Last time I used Tinder there were a lot of false profiles, like literally pictures ripped of the Internet and used to scam people. I heard they kind of solved that so I might give it a try now that I am single again

Disappoints
July 10, 2017

So tinder, the infamous hook-up site. What a disappointment. They do have the best looking girls on there. But none of them want what this site is about. Now I am a married man so I dont have a picture of my face. But I am open and honest in my profile. Ive chatted with a quite a few and only hooked up with one. Part of the problem is the Geography. Only gives you miles. Well 15 miles is great but which way are those miles. See I have a gameplan on how I operate. I tend to look for women who are really close to eork or on my drive home. This allows me to maximise my time. Eho wants to waste precious time travelling. So when im at work and i get a match within 30 miles. Fantastic, but its 30 miles north. It wont work for me. So if you're a married man and won't put your face in your profile, dont have a lot of free time, I would say this site is a difficult one to score with. The only good thing is its pretty much free. But remember that saying, you get what you pay for.

Totally fake!
February 11, 2017

It's definitely a rip off! You swipe everyone to the right, and you get nothing back which is total BS. It's funny you swipe everybody and their mother to the right and you get not one person that matches you! I paid for one month and I will never pay for tinder again! Definitely a total rip off!

Worse once you pay
February 19, 2022

I joined for free, and the site told me that I had 56 likes, and lots of messages. So I paid. Once they had my money I had 26 likes, not 56 and most of those were clear fakes from the other side of the country. I have not had one new like, and only one message since I paid. Obviously bait and switch, so save your money.

Interesting concept
June 15, 2018

The app is super easy to use but just swiping left to like someone although the thought of just liking and not liking someone by just swiping does add fuel
To the idea that dating is becoming more like our throw away society.

For those of you stuck at the "finding people in your area" screen, make sure you've given permission to your Kindle to find your location in Settings. You'll be stuck at the opening screen until you do that.

Banned for what?
September 13, 2019

Banned, no clue why and tinder won't tell me why. I was talking to someone, everything was going well and I was banned. Contacted tinder and their response was "Apparently you violated standards" wouldn't tell me how though. I was tinder plus

Bad
November 13, 2022

The story from this site. I met a girl. I liked everything, although I behaved quite strangely. And then they send a notification that you need to pay to continue the correspondence. I paid, I write to her further, and it turns out that it was a bot. I do not advise you to use it! But I recently found a better site. All real people, and you don't even have to pay. Try this https://goo.su/szNE0EX

They charged me almost $50 to subscribe tender gold for a month, the next day I was banned! Without any legitimate reason...
"They do not participate in consumer affairs program" so keep your money from scammers please.

This dreadful dating web site is getting worse. Lots of man-hating, heavily-tattooed, obese, roly-poly chavs. Many grown so unfit they won't post real profile photos. Lots with pet dogs to massage low IQ neurotic egos. Some keep asking (sic) where have all the good people gone or declare they're waiting for Prince Charming / Mr Right. They've still not got it. Lots of un-dateables with immaturity, ignorance and limited education. Few gym members amongst those who've done nothing to look after or improve themselves. Many bigotted views posted in aggressive, poorly-written profiles. BS dysfunctional narratives that ask users not to keep pestering them for hot dates or ONS. Men haven't grown so desperate they want to date them. "Nobody wants to talk on here". Little wonder why.

Fake profiles
November 3, 2015

If you are seriously looking to hook up or looking for a relationship avoid this site. Many of the women that i chatted to were obviously working in a call centre cutting and pasting set responses and questions and its funny how everyone of them trys to get you on video chat for a small fee naturally. Your profile gets flooded with upto 300 winks and msgs from smokin hot 23 yr olds from around the world who just happened to pick you as the man of their dreams. Despite you being 30 years older and clearly stating you don't want contact from children of their age.

I don't know how it's working purely they are smart in earning money. I took a monthly premium membership after taking that one still I couldn't get other profile likes or. Msgs anything please. Prove that you people have a good service rather than robbing money from common people. Waiting for the response even I get any confirmation of payment this is mail id *******@gmail.com

Wasn't that established so we let him have a friend you then gave him a peer power trip and fined me for typing too fast and having typos I have always given it out but not to people who genuinely aren't grateful of the person I left them with

Banned for NO REASON!
August 12, 2018

Horrible experience with Tinder. Permanently banned with no explanation as to why. Was told that I had violated their Terms of Service. Knowing full well that I hadn't done anything remotely close to violating the T. O. S., I contacted their customer service department. Received a generic pre-programmed reply almost 1 WEEK LATER telling me to review their terms of service for more information.
Tinder's Stalin-esque tactics:
1.) Arbitrarily banned without cause.
2.) No information provided as to reason for being banned.
3.) No right to know who the accusser is.
4.) No appeals process in place.

Bottom line: Stay very far away from Tinder!

Frustrating match site
February 9, 2018

I paid the $19.99 to join. Then I find that I cannot narrow my age search without upgrading, I cannot see my likes without upgrading, and cannot find out more information of my likes without upgrading. This is the most frustrating match site. I have used "Match" dating site in the past and it is so much more straight forward regarding pricing and easier to navigate. I couldn't get a refund (of course) but was told I could continue to use even though I cancelled my subscription. It's worthless to me due to all of the above reasons, so I just threw out $19.99.

Pics are 20 plus years old. Some post no pics or post pics of their wife & kids or even pics when they were 10 years old. Nobody serious. Juvenile attitudes. Its a joke. Wouldn't recommend at all. PATHETIC!

I have to say that Tinder has the WORST customer service/support I have ever seen.
I sent a message 3 days ago and still no reply.
I've had issues before with Tinder and had to deal with an incompetent guy who just stated the obvious options when of course I had already tried them all and beyond before resorting to contacting you.
U need to get a better system: call or live chat
I am paying good money for an app that has no customer service whatsoever.

I was in Cabo for 11 days trying to meet people to hang out with. No matter what distance I plugged (up to 161km!) in or age range (27 to 45) I still only got 1 or 2 profile choices per day! How is that even possible. I even got Tinder Gold hoping that it might help. $100cdn layer, still no matches! Of course they did not reply to my requests for support.
I tried restarting my phone, uninstalling and deleting my account several times to no avail.
