Reviews for Wink - Friends & Dating App

Nice idea, horrible execution. At least half the profiles are obviously spam. Yes I reported them, but it's just too many to keep having to do so. And what's left are largely empty profiles. The interest system also honestly sucks at this point because there's a set, limited list of options and you can't add anything original.

Says you can explore nearby but it doesn't work cause I have it set to 5 miles and am getting people across the country. Can't search/filter based on interests either. It forces you to verify but won't let you view verified only unless you pay. It makes you pick a "vibe" (friendly/flirty/spicy) but won't show you other people's or let you filter by it unless you pay.

It was ok with the app, like you could meet people easy but most of them were bots who were fake so I think if there was a way to maybe make it so you need either like a phone number or something to make a profile would help with all of the scam. Also it wouldn't let me delete my account so I just had to erase all that the app would let me erase and then delete the app with my account still on it so with both of those issues, that's why I'm giving 2 stars

I am very dissapointed in this app. First, everything was going great! But it glitches at times and I can't see messages. I always get logged out and I have to wait for a while for it to log me back in. My gems sometimes glitches and its annoying. Whenever I try to add someone, there is a error most of the time. I decided to delete my old account and make a new one. But literally it saves nothing, my info, my bday, and more. Its so annoying. I am dissapointed.

It's a neat app. I've met quite a few people on there. There's just one thing I wish you could do. And that's instead of having to search someone by their id, you could just look up the name and get some results and go through the results til you find the person. Imo, it would be easier if you like lose contact with a person bc you lost your old acc or something.

Before an update you can see everyone who sent you a friend request for a limited time which was a nice feature which many people liked. However with the new update now you have to pay to see who sent a request. But many people are shown around only 20 people upon joining. Then there are no more results. THIS MEANS SOME PEOPLE CAN NO LONGER USE THE APP AT ALL. (I could only add through requests sent to me but that feature is no longer an option, the app is currently UNUSABLE)

The app is decent when it works... The app worked fine when I first installed it and I remained logged in, but after it asked me to log in with a verification number sent to my phone, every code it sent me ended up saying "incorrect code". What good is a security/verification system if it doesn't work for your normal users? I reinstalled the app and get the same thing. Trying to log in using Google forces you to create a new account... No thanks, just skip this one.

I swiped about 20 people and thought I ran out of swipes for the day. No, I ran out of swipes forever (unless I pay money, of course.) When you add someone the app automatically sends a hello message so its not even the person talking to you. Everything else like the profile setup is okay, but there's other apps very similar which don't put up a permanent pay wall after just 20 people that likely uninstalled already anyways.

This app isn't great. After this last update, everything has been on the fritz. It asks me to sign in whenever I opened the app. It made my phone glitch and turned off my bluetooth. It also kicked me out a lot. I no longer get messages. Like at all. I also liked the feature that allowed you to look at the person's profile when they give you their snap. I would consider redownloading Wink if these problems are rectified.

Sucks that when i get a new phone and i get the more updated version of the app suddenly i can't login with my Snapchat like i was able to before and had to create a new account. To add on, after sometime I've been talking to one person on here and our conversation that we've had for some time had disappeared mid conversation and i can't even access it through their profile either. It's been about 2 weeks. We're lucky enough that we followed each other outside the app or else all was lost

I've been using it for a year and a half almost and it's buggy. If one huge bug is fixed, another one is introduced. I also can't tell if people even get my messages right now because nobody is responding at all. I have 200+ friends and not one responds?? Even the CURRENTLY active ones?? If it wasn't buggy, it would be great for 13-17 year olds. Also. Definitely needs a way to verify age. It's way too easy for child predators to use.

This app's concept is good, but, there are many glitches and bugs in there. When I first downloaded it, it was nicely working. When a couple of times passed; it started to freeze. The sections were always "loading" and the problem was not my internet. I couldn't accept friend requests, because clicking did nothing. The screens are loading, many of the clickings are not working... It makes me think about logging out and in to try again, but I couldn't even log in back! The app kept glitching.

Pros: Good UI. Nice to be able to start chatting without dropping a load of cash. Cons: 99.999% of all the accounts on here are either scammers or bots. They all want to push you to chat on other platforms and even though they say they are in the USA, you can very clearly tell they are not by the way they communicate. So you are going to have to sift through a lot of garbage in order to find that one real person on this platform.

I don't usually leave reviews but I want to see this resolved. Would be a great app if it would verify, it lags a bit and the keyboard disappear when I type. Need better ways to earn diamonds, some of us can't afford to put money into an app, and seeing people that I'd to connect with is a little discouraging. Also what is the arcade, because I don't have an option for this. Other than that I've met some cool people on it

Good for meeting people. I've made a friend who's a lot like me on there and started talking to some pretty cool people. The only issue I have is they made it, so you have to pay a subscription to see who adds you after 24 hours, and they don't always show before the 24 hours is up. It also has a feature, so you can see one person who's added you over 24 hours ago, per ad you watch, but when I click the watch ad button, nothing happens.

After about a month or two after creating my account, I logged back into the app to which it prompted me to enter my bday after realizing it was making me create a new account. Couldn't recover it despite using the same log-in method. The account literally disappeared into thin air. Dont know if my profile will still show as an active user to swipe through. Can't even delete my second acc since it keeps saying, "Account setup still in progress." It's frustrating, to say the least...

The app is okay. They take away verification if you add/remove photos and remove it without telling you. Now they say "you can't send a message without being verified", when I've been verified for a while, and texting people who were NOT verified. It's ridiculous, and never got any notification for my verification being taken away or any reason. Just open the app, go to respond to chats, and can't even open them without being "verified". Poor app, and thinking of finding other apps

The free version is very limited. Unless you pay, getting a match is basically impossible. 20$ a week to just use basic features like swiping or seeing who liked you is absolutely insane. Even then, you're getting people thousands of miles away, and not everyone wants to do long distance. This isn't an app I would go for if you're trying to meet people in real life.

This app was really good. But then, all of a sudden, I can't edit my bio or add pictures or change what gender I want to see. It keeps giving me "an unexpected error has occured." That has been happening for the past 3 days. I've logged out and logged back in. I've uninstalled and re-installed the app. Nothing has worked. And then, you can't view all of the person's interests and bio. It is literally cut off. Please fix this

Unless you're going to pay for this app don't even bother considering using it. Even though it lets you put a geographical radius using the free version, I was not shown a single person who was in the Denver metro area in about a week to 2 weeks of swiping. They do say that they'll extend the range slightly, but I was being shown people in New York like every day. With that kind of range, there's no way that you're going to randomly swipe right on somebody who randomly swiped right on you.
