This app has potential. Some preferences are lacking (i.e. You can only select introvert or extrovert. There's no ambivert.) The pay wall is very high, which is especially concerning for those that live in areas that produce very few to almost no match results in their area. They want you to connect to LinkedIn. That's an additional privacy concern.
Reviews for The League: Date Intelligently
I was on the waiting list for months& had a complete profile w/ detailed content& great photos. Never got in so I finally decided to become a member a couple days ago. So far I've seen 15 bios, most of which were incomplete, didn't match my criteria (I want kids, they don't), w/ bad quality or group photos where I didn't even know whose bio I was looking at. I really thought this 'exclusive app' was intended to filter for the price. Wish I read the reviews here prior to purchasing. #refund 👎🏻
Here's why I don't like the league. I got drafted got some matches, some conversation, I just didn't find someone I liked. I can see I'm getting more likes, so I upgrade. I went at least two months without a like. During that time I get fake profiles, profiles that feature both men and women and repeat profiles on consecutive days. *Update* I canceled my subscription and went back to the free site, I have like 7 likes. Just Terrible.
First off, the waitlist is ridiculous. Secondly, when you finally get in, you barely get any potential prospects. Third, it's just as hard to match as other dating apps. Fourth, it says you can contact a live agent for customer service but there is no number listed. Fifth, if you accidentally press the button to buy new prospects, it automatically purchases them without confirming first.
Just uninstalled for the 2nd time. This time, they keep sending me notifications from groups I never joined. Then, told me they took me off the list for inactivity. Then, when I respond to their Happy Hour notifications, I'm not able to see the connection waiting for me. For all this, they want $399/week which. IDK if it's the pure Colombian or the cheap stuff mixed with baking soda but it's something to give them a lot of hubris to ask for that kind of money in exchange for absolutely nothing.
It's a good concept. I really want to like it and I'm definitely keeping the app. But there just aren't enough users so it's trying to match me with people that are much too far away (100+ miles). I hope it will get better with time. But just from an active daily user perspective I could never justify paying for it. So far I've had one connection and they ended up being a hoarder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ better luck next time I guess. It would benefit having additional things like personality traits to filter.
Most of the app is nice, once you get off the wait list. The League Live feature is great... when calls don't drop immediately. They give you three 3 minute video chats per event (twice a week), but every time, at least one of kine drops within 30 seconds or starting. The app counts it as successful, so then I'm one down, and barely got to know anything at all about the other person. Would definitely rate higher if that issue gets fixed.
Options are lackluster. Although I'm accomplished and successful, I find the options maybe slightly better than other free apps. I see men from the other apps on here also. I think it's crazy to pay $200 a month just to see more than 3 people a day. I can't even change my pix once up. I live 35+min. North of Manhattan, and don't want to date there. Maybe 2% of my matches were outside of the city even though I set my location to 30 miles North. Same players, different app basically.
This app is extremely over-hyped. I was on the waitlist for like a month (which I was expecting), but once I was allowed to use the app, I found the selected prospects to be completely unrealistic matches for me. There's clearly a flaw in the "algorithm" used to provide me with relatable matches that have anything in common with me. And don't get me started on the concierge, which is just a spam robot that gives you "tips" on how to match with people you don't even want to match with. BOO! 👎
I had been using this app for a couple of months when it started to glitch out. Every time I logged on it would say 'retrieving matches' or something like that and I would hit 'ok' about 7 times and then it would show me the same matches from the day before. i messaged the consierge, got no response and the next day somehow I was back on the waitlist. it says I am 1 in like of some big number locally and globally but it's still sitting there in waitlist and no response from consierge. I give up!
