Just gross and disappointing

I recently went back on Tinder to use its international feature, I would not go on Tinder for local dating. I paid for an account and switched my location to another country, Tinder is OK in some of their biggest markets outside the US.
I decided to switch back to the US and OMG what a Zoo! The profiles were either of unattractive women , women in undatable situations or scammers/bots. If you do find an attractive , smart , established women on Tinder... she is going to work you for the princess treatment. Don't waste your time and money on Tinder in the US.
Over 75% of Tinder's revenue comes from males.
Start paying attention to your customers.

I’ve used this on and off for years. Pretty much girls just want you open there PPV"s and have no conversation skills. no one is actually trying to go on a date. Everyone you get there it just goes no where and the profile they expose either is a BIO or they are not even real

Just could not get it to work. Just kept glitching out, specifically at the boundary setting part. Just unusable. Used to be fine when I was younger, I guess times move on!

Waste of time and money for men in Australia and other developed countries. Same feedback from other men in AUS, USA, and Northern Europe. I’ve used the free version for years. I paid AUD $29.99 with PayPal for 1 week subscription the very first time years ago, and again recently to see if anything changed. That’s why I’m finally writing this review. It’s setup for auto renewal fee so you have to cancel it early. At least I got an email warning of this and I cancelled the auto renewal straight away. Then got a confirmation email. You should not have to worry about such things. It’s like a scam.

The app system works by you making a profile and sending likes to others. On the free version you get to view 100 profiles a day whether you Like or Dislike them. Members must have a profile picture and account name. Eg: can put a picture of a potato and put “Secret Agent James Bond”. Report these fake profiles with no real pic of a person, they’re just wasting everyone’s time. You can like a members profile and if they like you back that’s a Match. Then you can both message each other. You get notified if another member likes or messages your profile. It's a simple system and works on occasion. Conversion rate is 10% for men, meaning even if I sent 100 likes only 10 reply. Of those 10 replies 9 are usually scammer or fake accounts. Women use it to promote their social media and business accounts, like Instagram (IG). This is against the rules and report them. It’s sad they’re so desperate for followers and attention. If you see their IG handle or tag on their profile report them as fake. They’ll never reply you or meet up. Often they’re not even in your area or country it’s a fake account. Whether a bar, restaurant, online store, or porn site. Most are fake promoting something like this. There are also both gay and straight men with fake accounts pretending to be women, doing all the above and worse. No actual meet ups or dates. Get use to many fake profiles. I regularly report them. I think these online platforms actually makes fake profiles to keep you interested and paying subscription fees. Other young male friends have the same experience and feedback. The paid version is unlimited likes but there may not be many people in your area. IE: if there’s only 30 people in your area then no point in the paid version. If conversion rate is 10% then 30 likes may result in 3 replies. Of those 3 replies they’re all fake accounts and scammers. I feel the paid version does get likes and replies quicker, but don’t get too excited. You’re getting higher priority for all the same problems above. There’s some other minor benefits and perks you can look up on the different paid versions. The paid version can be used overseas for travel. But you could also setup a local phone and new account for that country.

Over the years the app has become less and less useful. I used to get 1-2 real profiles chatting and dates a year. I even got into a long-term relationship with one a long time ago. Now it’s none at all. I think its Tinder trying to push users onto the paid version and purposely removing any benefit of the free version. It sucks but makes sense as they’re trying to make money from paying customers as a business. Women on the app are just using it to promote their social media and businesses. It’s ridiculous. Other men in Australia, USA, and European confirm similar feedback. Depends on your country and region. Eg: Guys who traveled Columbia and SE Asia got some dates but all the same problems apply and plenty of scams.

Female users have also confirmed all the above and on their side they get likes and message straight away. An average young woman boasted to me she was dating 15 guys from the app at one time. She was doing it for validation. Showed me screenshots of the messages as proof. It’s a really bad system and false reality. A fat ugly Karen will get likes and messages from desperate low quality men. Low quality women get a false confidence on the app and try to take advantage of everything. The high quality men think modern dating is hopeless and stay single. This is a heavily manipulated virtual reality on the internet. It’s not real. Just an internet app with bad demographics and bad management.

Approximately 9% or less of the population is online dating. This is a very small amount of people online dating and a majority are men. Ratio of 10 men to 1 woman. With that massive difference it's very hard for men online dating. The women on these apps are very picky and look down on men with so many guys messaging and lining up. They waste your time desperate for more followers on social media like IG. Or trying to get material things like free drinks, meals and gifts. You are the man qualifying the women, not the other way around. Don't let the scammers take advantage. Save your time, energy, and money.

If I could give 0 stars then I would
Online dating is designed for men if they can't get what they want from you they report you, signed up last week and got banned the same day got my money back
Have reached out to tinder asking them to take automatic renewal off but of course no one can help me

I’ve used this on and off for years. Pretty much girls just want validation and have no conversation skills. no one is actually trying to go on a date. Everyone you get there number it just goes no where. Better chance walking up to someone in person and have a real conversation.

Went back on after five years, what a con. 80%+ are women from Asia or mostly Africa despite my distance’ settings. I don’t think they’re fake profiles, I believe they’re desperately looking to get a free ride off some bloke to the UK. Then you also get women promoting their escort services.

Was an ok site 5-10 years ago but the company has given up on being reputable, they just scam you for money.

Minus 5 star. Why you called tinder you should called scammer site flooded by scammers like anything else I ever experience you sign with them you sign to scammers review say everything! Hope one day hackers will give you revenge.

My sister asked me to share her experience with this company, as she was deeply disappointed. Here is her review:
It is impossible to complete verification - the app constantly breaks on its own bugs. Judging by lots of reviews, I’m far from the only one experiencing this. Support chose an even simpler approach: complete silence.
As a result, the money paid to this so-called "dating service" effectively resulted in no service being provided.
The outcome: wasted time and a very clear feeling of being used. At your own expense.

You keep getting notifications about likes, but you can’t see anything unless you subscribe. The moment your subscription ends, the likes magically pile up again. As a woman using the free version, it’s basically pointless. Very few matches, and when you do pay, many profiles feel inactive or lead nowhere. Conversations rarely turn into real dates

Oh wow — Tinder, the miracle factory of imaginary “likes.”

My subscription expired, and suddenly I couldn’t see all those mysterious admirers unless I paid again. Funny how every single day the number kept “growing.” What a coincidence. So I thought — alright, let’s fall for this magic trick one more time. Six more months… maybe love is waiting behind the paywall.

So I renew… and surprise! All those “likes”? Not even close to my type. Not one. And now, three weeks later, I get one… maybe two likes total. Amazing how the flood instantly turns into a desert once they’ve got your money.

What a brilliant business model — sell the illusion, cash in, then silence.

Robbing swines, extortionate fees, carried on charging me after I cancelled and will charge me for March???
Avoid Avoid Avoid

I tried to login via desktop and Iaways login via mail, it forced me to enter a phone number then suddenly it logge me out of my account in mobile phone. When I tried to login again with the recently added phone number it was treating it as a new account. I created a new account alla my active conversation and matches was not transfered to new account it was completely lost. I contacted customer care and they did not help with anything apart from writing generic mails nonspecific to your situation. Honestly I'm thinking about suing them for physiological harassment. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GARBAGE COMPANY

Very poor app now and nothing like it was years ago. Your hidden likes that they want you to pay to see are mostly people you have already swiped left as not interested in.

Pathetic.

Hideous Scam Scam Scam can’t use it doing such inappropriate features and scamming you for money do not use it!

They don't want you to match with anyone so they can keep forcing you to buy extra stuff

I'm a decent looking guy so I've been told so I go onto tinder and get 6 likes. I pay for tinder gold 1 week costs me 15 quid. I dicover that the likes are people I disliked and I swipe on people I like and don't get anything. no likes no matches nothing. tinder says pay for boosts. so they want you to pay more money to be seen. its not very fare an not very man friendly. Its just about bleeding you dry. Used to be good years ago but its pointless now.

Enormous number of glitches in the app. Matches you have chatted with disappear and reappear in your "new matches". Notifications don't come through.
People are leaving Tinder in their droves as it's so poor.
Find a different dating app.

What a waste don't get nothing back even pay for tinder plus. Been on tinder for year,might as well pay for an escort at least I'm getting something. All dating apps are useless & scams

The App concept is good, but they try to make you pay as much as they possibly can. getting matches but those matches are hidden from me, always pushing me to pay to get the results i want. i only pay for boost that makes sense but other feature are not worth it.
