Everything was great, until some user got mad that I wouldn't send him money and he reported me. I've been suspended & can't even create a new account....all because I didn't give some guy money.... I would not recommend this app. You can use it for years & the first time somebody reports you for something bogus- blacklisted. Is there a '0' star option??? There should be!
Reviews for Jack’d - Gay Chat & Dating
← Back to Jack’d - Gay Chat & DatingThe app is decent compared to other similar apps. It's the best one right now. I've been using jackd for at least 10 years, and I have never had problems with using it. I've had the monthly subscription for about 2 years and love the filter options and unlimited blocking. the prostitutes should be banned, tho.
Not really a good app they make it easy to be harassed you literally have to purchase a subscription to be able to block people and that not ideal or sensible, and I just read the response.I know how to block a profile, you go to the profile itself.Hit the three dots in the options.You hit block and every time I hit block, it says you can only block a certain amount of people unless you purchase a subscription.I know exactly what i'm saying in this review
This honestly used to be the best gay dating app but now it's crazy with it's ads to the point you can't look at 2 profiles consecutively without an ad showing up or you can only swipe 5 times without the watching an ad message to see more profiles show up. While there is the option to pay to have the ads removed,that and the other features aren't worth the subscription. Also the app is really invested with bots to the point where 80 percent of messages are bots.
The app doesn't give accurate location distance. It would tell me someone is 2 miles away. when they are over one thousand miles away. And it would tell me someone is over 5 hundred miles away. When they are only 7 miles away. I don't know if this is a strategy to inspire users to pay for app, so it would work correctly. If it's not working correctly free, it doesn't inspire me to want to pay for a broken app
It's soo hard for me to keep an active account in my area. The guys are dry, never start conversations or even respond. So I'll just delete my account within an hour or two. Apparently that will result in your device being "suspended". If thats supposed to stop bots, which it doesn't, that makes no sense if I can easily verify myself with an email.I refuse to get a new phone just to use Jack'd. At least make users able to bypass the suspension period by verifying an email.
I enjoy the new look and feature additions but think adding on as many restrictions like, filtering out profiles with no pictures and amount of people you can block was a bad move. I do tend to have an incorrect location due to app bugs/ glitches so I'm getting messages from people everywhere but where I am. The locater is great to be able to see profiles out of state and even be as specific as looking up a profile name
Very dissatisfied with customer support. My profile photo was taken down because it was inappropriate even though it was just a shirtless shot and not a full nude. So now I can't upload any more photos. I've contacted support three times so I can upload pics again but nothing has been done. It's so unfair because other public photos on other profiles are much more revealing than my photo that was taken down. It's ridiculous.
The app is certainly good if you want to find hookups with people of color. Keep in mind that the demographics are middle-aged black men. If that's not what you're into, I recommend other apps. The app is also more known for hookups. As a 20-year-old, this is just not what I am looking for, but the three stars mainly come from the bugginess of the app. It certainly glitches more than similar apps like grindr.
New update will not allow me to update and save my profile! It's embarrassing. I keep getting "Unable to save profile. Email already in use." Well yes, you forced the update onto my phone without allowing me to log out and the new version of the app has no way to log out. I've contacted support twice, no response. I've cleared cache, app data, uninstalled and rebooted my device and I still get the same error message when attempting to save my profile.
This new update has destroyed the only app I liked. CRASHES EVERY TIME I OPEN "VIEWED ME". I don't care about the ads, but i don't like that i can't even check the viewed me section without it crashing. Then, when it finally works, i have to pay to just see everyone or watch an ad to view who viewed me. They're taking away the things that were already free and trying to make you pay for them. That was a desperate move.
Ads galore! Before I was able to see who viewed my profile without any ads now I'm forced to watch at least a 30 sec ad just to see a single profile that had viewed me. And if I want to see the next profile down the line, I'm forced to watch another 30 sec ad like seriously!? Ridiculous! Too many fake accounts spamming me. I'd block them then more would pop out of nowhere. This app used to be good a few years back was probably my go to app but now it's beyond trash! Fix your mess Jack'd!
The app was working fine for a while, but it suddenly stopped letting me send messages on a day I was meant to meet someone. I can still receive them, I just cannot send them. I've tried resetting my router, restarting my phone, force stopping the app, signing out of the app, looking online for any solutions, and I sent a ticket to Jack's Support with no response.
Now the GPS isn't working. The closest person to me is like 12 miles away and that's a lie. Fix this! App is updated reinstalled and downloaded again and still the same thing. Update: Feb 8, 2019 Now I've had the same pictures up for the past 6 months. now all of a sudden they are reported. and it's too many ads. every 2 profiles i have to watch an ad. its ridiculous. I'm really thinking about uninstalling.
This app has definitely gotten better. I wish I could view my entire city as a paying subscriber but it seems that they'd like to keep me surrounded by the lackluster crowd that I'm near (as if I can't travel out or host, HA!) I'm going to drop the subscription but I'll keep the basic membership. Honestly, the subscription was incredibly low budget with little or no perks at all and definitely was not worth the money. Thanks a lot for upgrading the app tho! Its kool
There needs to be a DARK mode or theme. I only wish that when I was logging in that I could hit the little eye 👁 that would let me see me password instead of entering it blindly. Moreover the app doesn't let you preview a photograph before sending. If I am in my saved pictures and I tap on the wrong one the app automatically sends it. I have had to apologize so MANY times for sending out the wrong image. I also wish it were easier to switch profiles. The process needs to be more streamlined.
Updated! I keep getting kicked out and having to create a new profile over and over again! Ads, freezing up, having to watch a video to look at viewed profiles. Deleting now and not reinstalling!!! @ Javier...I'm having the same problem. I can't log in and it is supposed to automatically log into my account. Why can't I log in? For two- three days I couldn't even find the app information in the playstore to update the app...just disappeared, as if the app didn't exist anymore! The worst app!
I have a Samsung phone and an iPad, both versions are terrible!!! I can't stress that enough, just terrible! I won't subcribe again given that the free version doesn't event keep the recieved messages in order. So many problems, can't go through the whole laundry list, just read the other reviews they are spot on. Much better apps (won't name them but not hard to find) with much less trouble. This was good but is now a time and storage space waist.
The app's functionality has improved, but I’m giving one star. I raised concerns about the 5k block limit for paid users and the safety issue of repeatedly blocking the same profiles. Jack’d asked for my email (which I declined), and afterward, they hid my block count. That lack of transparency is unacceptable. I won’t be renewing my subscription and will stick to the free version.
Please remove the limited number of blocks we can do. There might be someone we don't wanna talk to and don't wanna go out our way and pay for something like that. And some guys are stubborn and won't leave you alone so we need to be able to block as much as we want. Also, for some reason, I don't see the cancel subscription option on your app or in Google Pay, so it kept forcing me to pay until I eventually have $0 left.
