Reviews for CatholicMatch Dating App

Tight fisted dating app because they put everything behind a paywall to the point its next to unusable. The owners should look at the popular dating apps. You get max 100+ right swipes for free per week. On this one, you get 3 hearts? Why is it when you make your account active after setting it to inactive that you have to wait weeks for the option to make your account inactive again? It has good potential, and i think modifying the free privileges a bit to make it usable is a good idea. Thx.

There are a few issues I have with this app. It has very detailed profile making and accessibility is good and searches are easy to navigate. That provides 2 stars. The 3 LOST stars are from what is blocked by subscriptions. Messaging? Blocked unless mutual likes (which is fine I guess). Seeing who you sent a like to? Blocked. Seeing who liked you? Blocked. LIKING PEOPLE? BLOCKED. It's not "smart business;" it's pure greed.

Despite saying "Don't ask again" when asked to write a review, the app won't stop asking. Honestly disappointed. Communication and even viewing who liked your profile is locked down without paying. This app really isn't worth anything unless you buy a subscription, which seems to be too expensive in my view. The user interface is clunky. All images are low-resolution, and notifications are broken for me. It is also very unclear when the "Matches" tab will have new matches, but it rarely does.

it's a very good app found so many people with the same interest as mine, but every time I tried to message them but I just wasted my time trying to write a message because every time I tried to do so it would ask me to pay for a subscription, it's really sad really because being able to send message to people shouldn't be placed behind a pay wall, and mind you it's not a cheap pay wall it's a very salty price for a subscription, it feels like they just care about the money! instead of helping.

I can't log in to my account after paying for 6 months. Have Email the support admin, but never get respond. so sad

Paid premium subscribers be aware!!! This app make the receiving party wait 10 days to view the messages you sent. The receiving party then is confronted with the choice of waiting those 10 days or pay. In other words the Premium subcription is worthless since does not guarantee that the receiving party will be able to read it in a short span of time.

dont fall for this scammy app. ive been trying to receive a refund because I got no notification of being charged for the annual subscription. I dont even use this app and they are making it hard to place a refund request. would rate negative stars if I could.

I've tried the app before but deleted it due to not working as well as the website. Also, seriously disappointed that you can't message without paying. I get paying for premium features but keeping people from messaging (especially if they can't afford the pricey subscription, $30 for 1 month) is shameful and greedy. This does not seem like a company that cares about providing a space for Catholics to connect.

This app is awful. It is essentially just pay-to-use, as you cannot message anyone without paying, and is exorbitantly expensive. I've paid for plenty of apps before, but $30 a month is rediculous. Especially because even if you pay for the app, it's likely your match does not and thus cannot respond anyways. Add onto this a glitchy interface, low quality photos, and poor filtration — don't waste your time.

Good app, but could use more improvement with the user-interface. I wish what had improvement was the Manage Photos section. I cannot delete and/or select a different profile picture. Wish it were a little more UI-friendly on that matter. Also, it would be nice to get push notifications instead of emails for people responding to our profiles. Emails get clogged as is, but a notification is short and brief and grabs our attention.

An honest review from someone who has used the app 5+ years. First off, the population of people who use this app is quite small. I've rarely actually matched up with girls and gone on dates with them. When I have periods of time where I don't pay for it, I all of a sudden get a lot of interaction that I don't get paying. And this is a complaint more against Catholic women than the app itself, but the girls I have gone out with from this app I found to be quite naive, unrealistic, and cruel.

Make no mistake, this is a paid service. They lead you to set up your whole account and even get a few matches, but to view or even send a message there's a paywall. It's a shame too, far more Catholics would use this app if it were free to use. They could run banner ads or even intermittent video ads, and even keep the paid premium version. The app is quite clunky as others have said, but this bothers me less than that the whole point of this, talking to others, is forbidden unless paid for.

This app is super restricted of you aren't a paying member. If you aren't going to pay for a membership don't bother joining. If you don't subscribe: 1) You have to wait 7+ days to unlock messages. 2) you can't even see who matched with you but you do get a pop-up saying you matched with someone. Seems like pretty slimy practices compared to the other dating apps out there.

I've used this app for almost a year and like it overall, especially how it puts upfront on each profile a person's stance on key teachings, and I also like the suggested matches based on the extensive compatibility quiz. I also do like the user base better than I expected. However, I wish it were encouraged for people to state their education & occupation (some skip it) or even have it upfront on each person's icon. That way, we don't have to only choose people based just on age and appearance.

(Making an update on the app) They almost literally charge to do anything but funny thing is when I paid to "upgrade" my account was locked. I've messaged customer support and it's been a week still no fix. Also in order to reach your specific case number you need to be logged in, but how can you log in when your "Account is Locked". I had hopes for this account, sucks.. It glitches at "what dieces are you in" so I can't even make an account saddly. If they fix this I'll be back.

The app itself is okay, but there are some problems for me. I accidently liked someone's profile and I wasn't able to unlike it. I tried adjusting my match filters and still resets or matches against it. Some notifications don't go away after viewing them, (like messages) they send twice or don't send. I noticed there are a few accounts that are inactive and it would nice if they weren't as accessible if they aren't active. Lastly it would be nice to view your profile like a viewer on the app.

Pretty sure that with the base account when someone "likes" you they hide their account from your search to make you upgrade. I've had no search parameters & haven't found any of the people who liked my profile (blurred images but some profile pics are very distinct). It seems fishy. $120 a year or $30 a month! Maybe a lot of people don't use the app but for the cost it could at LEAST be better quality. Also, take note of the comments they DON'T reply to on here. It's overall rating is fair.

Above and beyond other dating apps if you're looking for other Catholics, but that's not saying much. The app needs quite a bit of work. It logs you out automatically, so you'll have to sign in nearly every time you open the app. Once you do type in your credentials (or use your fingerprint or whatever saved login method you have), it might or might not work, depending on who knows what. This is just one of the more annoying things about the app, but it is one of many.

The android version of this app needs work. The desktop site on my chrome browser on this phone is easier to navigate. for starters, when I hit the back button, it takes me back to the sign up or member log in page. From which I can't view my account and either have to log back in or force close and reopen the app. the log in screen shouldn't be visible to logged in members. Also, pictures are buggy and auto crop strangely after posting. If it wasn't a hassle, I'd use the website on my laptop.

The app does not flow as well as the website and there are less options. It's decent for searching and messaging, but overall I prefer the website. With that, it had been over a year since I used it last and there are accounts exactly the same as before but were still "active within 24 hours", I'm a little concerned about fake accounts.
