This particular app is overpriced In my opinion. If you're already paying for a monthly subscription, It seems offensive to then have to pay an additional charge to chat on top of that. A monthly subscription should include higher level features other than just to post an ad. When using this app, your location is very important, If you do not live in a large area, You will not have a lot of options to choose from. Nice concept, But other apps offer more for free or less.
Reviews for PURE: Anonymous Dating & Chat
Honestly, even though this is a "hook-up" site it is still tasteful. There seems to be some thought into the whole culture. However after a few days Im starting to notice the snapchat spamming, and there's a lot. Additionally, it's not exactly cheap. Pay to post your "ad" but also pay for messaging if you don't want to wait for a connection. There's an option to pay to put your ad at the top of the list as well Lastly, no one is remotely close.
It does exactly what it says, connect with people who also want to do a thing, but the problem is that it shows you people regardless of distance, I've gotten people from 100-400km away many times. And the ones who are close by are most likely bots. I could not tell you how many times I came across the same "person" despite me swiping away. The app needs a huge over haul in bot prevention and considering this is subscription based, you'd expect some quality put in, but the UI is very good.
Ok...so first, neat concept and is to the point of what we're looking for. Good on that. After test driving it for the weekend (3 day free trial) here is what I found. There are almost no people in it. When posting I got about 15-20 (some repeated profiles) but what's worse is that my closest match was 180km! The next was 350km and it just got worse. I kept using it every so often, but the results were identical. And you're asking us to pay for this? Edit: I canceled subscription for the end of the month, tried using it and it asks me to pay for more subscription when I still have days left. Not worth it
This app is awful. The UI is confusing and buggy. There doesn't appear to be any way to search? So you are just presented with a random set of ads with no idea who wrote the ad or where they are located. The website sucks even worse as the text is all on top of each other and there is no way to scroll. Even if I want to pay to view the ads (which I didn't) the website is so poorly designed / executed that other than a check box saying you "accept" the terms there is no further method to actually attempt to pay. DON'T BOTHER WASTING YOUR TIME!
There are very few users in the area and the weekly subscription payment is outrageous. I chose a month only to discover no one in my area uses it, then when I cancelled, the app offered me a discount rate if 9.99/month for two months, but when I tried to accept it of course it disappeared. When I email customer service it's obviously a bot, and they're determined to keep the exorbitant fee they charge to even just look at the app. Don't do it, you'll have better luck elsewhere.
Well, I was enjoying it a lot until I randomly got frozen without any explanation as to why. I paid for a year prior to this happening as well. As far as I know I didn't break any content rules or anything either. This is actually pretty lame... if you're going to freeze accounts I'd suggest specific reasons as to why or allow someone to fix it before completely blocking their access to the app.
Waste of money, paid access is required to make your ad/profile public. No free limited trial to try it out because they want to hide how few people are on it (I'm in a major US city and the options are pretty sparse). They also charge for each additional feature on top of the subscription premium (like at least give me a couple per month included then charge for any more on top of that).
7 years later and this app hasn't changed. Extremely aggressive pricing model that forces you to pay $29/MONTH + $9-$20 to buy their coins so you can become "king of the hill" for a few minutes just so you can be seen by real profiles. If you don't have $60+/month to burn don't even download this. All you'll see is mostly fake and empty profiles, and real ones that are extremely far but you won't match any of them because you are not paying the extra coins to be seen for a few minutes.
App has a few bugs with it, randomly completely resetting and having to set up during use. Not a large user base and a lot of people on the app are scammers so you have to be careful. I'd say 75%+ of matches were scams...you can usually tell because they're very quick to set a meet but when you ask for a picture with a certain pose to verify, they go dark. Even after reporting some of the scammers several times, i still see them popping up which I can tell is still them from either the pictures they use or the general area they always show up in...which leads me to believe either nothing is being done about it or they're fake profiles set up by the app itself to inflate their numbers and get people to pay. Support can also take a while to get a response from within the app.
