I can't fault the app for the lack of members on it. This is similar to Facebook dating except you have to pay and there are a fraction of the members. On top of that there are reduced search items than Facebook Dating. How can this app complete with free?? Obviously you don't get what you would be paying for. It's just pay more get far less. Sorry I can't justify paying a subscription for this.

Very disappointing. Setting up the profile is super cluegy and literally that's all you can do for free . . . is set up your profile. As soon as you want to connect with anybody or see who wants to connect with you, you gotta kick out the cash, which isn't that big of a deal, but here's my money talking . . . Bye. They probably can't offer a complimentary 30 day trial because they don't have the content to keep people around that long.

You literally can do *nothing* except make a profile without paying for it. It also shows you the same profiles over and over and over even after you "no" them. Edit in response to Stir's reply: This is not true. You cannot see the profiles of anyone who likes you, just a first name and blurred out picture. If you click on their profile, you're given the options to purchase and no further information. Also, no one wants to see a match suggestion for someone they've already passed on 3 times in 5 minutes. The repetition is pointless.

I caved and paid for an account, but it's not respecting my "seeking" limits. Probably 80% of the profiles shown are too far away for me. This is for single parents, our free time is limited and valuable, if we're not interested in driving all over or not capable of moving for love, distance is important! Other than that it's fine, it's not very different from any other app. ETA: what a scam. I contacted support about seeing profiles out of my "seeking" range and was told to increase my range.

You pretty much have to pay to get any traction. Someone sends you an intro, pay wall. The preferences are also ignored. Example - I input a radius for matches, as a parent I don't have the time to drive a long way. I'm getting suggestions for people within ~100miles. I also live in a major metro so it's not a lack of matches. Update - I have currated my preferences before posting my review. Like I said, getting matches from far outside of the distance I input.

Not only can you not see who has liked your profile without paying at least $15 (to have the ability for 1 week) you also can't see messages people have sent. I have hundreds of likes and after scrolling for hours I was able to eliminate only 1 from that list. That either means stir isn't showing me profiles of folks that like me or worse, they're lying about the number of likes. Either way, Stir is definitely more of a cash grab than an actual tool to meet potential partners.

Upon review of my subscription I see that I was signed up for 6 months. This was not the option that I chose as I only wanted to try the site out for 1 month & was not given an option of a free trial. I have tried the app for a few day in hopes that I would like it, but it really isn't for me. There are very few options & tweaks you can make. On top of that I wasn't even able to edit the miles in which I would be willing to connect with someone. Also your customer care option doesn't work!

They send lots of likes and messages trying to get you to buy their product. Despite being in my age and location range (the only filters I have), the "matches"never show up in the recommendations. Run out of recommendations fast. Don't waste your time. They also keep saying I have 24 new recommendations, and when I go swipe, it's only a four or five before it tells me I'm out for the day.

Literally no point in having the app when the only way to talk to anyone is if you pay for it. I get wanting 'premium' features for an app, but there's not any point when it's free to sign up but you have to pay to use everything else. At the point just make people pay to sign up. If I was able to message people I matched with that's one thing, but I can't even do that. Waste of time and will be removing my account.

The app is pretty cut and dry for the most part. It's easy enough to navigate and even an idiot like me can use it well. The only big issue I have is the subscription. I cannot cancel it and was even charged for a month I did not want and there is no information on how to contact anyone. Please, match llc, update the app so people can cancel the subscription if need be.
