Okay, you don't have to look through many reviews to see that there is a fundamental issue with this application. It seems that there is some sort of suspicious activity protocol that will automatically suspend users based on some sort of model. I was using the app and I even bought a subscription. Within 2 hours, my account was suspended for an indeterminate reason. I understand automation is necessary, but there NEEDS to be an explanation for it. Support is not quick on the draw either.
Reviews for Kink D - Alternative Dating
← Back to Kink D - Alternative DatingI was on KinkD for about 8 months when my account was deactivated without my permission. I did not receive any notification prior a d when I inquired with support no answer. So, I made another profile and within a day a received an error message that I couldn't log in. No response again from support. I tried a 3rd profile. Same result. No support at all and extremely frustrating. I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone.
My first complaint and by far the worst is the search function. It's dreadful. You can only search a specific city for someone. No range by miles like every other dating app. Incredibly tedious and it doesn't even list major cities near me. Major hassle. Second, very limited specific preferences on what type of people I can search for. Overall, you'll find yourself clicking around the app and finding nothing. Waste of time and money IMO. Will be cancelling membership.
This app is a complete waste of time. I paid for a month of premium, created a complete profile, sent respectful messages to about 40 people. Zero response. Then I noticed that not only was nobody responding, they weren't even visiting my profile. THEN I noticed multiple profiles for the same person several years apart based on the ages listed. So what's going on is that almost nobody is actually active on here. It's just abandoned profiles they leave up to make it look popular.
Don't waste your money. I signed up for a one month paid subscription. And in that entire month. All the profiles were the same. Some even looked fake. You message those profiles and never get a response. As though they don't exist. And only profiles that are 1000 miles away from me check me out or save me as a favorite.. Again... the whole thing seems very sketchy. Buyer beware!
This is the 3rd time I've had to make a new review for this garbage app. I went through 2 weeks of extremely long emails with the kinkd team. The kept saying my account was unlocked again but I kept saying they didn't unlock it. Finally, they said they are locking it permanently. I genuinely never once messaged someone on the account. I made my account (cherrybabex) and immediately it was locked. So how could I have violated your texting rules WHEN I NEVER EVEN MESSAGED. Worst support ever.
I have been with Kinkd since it launched. I like it a lot, the only thing that I miss are being able to write status updates. I have met some cool people though. Lately the app keeps removing my profile picture. I don't know why that is. They are regular photos, Facebook would approve of them. I miss the old interface. Now it's more like match, the worst app ever.
Fair number of users and I enjoy the ability to change search locations -- whether by state or specific cities -- but enabling a "search within a radius of X miles or km" would be ideal. Aside from that, the only real issues are about the lack of information for Free Users; you can't see who visited or followed you... even when it's mutual!
I've been a Premium member for a while now. I really wanted to like the app. The UI is easy to use, and the layout is well-made. However, there is one major issue, which is probably the worst issue a dating app can have: sometimes messages don't reach the other party, and there's no warning on the app stating thay that's the case. As you can imagine, this has resulted in a few conflicts where I've had to take screenshots of the chat to prove to the other person I received nothing.
Great concept; horribly made. Pushing aside the various issues other reviewers described (quite a few), there is a constant issue where the app can't connect to the servers. Judging by reviews, this has been unresolved for years. This affects everything at some point, but it hits messages most. You will not be able to view your messages and you will get a "Connecting" message at the top that will never connect. It is not your internet connection as other apps work fine. Very Disappointing.
When I made my first account and subscribed it was great until I forgot my password, that is. Tried resetting it via email but I never received the email even after many attempts. So I created a new login and the exact same thing happened again, plus now I was paying for two subscriptions. Canceled the subscriptions and sent an email to KinkD with no response. So I tried one more login, but it just says that I can't log in at this time. 🙄 I rather enjoyed the app when I actually got to use it,.
Gotta pay, nothin free here. Update: Limited free... Means just that, LIMITED! Extremely limited. To the point, after reviewing the app, I was left wondering, is it worth the price? I still don't know. Sometimes you just gotta give a little to gain a lot. Due to the professional response I received... 'good customer service, Ive increased my rating.
So the app does it's job. Though all of a sudden it won't refresh. I have disconnected and reconnected wifi over and over again, nothing. I've restarted my phone, nothing. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app, and still nothing. But I emailed the support email you provided, and error domain is the quick email I get back. Did something happen to my account?
It's a pretty good app. You do have to become a premium member to get the chance to meet someone (note: when they say $$ per month for 3 months, they'll take out all 3 months at one time!! BE AWARE! however I have met a few prospects. My only problem is... why is there a private photo option if the company doesn't allow nude pix there? That seems counterintuitive. That's something that needs to be fixed... if nothing else at least for those that pay. I have been satisfied with my experience tho
Good idea, but barely usable if you don't live in a major city. The problem is that you can only filter by either state or "city." If I filter by state, most of the results are 4-6 hours away by car. If I filter by city, I get two results in my tiny village. I can check other nearby locations, but I would have to do a hundred individual searches to check every single named place within a 30 minute drive. Just do a radius like every other app, or at least let us search by county.
It seemed promising. The message one person for free was an annoyance so I paid for a one month subscription just to see if it could be worth it. Suddenly, the chat, THE MAIN DRAW OF, isn't working saying I need a internet connection as I'm watching a video at the same time. It fails to refresh so fast it's obvious it didn't try. Felt like I got scammed since after I paid it stopped working. Plus with little to no response from anyone seems pretty dead.
Sad. This app rather make quick money to where most will cancel their subscription after 1 month. As opposed to being more thoughtful in presenting a good product. Firstly, it's sad that your pic will not remain for brand new users unless you pay for a membership. Then, most profiles are very incomplete. Or they're Catfish! Istg one guy had 6 profiles with the same picture! Unreal! Then the search feature for location is a joke! Do better! I cancelled my membership within 1 day!!
If you want to msg more than a single new profile a day you have to pay for premium, which is expensive..and wouldn't be as bad if it didn't seem full of long dead profiles. If you want to see who's viewed your profile you also have to buy premium. I'm guessing there's more "features" i havent tried using yet that are also locked behind a pay wall. Isn't there a better way to monetize apps like this???
I've had some great hookups on this app. It takes patience, as you get 1 free message a day but you can meet people without having to pay for membership. Much better than a swipe style app. I prefer being able to look at everyone's profile all the time. It has a few connectivity bugs they still have to fix. If they happen use airplane mode on your phone and then turn it off...refresh your connection and you'll be good.
So far, okay. Despite some profiles only wanting you to send money before ever even meeting and others that just plain don't respond, there have been a few good contacts made. Update: After a year, I can't recommend this app. Partly due to clunkiness and the rest due to the caliber of people on the app. Not one single meeting in person, plenty of people talking big game, but 100% flake rate when time to meet, that they set and agreed to. this app needs to be de-listed
