Reviews for Upward: Christian Dating App

6/26 Update: Changed from three stars to one star. I paid for a week subscription, and just a couple hours later, they locked my account with no explanation. I can’t sign in now. I emailed their support 3 days ago and still haven’t gotten a response. I’ve used this app on and off for the […]

Upward is a great app. Something annoying is that they recently updated “non-denominational” to “non-confessional” which makes zero sense unless maybe you’re a Catholic. Please change it back. Protestants don’t use this lingo and it doesn’t translate well. Also, they changed the looking for “marriage” to “marriage and family”. This should be changed or split […]

This app is nothing more than a money grab! It’s more expensive than most dating apps. I thought I’d try it for a month and it completely ignores my filters. And wants more money to be “platinum” to see who I want to see!?! Isn’t that the entire point of having filters? I have my […]

Another pay-to(not)-win Tinder copycat app. After about an hour, it kept showing me people 150+ miles away, even though my preferences were set to 50 miles, or less. Likes also don’t go away once you’ve swiped left on someone who has liked you. Maybe these issues go away if you pay for an upgraded subscription, […]

This app is HORRIBLE. You set your preferences and your distances and it shows you people from well over 100 miles + outside of your range. Pointless and a total waste of money. Ohhhhh…..and there’s no where on my android for me to cancel my subscription. I contacted customer care the day before asking them […]

I would not recommend the app to anybody. well, anybody that is looking to ACTUALLY meet somebody!! it seems like about 90% of the people I see on the app or at least over a hundred miles away. In addition, it will still feed you people that you are ready did not find a match […]

this is one of the worse app beside Match. I have blocked the same person a minimum of 10 times, and each day, that is the first person I see as a match. EVERYDAY!!! I tried blocks. i have tried swiping left, and this person is always the first person I see every day when […]

I downloaded the app set up my profile. looked at the payment options. two different pay walls. Still waiting to get verified after a week. Now my app is not showing ages and distance that they are away from me. I still haven’t paid anything because I am waiting to see if those problems get […]

This app is truly not worth it. The matches or whatever are all the same profiles repeating. If you click on one to look at the pictures and profile and go back, you have to scroll all over again. I started on my first day with 486 likes and every time, it was the same, […]

App won’t even open. Created an account last night via email, and subsequent profile. This morning, app just freezes when attempting to open on S24. Every so often, I’ll get the “Log In with Email” button, but that still won’t sign in after inputting my information. For the love of all that is holy, fix […]

Absolute waste of money– regardless if you’re using the app for free or by subscription, the app COMPLETELY disregards your set radius for potential matches. And no, I’ve not ‘run out of potentials in my area’, because the following day it will then feed me people close by…only to then shoot out to 100+ miles […]

Stayed a few years hoping it would get better. You see the same people all the time. The distant settings don’t work correctly. You constantly have to change it to see different people. It’s almost as if you have to have your settings perfectly match the users settings to a T to get them to […]

This app is confusing and I’m very upset. I have paid $59.99 and I still can’t talk to people in my inbox. why are the pricings separate in three different phases getting more and more money. why don’t you just have one price and allow access to the total site. I’m thinking about getting my […]

Ads, ads & more ads, even if you have a paid subscription, you will be interrupted with ads. To add to the offense, the ads are for non-Christian dating or hook up sites. The app is buggy, and there is no back button in case you accidentally swiped yes on a profile. The app also […]

huge problems!! I’ve paid for the 3 month subscription and 2 days later i still don’t have access to likes or messages… I know I signed up because they charged my card! everytime I try to email support i get rerouted back to my settings menu.. there is apparently no easy way to contact them […]

Scammy App vibes, not a lot of communication. The sliding features for distance do not work. It’s totally a bunch of fake profiles, and you are not able to see your likes. You have to pay to message, when you do, you can not view that. The filter options do not work at all. It […]

Age and distance constantly reset. You have to pay to see if messages are read. Always wanting you to pay for something. I had a profile like me, we matched but suddenly my message did not got responded to. I believe that person was no longer active on the app. It’s giving scam to me. […]

Avoid this one. It had good word of mouth from friends, but I ignored other reviews at my own risk and had the same experience with the paid tiers. Payments and refunds don’t process, the app will only partially load sometimes, and customer support is painfully slow and heavily scripted; so far, the response time […]

Preferences and location settings mean nothing. Seeing men 300 miles away and outside of the ages I requested is about all I got. It was very misleading to subscribe to premium for $24/3 months.. I did not unlock much of anything outside of the free version. Pretty much just the ‘go back’ button on the […]

I had some adware come up on my phone after downloading a couple of apps at the same time. I deleted those apps, and that went away. This was one of the apps. I deleted them quickly. one by one, redownloaded them with several days in between. When I downloaded this app last night and […]
