could be banned. Because he does not know how to talk to people. It is not just the ban that is the issue, it is the people i was talking to that i feel sorry for. They do not know why i was banned and i never got a chance to say goodbye to. Just a blanket ban, just because one stupid idiot cannot hear the d word, despite having one. Lifetime ban. Stay away from Sandy the ban man and harraser.

Found my wife on here. Found my wife on here A couple of years back I went onto tinder one day I found a beautiful girl. (my wife) We started chatting together and we had a lot in common she liked the same movies, shows and snowboarding. So one day we met up and I took her to a nice restaurant to get to know her a lot more, after that I took he back to her place. I find out A couple weeks later her mum kicks her out the house for ‘dating’ so being a gentleman I let her stay for awhile. at my place. Ever since that we started going to the gym together watching movies and going snowboarding.

No support from this App!!. I’ve used this app on and off over the years & never had a problem until now. I’ve not been active for several months now and to my surprise I go to login and I now have been banned ??? WHY?? without an email without a message and to no reason why!!! when trying to look for some technical support to get answers and to explain how could this happen when I follow the rules & the fact my account has not been active!! You can’t even get an email or phone number to get the answers you need just go round and round in circles on their technical support page. This is rude specially when you had someone they was loyal & followed the rules yet I saw so many not doing that. Tinder DO BETTER!!

Customer service ??. Installed Tinder awhile ago and deleted it due to limited people available, reinstalled a few times to find I’ve been banned during the time the apps been deleted. Contacted help/support only to receive the copy and paste paragraph saying I’ve been banned due to guideline violations - with no explanation to why I was even banned in the first place while the app wasn’t even installed. Apparently receiving the same copy and paste message is a good enough fix to asking why I was even banned in the first place 🙄 Asked yet again, only to see ‘unfortunately cannot provide any more information at this time’ when I haven’t gotten a single piece of helpful information. Major communication issues.

Worst dating app and customer service ever. Tinder BAN Alert I am a pretty girl, according to people who have seen me. I’m not a sexist or a racist or a hater. LOL But Tinder banned me for no clear reason, pretty much on the same day I got my Tinder Gold. At first, I was shadowbanned, which made me feel like a ghost. So I emailed the team, and a few hours later, they unbanned me, and I started to use my account again. Then, an hour later, I was asked to take a selfie to get verification, which I did. And then it took ages to get the verification done, so I emailed Tinder staff again. Another few hours later, they replied and told me I could use my account without any issue, but 40 minutes later, I got banned for life. So I had to emailed them again, and this time they told me it was final decision. The whole thing is just so weird, abrupt, and rude, along with their inconsistency. So , for those guys who have complained about being banned for no reason, here I am, a pretty girl can also be banned for no reason. LOL

Sexual assault. Matched with a girl, was going really well until we realized we had a mutual acquaintance. Turned out her best friend is the person who sexually assaulted me 5 years ago. She didn’t believe me, said I was gaslighting and reported my account. Tinder banned me overnight but kept my subscription active. When I tried to log back in Tinder informed me I would never be able to have another account linked to any of my existing accounts or phone numbers. She was the first person I felt safe enough to tell.

No customer service. Honestly this app is great, this is new way to meet tons of people. A lot of people here complaining about not having a lot of matches or people replying is on them. Having said that a lot of people here are complaining about being banned with no explanation. I am also one of those people and the only prompt i have received is that i have violated terms of use which i reviewed and have not. The only customer support they have is an automated robot which doesn’t seem to actually review your file and they don’t have a customer support number the only number i found tried scamming me. So essentially they don’t seem to care about customers they have stated they take reports seriously (bullying, abuse) which is must’ve what happened to me yet they do not check the legitimacy of the report. Although they have not considered there are people that will report out of spite / grudge which is a form of bullying and abuse so there system is in need to be updated. Disappointed in the zero customer service in a large company but such is life, seeing as i’m banned now for life this will be my last interaction with this business.

Wtf. I’ve never used tinder before. I’m on here for the first time but my account has been banned. I don’t get it. Plus they don’t give me an excuse as to why

Issues. I got banned because they said I was underage but even when I took pics of my driver license and submitted it, they still wouldn’t let me back in the app.

Banned for no reason. Got gold then was banned the next day for no reason, no warnings or anything just straight banned for life for nothing

Banned without warning or reason. Payed 113 usd just to have them scam me refuse a refund or any reasoning. Basically criminal

Ban hammer for no reason. Welp, looks like I’m now one of the many people who got banned off tinder for absolutely no reason. Guilty until proven innocent I guess.

Banned for no reason. Should be a review process to be unbanned

Banned without a reason. I installed the app last night, woke up to 20likes, didn’t even swipe right yet or talk to anyone and I was already banned. Wth

Harassment allowed ?. My account got taken away because my ex reported me for solicitation with zero proof or reason other than him being petty. I wasn’t given any opportunity to prove my side and they literally removed my account without notice based on unsubstantiated claims. Now I have to get a new number to use this app if I want to. Which I won’t cause I don’t. Super misogynistic to just take women’s accounts down when someone is being vengeful but when men are flagged for actual provable harassment their accounts aren’t taken down without evidence and when evidence is given they are only suspended for a short time. What is the reason for this clear double standard?

another person banned without reason. i’m seeing loads of people her being banned for no reason whatsoever, or because they were too young, which, when i first downloaded tinder i was 17, but this was before tinder made itself 18+, my account worked for about a year but after i had already turned 18 i somehow got banned. at first i thought this was because people who i had called out for their blatant racism (ie calling black children monkeys, or non-black people using the n-word) were mad and reported me, but how in the hell are we supposed to “correct” whatever behaviour doesn’t align with tinder’s terms and conditions if we are never told why we were banned? anyways, now i use bumble which i prefer to tinder, as it allows people who identify as women/femmes to initiate the conversation, and while you can still send photos, they are censored until you purposely click them, so as to protect you from unsolicited nudes. anyways, delete tinder and download bumble y’all :)

Banned. I was randomly banned when I follow all guidelines! I don’t say inappropriate stuff or do anything inappropriate like some people do on here and somehow I’m banned?! I’m of age also!

Account ban. My account got banned for no reason. I emailed them and they keep telling me my account won’t get unbanned for some reason. I’m sick of their crappy customer service.

ban. got ban literally for no reason

Banned for no reason :/. I think the app took one of my jokes too seriously and now i’m banned. I have no idea why I could be banned except for maybe a flirty joke I made….i always tried to use the app respectfully and honestly i was a big advocate for this app until i heard about the random banning it does sometimes :/ sad it totally interrupted the convo i was having.

Customer service. Had some girl harassing me and besides banning her I got banned for making a childish remark on my end, no block feature so I was rude. And contacted them apologizing and just letting them know she wouldn’t stop spamming and harassing me and my account gets banned, the customer service for this app is terrible,

Confused user. I was banned from Tinder along two other dating apps within the same weekend—I’m not sure at all why I was banned. Must have been some technical bug? No response or way to appeal from developer.

Banned for no reason. Had the app for little over a month and was going pretty good then all of a sudden banned out of nowhere.

Banning people frenzy. BE WARNED. We (a couple) have been on Tinder for close to 10 years. Met very nice people. But just last week, without warning and having had no contact in a very long while with any one, we received a message from Tinder when I open the app. It read: Your account has been banned from Tinder for violating our Terms of Use and/or Community Guidelines. To promote safety on our platform, we take violations of our policies seriously and don't offer an appeals process at this time. This decision is final, so you’ll no longer be able to access your account or create new accounts in the future. Trying to reach someone to get help or at the very least an idea of what we did wrong, we only got the exact same message from this very cold and bizarre organization. Now you know.

Banned for no reason. I made my account today and I was swiping through and then tinder logged me out and when I tried to log back in it said I was banned. For what? Nothing? I guess this is a sign the world wants me to stay a virgin single for the rest of my life 😤😠

Ban for no reason. I got ban for no reason how can I contact tinder

Ugh. All week I have been having so many issues with using this app. I’ll open it and then the screen is loading and loading forever but it doesn’t ever load!!!

Banned for no reason. I made an account awhile ago but I wasn’t 18. I just turned 18 today so I went on the app and tried to log in but it says I’m banned?? Customer service refuses to help. This is ridiculous. I haven’t even used the app so how is it possible that I’m banned???? Worst app ever🙄

Account banned. I don’t understand why I got banned from Tinder for no reason and I emailed support team they still didn’t do anything it’s just stupid and ridiculous

banned for no reason. banned without any notification or reasons

Disappointed by this. I was banned from the app and I have absolutely no idea what I could have done wrong. I did not violate any terms or conditions so I put in a request and the customer service did not help me at all. I was enjoying conversations and now I have lost contact with the people. Not happy at all.

Banned and for what?. I got banned with no warning and for no reason, I was actually having a nice conversation for once and now I’m banned! I’m over 18, I didn’t have nudes on my profile, there was no reason for it. And of course there’s no way to actually contact tinder to even understand why you got banned

Disgusting and sexist towards men!. This app is criminal and is so biased and sexist towards men. Discrimination should be penalized.

Banni. Je regarde tous les commentaires et je comprend que je suis loin d’être la seule à qui s’est arrivée. J’ai été banni pour aucune raison moi aussi (on ne m’a rien expliqué non plus) et c’est pratiquement IMPOSSIBLE se refaire un compte. Vraiment décue.

No appeals. It’s ridiculous.. I got banned for writing sugar daddies only in my bio. I’m a 34 yr old dude that was obviously joking. It’s ridiculous there’s no appeals process to being banned. Half the app is fake and they manage to keep real people off.

Very bad. Just wasting your time with this app.

Scam. Please DO NOT give your phone number to Tinder. What will happen is that they will sell your phone number to other companies. And those companies are SCAM. They will call you many times a day trying to scam you. I have used 2 different phone numbers at different times. After a few days, the number of scams calling me dramatically increased. PLEASE BE COUSCOUS.

Très sexiste. Les filles que je connais peuvent voir les gars qu’ils l’ ont like sans avoir le Tinder Premium. Nous les gars, on doit payer si on désire voir les filles qui nous ont like. Tellement sexiste!!!!

Banned for absolutely no reason. This app is complete trash, I downloaded tinder after not having it for awhile and after only 3hrs my account got banned. I emailed tinder support twice almost a week ago trying to find out why I was banned and if I could get that ban lifted and I’ve been ignored so just so people know, if they ask you to send them an email or they ask you to get in touch with them in any way don’t waste your time because they won’t help you. This isn’t the end of the world for me by any means because I can use other apps if need be but damn tinder, you need to work on your customer service big time.

Banned me. They banned me saying I’m underage. I’m sorry sir but my birth certificate says otherwise. I’m so mad because I lost all connections with my matches.

Unclear why I got banned. Logged in today to see that my account got banned. Never put in any inappropriate photos or anything. This app is a joke

Terrible customer service. Logged into my account after deleting it for a bit, got banned for no reason. Customer service does not look into it and keeps the ban

Got band. this is the second time this is happened and it’s really frustrating as I’ve paid for a membership for tinder gold both times in my account randomly gets banned after I reach a certain number of matches and I really don’t understand if there’s anyone contact me and help me figure this out with my account or give me my subscription back that be very helpful because I don’t believe I have broken any other can you drive lines and I’d be more than willing to talk to someone, One minute I was OK on the app within the same hour then the next it said my account was banned

Girls Just Playing. Most of the girls on here are plugging their IG. A lot of them have no desire whatsoever to make a connection or talk

Unjustly Ban. The app works fine and it’s really user-friendly but it doesn’t tell us WHAT the reason is for us getting banned and there’s absolutely no way to appeal. I’ve heard from various sources if a girl reports a guy he’s banned immediately but not the other way around, takes various time’s reporting a female and they “violate” terms all the time by not showing their faces or putting images with quotes, etc. and that’s really unfair. Fix this!

Disgrace... This app is a disgrace and should be SHUT down immediately. Do not and I mean do not waste your money on this crap they just take your money and show likes but you never match even with payment, greed will be Tinder’s downfall remember these words.

Ban. Have been banned for no apparent reason. I was never rude to people I matched with or otherwise. Ridiculous that there isn’t a method to appeal.

What is wrong with Tinder?. I am just getting back into dating pool and was going to try Tinder but after reading all the reviews about people getting banned for no reason (or so they claim) no way am I planning to use this app. There are literally dozens of these complaints. What is most concerning is that Tinder developers don't even try to respond or explain what might be going on. That is really poor customer relations. Glad these apps have reviews at least to warn others. So thanks for the warning.

TINDER GOLD GETS YOU BANNED. Hi all, I gave this review because my account got banned for absolutely no reason. I looked it up online and apparently this suddenly happens to a lot of guys without wanting. I can assure you I had done absolutely nothing wrong; no nudity, no bad messages, no racism or insults thrown. I even had gold! And yet they still ban you, there’s obviously a glitch in the system, and Tinder needs to work on this. I think maybe because gold gives you more accessibility, and so more people are there to report you, even if it’s for no reason.

Banned??. My account was banned—and absolutely no violations were made I can assure you and there is no way to get it back or even make a new account. Welp. Do better tinder.

Blocked for no reason ??. I can’t get back into my account I even sent them an email and all they said is will look into this...

They allowed people to harass me for being trans. Then they blocked my account and did nothing to help me recover it. I’ll be reporting them to the human rights commission of Canada. My profile was targeted and again, they did nothing to help. Their support team sends the same auto response emails under different names

Banned for no reason. I paid for this service and was banned for no reason and wasted half a month of premium. And customer service refused to help and give any sort of explanation I’m so mad😡

Haven’t used it and I already can’t use it. I tried signing up and put my new number in, as soon as I did I just brought me back to the main screen, doesn’t allow me to make an account.

Banned- been on since 2017. Not sure why I was banned. I have been on this app for years, I make one offhand joke to a lady I matched with. Then I can’t log in a half hour later. I honestly don’t understand why there is no way to appeal a ban or even get issued a warning. I have spent hundreds of dollars on this app over the years and have had marginal success in actually meeting people (which is why I feel angry to be banned at all). I am polite, my profile was free of offensive material, but here I am. Lord forbid I have to actually meet someone the traditional way.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Tinder is un-American. This app does not like free speech. My account was banned for expressing free speech on my account. As an American my rights are inalienable. A online dating app shouldn’t have control over that in this regard nor should be able to filter what I say on my dating profile just because it offended someone. That’s not my problem if it offended someone. Tinder is no different than these other garbage online platforms like Twitter or Facebook with the censorship of our free speech and accounts as a whole. In online dating its import to have a bit oh honestly inside your profile. I believe this will help polarize people a little better towards me and ultimately get better matches that are in more alignment with what I believe in. Tinder banned my account for expressing my free speech. This is un-American and unconstitutional. This app has gone downhill exponentially since it’s inception. I wouldn’t recommend this app due to the water downed quality of it, free speech censorship and the inferior design. Also, this app has a huge stigma of being the so called hookup app so nobody takes it seriously anymore. Definitely recommend Bumble over this app due to it having better features. Won’t ever use Tinder again.

Tinder. Tinder wil ban you, give you zero explanation, then leave you banned for years. What used to be a fun and reliable way to meet girls of all types with different interests became an unfortunate hub for unsuspecting males being cancelled without warning, without notice. Sadly, Tinder is the biggest and the most well known place for dating of all types but they are the opposite of a leader in society, by becoming selective in who gets to engage and enjoy dating life, which has become increasingly reliant on just one single outlet, which is mainly online, for some people, it is more than others, and dating is more online based in 2020 than ever before. In the past, we relied on a multitude of destinstions both physical and digitial in order to date and meet mates. How unfair is it that this seems like THE public square, through mostly no fault of our own, the ONLY public square for so many, yet some get banned for no good reason and don't get to date. How lacking in honor and respect for mankind. Tinder has become notoriously anti-man with a long list of cancellations, all of these cancelled people sharing the very similar story "banned for nothing, no way around it", with Tinder not caring what the experience is for those who have been banned.

Took a simple, decently working app and ruined it.. I’m a software engineer. Tinder in concept is not a difficult app to implement. I’ve had the app on and off over several years, and it used to function fine and give off the impression of being fair in presenting potential matches. In the past couple years they have somehow taken a perfectly decent app and ruined it. The app is very clearly now about maximizing profit at the expense of the user. This is made abundantly clear by shoving paid features down our throats and showing higher quantities of higher liked users only to paying members. Meanwhile non-paid members are left with a limited experience and fewer matches. The decision makers at Tinder are insulting the user’s intelligence by thinking we won’t notice it. The users notice this and are vacating the app. The user base is clearly not as alive as it used to be and I’m sure Tinder sees declining numbers in there regular user count reports. And after putting up with all of this, they have the nerve to randomly ban and delete my account, with zero warning or explanation, thus deleting all conversations I had going. If any other app developers want an example of how to take a decent app and run it into the ground, look not further than Tinder.

Found Each Other. We never thought we’ll be coming back on this app 4 years later to write a review, but here we are. We want to say thank you to Tinder for helping us to connect with each other. We don’t think we would’ve cross paths, but we did through this app. It marks our 3rd year of marriage as of yesterday and coming upon our 4th year being together in total. We’ve came across odd people, but don’t allow that to stop you from finding your soulmate even through an app. In life you’ll be bound to come across odd people. That’s fine, it helps you to know who to look into when finding someone you want to connect with. We didn’t think we’ll start a permanent relationship as we both were just looking to make friends. Not the hook up friends, just regular friends to chat with. He moved permanently from his home to move to my state. We build a home here. Thank you Tinder for connecting us ❤️

skeptical. Well I just started to download this app and while it was in the process I went to the reviews... I personally value reviews from users because I’ve had terrible experiences with some applications. After reading that apparently they banned an account without cause or explanation is unsettling, but the fact they gave a generic response to the person when they reached out to support is totally bogus. And the fact they don’t have a support number with live reps make me discouraged. If you have ever had a problem with some program that had horrible support you know what I mean. I would rather use a glitchy buggy app with real people providing high quality support than a nice smooth friendly GUI app that has no support. I wish they would impose regulations mandating these companies to provide phone, email, and chat support. Besides think about it- a person who doesn’t support their product .... I know I take pride in things I do and lack of support says they don’t care about their product/service or their users. Step your game up and stop being greedy losers. For real probably gonna just delete this without creating an account now.

Filled with bots and people seeking solicitation. I’m not new to the dating app scene. I even used tinder for a while many years ago. Since then, I’ve primarily used other competitors, as they contain a certain “class” of people that you don’t usually find on tinder. After my most recent relationship ended, I figured I would give Tinder another shot, as I did manage to go on a few nice dates with nice women when I lasted used it. Well, the place is now swarming with either fake profiles, or women that will “match” with you, only to then direct you to some external site for solicitation (ie onlyfans). I’m sure there are probably a few women on here that are real/decent, but I certainty haven’t found them after spending the last hour or so swiping left on almost every profile I came across. If you’re into paid “fun” or possibly being catfished by a 300lb guy that lives hundreds of miles away from you, this is the app for you. I immediately requested a refund for my subscription, which is something I’ve never done on any app (dating or other) before. Seriously, don’t buy into the hype, unless you’re ready to catch a virus (both you and your computer/phone).

Banned for no reason. I’d hope the developer sees this. This app is fairly good. I can’t exactly complain other than the fact that I use to match with girls 100+ miles away from when my search radius is around 40 miles. I’m sorry but I don’t care to match with a girl that is 2 states away and sometimes in another country lol. I want to also add that i find it fairly ridiculous that I was banned for no reason I can think of nor did THEY give me a reason... On top of that, they have no way to appeal it. I’ve been on the website over the months and it says that, and I quote, “at the moment, we don’t offer a formal appeal process”. I could be wrong, surely I’m not, but this has been in development for a long time. I’d love to know when this is a thing. It makes me think that the developers don’t care enough about their users to want to even make something for appeals. Your customers must care enough about this app to want to try and appeal their ban. I’d love to know why I got banned in the first place anyways but they won’t tell me. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone. It’s ridiculous... the developers don’t care, they make you pay a rather ridiculous amount of money to even match with people.

Discrimination. This app/site was good until my account got randomly banned for no reason. All it says is there was a violation of some kind but didn’t specify what that violation was. Then when you try to contact tinder to get clarification and get your account working again you either get no response at all or you some automated response that still tells you nothing. I have spent over $400 on this app in the last 4 months and to have my account banned with no explanation and no option of fixing what ever issue it was is completely unfair. The only thing I’ve been able to find anywhere says that my acct probably got banned because in my bio I stated that my husband and i are looking for a 3rd ( a woman to be our girlfriend). First, there are literally TONS of accounts that say the exact same thing. Second, it’s very discriminatory of this app/site to ban people for seeking a polyamorous relationship vs a traditional monogamous one. It’s discrimination boron line no other way to put it. Going to find other more inclusive apps because I refuse to give another cent to a site that claims to be inclusive and even claims to be a swinging app and then bans ppl for nothing. It’s unethical, unfair and just plain wrong.

Bans for no reason. I’ve been using Tinder since it first came out and I thorough enjoyed the app! I actually met some really cool people which I still talk to. Now... this app is useless. I understand that people can be predatory but the practices that Tinder is doing is awful. They are banning people for no reason. In my case I got banned for nothing because the worst message I sent was “hey cutie”. My roommate got banned even though he didn’t message ANYONE. When I went online I saw that this problem was prolific and everywhere. They ban people for absolutely no reason and without any proof. If they receive one report, you’re done. So theoretically, a guy, who doesn’t have a good chance with the ladies, can lower the dating pool by making a fake account and reporting any dude they find to be more attractive than them. And when you try to email tinder about the situation, you get an automated reply and ZERO help at all. The email they sent me said “we do not check for what you did and we do not unban or review accounts.” This type of practice from Tinder is illogical and sexist. And it will eventually lead to the demise of this app. I cannot wait to see this app be removed from the App Store.

Another day, another useless ban. Hi, yes, hello, I am one of the many users who have been banned for absolutely no discernible reason without warning! And with the ban being pretty much permanent (as Tinder has no appeals process at the moment), I gotta say, sounds like a pretty good way to decrease user count when I think the success of an app probably depends greatly on having many satisfied people using your app? I hope developers are considering this and are AT LEAST trying to implement a formal appeals process. Even an e-mail explaining what particularly caused the ban would be better than the nothing myself and others have received. I would have liked a chance to at least address what it was Tinder thinks I’m doing wrong. This is a pretty big deterrent from my wanting to use the app again in the future when possible or recommend it to others. Other than almost constant crashing (and the ban of course), I found the simplicity and easy use of Tinder appealing. No big complaints on that end, but with this inexplicable ban rendering my account unusable from now on, you guys are getting one star from me until you can figure out a way for users who weren’t violating TOS or community guidelines to get their accounts back.

Too buggy for all the money they take in. I’m not going to list the myriad reasons why tinder is a sub par service, just the app itself. The app is built to constantly market boost and super like purchases to customers and it’s incredibly annoying. Almost every other time you tap through someones profile you get a large pop up prompt asking you to super like them, which always blocks out location information. Same with liking popular users. In my opinion, a premium paying user shouldn’t be constantly inundated with pop ups trying to siphon more money out of them. There’s also issues with matching/chat functionality. Likes and messages are regularly dropped, which leads to situations where you think somebody is ignoring you but they just never even got your message. I’ve had a couple chats just get deleted wholesale as well. For the amount of money this app takes in, it should be much more polished and reliable. That being said I’ve gotten a couple decent hookups over the past month so I can’t completely hate it. Just be ready to deal with some frustrating bugs if you’re going to jump in

Probably not worth it.. I’ve used this app a little...but once I felt brave enough to put myself out there, I uploaded all decent pictures that contained no lewdness at all and filled out basically everything I could think of on the profile (contained no vulgarity either). Experience was going okay for just a little bit, but as soon as I begin seeing I apparently had some likes on my profile one day then I’m locked out of the app/my profile and told I’ve been banned. No explanation or anything from the support team or anything like an email, nothing. I’ve asked many times to have my account reviewed so they can see nothing was wrong with my profile or the messages but they just kept stating that “you’ve been banned for violating our terms”. So, here I am still single and unable to use what I thought was a good app because Tinder felt I violated the app by casually using the app like most people would? Like I said, my profile contained no vulgar images or words or anything like that nor did the few rare messages I got to send. So I’m confused and upset with my experience. If you’re thinking about spending money on the app, reconsider as they might just ban you for no reason as well.

Tinder’s Downfall. I’ve had Tinder off and on for years, and have even bought Gold on several occasions. Never really had any issues until 2 weeks ago. App became very glitchy and I was unable to use any of my features. Reached out to support after trouble shooting and received a response saying they have escalated the ticket. Two weeks later and I add additional comments to the ticket with no word back. I received the same automated response about the ticket being escalated.. now they’ve reached out saying I’ve been banned and am unable to use Tinder moving forward (no other explanation). I saw this coming- that what all the reviews have been saying for weeks, but it’s still baffling. I know I haven’t violated TOS. To think I still have “Gold” features on my account for the duration of the month but no way of using the app is sleazy. The old Tinder was better. The company’s really milked this app for all it’s worth and ruined their community for greed. Tinder really should be rewarding the user base for keeping alive an app that’s really scraping the bottom of the barrel with what it offers and the people they allow on it instead of hitting everyone with random BANS. Good riddance.

I got banned for no reason. I had the app for about a year, deleted my account and started over once during that year. I never posted nor sent any inappropriate pictures, there was nothing vulgar on my page, just a couple of profile pics and like one or two sentences in my bio. I’m reading a lot of reviews of this happening to other people. I get that technical issues happen, and sometimes they even happen on a larger scale, but what really upsets me is seeing that Tinder has not responded to not a single review regarding this issue and I’ve even seen reviews where they’ve tried to email Tinder and received messages back saying they will not accept appeals nor offer any other options to get this issue fixed. Needless to say, I won’t be using this app anymore... one reason being that I’ve been banned for no reason whatsoever, but even if they fixed the issue by some miracle, since they don’t seem to like to do that, I probably still wouldn’t use it because who the heck treats its customers like that??? Yet they can respond to reviews regarding money! LOL! I had a subscription to mine for at least half the time I had this app, but why’s it gotta just be about the money?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

This app doesn’t care about you. I have been on this app since the beginning and I’ve had mild success. But as the years have gone by, what’s allowed on this app is despicable. Multiple accounts of the same spam bots, people using to promote illicit content, and other things that tinder “claims” is against their terms and guidelines. To my surprise I found myself banned. I have never once used this app to cause harm to anyone i have met through it, but I have matched with quite a few people intent on harming me online through other platforms. After spending all day trying to show clear snapshots of messages and reports that I was being banned because I had reported them spreading harmful information about me on other platforms, I was given the same response. There’s no call number, it took ten minutes ten find a place to send an appeal contact, after after all of that i am still banned from this app. This app does not care about users to truly want to find partners or any other consensual interactions with other users. It’s purely a sham and a waste of time. I hope they get a team to start going through ban reports because this has proven to be the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

Horrible experiences. I’ve had two horrible experiences with Tinder, needless to say they need to do better. Privacy was a huge issue in one of the insistences (Do Not add where you go to school!!!). Some random person on Tinder had included my name in a list and given my city’s school system suggesting that I may have sold someone’s pictures online and almost got expelled from undergrad without tinder doing proper investigations. Thankfully my school did and I’m assuming I was not found guilty of the accusations as I didn’t get expelled. Furthermore, my partner and I wanted to find a third consistent partner as that is the lifestyle we wish to live and have the right to do so. I’m assuming that tinder frowned upon this as both of our accounts were banned without the possibility of recreating an account to simply find friends or a connection individually. It would have been great to get a warning before being banned. We weren’t hurting anyone on the app, many people were willing to connect with us and had no issues. Why don’t you ban all of the creeps from the app who aren’t respectful? So disappointed… I was hoping to recreate an account to make new friends as I recently moved. Think it’s time to move on!

The worst dating app imo. I’ve deleted and reinstalled this app a few times and the experience is always the same. When you first create a profile, it shows you to a bunch of people at once and you get a ton of likes in a suspiciously short amount of time. You can spend months swiping and will never get the chance to match with these initial likes and you won’t see them unless you pay for a premium subscription. When you do, you discover that the likes you got were either scammers, people not in your area, or people you wouldn’t have matched with anyway. On top of that, after you get gold and can see your likes, they completely stop coming in. This is their opportunity to sell you the boosts so that you can be seen again. The whole thing is precisely designed to siphon money from lonely men and just feels gross. Now, in fairness, I have a couple friends who seem to have a little success on Tinder, which is why I keep getting suckered into giving it another shot, but for me, it has proven the most expensive and least fruitful of all the dating apps I’ve tried. I have managed to get dates from Hinge, Bumble and CMB without paying a dime and not one from Tinder after $90, so my suggestion would be to try any of those.

Allows users to abuse report button. This app is terrible and doesn’t protect people of the trans and non-binary experience! Someone can report you out of spite and they will ban you with no questions asked and not chance of appeal. Literally had a guy who is downlow, that came at me sexually(who knew Im non-binary with it clearly stated in my bio) and I didn’t give him any engagement, report that I was underage (I’m 30) and they banned me WHEN I DID NOTHING WEONG OR BREAK COMMUNITY GUIDELINES and when trying to appeal with customer service via email, I was told I have to send my PERSONAL I.D to a third party that’s not identified or known! I’m not sending a photo of my ID to a party I don’t know! for them to do who knows what with it! Tinder ban system is TRASH and bans individuals off baseless reports and doesn’t have a functioning appeal system! I have half a mind to seek legal action simply because of the unfair treatment of people of the trans and nonbinary experience by guys that have self entitlement thinking we owe them conversation and if we don’t, the consequences is being reported with the confidence we will get banned because of tinders lack of report filtering! I would advise users to stir clear from this app! You get reported, your banned with no questions asked!

Tinder needs an appeals process ASAP-Banned for no reason. I have been using tinder for years with no problem , and in the last week i decided to delete my account and make a new one so it could be refreshed. I feel like i was not getting as many likes or matches are i could. So i did that. I create my profile and everything is fine, then i go to sleep and wake up this morning to my account being banned for no reason. I didn’t do anything vulgar or post and bad pictures. My bio was not bad. And simply stated that I’m from London. I didn’t do anything to anyone. Had no conversations on this new account and It had been less than one day. If i can’t get my account back, I’ll have to leave a negative review unfortunately because I’ve seen countless other examples of people who have done nothing getting banned for no reason. And the fact that you come down so hard over nothing, and don’t provide an appeals process, is deplorable. Hopefully I will be able to get my account back as this app is something i enjoy Using to meet new people and there are not really any alternatives to it that i like. This review doesn’t take into account the sometimes shoddy algorithm when using the app, but that’s neither here nor there. FIX UP TINDER

Banned randomly-no help. I created an account. Added like 5 pics of me alone, one with a very covering bathing suit top. Added a few tags. Then just put “polyamorous” as my “about me “ section as a placeholder until I could come up with more to say about myself. Then I swiped some. I looked at tons of profiles. Some for many minutes because I was on the phone on a call as well. I got a few matches. Then the app said I didn’t have any swipes left. And I hung around on the app trying to swipe more, looking at the plans that it offered and just around the app. Then it randomly popped up that I needed a photo verification. And I assumed it was because I swiped too fast and it thought I was a bot or something. So I took the pics in the positions. I was in a car with the inside lights on-so not the best lighting. Eventually the screen that was blocking me from using the app and processing the verified went away. And I looked at the app for another minute. But then it blocked out my screen and told me I was banned. I’ve reached out to support and they have basically said they can’t do anything. Like?????? You can’t review my profile? And see my activity??? You can’t see if it violated guidelines??? You can’t even look??? Absolutely unacceptable

Tinder Needs to Up Their Game. I made a Tinder account back in 2018 when I was legally old enough to do so to try it out. All my friends were doing it, and I thought why not. Fast forward probably three or four weeks, after I’ve experienced several issues staying logged in to my account. I open the app, and it tells me I’ve been banned. There is no reasoning given to me for why, just the general explanation that I may have violated terms of service or community guidelines. I didn’t. The ban was random. Since then, I’ve emailed a few times over the last two years just to try and clear up the issue. As of December 2020, however, there is still no appeals process, and after getting an email that your request will be reviewed, almost immediately you get another generic response from the “Support” team that there isn’t an appeals process and that your request is resolved. That isn’t customer service at all, that’s just telling for the company that they have no interest in helping resolve cases of accidental bans (because I am not the first nor the last to have this happen to them) and communicate with the customer in general. Very disappointed that this continues to happen.

Terrible treatment. Over quarantine I was casually swiping through tinder and matching with people to talk to and possibly go out with as soon as restrictions eased up. To my surprise one day I tried to log in and got told I was banned. I never posted any photos or anything in my bio that went against the guidelines. I also tried to keep my conversations with others on there clean and avoided any words that weren’t appropriate. I did update my bio the day before to say that if people didn’t support BLM to swipe left (since there unfortunately a lot of men I met on there that didn’t). I was given no warnings. I have no idea why I was banned and when I messaged the help center to ask why I was, their response was that they didn’t accept appeals and wouldn’t unban me. When I pressed further to ask why I had been, they wouldn’t even respond to me. Terrible customer service. At this point I have to assume I got banned for expressing my political views on there. Though I keep reading a bunch of other reviews of people who have had a similar experience to me. Yet Tinder still doesn’t have an appeals process for these instances? Tinder needs to do better. People should not be treated this way.

Verified members fake! Nickel and dime u. They’ve got a new scam going. verified members. this time I was a 54 year old man matching with attractive 32 &33 yr olds. also note, these women matched me at almost the same moment I joined. These women used complete sentences and proper grammar, unlike any American girl that age. I have several screenshots on. The questions were also of the same nature; how long you been on and what u do. I think one reported me when I told her that only a bot would match some 50 year old man. NOW THAT ph # is BANNED. Maybe good news that the CEO is out the door, stocks been tanking. as a shareholder, Iam happy they nickel and dime customers. I wrote that in my profile, then stated, that I was very grateful to all the suckers willing to pay for various fees. Got Banned the 1st time. There is one fee to be gold, another fee to do super likes, then another fee to get boosted, so women don’t have to flip through 500 profiles to find you I assume that could be a sham. The customer service is horrible iall I keep getting is emails from drone to tell me I violated customer service. Can’t get an answer out of them. Hopefully this doesn’t get read by too many people. I enjoy it when you pay.

Randomly Banned?. Another typical story of being randomly banned. Haven’t opened the app in a while, decided to hop on and try to meet some ppl. After a bit of swiping, I get off the app and do other things. I check in abt 10 hours later, no changes/likes/matches. Cool, guess I go do smth else? Fast forward 30 minutes where I’m bored again and I open the app to see that I’ve been banned. My profile is exactly the same as it was 2 years ago (when I was a lot more active on tinder and using it rather frequently) and I didn’t even msg anyone after reinstalling, so what gives? I went through all the community guidelines as terms of service as well and couldn’t find anything that I could have possibly done to break a rule. If the app at least allowed appeals and told me what I’d supposedly done wrong then fine, but it’s nearly impossible to contact any non-automated customer service and they refuse to tell you why you’ve been banned even if you do manage to somehow receive a human response. Not to mention practically everything in the app is paywalled now, and tinder clearly doesn’t care about user experience as they’ve responded to zero of the negative reviews. I’m amazed their rating is even still above 3stars.

Banned for no reason. I’ve used tinder frequently throughout the years. I have always been appropriate with how I approach my matches. Recently, I had re-signed up for tinder after deleting the app from a few months ago. When I downloaded the app I bought tinders gold feature. After a week or so of using the app I was prompted to get photo verified and I submitted my picture then. After waiting an entire day of not being able to access the app because my photo was still under review I sent their customer support an email message about the issue. Later the same day, i still had received no response back but was able to again access the app. A day later I was prompted that my account was banned. Between getting photo verified and being banned I messaged zero people and before that I had not in weeks if at all after my initial download of the app. I tried to reach out to their customer service via phone and I received busy signals, I reached out again using email and have not gotten a response. This was an extremely frustrating situation that do not completely understand myself but I have moved on from it. This review is to state my experience so that viewers are aware of the risk they take by just using the app.

Okay listen,. I downloaded this app what I turned 18 because that’s what you do when you are a lonely 18 year old. I used it for about a year with not much luck and then at 19 I found someone. On the second month of consistently seeing this girl, I thought “yeah I’ll never need tinder again” so instead of deleting it, I turned it into a game with this girl. We made an account for Daddy Vader. Yes you heard that correctly. We used Daddy instead of Darth. The force choke and I am your father jokes were hilarious. We got a lot of matches the first day, had our fun talking with people and within 24 hours got banned. I really didn’t care at the time because I was happily cuffed but now I’ve been single for a year and a half with really only bumble to meet new people. Even though I’m an attractive fella, most girls don’t talk first, so a lot of the few matches I get as a guy go right down the drain. I’ve tried emailing tinder about getting back on to seriously date but there has been no response. Honestly I don’t NEED to get back on tinder, but I really do need to meet new people and having this option back would be a big help. All in all, great app. But they really should make themselves more reachable customer service-wise.

worst dating app experience - scarred. this has been the worst and most heartbreaking experience I’ve ever had with an app or a service. My account was banned out of the blue, with no warning or indication what I did to violate the policies. I’ve reached out multiple times to support and just been flatly told that there is no appeals process and no way that they will tell me I did to be banned. Aside from this being a completely humiliating, violating and and frustrating experience, I’ve received so many times graphic violent and sexual messages from men on this app and had my reports be dismissed and never taken seriously. I have always conducted myself as respectful and more conservative and I’m literally speechless as to what happened to have led to this outcome. On top of everything, my phone is still receiving notifications from the app of new messages and new matches clearly indicating that my profile is still up and active, I’m just blocked from accessing it. This is literally a scam platform, keeping up profiles to look like their user base is much larger while blocking people and refusing to provide a semblance of customer support for someone who even paid for tinder gold at the time I was blocked and additionally was not refunded.

Can’t make an account. I attempted to make an account prior to being 18 and I used my real birth date, and as expected I wasn’t allowed to use the service (silly me right?). So I come back when I turn 18 and I am still denied the right to use the app; “that’s okay” I thought “everyone makes mistakes. They could have made one too!” so I thought. I submit my ID, and now I am denied access to the platform even though I am 18 and have a valid ID? I emailed the “customer support” (not much help btw), and was told I “violated the terms or service” with no explanation. Not sure which term I violated? I guess they don’t get paid enough to tell you what you did wrong, only enough to tell you you’ve done wrong with no explanation (even when they decision is backed by no fallible evidence). I’m starting to think this company just rolls a dice when they let people join. I know plenty of 14-17 y/o’s on the platform with no trouble, but they somehow follow the “guidelines”. It’s embarrassing for a company to be so lazy and downright negligent when it comes to enforcing rules and paying employees to enforce them. Would not recommend, just go out and talk to people for real, it’s better for you anyways.

Not real. I’ve been using it for a while but I noticed that you will have a rush of likes in 1 or 2 weeks. But after that everything gets slow down. Even if you had tinder gold plus but it’s still the same. Most of the time it’s like someone liked me on the tinder like 3 to 4 people in a day but when I opened the app and there is no likes. What I’m thinking that they might like me or swiped me right but you guys are trying to take it off from me. Like giving me false hope and there is no likes. Who knows? Because maybe you want me to continuously use your plus membership monthly. No, but people should know if this is what you’re doing to them. And what is happening with me also happening to them, means I’m not wrong. Also I swiped everyone for 2 weeks like literally everyone. Yet not like back. At least one. Only one could like me back. But no one did. It doesn’t mean I may not look someone according to their interest. It also can mean that you took my every likes from them that they don’t know if I liked them or no. If this is how a business runs to take out the likes and make people keep using continuously the membership, then it’s the foulest thing that I ever seen.

Matches are rigged. First night on the app I quickly got two attractive matches to my surprise. I begin to have a great conversation with one of them, but for seemingly no reason and completely out of nowhere, the match and conversation disappeared, along with the second match which I had not even messaged yet. Neither of them could be found anywhere, and I have no idea why this happened. I know for a fact that I never said anything even vaguely inappropriate or offensive, so there was no reason for the one match to un-match with me. Ever since then I have not had more than two matches show up in the tab, despite buying plus, despite boosting, despite receiving notifications about new matches, and despite even trying to swipe right on everyone. Radio silence as far as I can tell. Tinder is at least kind enough to tell me that I have more likes I can view and match with if I buy Gold for $29/mo. No thanks. This app is rigged and will only give us crumbs compared to what we’re actually worth just so they can make more money off of our search for connection. I’ll be deleting after this pay period unless Tinder can show us that they’re really trying to be transparent in our dating interests.

By far the worst / trashiest app with worse customer service than Walmart. I've been paying for Tinder Gold for months now, and have always battled between wanting to delete the app or keeping it in "hopes" I'd meet someone with some substance. Is it easy to pull someone from it? For sure. However you're much more likely to match with scammers (that have tried to blackmail me for $5k) or fake accounts "promoting" their Snapchat premium accounts. Upon attempting to report these accounts, they stay up, and even attempting to notify tinder about them they never seem to care (typical). Now I've been banned from tinder (with my subscription just now charging me) for no reason, whereas I unfortunately had to stand up a girl at 10pm somewhere because I couldn't contact her. The app froze on my phone, so in order to get in touch with this young lady, I attempted to log into my account from my friend's phone. Upon doing the text verification , it logged me out then when my app unfroze, said I was banned. I attempted to write tinder about it, but only received an automated "screw you" type email. Absolutely pathetic. Especially when they advertise to "be more than a dating app." They made it very easy to make the decision to delete the trashy app.

Worst Customer Service. First off let me start by saying, what an absolute joke this app and company is. I dropped a hefty amount to just have a subscription and then bought a few boosts as well because why not? Everything was going great until I woke up one morning and was literally just randomly banned. I hadn’t initiated in conversations in 2 or so days, and there was not a SINGLE thing on my account or in my bio that would ever get someone banned. In fact, I actually had a pretty boring account lol. When I went to appeal because obviously accidents happen, I found out there is no appeal process. Red flag number 1. Concerned, I emailed their “support team” just to get a run around and pretty much them telling they couldn’t do anything. Red flag number 2. Lastly, when I simply asked for my money back if they literally cannot provide the reason why I was banned, they responded with “ Your account has been banned for violations of our Terms of Use or Community Guidelines, which we take very seriously. We are unable to provide further assistance, and so we may not respond to additional requests about this case. What. A. Joke. Never would recommend this app to ANYONE! They just take your money and run, without ANY valid reason.

Bans for no reason and won’t let you appeal!. i’ve had tinder for awhile on and off. i recently decided to give it another go. i deleted my old account so i could start fresh. i made a new account and i guess they started a new verification system. it lagged and would not let me get though no matter how many times i tried. i did it 100+ times and wouldn’t work. just kept saying completed and would make me do it over again. i contacted support about the problem and they were no help at all! they said there was nothing they could do. well i tried again after a whole month of not letting me on! it finally worked and then as soon as i got on tinder flagged my account. probably because i had to go through verification so many times. then they notified me i was permanently banned! so i tried to message support explaining i did nothing wrong and i hadn’t even got to swipe on one person on the account. they kept saying i violated the guidelines (which i looked at and i didn’t violate any of them!) they refuse to give me back my account! which is such crap! i even offered to send them my personal ID to prove i am who i say i am. they are no help and refuse saying they don’t have an appeal process.🙄

Sad that dating has come to this.. They created a decent app (not without its problems) and sue to recent global happenings dating has become extremely reliant on online apps. Then without question or any form of appeal or at minimum a discussion they can block you from any type of online dating… yes I understand there are other options… but when the parent company owns the top 10 dating apps you get blocked from all of them. And they give you the run around with zero help or process to help. And how convenient they banned me 1 week after they renewed my membership (which continues to go up in price every few months.) And even worse they choose to ban people randomly without warning or anything… while anybody that’s spent more than 3 minutes on the app knows the vitriol on here but nothing is done about that… the amount of people using it just to promote paying for sex, only fans, or scam fake accounts… but they randomly ban people without warning or any explanation is baffling. Sad state of affairs that everything has become. I guess I should thank Tinder for allowing me that 1-2 hours back I’ve been wasting using their app. Tinder single handedly by poor management will bring back in person dating.

I paid $120 for tinder platinum, not one date. I’m a cute guy, I’m fit, I’m fun, and I’m super respectful. I just don’t like be rejected in person, so online dating seem like a good fit. But everything tinder advertises is a lie (for men). In a nutshell, it’s manipulative, it’s buggy, but most of all it just doesn’t work. The app will not push you out, even if you pay, and even if they did, the female to male ratios is said to be 1:9 to 1:15, but if you think about how many accounts are bots, or scams, the ratios are significantly worst, 1:50 seems like an exaggeration, but from my perspective it’s being generous. And that’s what makes the platform not work. It’s artificially inflated, bloat. I’ve used all the features, and in theory a lot of them are awesome, but they all don’t make you any more successful in finding a date because of those ratios. If you go to the clubs, at least your ratios are 1:1, I’ve grown as a person over the year, and I’ve had more success on 1 night at the clubs then my entire experience using tinder. So go to the clubs, just treat the women like people, not meat. Don’t trust the dating apps, anything else is a better use of your time and money, if you are a guy.

Paid Subscriber Banned for no reason. I was a paid subscriber at the highest platinum level cost. My profile was clean, respectful, simple and wholesome. Within 4 hours of signing up and paying the high subscription fee, I was banned. No explanation or warning. Now I am in a battle to get my money back for the 4 hours I got use the service. In the 4 hours I learned that most profiles are couples looking for hookups with single girls. I learned that you are shown profiles no where near you. I learned that profile types that you exclude in your setting, are still shown to you. Tinder is failing as a platform and as a business model. Now I know why I never hear anyone talk about their latest tinder date. It’s because you can’t actually find anyone on tinder. It’s become a time warning swipe app. No one on the app actually pays for the service, so it’s impossible to match with a true person of interest. Search the internet and all you find is negative stories about the service tinder provides. Tons of comments on getting banned. Don’t waste your time, there are better dating apps out there! How can Apple allow this app to stay on its service? They must get tired of the refund request after everyone getting banned.

I have a very serious complaint.. After years of having a tinder account and speaking only positive things of it, I have been banned wrongfully. I know exactly what got me banned. My account name was Boom. I had in my bio, "Who needs pickup lines? Try and roast me instead. Just know that I'll roast back." Now, the word "roast" in this context, by definition, means, "subject to GOOD-NATURED ridicule." Now I matched with a woman who went by the name of Echo. Echo tried to roast me by asking if I was either a "men's rights activist" or "really into anime." I proceeded to ask if that was a roast, to which she assured me it was. SHE THEN ASKED ME TO ROAST HER BACK. I then said she looked like Roz from Monsters Inc, which again, is a GOOD-NATURED roast. If I thought she was a young lady that didn't appeal to me, then I wouldn't have swiped right in the first place. Obviously, this means that it was a light-hearted, good-natured comment, but one that Echo took as an insult to her very being. She then proceeded to talk about how she was comparing me to "Nazis" and a "porn freak." Those comments sound a lot harsher than me comparing her to a fictional character. Why I was the one being banned for this is beyond me, but in this situation, I feel like I have been wrongfully banned, when what I said wasn't nearly as bad as what she said. Please review the conversation again.

They never fix ANYTHING. I’ve had the app for about 4 years now through college, and it’s been buggy since the first day i downloaded it. Will constantly crash, and it doesn’t seem they ever fix it. Currently i get profiles that say they’ve super liked me, but then after a right swipe, no match. This is just the beginning of the never ending bug cycle. But don’t worry about the bugs, they’ve already hatched up their new and improved membership plans! 🙄 Also good luck getting matches because, like I said the app never works properly. I’ve had a couple of successful meetups from the app, but they come in spurts. App is filled with mostly bot profiles and females who are “just looking for friends” or promoting IG and use Tinder as a power trip or confidence booster instead of its intended purposes. Also I’ve tested a theory a few times, and Tinder is just extremely inconsistent with its algorithm. One time I can have over 100 matches in a few months, and another time I’ll struggle to get 5 matches. Sadly still probably the best dating app there is, which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1, but you’d think in 2021 we could do better.

ID Upload Issues. I know this may be a regional requirement, but requiring an ID to communicate is both a good and bad idea. It’s good to verify the age of a user to keep minors and adults from interacting. Scanning in that much personally identifiable information is something that doesn’t sit well with me, however. What happens to the scans at Tinder? In spite of this I uploaded my info to be able to communicate, and in thirty plus attempts to scan it in, it was not accepted once. Everything was in the lines, and in focus but turned down each time. Additionally, the prompt for this pulled me out of the app and into my browser. Don’t know if this was the reason or not for it not working, but either way it never worked. Without this, I couldn’t talk to matches because the scan isn’t accepted. On top of this, I was paying for the subscription, which I don’t like in the first place, but it is what it is. After about three weeks of hoping this would be sorted in an update, two weeks of which I had matches I couldn’t even communicate with, I decided enough is enough and deleted my account for the final time. Don’t think I’ll be reenrolling, and can’t recommend this app to others.

Keep trying Tinder. While Tender is free, the free feature is littered with scammers and bots that pretend to make the app seem like more than it is…it clearly isn’t. It’s feels like they’re trying to punish users who don’t pay for any of their overpriced services by feeding them bots, (employees who try and rip off customers who are using the free feature), and con artists who try to lead people away from Tender into some other scam or featured platform that doesn’t lead to a meeting. Having said that, I do meet new users who genuinely want to meet another living person. Sadly, it is becoming increasingly difficult to actually encounter a real person who also is really interested in meeting up. I don’t see how this is supposed to encourage people to become paying customers. What happened to the Tender from 12 years ago? When you could find company for the evening on the same evening you were looking…sheesh! Now you have to delete the app and reinstall it again just to get a new load of bots and profiles to sift through that are actually in your location…I’m thinking Tender actually died a long time ago and this is just the internet remnants of the original idea.

One of the glitchiest apps I have ever used. I literally NEVER write reviews for apps, I don’t really care that much, but I’ve hit my breaking point with Tinder. I love this app, I’ve been using it for a few years and I’ve met some really cool people. But lately, this app has become completely unusable for me. Every time I try and type a message to someone, my typing lags and then whatever I wrote will randomly pop up 5-10 seconds later. Every time I get a message notification, Tinder won’t show it to me and I have to literally delete the app and redownload it in order to read what someone said to me. It’s like every time I try to use this app, something glitches and it makes my experience horrible. I was able to handle the overwhelming lagginess for a while, but now that I can’t even read a message without having to delete and redownload feels completely unacceptable from an app this widely used. And it isn’t an issue with my phone since I got a new one recently and it’s STILL happening. I think I’ve finally hit my breaking point with this app, I had a great few years but I don’t think I will be going back until it gets patched and works like a 2021 app instead of a flash website from 2005.

You aren’t getting what you paid for!. Not sure why I’m paying for a service when you’re constantly being asked to pay to access new features. Without question, every time you log in the first swipe you are prompted with a message that says “upgrade your swipe with a super swipe” STOP TRYING TO GET ME TO WASTE MY RESERVES ON SOMEONE THATS POSSIBLY A FAKE ACCOUNT. Along with that just about every account here is a bot (sending links, or telling you to go to a website for premium content). I deleted my account restored my purchase and the same thing occurs. Im only matching with fake accounts. Continuing, what’s with the demographics of this app? There is no diversity? 90% of the profiles does not reflect the city I live in and this city has a melting pot of people, WHERE ARE THEY? Although I have the “Global” feature turned off, why I am I seeing accounts from 3k+ miles away If I have that feature turned on, it should be applied for people also using the passport feature, the same way you lock out accounts for the Gold and Platinum features.I understand you gotta make money so you allow this to continue but leave that crap to the non paying accounts!

Banned for no reason. How am I supposed to address any of my main concerns if I have no way to contact support by email or phone? My account got banned a few months ago and I can’t think of any reason why i got banned. I have other people telling me that my account is still active, but I can no longer access it. So for all I know, someone is out there pretending to be me with all my pics & personal info. I get banned on there, but you guys can’t even close the account? Also, I’m seen a lot of unsolicited private pics from a few accounts that are still active and don’t get banned. Make it make sense. Tinder definitely doesn’t have our best interests if we can get banned for no reason and they still have accounts like that there are still active. The support is terrible. Something needs to change. I’ve used tinder for years and I’m super upset on how things are being handled. I can no longer create new profiles or have any access to my old accounts that I wish to be deleted. How are you gona claim that you want to have a safe plate form, yet allow things like that to happen? You guys really need to work on bettering your support system or you need to be shut down.

Super glitchy. I have had this app for years now. In the past year or two, it has become very glitchy. It takes forever to load conversations that I am trying to have real time, when opening the app via notification, it makes it even slower, it freezes from time to time forcing me to close the app and try again, the keyboard glitches out, and more. It makes trying to have a continuous conversation very hard. On top of that, a recent update with the option to allow video calls has made conversation hard. After a couple back and forth messages, a pop up will appear at the bottom of the screen, covering about 1/3 of the screen. It asks if you are fine with video calls with that specific person. I like that it seeks consent. The only way to get rid of the giant pop up is agreeing or disagreeing. When you open the keyboard with the pop up still there, it just moves up, covering your conversation. I used to like the app. But in the past year or so, it has gone downhill. The only reason I keep it is because it is the most commonly used app, meaning more chances of swiping. Otherwise, it’s not worth a lot of the effort the app forces on you.

Glitched for two days, then banned out of nowhere.. I’ve had Tinder Gold for a couple of years now. I took myself out of the stack about a month ago, and came back over the weekend. It resumed without a hitch until Tuesday. I found that my matches and messages were fluctuating, and that it stopped showing profiles in areas either at home or where I work. I just assumed the servers were slow/lagging. I got home from work tonight, and I started to see profiles again. I thought things were back up and running again. I hop on about an hour later and bam, I’m banned. From what I’ve read on my app and trying to log in on the computer, I’ve all of a sudden violated their terms of service somehow. It’s not like I can get a hold of anyone, as their emails are electronically responded to by bots, and after reading through some of these reviews, their App Store responses are the same. I’ve canceled my subscription which was coming up for renewal at the end of the month, so I suppose timing couldn’t have been better for me. Between this, the increasingly fake(snap, insta follows, sugar babies, cashapp/Venmo requesting) profiles, and the clear dead end when it comes bans and customer service/support, it’s been eye opening for sure. Best of luck everyone.

Banned for no reason. Hopped on this app the other day to discover that I had been banned for “violating their terms and conditions”. I’ve used the app on and off for years so figured their had been some mistake so I reached out to them to file an appeal. The appeal process doesn’t exist they simply will tell you they are not accepting appeals at the time and will not provide you with any information on why you have been banned besides vaguely stating that you have violated the terms and conditions. If you look through the reviews on this app you’ll find that it’s a pretty common problem that they will ban your account for seemingly no reason. Honestly, what bugs me isn’t the fact that I’m banned from Tinder I hardly even use Tinder. I use Hinge mainly, however since I was banned in Tinder, Hinge received this information and decided to ban me from their app as well. So because of Tinder wrongly banning me I’ve now been banned from this app and the app I actually want to use (Hinge) with seemly no way to fix it. The whole process is messed up and needs to be fix you shouldn’t be able to just ban anyone you please without any way fix the problem (if it was wrongly done) or any justification given on why you were banned.

I hope the developers see this. So I want to start off by saying, I had high hope for this app. Unfortunately, this is app has a lot of bugs and flaws. In the beginning I had several matches and I was like okay, this is getting really good. I started to have a conversation with a couple of the girls and I was getting ready to exchange numbers and all that. Then all of the sudden, there is no responds, I kept getting a few other matches after that and I would say something and I would get no response. So, today, someone hacked my account and I had to reset everything all over. I was like okay, fine. I started getting a lot of likes and I noticed that there was a green dot on right corner in my screen that indicated that I am online. I got a match and I started having a conversation with girl. After a couple of messages, I got no respond and then the green dot that was in the right corner of my screen vanished. I realized that this is a bug in the app. I am still receiving match’s but my messages does not go through. I want to say that this app is a money grab and I was very disappointed that I wasted my money on this app. I had high hopes but this will probably be the last month that I will subscribe tinder gold.

Im banned :(. So I’d like to think im pretty good about following guidelines. Now I understand that this is my fault, but I jokingly told a guy I was 15. I planned to tell the guy the truth, but I went to sleep with no response to the message. The next day I get on and I am banned! I tried to contact tinder to explain that I was in fact a legal adult, and even sent a front and back photo i.d. But, it was too late, and they had told me that I would stay banned from the app permanently. I wish tinder would lock your account to verify age and identity, instead of completely banning you. Many of my friends have been banned off tinder for reasons they aren’t even sure of. I am certain that there was no other reason for my ban, and I really enjoy tinder and the concept of the app. It is really upsetting. Im not trying to warn people off the app, or trying to get myself unbanned. But im just mostly trying to maybe propose that you guys give warnings, or second chances for people that are being banned for identity or age concerns. I really don’t think I actually committed any violations.

Waste of money. Hinge or Bumble is better.. I hope the developers read this. I pay for Tinder Gold ($30/month, I will be unsubscribing soon). This is most expensive “paid” version of this app. I regularly “match” with paid advertisements who look like young single women. These are Paid advertisements facilitated / sold by Tinder. Should a paying “gold” user be getting hit with adds? No. Additionally, I regularly match/see women who are all 80-99 miles away. I have my radius set to 40 miles. I’m not interested in matching with someone who lives two states and a three hour drive away. Also, about 10-20% of the female profiles on Finder are fake/scammers who immediately want you to add some obscure social media account name that doesn’t match their Tinder name or picture. The app also crashes frequently (yes, it’s fully updated). If you’re looking to spend money on a dating app, you’d be better off spending money on Hinge or Bumble. Use the free version if Tinder if you like, but they don’t deserve your money. Also, I have heard from other people who are seemingly arbitrarily banned without any way to challenge or contest the ban. I guess that you can’t be accused of having terrible customer service if you don’t have any customer service to begin with...

Full of fake profiles, at least 90%!!! Scammers & prostitutes from out of your country!. Is overrun with scammers now. Most of the messages I get are from women that cannot properly write in English, and my settings are set to just 5 miles from Los Angeles, ha ha. My parameters are very specific, but I still get girls from all over the country, using the same profile pictures, and the same ridiculous nonsensical opening remark. I finally started reporting them, pretty time-consuming. But as you know, as soon as you see a picture, you can tell if someone is on the other side of the world. Or you will start to see dozens and dozens of profiles using the same girl, ha ha. So, when I say local to LA, and it says they live in “California,“ I know they are fake. When locals in Los Angeles put their location, they do not write California, ha ha. Anyway, I thought it might backfire, reporting so many people. And it did! I went to look around yesterday, thought I would try again, come to find out I have been banned from the site. Never said anything inappropriate, just looking for a nice local girl. But I guess they don’t want regular local people on there. They must be making money from the scammers. Tinder is a joke!!!
