Waste of time
October 21, 2019

I joined this app hoping it would be different from all other swiping apps out there, as they promote this app is its 'designed to be deleted, so I thought it's intended for people who look for serious relationship. What a fool I was. Hinge turned out to be absolutely the same as tinder, bumble etc... its full of fake profiles, players and men looking only for hookups. If you want to meet a decent, respectful and single man with serious intentions - please save your precious time and don't bother with Hinge, absolute joke that app is.

Your preference does not matter with Hinge, they'll send you profiles that are NOT what you ask for! Very low quality dating site! They've sent me every extra large fat chick matches in Denver! So appalling! Don't waste your time with this site!

By far the best dating app for meeting people that are in the peripheries of your social circles. So if you want someone that went to the same school as you or someone that isn't totally creepy Hinge is definitely better than Tinder and all of those others.

This site is dangerous. When a scammer on the site got my name and pictures and threatened me, I tried to report it to protect other users, but Hinge has no customer service and does not care about safety. And theres no refund from Hinge after the scammers on their dangerous site harm you. I'm reporting this to the FTC and filing a small claims just so Hinge gets the message... which us owned by Match.

I just downloaded hinge and went through what seemed to be an impressive profile setup allowing photos and videos and a lot of information but once I did all that the website or app doesn't seem to make sense there doesn't seem to be a way to actually search for members based upon certain criteria like age etc they just keep showing me profiles of women that are overly attractive and much younger than me which makes me think there's nobody compatible and a lot of the profiles are fake uninstalling it after it's been installed for 10 minutes

Men hide the heights

I thought I found the one. Only to find out he was short. I think the heights are a must have. On a dating site.

I'm pretty sure that this app is phony. I had lots of matches on free trial. When I upgraded my membership the majority of these matches were nowhere to be found. The only ones left were complete undesirables. I recommend not wasting your money on Hinge - it's a very dodgy app. I think it's full of fake profiles and bots, otherwise I don't get it why my matches disappeared when I was lured into getting premium membership. It's bait and switch, created for membership fees. The crooks who own and run it are just preying on our money.

Hinge only works if you pay them and if you do they will ban you then run off with your money. My proof is the Better Business Bureau, the app store comments, a quick google search, and even the reviews here. This is blatant fraud and they should be sued. Minorities are also targeted and reported for having different beliefs.

You are the product

It's free. But the Hinge algorithm knows my preferences very well, and puts the best matches out of reach unless I pay for "roses" to communicate with them. I'm then suppose to give the closest matches "roses" which is just creepy. So I have to pay for the privilege of disturbing the most suitable women.

Hinge
June 24, 2019

Worst app! Only scammers contact you.
Hinge should be ashamed for allowing so many scam artists on this site! There is no security or filters to protect clientele from offshore fraud. Don't waste your money or time on Hinge! Plus They don't give you your money back

Complete Garbage
April 28, 2021

Me and my husband had an account on here, and it was deleted for no reason. We were paying members and was able to restore the membership after we recreated another account. So if you are poly stay away.

I just took a break from OkC which has worked so well for me. I've gone out on so many dates on OkC that I got exhausted. So I decided to try Hinge. I uploaded 6 pics because it limits you to only 6 unlike other dating sites. Then you're forced to set up prompts. And you can't choose a different way to express yourself. Never mind that it's already a distorted BS. Then it only shows me "perfect images" of way too polished fraternity-type of guys. Then Hinge forces me to upgrade every second without even giving me a chance to explore it. Even Tinder is better than this degrading obnoxious app. Never again.

As many others on here have said…. I went to open the app and found I was banned. I'm in shock. I can't even imagine why. I looked at their terms of service and its a mile long and mentions everything under the sun! There is some funny business going on. I upgraded a couple times for a month. There are a ton of fake profiles with modeling photos of guys from Europe! They all have a similar story. I ask them to verify their identity. Maybe they kicked me off fir that. Maybe they only want people that are spending money on the app! And if that's the case, it's discriminating. I'm a well respected professional in my community as a mental health provider over 27 years! This app is shady and I sure wouldn't recommend it. I felt that way before I got banned so they did me a favor! I never got a chance to delete my profile. I bet they leave them on!

Useless
June 24, 2019

Tried using HINGE way back early this year; writing this review since this company has a profile on this site. Same stupid dumb premise as bumble and tinder swipe and wait for response from the opposite sex. The men is this app are idiots and want only sex and maybe even money. The men dont want to respond with cute and simple greetings just monotone one syllable words. Also a friend of mine used hinge and she had a date with a guy and she may have been raped because she didnt want to report it and also she was going through an ugly custody battle with her ex. So everyone stay away from this app as well. I only used this app for a minimum two weeks and nothing happened; just spoke to guys and that was it.

Hinge is a scam.
March 18, 2020

Scam alert! They will ban you off their site with no reason why and will not refund your money. They gave me a week when I paid for a month. I did not violate any terms of service, but yet I was told I was banned and kept my money. This site is a pure waste of time and I would not recommend this to anyone trying to find love.

Scam app!
November 5, 2021

Beware! This is not a BBB business.

I signed up less than 2 days ago, and now I am banned for no reason. I did not lie about my identity, my age, my photos were appropriate, and I barely said two sentences to people (none of which were anything other then, "Hi, how are you?"). I appealed this, since I was incredibly confused as to what terms I "violated". They told me that they cannot even tell me the category that I violated- excuse me? I read the Terms of Agreement with a fine-toothed comb, and I did not violate a thing!

Because I was banned for "violating" their terms (and with absolutely no reason as to why), they get to keep 100% of my money. 2 days of service for $30? That is a scam! I should have read the online reviews before signing up to this fraudulent service.

Don't use Hinge! Full of foreign scammers with fake pics. Problem with Hinge it doesn't post where your phone is, you can say you are from anywhere and no way to prove it. I was on the website for a week and busted like 4 scammers all in a row, its terrible! Dont waste your time, you have no idea who you are talking to... dead givaway, they write in broken English and incomplete sentences!

This site is a waste of time and money: inappopriate matches, scant search results, very few real people, pretentious and self-absorbed women - my time on Hinge was pointless until I switched to AFF96.com
It's a better site, they have more active profiles of beautiful and smart ladies, who are at the same time simple at heart and down to earth.
I don't regret leaving Hinge, but I wish Hinge had at least a few real authentic women accounts from my country. Now it is simply a money scam.

Not Consistent
February 7, 2021

I have met and used the app for approximately 10 months. The data returned is not consistent. For example; if you are not interested the person it still continues to show up. The amount of likes are not based on time or number but some other algorithm. The more you use it the more they try to make you "buy". It is just a $#*! fest, you just have to match with the one who wants to $#*! you based on how you look. And thats the way it should be! I dont care how smart the dumb $#*! is even if she has a phd.
