★★★★ Rupert F 7/1/2026 v5.56.2.1516393

★★★★ Valentina Romero 7/1/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
This has to be the worst app out there! You can't even match with people cause you can't see who likes you unless you pay!!! Just another money grab. DO NOT INSTALL!!!
★★★★ Jason Collier 6/30/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
can't even sign into it. error please try again later. etc etc absolute garbage.
★★★★ John Smith 6/30/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
This dating app is a waste of time. Too many profiles are three months or more old. If you are on this dating site and have sent a message with no response you forgot to look to see when the last time she was online and most of the time it's been 3 months or longer. I have found Facebook dating much more responsive and many more to choose from.
★★★★ Justas Domarkas 6/30/2026
Absolute dogpile of an app. Literally like 3% of profiles are real. Just don't bother.
★★★★ ThroughMyEyes 6/30/2026 v5.66.0.1516652
DO NOT DOWNLOAD 0 matches 1 million ADS I've run out of people within 50 miles of me and have 0 matches. This is a scam and not real. Nobody meets here, it's just fake profiles.
★★★★ M Car 6/30/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
Rubbish
★★★★ Paul Alfieri 6/30/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
you can't post pictures of a dog but they'll let scammers on here with fake profiles wasting time match you with people out of state or on the other side of the state. local search is worthless. this app is a,waste of time and money
★★★★ Keio 6/30/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
Android app is terrible. Web based access is better but is terribly lacking. Everything was much better 4 years ago. POF has removed every beneficial feature to aid in dating. This app really is only good for browsing now. Always the same members, very few profiles in rotation. there's no one in their data base... a collection of some of the ugliest people ever.
★★★★ Justa Guy 6/29/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
there is no way to contact customer service! the app isn't letting me read profiles and I'm not out for a one night stand so I want to know about who I may be talking to or letting in my life! absolute waste of time. received nothing but harrassment notifications. log out receive a notification straight away. log back in and it's just another one flogging the upgrade. didn't once received any messages. literally not one! and they think it's worth paying for!!!!!!! pffft
★★★★ Ashley Merriweather 6/29/2026 v5.56.2.1516393
REPORT APP AS FRAUD TO GOOGLE AND SOMEONE SUE THIS COMPANY. A bunch of people have been banned this month for no reason after paying for services, either the app has issues or new owners took over and decided to only keep certain types of people. Anyone who rates 5 star is paid to do so. This used to be my favorite dating app until literally I hadnt talked to anyone in over 3 weeks, yet suddenly I was banned for NO REASON and no one in customer service would tell me why or lift the ban.
★★★★ Brad Pazokifard 6/29/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
Plenty of catfish, I should say. so many fat and ugly people. and lots of abandoned profiles that haven't logged in for months! I'm disappointed and regret paying for premium membership.
★★★★ Estelle M 6/29/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
Fix the photo verify, I have done it, says success and then say no try again. unable to review and read messages, as it's not loading properly. To many scam profile, please be careful. Its not worth my money and has not match me with no one. I regret paying a subscription. This app is not to it's expectation as protecting anyone photo's. I'm able to screen shot photo's of other's.
★★★★ Xion S 6/29/2026 v5.65.0.1516628
Get something else. Wanted to try the app out, made an account, instantly got banned no warning. Support told me to make a new account, so I made a new account, and that account got banned too. Tried making another account, couldn't do it because my number was associated with the banned account. Made an appeal, and said that I have not even used the service yet, and they denied my appeal saying I violated the terms and agreements. Tech Support is trash. Shut this service down.
★★★★ Kal 6/29/2026
Got to be the worst app ever for customer services. They don't respond if you are locked out of your account. No point replying here POF, please respond to my emails where it actually matters. Genuinely a horrible experience.
★★★★ Inspector Clean Quick Dry Carpet Cleaning 6/29/2026 v5.67.0.1516670

Was on here a while back...2015... and it was an experience, had some entertaining fun , sometimes fun and some not so good! Gave it a 2nd chance few yrs ltr being 2026...more than a few yrs Move on,. Shite now!
★★★★ Rob Astra 6/28/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
no good. they manipulate ypur search features to show you only certain accounts
★★★★ Christopher Morris 6/28/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
has the male you're supposed to put all this information so your profile isn't hidden. the women don't even have the information filled out but yet there's their profile.
★★★★ Drew Richards 6/27/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
slow! They won't let you see a profile but charged and the clock is ticking while they "verify" my profile and picture. pay for 3 months but if they take long to finally verity you lose that time of what you paid for. Why not just ask for an official ID? There has to be a faster more efficient way with all the technology available
★★★★ J B 6/27/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
ive been using this app on and off since 2015. 95% or more of the profiles shown are dead unused profiles deliberatly not deleted by pof or archived by pof. this is why they dont show last time profile logged in. if they did and i know atleast 6 in my area alone, that havent been logged into since 2015 and probably way b4 that.
★★★★ Carolyn Crandell 6/27/2026
Too many scammers
★★★★ William Clark 6/27/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
this app is crappie. all they want is your money
★★★★ Scott Fraser 6/27/2026 v5.08.1.1513896
Won't be paying over the odds for this. Have been on a while ago . Same old faces. Can't get into my account.Hacked ? Can't reset password. Can't delete my account
★★★★ leily vafa 6/27/2026
Very misleading. Iran is listed but phone verification doesn’t accept Iranian numbers.
★★★★ jared horrocks 6/27/2026 v5.66.0.1516652
terrible app, doesn't update, paid for premium and benefits aren't available waste of money and the online site won't even let me in to cancel my subscription and the contact support option seems to be non existent.
★★★★ Ryan 7498 6/27/2026
they implemented a new system for phone numbers, but their customer support is too incompetent to help
★★★★ Regus Kelly 6/27/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
Everyone on this app who looks real has a dead account. They don't let you filter by recently on.
★★★★ Peter Unger 6/26/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
Worst dating app around.
★★★★ NotreDame20 6/26/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
I'd never pay for this clown app. They send notifications saying you have a "like" and it's fake. They will send multiple notifications for hours everyday, at the same time, then nothing. You've been warned.
★★★★ ShamelesAbyss 6/26/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
so you pay $20 to meet more people and yet all you meat is more bots. more fake accounts, more people. just trying to get you to subscribe to only fans to jump to telegram to go anywhere else but an actual date. it's sad and pathetic that men have to pay to try and meet somebody but still can't meet anybody
★★★★ David Jackson 6/26/2026
Complete rip off now, I wish this would go back the been 100% free like it use to I loved this site now it's just a big con
★★★★ Enrique Jones 6/26/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
can't cancel! you have to jump through hoops to try and cancel but you can't! the customer service number doesn't work! I've tried every way possible to cancel!
★★★★ Phil Regina75 6/26/2026 v4.71.0.1502304
Total rubbish. Completed everything taking time to give a full description, but then it asked me to sign in again. Then it tells me my password is incorrect. Don't waste your time here with this crazy app. Google should remove it. Update. It is now 4 years later since my first posting above, so I thought that by now the website would be organised so has another attempt. No difference, it did not save anything and now it does not recognise my log in details. Polite words now fail me.
★★★★ Sam Cook 6/25/2026
can't register password not working
★★★★ Ranteal 6/25/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
Pay wall like everything else. Basically you are worthless unless you pay, and there are so many individual things to pay for, it's pointless. Avoid.
★★★★ Villa Stride 6/25/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
This is bull! Pof continually deletes accounts for no reason i have made 5 accounts in less than a day just for them to be deleted! This site is nothing more than a waste of time and energy! edit: decided to try again. pof used to be a free app! now you have to pay to send first messages?! wtaf?!
★★★★ George E. 6/25/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
pretty sure its all bots now. I'm in shape I'm a chief engineer. fairly handsome and not a single match but constant ads and profiles that say message me and you can only message someone if you purchase they're all fake profiles. there may be a few profiles sprinkled in there but the majority of them are fake
★★★★ Melanie e 6/25/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
Cant log in at all
★★★★ Keith R 6/24/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
terrible experience. prostitutes wanting you to go to other apps, and matches deleting after talking for 3 days
★★★★ Ethans tv 6/24/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
there's a lot of escorts trans etc on this app some real women but it's sad men can't even be somewhat happy or have hope on dating apps anymore sick
★★★★ Danielle Brooks 6/24/2026 v5.67.0.1516670
Omg pof stands for plenty of felons every single guy on there seems to have a record I talked to 5 guys all 5 have records this site is trash I suggest women try a safer site. plus they will ban your ap if a member makes a false report on you
