Site is a fraud
April 3, 2023

I joined based on the profiles they displayed. Once I joined those profiles did not exist. They have the most attractive people view your profile only to find out if you are interested in them they don't exist. Early on I sent a question to their customer service as to why some profiles were high lighted in a blue box, never heard back. Don't waste your money on this scam.

Not great
December 29, 2020

Very difficult to contact Our time in the first place. They send you photos of men who are older than you've specified or far away at the other end of the country. They could make helpful suggestions to their members (particularly men) who could try to smile in their photos, or they are so far away from the camera you can't see what they look like. They should also make it obligatory to post a photo on their profile. I don't like having to pay for all the extra bits, they should just charge one price for everything.

Joining just gets you a profile and views of other subscribers. Then when someone responds to you, you have to pay extra to respond back. To not go public and just have others who you want to see you, you have to pay extra. It goes on and on! Many other things you would expect to be within the subscription are not there! Plus, they have advertisements of many products on the right side of the screen. I cancelled within 24 hours and they still didn't want to give me a refund! Contacting my credit card company! No receipt was sent either!

Very disappointed...
November 13, 2021

I finally decided to give this site a try. Yes I'm 61 but I'm not stupid. I paid 40.00.The app has never worked.
Every time I tried to log in on my laptop it said I was not authorized. What? I call technical support. The guy fixes the problem. Two days later the same thing happened. This got old fast. They gave me my money back. I didn't ask for my money back. I'd already connected with a few guys. I called back. They gave me a free week. All of my photos were removed and the one I added below is sideways! Then my account ended. I paid 40.00 to use this website for one week. What a ripoff! Maybe its a sign!

Don't Bother
April 3, 2020

Possibly the worst online dating experience so far. First of all the site itself (and app) is crude at best. Doesn't provide valid real time information. I've had the same number of emails in my message box for days even though new messages have come in. So it looks like nothings changed but in reality it has.

Way, way, way too many scammers who aren't paying but add their phone numbers to the middle of their fake profile. And somehow this site doesn't filter out crap like that.

Every review I read about OurTime seemed to suggest it was a good site. It is NOT. It's terrible. More fake profiles than real. No way to actually know you has viewed or liked you recently.

Never again. I am signed up for three months - another scam they developed. But I have cancelled future payments and I guarantee I wont be coming back to this site - even during my remaining time period. Just not worth it.

Our time review
June 3, 2016

This site is aimed at the over 50s market, presumably widowers & divorced people. I fall into neither category as Ive been a bachelor all my days and im now 61. Im not retired so I still have disposable income and ive been using online dating for a couple of years now, as a way to meet new friends and maybe even something more, if luck was to smile upon me. Ive had some great dates and I like this site a lot. Its not the only site ive used so I do have a good basis for comparison, ive tried a few others and would say this stands up to most, apart from perhaps Primetimelove.com which is a current personal favorite of mine. But generally, this site is ideal for your needs as there are plenty of users and the site has clearly been designed in a way that makes everything simple for us golden oldies.

Not very helpful
January 3, 2017

Lots of men younger than 50 (early forties, looking for 45 year old women...). Lots of really poor pictures - they should not be allowed to be uploaded if they are blurry, or downright scary. One guy looked like a serial killer!. Oh, don't get me started about the men that have no picture and have filled out no information and then they message me! Also, they match me up with men that are 10 years older than the max age I specified, or they smoke, or they live in Maine! I have had my share of catfish to scare away as well but I'm good at spotting this now (try POF if you want to get a scammer every 2 minutes!). All in all I have been on Our Time for about 2 months and had one date. That's it!

No one responds …ever!
November 2, 2021

I signed back up few days ago and had a couple of interested initial messages but then nothing.
I then changed photos and sent a few (what I thought were good) intro messages to a few men ….
No one's ever responded!

IMO there are ….

1- Lots of fake acts (who uses their passport photo on their dating profile!)
2- lots of say they're 57 and look closer to 70
If not older
3- Lots seem to set up accounts to check out the site but don't pay membership and you can't tell that's the case
4-I think OurTime uses some sort of algorithm that holds / stops messages.
I had someone ask if I had seen his message and I said no I had not.
He sent again and I saw for the first time!

I'm canceling my one month membership since this is a complete waste of money and time.

Sad to say sites like ZOOSK tends to be better but not by much!

Many Fake Profiles
February 3, 2016

When you get 5 flirts and 4 inaccessible notes of interest in your inbox which can only be read if you pay for a subscription, all before you've even filled out your profile or posted your photo, you should immediately know that this site is loaded with fake robot profiles. This site is an automated scam designed to separate gullible people from their money. I've kept meticulous records of my interactions with the site and have forwarded them to the Consumer Division of the Dept of Justice and to a topnotch class action legal firm. These scammers need to be shut down!

We wasted hours trying to help mom to setup an account. She is 80. Our father passed away a year and a half ago and she was finally ready to find a new friend and have some kind of relationship.

We should have looked for reviews before trying this site and app! Now, we know better!

We setup a profile using a PC and then tried to help Mom with the app on her iphone (it is her only piece of technology).

Their app kept giving us error after error. We called and spoke with customer service, who was not able to fix it and "had to escalate".

So we get an email 2 days later that "our account is terminated in the interest of our community". What a load of BS.

LOL! Wow! So then we look for REVIEWS - ALL after 2019 are TERRIBLE. 1-2 stars! Here and consumeraffairs.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Avoid - It's Terrible!
August 24, 2020

For anyone thinking of upgrading to the subscription service – forget it!

As soon as you do, the "Views" and "Likes" dry up, unless of course you pay again to "Boost" your profile.

You'll be presented with loads of ‘matches' who live literally hundreds of miles away!

You'll be blocked by some users without even interacting with them!

You'll be ignored, just like the free sites.

Ladies: No matter what they tell you, putting up a photo and a few words in your bio will not attract some George Clooney/Brad Pitt look-a-like to sweep you off your feet. Get real!

Guys: honestly, you're as well heading over to Plenty of Fish. You'll be ignored there as well, but at least you don't have to pay for the privilege.

OurTime had the nerve to steal my profile information from Match.com and then try to sell it to me after filling up my email with erroneous winks and blinks and stars and loads of other crap. It even decided which body shape and hair color were mine (it didn't get either of those right). I believe each and every message, wink or other dating spam I got was made up by the company n order to get to me buy their KoolAid, because the site just made up so much GARBAGE complied from Match.com. They also used my pictures from Match without my permission.

I did not want to become an online dating expert, but now, I guess I am. The upshot is that I removed my profile and hopefully now they won't be bothering me anymore.

I signed up, created a profile, started conversations with 25-30 gentlemen to get to know them. One month later, my profile disappeared, all of my ongoing messages disappeared and after calling customer service 38 times during different times of the day I got the same recording "There is no one in customer service to help you right now, please call back later". BEWARE!

I signed up for a trial on a Friday. It was evident by Saturday the app and website were crap and didnt work, ie. Very slow, links not working, difficult to navigate. Customer service is closed on Sat. And Sun., so I called first thing Monday morning to cancel my membership and was told Id be charged $22.00 for one full month of service. That was NOT authorized!

One hour later I noticed an additional $3.99 charge from Ourtime in my card. I tried calling Ourtime back and they had BLOCKED my number!

I called my bank and cancelled my card and filed fraud charges. This company needs to be investigated, fined and shut down.

It's not that bad!
March 21, 2023

I'm a 78 year old male, adequate looking. I've been on about a month and have had 4 coffee dates. You can separate out the scammers and fakes pretty easily if their picture looks like a Hollywood model and also if they are from out of state. For the men, shave off those darn beards and mustaches and present yourself in words (honest words) that would be appealing to a woman.

Tons of fake profiles
August 11, 2021

I'm glad I quit it. I found a legit site J4Dating.com -they still work honestly in this shady dating industry and they have real profiles of genuine women. If it doesn't scare you away that most of these women are from Eastern Europe, go ahead for it!
My efforts were rewarded and I met my bride there, that's why I recommend it.
Having lost plenty of time and money on Ourtime and other sites I realize that it's very difficult to find anyone real there. It's important to use your common sense and just quit it!
If you haven't started using it yet, don't enter this ghost city with absolutely no activity. They have tons of fake profiles, you can contact anyone - but you won't get any response.
At first you get lots of views, likes and messages - that is all happening before you pay and it all comes from bots. So don't get your hopes up!

Beware fake profiles
August 2, 2017

I chatted with 5 different seemingly good choices which all turned out to be fake. Deeply upsetting when you think the photos and profiles are real and you are begunning to connect. After only 2 weeks I have got savvy about which ones are suspicious. They try to get you to give your email and phone details etc and to chat off the site.Don't fall for it until you are really sure. They take photos off the internet and will often charm you initially mentioning your beautiful smile. You start to get a hunch eg grammar or spelling a bit poor and a feeling something doesn't quite add up.
I stopped my subscription as they are providing a fraudulent service. It's all very distressing after such a short time I feel emotionally drained. Ourtime needs to clean up its site. Do not join and if you do Be VERY WARY.

This is a shocking company. I took a month's trial, within 14 days wanted to cancel and I'm still being charged. Customer service is non existant and any numbers provided don't work, I'm looking at legal action now. No way will I provide payment details for you to scam me again

I signed up for 1 month and that is all. Kept sending the same people to me. I got out and they kept my profile on the site. A lot of scammers but you can filtered thru all of that junk and they use models for their homepage. So funny.
Also, never give out your email and phone number until you have emailed thru OurTime website. Many many times for each person you show interest. So many will say it is their last day so they want your email and phone number. Mark that ignorant. - you are setting yourself up for problems.
For us, ladies, I'm not interested in pursuing a man, as Steve Harvey says, the woman is the prize. I bow and agree to this statement.
