Zoosk used to be really good. Now it's just a money hungry, scam. Not only do you have to buy premium in order to just reply to someone, you also have to buy coins in order to unlock other things on the app. That is absolutely, 100% ridiculous. You can use other apps for free or for far less, with much more/better options🤷‍♀️ installed and uninstalled within 20 mins.
Suddenly loaded with ads. Constantly matched with people hours/hundreds of miles away from my location when my profile indicates a more local radius. I've also been contacted by multiple fake accounts. Even if you identify a match, you can't connect with anyone without a paid subscription. You will receive messages that you can't read or respond to without a paid subscription. And these unreadable messages are listed between tons of ads. A free membership is USELESS.
There's definitely a wide pool of people on Zoosk, which is good. I don't love the way Views work. Basically if a profile pops up in front of you on your search page, that counts as a View of the profile (as opposed to clicking on someone's profile to view it). So some guys have said that I've viewed them multiple times when that wasn't my intention. So far, I think Match's system has been better.
Poor app, terrible for dating. You need to purchase a subscription to send messages, which is basically the only feature you get if you spend money. Once you've spent, you realise you need a bunch of other subscriptions to unlock the apps other features. On top of that, unsubscribing is difficult. Primary issue if that if you don't have a subscription, you can't read messages so you're urged to buy a subscription to read them, then find out about the message spam feature that nobody replies to.
This app is unusable unless you pay a subscription ($30/month). The app sells itself as free but you cannot use messaging or do anything really without paying. One of the worst things they do, however, is edit the text you submit about yourself. For instance, if you provide a way for anyone to contact you, they will delete it and prevent it from showing. If you mention anything bad about Zoosk they will edit it out. This company is very scummy and shady, everyone should avoid them.
This app is terrible. In the 3 days that I've had it, it rarely works. Half the time it won't load any content. When it does, you have to pay to actually communicate with anyone. I finally paid for it, then the app wouldn't let me actually send messages, which is the whole reason I paid for a membership. I contacted customer support to fix the problem and they just sent me a generic email. Overall just glitchy, and frustrating to use. Definitely don't recommend.
Wholly pay2play. Want to talk to your match pay, want to swipe on more then 1 person pay. Many other sites allow you to actually talk to someone without having to shell out a subscription to just talk. Oh and the amount of adds when you use carousel is crazy and you have to watch them each for at least 5 second, you literally have to watch adds for longer then you can look at people. Don't get this app, it's a waste. Would Rate 0 if I could.
pros: the interface is great cons: too expensive explanation: while it has potential, it could be much better, you should be able to message people for free, even if its only a limited number of messages per month, and you shouldn't have to pay extra for add ons to our current subscription that should be included with the subscription in the first place. simply put, it's waay more expensive than it should be, so i may be forced to go try a different site.
I like the carousel, but your search algorithms are the absolute worst. I have set them and am still seeing matches outside my parameters. If I get a message from someone I am not interested in, hitting the X should be enough to get rid of it, but I have to block/report them to stop seeing them. Set up more search options, like age, distance, or kids, etc, easily on the app. Don't make us use the web page. I expected more for a paid subscription.
The IT department is stuck in the 90's. I get an email or notifications that doesn't even match the app. "So and so is in to you, do you feel the same?" Open the app and nothing is there. Hundreds of dead and inactive accounts. The app itself locks up constantly and I have to restart it, menu buttons frequently don't work. Example, hit search and it opens carousel instead. I emailed customer support and got crickets. But who cares, you got my 30 bucks right?!!
