Reviews for Hinge Dating App: Match & Date

Whatever you do, don't subscribe to this app. I tried to cancel before my subscription renewed, and what I was seeing in the Play store was different from Hinge's cancelation instructions said. The Play store said my subscription was 'inactive' so I thought I was good. Come renewal day, I was charged $90. I contacted Hinge. They resent the same instructions that didn't work the first time. Contacted Play, they say "too bad, can't help you." You're taking a risk subscribing to this.

This is the only app where, after a month (paid subscription), I've received no likes and maybe 4 responses to my messages. I even opened up my profile a little as well, it's far from restricting. On all other apps, I have quite a few messages going. I was hoping Hinge might have a different subset of guys, but I guess I'm very wrong or something. I may be in contact with Hinge to ask for a refund - this has been such a waste.

I have had the app for 2 weeks and I've gotten one like and zero matches. This was even after purchasing the highest upgrade. Either they are Shadow banning my account or there's something wrong with the algorithm. I'm not trying to be egotistical or macho, I would just think that I would be more like or matches, especially if you are using the premium upgrades to send roses and messages. I've never received a like, rose or message. I assume females get to use those too. I'd give it zero ⭐

DELETES EVERY MATCH - FIX YOUR APP. This used to be a decent app, but for the last few weeks every time I get a match, my Matches still shows empty. I literally just replied to someone, the app froze and didn't post my reply and now when I go back in 5 seconds later, go figure, no matches. I get 1-2 matches a day and for the last few weeks, it's been a waste of time because the trash app doesn't list them. YOUR APP IS WORTHLESS IF IT CAN'T DO THE ONE THING YOU'RE SELLING IT TO DO. DO BETTER

I feel like this is the only app where people absolutely have to fill out their profile and put effort into it, and the only profile where I felt like I could look for something serious. I like the interface, like the profile setup, and I like how there is no swiping! The likes can come in and you can sift through them. The subscription model is super expensive and I don't see a point in it, otherwise I found my person on here! But it did take years of being on and off the app.

Terms of service account are terrible. I set up a profile and it was removed not even an hour later for violation of terms of service. basic pictures, simple responses to prompts. no messages sent nor matches. Appeal process pending. App seems to have issues and I can see from reviews in not the only one. fix your app.

Bought a week of premium and wouldn't you know it, I got matches that just never showed up prior to me buying it. However almost all of the matches I have gotten since my purchase have been bots. Outside of that, with how many people use the app I find it very hard to believe that theres nobody matching with me, making me think my profile just isn't being pushed. Hinge Plus or Premium just isn't worth it going off the trial run.

I do like the prompts as they help engagement more than simply swiping. That said this app it feels like has devolved. I used to get one or two matches a month, not a ton but it was a good rate for me and what I'm looking for. Feels like this year it took a downturn or I'm shadow blocked with zero notification. I haven't had more than two matches all year, it's nearly August now. Maybe I should just give up on apps at this point.

So before some updates that were done we actually could still filter by anything on the profile and being able to filter my language was open to anyone, It wasn't a premium feature or anything like that. after the update, not only did they get rid of it completely which basically got rid of the only filter I needed but also, made it so that it's harder to connect with people that communicate in the same language!!

I have enjoyed Hinge far more than the other options. BUT...the use of AI to summarize profiles is going to make me leave. AI really doesn't have to be used everywhere. Please remove the intros. it's so unnecessary and gives a very inauthentic feel to the profile. Personally, I hate it. Great app, successful way to meet romances and friends-but remove the AI intros component.

Typical but very detailed and useful UI and filter search. But It would be more useful if there wasn't a pay wall for everything unfortunately very disappointing It seems like even just to interact with others there is a pay wall and for an app the made to be deleted prices are a bit high with not much more to offer behind what you pay for. Simply put paying for empty promises. There should at least be some "money back if you're not satisfied" in the plan or a "cancel any time get a refund".

You basically have to pay to match with anyone who's "standout" - when you're older, highly educated, put a lot of effort into your profile, are looking for something, and decently attractive, that basically means you're stuck with paying to finding someone on the same page- and the rate is ridiculous for the relatively small amount of people using the app. This is a change from years ago.

Not able to filter results to be in the same country? I couldn't find where to do that anywhere. Could only find distance settings. The majority of profiles the app is showing me are from Canada. I don't live in Canada... Also it doesnt matter if I adjust the filters to suit my preferences, the app keeps showing me profiles that ignore those filters. On top of that I keep seeing profiles that I've previously passed on. Not very impressed so far.

Bought a week of Hinge X and my likes dropped dramatically! I even started using the app more! It's like the app is set up to decrease your likes to get you to sign up for a longer period of time. Feels like such a scam! Would be great to have the option to just like "Standouts" instead of having to give them a rose. The same people often don't pop up on the regular list of people, so you either give them a rose or nothing at all. Also wish you didn't have to subscribe to use lifestyle filters.

Decent app, but I know now I've been getting fewer likes alloted to me than I used to. They say you're supposed to have 8 per 24 hrs (even that's down from the 10 you received years ago), but I haven't even been getting that much. Each of the last several days, I'm positive I've only been afforded 7 likes. I've been counting just to be sure. I would hope this is not a case of false advertising on the part of the makers. Feels like a ploy to stoke more subscription purchases.

One of the only apps to limit how many likes you can give out per day in the hopes you'll get frustrated and buy a membership. Hinge used to be alot better and actually worth paying for but they've hiked up the price and its just not worth the cost anymore. There are other apps that don't limit how many people you can like and have memberships that are actually worth the price.

It starts off like it's free but after just one day it's clear that you can't get anywhere without paying, and it's not cheap. The main problem for me with the free account is that you can't see who liked you, and even if you do eventually match with them you lose the information of what they liked or any comment they made. They should at minimum unlock the 'Likes you' section for ones you've matched with.

Seems ok. Quality of people seems higher compared to other dating apps. Choosing which specific aspect of someone's profile you like is a clever touch. I just wish there was a general purpose "About Me" section to write an actual profile about yourself. Cause as is now, you're just answering 3 prompts to barely give people an idea of who you are. I also wish it was more immediately clear where somebody is actually currently located. Their hometown is shoved in your face first.

I like the filters and customization of the app but the free version is far too limited. Only 8 likes every 24 hours and they don't even show you how many you have left anywhere in the app. At least for new users I feel like you should get more cause the first couple days you get like no matches it feels useless. Also keeps deleting info about my relationship preferences on my profile.

My experience on this app thus far has been mediocre, not too bad or good, but my main issue is the fact that they just changed how the standouts feature works without saying anything. You used to be able to browse standouts at your leisure, but now you get one look at the list and then can't see them anymore. I just casually looked through my list without sending any likes or roses and was abruptly told that I have to wait 14 more hours to see standouts again.
