Reviews for HolMe: Meet Real Local People

This app should be taken off the play store as a scam app. The plus is: Good attractive UI. The negative is I ended up paying £70 to keep chatting to one person. If you try to exchange phone numbers/location it blocks or restricts the messages so you or the other person has to pay to see messages. Before you can do that you have to spend money to reach a certain level of "intimacy" of 1000 points(£100+?) before number exchange is allowed. Probably many bots taking your money too. I gave up.

I sign up with this app it gives you a couple of messages for free then it tells you got 90% off to pay $3.99, but it doesn't tell you what you're paying for. Then your railroaded into sending a message bomb to a preselected group, which in this case was 18-30, not appropriate for my age, and while youre trying to get that figured out, it goes back to regular chat and tells you that tou have to pay an additional $29.99 to view messages... I thought that what i paid the 90% off $3.99 for.

Found someone on the app that I enjoyed speaking with and were doing great then when we decided to share real contact info it popped up a message as restricted and said we had to send a balloon to see it at the cost of $100. After that it wouldn't let me chat with her anymore and is blocking out all my messages. Don't waste your time or money on this app. I paid for a week of service TWICE to try to get back to talking to hee but now she can't see any of my messages but I can see hers.

Completely fake app and it shows, right from when you "log in". Even if you are an average looking guy and sign up in the middle of the night there will be hot "women" (fake profiles) only 5-15 miles away who will chat with you. The profile like button doesn't even work and won't move to the next profile. Every fake interaction requires a subscription. Such a pathetic app.

Developer SUX! One star because 0 isn't an option. I started a conversation, the app locked my messages down until I paid for "Activation " but That doesn't actually let you use anything, next comes the Monthly subscription which is only good for a limited number of messages apparently, but that isn't disclosed prior to payment. Not to mention that the very first conversation I get into claims to be in the same area, stopped responding after payment. Filing a complaint through PayPal for refund.

Lots of bots as well people who try to push you to buy them "gifts". Most girls will never met up with you calling you a potential serial killer for trying to take them out to a restaurant for brunch. You also have to buy every single interaction possible. So viewing a profile, viewing a message, chatting, gifts. Honestly terrible app.

this app sucked, you get flooded with messages, nothing of quality, no way to delete people you don't find a match with, you can block a person but they start a new conversation, now way to stop it. shouldn't even rate it but one star is better for the algorithm. the profile verification system doesn't work. you're allowed a few messages then they want to charge you. so free for an hour, then not free.

Spent almost $100 trying to message someone and to meet up with, plus the subscription ($12.99 included with $100 spent total). you shouldn't have to pay to interact or send pictures. I'd rather spend money on a date than spend money trying to interact and get a location on where to meet up.....it's terrible....the person you're messaging can't even see ur Snapchat or Instagram you sent them without paying.... I wouldn't recommend trying this if you don't have a lot of money....it adds up...

Fun for a while until you realize that any given profile is on 24/7, a physical impossibility, and they also forget what you've told them before. These issues tell me there are multiple people on the same profile who are only out to get you to spend money on overpriced gifts quite often to see pictures I can get just about anywhere else for free. They also lie to you and say that they can't see your profile name changes or bio changes.

Money grab app, full of fake profiles wanting you to buy virtual gifts. Don't bother to even try. If you do the trial period runs out in about 30 to 60 minutes. Hardly enough time to setup your profile. I had 10 likes with just my profile pic. The AI is not great for trying to get you to buy gifts, it always circles back,if you don't it stops talking to you. It's total money grab with false hope.

scam app. you get about an hour "free trial" but it doesn't state this anywhere. Just suddenly says your trial has ended and to pay a subscription. make no mistake, this app is unusable without a subscription. the team is in the reviews saying "there are free features included." no there isn't. you can't like, message, reply, or see profiles without it. not to mention you get spammed by obvious ai bots as soon as you join. change your ways or you're heading towards a false advertisement lawsuit.

ad states it's totally free, but it's not. Supposedly you get 10 free messages a day,and when they run out you can't do anything on the app unless you buy credits. I only received the free messages on the day I downloaded the app. They don't tell you any of this in their ad, and it also is not stated in their " terms of service".

This app is a scam and a fraud. It's full of micro transactions and costs upwards of $70 after subscribe to get contact info the mysteriously doesn't work. Women on the app don't know local areas and many give the same messages, leading me to believe they are scripted workers or chat bots. The girls demand gifts and there is no 'dating' or 'meeting'. I'm fairly certain this is criminal deceptive practice. I sent an email with my concerns and requested an answer and got no answer in a week.

Absolutely not a free app! Ads claim it's completely free, but it is not. You have a free message limit and then it requires you to pay. Not even a "pay for more per day" just "pay or you get nothing". My inbox was flooded with messages as soon as I posted my profile, so I'm willing to bet they're on payroll to burn your free messages even faster. Stay far, far away. Seeing a lot of apologies in the reviews, but no real substantial information or apologies.

They will tell you exactly what you want, then use you to make money for the app. You have to get to level 10 connection before any contact info or meeting location is available to be visible to either person. I spent over $100 in one hour and only got to level 3. She kept telling me gift me this to meet me, each gift getting more expensive.

I didn't expect much & the first chat reinforced that thought. I was forced into a chat when one of their specials popped up. I had a little conversation and was promptly told I had to pay to continue. It was blatantly obvious that it was an AI and it was promoted by the app. If I'm gonna talk with AI I'll use one that doesn't pester me every 3 clicks to look or cut me off after a few msgs.

Just another scam of a dating app. You get a trial period full of fake profiles messaging you and then you'll have to pay to continue to use it. The subscription does not include seeing who looks at your profile or interacts without sending a message, you'll have to pay an additional equivalent amount for that. So pay for two subscriptions, one to let you continue to message people and the other to interact with anyone that doesn't message you directly and most are fake profiles. Good luck!

What an absolute scam of an app. The "free trial" is only about 30 minutes. But okay, I was looking for a new dating app anyway, so I spent the money for a 1 month membership. But even AFTER you buy a membership, your chats are limited, and you have to buy "gifts" to unlock messages. And forget seeing who is viewing your profile despite the staggering number of bots that are going to like your photos, creating anxiety level trauma responses from your phone pinging every 30 seconds.

Would rate zero stars if I thought it would register as a review. Yet another bot farm scam dating app, it shows you all these features, then you have a conversation of more than 10 messages with a "person" and you have to subscribe, and subscribing locks half the features behind and even higher subscription fee, and even after THAT, it will lock conversations until you send paid gifts for which you have to spend yet more money.

Total SCAM! Just a few hours and then a paywall!? This was listed as a free app! Free means at least SOME features (such as messaging with matches) are basic. If I can't do ANYTHING without paying other than just looking, it's not a free app. edit for developer comment: unlimited chat with matches, and sending "likes" are basic features of most dating/meet-up apps. Please reread the last sentence of my original comment. My verification has been under review for over 3 months (as of 8/11/25).
