GARBAGE APP

This app is absolute GARBAGE - most of the profiles are FAKE - most of the profiles are from another Country pretending to be local to where you are. Also as with most apps you can have a bunch of matches but you have to pay to see them. Pick a better app this is a waste of your time.

What an awful app

What an awful app. I joined it and found it useless with suspicious profiles that didn't appear natural. Secondly, they make it difficult for you to delete the profile. It is a maze. It could be more user-friendly. Most apps have a simple process for deleting the app. Not Happn, they deliberately make it hard for you to delete the profile by making it complex. Pathetic. Thirdly, when I finally deleted and uninstalled it a week later, they told me (via email) that I had six views of my profile in one day. I was so annoyed as the app was deleted. I contacted support, who emailed me back and told me they do not respond to emails, but I should log into the app to communicate. Of course, I refuse to reinstall the app to do this. I refuse to be forced to do that. If they continue to harass me and advertise my profile falsely, I will see what action can be taken for them to have my images unauthorised.

Complete waste of time

Complete waste of time. You will have so many bots after you that you will waste so much time determining what they are you could have matched with a dozen ladies on any other dating site.

This site is a complete scam. Wish I read the reviews before jumping at the 50 percent off for a month. Just to find the 3 matches it said I had which were bots. But if you came here first, don’t even pay a dollar or even waste any valuable time. You will spend weeks to find one legitimate person in all the bots. As I said you could have 10 times that many on any other site as I have like bumble , match, tinder, even Pof is better which says a lot. I may call Apple and report a scam and see if I can get my 15 back just in spite of them.

Mostly fake profiles

Happn used to have a fair number of real people looking meet. But over the past year or two it has been overtaken with fake profiles and scammers so that they make up the vast majority, more than any other dating app. I have contacted Support about this and they deny it. This app is a complete waste of time!

Happn is basically a den of scammer…

Happn is basically a den of scammer snakes. Starting with the same company that, deceiving millions of its users (in 2016 they sent data to an American marketing agency called UpSight, breaching his own privacy policy). You can easily corroborate this information on Google. Secondly, it does not offer the slightest security for its users against scammers. The only thing they are interested in is having the maximum number of registered users. This is the way most, if not all, other dating platforms operate. If you are a random heterosexual man, by proven statistics, you have almost zero chances of finding a partner through this method and, on the other hand, many chances of falling into the hands of a scammer, who will use your vulnerabilities to try to keep your money. Red flags: 1. A girl has matched you and after a brief conversation in the app's chat she asks you to talk via WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.
2. She presents herself as someone who knows the crypto world.
3. She offers to share her knowledge so you can also earn easy money.

No integraty at all

Happn app developed by people with not even 1 percent of integrity. They 'force' crushes with persons I did not like. This can lead to very unpleasant situations.
This app should be forbidden.

Claiming it's an app where you cross…

Claiming it's an app where you cross paths with people is fraud, this app suggests fake profiles from other countries, this is a scam site assisting scam accounts, question is what happened to all the dating apps, they all changed suddenly and one individual must be responsible, who made the criminal decision to treat us like animals?

Full of scammers

Full of scammers, even after reporting they allow the users to continue, you should be blocking phone number and emails, a simple camera facial verification for ever user would prevent most of the issue, you are helping cyber fraud rather than preventing it

Actually slightly worse than most other…

Actually slightly worse than most other dating apps, lazy coding allows you to see exactly when and how they are manipulating your experience to limmit the amount of people you get to see, there is one good feature but it's not even worth the mental L of using this frankly greedy and already underused app.

Those guys are scammer.

Those guys are scammer.
They have asked me to send my ID to confirm my age which is the first time happens in the dating app. How should I trust them to send my ID with my name and Address the app doesn’t show the years only first 2 number of the year when you create an account, I have deleted my account now since they’ve asked for my ID, I don’t know what they can do with my location, useless app always shows you the same people even when you don't like them, they have to show them again.
My point is don’t waste your money and time be safe and stay a way from those scam.

Honest opinion

Had this app in the background on my phone for 2 years without the ludicrous expensive subscription. Bought the odd flash notes. Fcuking waste of time and money that was.
Only met 2 people. 1 of which I didn't even like in the first place. More scammers asking for email addresses than real people. Complete waste of time app unless you want to lose your money or be single forever. I think it's about to become even worse with the new updates too.

Frustration and feeling of being disadvantaged.

Dear Happn Administrators,

I am writing to express my frustration and disappointment with the lack of matches despite having multiple paid subscriptions. It appears that the algorithm offers matches freely before subscribing but significantly reduces them afterward. This practice feels unethical and goes against consumer principles. I urge you to address this issue and provide a fair resolution that prioritizes user satisfaction and experience. It is sad to note that we are constantly being solicited to purchase additional services. It is frustrating and stressful.
Thank you,
Mohamed Cheddadi

Wow my experience was good

Wow, surprised by the poor reviews. I started using happen during the first weeks of lockdown and paid premium. Obviously had a lot of fake and scam profiles but overall I loved it and 6 months after using it, I met my absolute puzzle piece! We are almost three years together and she is my little world ..thanks happen! I had a great experience… perhaps it’s got worse since then? Still having the best experience!
