Interesting experience.
September 7, 2017

It did not take long to meet that "someone special."
That said, all the gimmicky stuff one is asked to click through, and coins/tokens to purchase is tacky.
But hey, I did meet a beautiful woman via Zoosk.
Thanks!

Zoosk Zucks!
September 5, 2017

Zoosk is functionally impaired! Unfortunately I signed up for six months on a recommendation from a friend who only tested it... can't wait for the contract to expire! I'll give it one star for...?... sorry, can't think of anything good about it!

I joined for 6 months around the end of July 2017. I was flooded with views for the 1st 10 to 14 days. Almost 500 of them. If I deleted any, they came back. Funny how the views and the notifications are not in sync with each other. I also get notifications of views, but they disappear when I click on them, and a different view profile shows up.
Funny how there is no search function to view or contact a member by typing in a user name. That is a giveaway that the whole system is controlled.
You want me to spend another $10/month so that NON PAYING MEMBERS can read my messages? YOU ARE OUTTA YOUR@#$%&*@#$ MIND! Think about the logic here! Buy gifts? NOBODY CARES ABOUT THOSE!
My contact wall is beyond crowded. More than half of them I've never made contact with. All it takes is a view and any response, or a maybe both ways on carousel to wind up there.
The "Smart Pick" is pretty stupid! Not even close to what I'm looking for. How can you be positive or negative with a micro thumbnail picture that is hard to see, and notice that no user name is given.

Now for the positive.
I have had some responses to messages, ranging from they are already dating someone to back and forth chats eventually resulting in phone conversations with real live women. Although I haven't met my match yet, I have 2 lady FRIENDS that I didn't have before, and whom I can call anytime. They are "buddies". No romantic inclinations, but we think alike and get along, and there is nothing wrong with having good friends. One is local, and one is not.
The Carousel matches have been mostly pretty accurate except for distance. Just how am I going to cultivate a relationship hundreds of miles away, although closer distances that are reasonable do show up. 50/50 on that one.
I get many views from older women looking for a "Boy Toy". It seems that Zoosk generates quite a few views that really never took place, anywhere from 2 minutes to a few hours ago from launching the app, but not always showing in the notifications. More age appropriate women seem to be much less common.

All in all, credibility is an issue. Zoosk generates things to create an illusion of activity.
Yes there are real live good people there. You have to put in the time in order to gain anything worthwhile, but there are no guarantees. I'll do my remaining 5 months and decide whether to continue or not. Anything significant, I'll try to update this review.

This is a money gouging fraud. It says it's a free dating app. But once you download it they want a 75 dollar subscription fee then another 99 dollars in order to purchase coins to use on the sight for things like messaging or what they called super searching which only ever brought up matches that were clearly bots then when I finally caught on and wanted to cancel my service they wanted to charge me another 25 dollars as a cancellation fee. Do yourself a favor and just take 200 dollars to a bar and light it on fire that will get you much closer to meeting someone than this sight ever will.

I met someone on Zoosk, and we've been hitting it off pretty well so far. Thanks, Zoosk! :) I haven't figured all the features of Zoosk, but somehow it worked for Dave and I! :)

Site wants to charge you for everything- even to review a message from someone- this was my first and last time on a dating website- fortunately I was able to met someone very special.

Lots of better sites
August 29, 2017

Hi. I have tried dating different sites before and decided I would try zoosk. As on all sites you may meet some scammers and sometimes meet someone you date or at least end up with a good friend. BUT twice on zoosk my account has been hacked. This time zoosk blocked my account " for my protection". I will get a refind for two of the 3 months. Nice but what about the nice connections I have just met. I can not contact them to let them know what happened. Only way to get back online with zoosk is to create a new account with a new email. I dont have another email and don't need to create on just for zoosk.
SO. The conculsion is I would not recommended using zoosk! Sorry for the people who think I am rude as I can not respond to your messages.

While the site has a pretty hefty monthly fee if you don't sign up for several months at once, it was able to put me in touch with significantly more women than I thought it would. I just got a 1 month subscription to try it out and already found a great girlfriend! I'm really happy with how it all worked out, and would suggest just giving a month a try if you're on the fence.

I was very much enjoying Zoosk and encouraging others to join because of their photo security. And the safe way I've felt comfortable chatting with gentlemen. Then out of the blue I got a solid blue screen that read a Zoosk administrator cancelled my subscription. No explanation. No chance to discover why this happened. So now I'm disappointed in this site. In that I'm thinking that someone must have said something negative. But there should have been an investigation and I should have been given some sort of information.

I would like to get back on this site. I had been chatting with a few lonely men states away as friends.

But I don't like the way I was treated recently!

Zoosk gives you the opportunity to stay private while evaluating many available ladie's potential match possibilities. The hard part is getting some to reply, but then I was not always replying as well. This actually forced me to tighten up my search criteria, and find the exact woman for me. Once I found her, I used my personality and sincerity to message her and she responded. It worked out perfectly.

Save Your $!

I've met 3 self-professed gentlemen. Two got dirty on the phone, camera. The last one turned into a pervy octopus on our first date!

Staying home with my cats is truly a better option. My boys always respect, love me unconditionally!
