Reviews for DOWN: The Casual Dating App

app is super buggy. notifications won't go away after you've already checked on em. lots of weirdos on the app but I guess it is kinda in the description.

terrible , no local members anywhere . although if you browse without paying there are all kinds of locals but the moment you pay there is no one even remotely close to your area

Simply put, the app is bad,you don't receive a large selection of people within your desired destination ( like why is the option there if it is only going to be 5 people ) before they jet your location to meet people in 100/250 miles to kingdom come. it ridiculous. this app, by every letter of the word, is a scam. even after paying for a month, nothing changes other than infinite likes. PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS IS A BAD APP

Hi I had a great first day with the app. I went to use it the next day after getting verified with everything and now I can't login and the code that gets sent to my phone doesn't work and it keeps saying try again later. whats going on?

i kept getting men like... 2 to 3 times my age liking me, which made me extremely uncomfortable. There should be a filtering feature where you cant go under a certain limit after every few decades cuz I don't want someone whose as old as my parents trying to get with me.

Doesn't give a lot of info, and the IO is a little clunky (I've accidently "rated" people i didn't want to with no way to reverse). I haven't received and responses yet, but I don't know if it is a problem with the app or a 'me' problem.

If I could give this app 0 stars I would.. where do I start? there is no option to sort by distance so even in the south of England I'm getting profiles from Scotland and everywhere else etc. it is very unclear as to whether it's a like or profile visit which you have to pay for to see anyway but you don't know if it's a profile visit until you pay and then can't get a refund. I have had a total of 3 people visit my profile in 2 weeks so I highly doubt 90% of profiles are real...

It would be really cool if it didn't select "Date" or "Down" automatically just while trying to scroll through the profile. And they took away the "block profile" feature so you're stuck with your choice after selected.

Multiple times I have tried to tap to go though someone's pictures and it thinks I wanted to match them as either down or date, and I didn't want to. They need to change the way you go through profiles, and unmatch people. Super annoying.

I was on the app for weeks. Liked dozens if not hundreds of profiles, didn't get a single like from anyone of them, but if you want to see who has liked you that you haven't liked, you have to pay. if you wanna see who has visited your page, you have to pay. If you want to start a conversation with anyone, you have to pay. its just a cash grab app. stay away.

Very unhappy, poorly designed app. It showed local people, I expanded the search temporary, and when I moved the settings back to nearby, all the the local people were gone and it said I had seen everyone despite not having had a chance to like the local people I had seen before, only showing people who are hours away now. Frustrating, even with paid version. Also no way to get rid of people you don't want to keep seeing without reporting them.

It's glitchy when you sign up, and the choices/options are a little weird (a guy actually has "wealthy" as his badge???). I despise that if you accidentally match with someone you can only block them and that makes it appear they did something wrong and they get reported. What I hate most is not the distance algorithm doesn't work. It's the age algorithm. I have zero desire to see people barely older than my grandchild. it's annoying enough to make me want to delete the app and move on.

*UPDATE* The problem has only gotten worse. You can no longer block the profiles you have accidentally swiped on. Will not be using this app any longer. Trying to tap through pictures causes the app to select random people. I see multiple people have reported the problem, but it has not been fixed.

Lots of girls to connect with but I would've given it 5 stars if there was a way to filter by location and distance. Edit: had to change my rating as the recent update to the app removed location of the profiles you are viewing and still no option to filter by location and distance like other apps that don't charge you a crazy monthly fee like down does.

Terrible interface. Trying to cycle through photos on a profile is unresponsive and often leads to randomly like a profile you didn't mean to. The matchmaking algorithm is broken as far as distance is concerned, with no option to restrict range. Only 10% of my picks are even located in the same metro as me. I live in KC and yet I see more picks in a small town on the other side of the state then I do in my own city. If you're looking for a hookup app that works, look elsewhere.

I encountered a weird problem, match but the profiles I match with doesn't do anything and the matches disappear, I assume it's because the profiles expired from me taking too long to find them? There is another problem, I can't see my likes at all anymore. used to have a list of everyone I liked and that was awesome but now it shows nothing. Other than that the app seems to work fine and I was happy enough with all the features before some stopped working.

In general, vastly inferior to Tinder or Bumble or any of the others. The three choices, down, date, or skip don't make a lot of sense and it's really easy to select the wrong one. And even in the paid version there's no way to take back the swipe. The filtering options are massively limited compared to other dating apps, and the tech support is extraordinary weak, at best

Before I paid for a subscription, there were several blurred profiles under "Your Visitors". Immediately after paying, they all disappeared. I think this is a scam to get upgrades. Messages are glitchy. I'll receive a notification of a new message and see what the other person wrote, but that message is not in the history. I'm getting results from several states and hundreds of miles away. Clearly, there are not many users on this app yet, so they have to show results from a larger radius.

I'm not sure I really like the UI. Even after I've paid for the sub, I get a limited number of swipes. I chose the nearby profile option, and the profiles that come up can either be far or nearby but not in any particular order. Sometimes, if I try to browse pictures to find out where someone is located, I end up liking them, then I can't find out how to reverse it.... it's just too much and too little at the same time. I just think there wasn't clear communication in development.

App isn't the best to use. The users seem real but no one ever checks messages even when they match. Going back and forth between profile photos is difficult at times as it will sometimes screen touch wrong and have you swipe up or down on the profile to match. The issue? Both up and down are matches. And you can't unmatch users. You actually have to go to your "liked" and block the user is you want to unlock unmatch. No luck with the app in any way.
