★★★★ Fortune Maabela 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
Your date site is racist. Blacks never match with whites.

charged me for gold when I didnt sign up for it, its not in my play store subscriptions or in the manage payments on tinder itself, I reached out to tinder to have it turned off and a refund got no response and the following week they attempted a $20 purchase again without prompt or the app showing i even have a payment stored
★★★★ Dylan Burns 6/30/2026
Banned for “promoting sex work/compensated relationships,” which is completely false. I appealed, but it didn’t feel like anyone actually reviewed it-just a generic “you’re still banned” response. I also spent money on the app and got no refund after losing access. Terrible support and unfair process.

★★★★ Stephen Garrison 6/30/2026
App in functionality seems fine. Biggest issue is I requires immediate biometic data just to be visible to other uses. You have to provide a full face immediate scan. I understand for full paid users to special privileges on the app. but you can't even be a base level participant without which makes the app not useable for anyone with concerns of protecting their private data. In summary Tinder wants your biometrics before anyone can see or respond to you. Red flag for basic use.
★★★★ Zachary Wennstedt 6/30/2026 v16.2.1
*****Warming do not download this app! in my opinion the match group is one of the biggest scammers and crooks on planet Earth! DO NOT waste money with any match group company! They are infested with spam and utilize it to trick people into spending money. I'm going to work with a lawyer about launching a class action. their spam reporting is a joke and prostitutes will get your account banned for trying to report them. This app and match group is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!!! ruined dating apps!!!!
★★★★ Always Justice 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
Don't download. You cant even talk to anyone without giving tinder $20 a week.
★★★★ Het Shah 6/30/2026 v17.22.2
lots of bugs
★★★★ inkogni 6/30/2026 v17.23.4

★★★★ BriBri brianna 6/30/2026 v16.33.0
I think tender is pretty cool, I just don't think it's cool anymore, as it used to be like, there are none matches for me and I get a whole lot I just feel like this is a dead app in my opinion
★★★★ Dorian Bebek 6/30/2026 v13.19.0
ev3rything is bugged, reward system, no matches i dont mind, daily login bonjs restarting randomly and adding randomly on the same day and so on also tried to verify myself over 200 times in past 2 months never working
★★★★ Jeffriy Dahan 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
Scammer dating app. Did not get any refund with my promo redemption code I've just redeemed and get banned with no reason
★★★★ Dane Sorensen 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
Don't bother. It's not even about how good the app is, the social climate has moved on. You'll rarely get a match; if you do, they'll never message back. It's not worth the extra exposure to scammers.
★★★★ Farid Orujov 6/30/2026
If you respect your time and yourself do not download this app. It pushes you to pay for membership to get boosts, then it matches you with fake accounts that dissapear within 10 mins or after 1 message.
★★★★ alex 6/30/2026
They banned my account with no reason. I just subscribed it with tinder plus 12 months and that happen. They are totally scammer. I used redemption code and they did not even try to refund it. SCAM SCAM SCAM.
★★★★ P T 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
A lot of fake profiles and some profiles even reuse similar edited photos. Paid for a month while here in Japan because it was suggested as the best for meeting people. Most who are willing to meet are hostesses looking for customers or other more shady services. Good luck of you are gonna bother with this app.
★★★★ Cuddal Perodo (Garfi) 6/30/2026
Sucks cock. Don't waste your time.
★★★★ Lim 6/30/2026
too many updates
★★★★ Satyam Singh 6/30/2026 v17.23.4

dont get any right swipe
★★★★ Ernests Saulītis 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
Viss ir aiz paywall, galīgā huiņa
★★★★ Deserae Dawn 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
I hate the new UI and how it organizes people who like me into different categories. The sort function doesn't work and won't expand to give me my sort options. If I do see guys who like me, it's all the same guys. I ended up blocking dudes I've swiped left on so that they don't keep showing up on my feed. The app is slow and having every feature behind a paywall is obnoxious. I just cancelled my subscription.
★★★★ GIORGI AIRAPET 6/30/2026 v17.22.2
Worst customer service. they just collecting money. that's all they do. company doesn't care public transparency through the users
★★★★ JAYSWAL KUSH 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
FAKE FAKE FAKE never been this frustrated . I have left no words to report or abuse this app anymore .
★★★★ Jason Keel 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
bots and more bots. A bot contacted me within 5 minutes . You can't even send a message without paying to send a message after you already pay $40 a month What the f***. I've had this app less than 30 minutes and I have already canceled Don't waste your time or money this app is a scam. Also beware deleting your account does not cancel your subscription. Cancel your subscription at your Play store or Apple store. It will keep charging you even if you delete your Tinder account. $40 gone.FUTinder
★★★★ Yegan 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
i got the gold subsription but no matches, awful app
★★★★ Tarun Kumar 6/30/2026 v17.22.2
previous algorithm was generous enough to show profiles that liked you, now it doesn't, forcing you to buy the gold, it's already hard enough to get matches, and now it's it's even more awful
★★★★ nick stanley 6/30/2026 v17.23.4
10 years zero success, ive used this app for 10 years and it has not got me a single date or even a real female companion, id rate this 0 stars of i could, probably swiped millions of people, the only responses I get are from guys, or trans people, or escorts, 0 out of 5
★★★★ Richard 6/30/2026
Trash app and horrible idea, has been popular years past, now purely for hookup. Most of the people left the app, it not good for dating and has too many bots. I would highly recommend deleting this trash and meeting actual people.
★★★★ Muku 6/30/2026 v17.22.2
tinder....I will not elaborate further
★★★★ Jason “The Archduke of Hearts” King 6/30/2026
waste of time. don't even bother unless you want to pay 70 bucks just to see who likes your profile. mostly all scammers and fake profiles
★★★★ Donovan Krager 6/29/2026 v17.23.4
the app throttled the visibility of my profile after I paid. ridiculous.
★★★★ B L 6/29/2026 v17.23.4
"you've run out of people in your area!" except I haven't. I know I haven't, because I have likes sitting there exactly matching my search criteria. Tinder just wants money.
★★★★ Destiny Chukwuma 6/29/2026 v17.15.0
please please you guys to unblock my account I did nothing wrong with the account after subscribing it what kind of waste of money is that my name is destiny
★★★★ Shadow's Let's Play's (Shadow's Let's Play's) 6/29/2026 v17.23.4
this app is designed to make make men pay my sister has the app and she's got hundreds of likes and messages then on mine I'm lucky to have one my sister pays for basic membership and I pay for the highest one and I get nothing what a joke tinder is a scam just ripping men off who are putting themselves out there to find someone
★★★★ Fredo Corleone 6/29/2026 v17.22.2
it doesn't work
★★★★ Matthew McHan 6/29/2026 v17.22.2
I've paid probably around 500$ for this app. I got the platinum and everything. The gender disparity is so great that ill get like one like a week from rather people not my type or girls trying to peddle their OF. Wouldn't recommend for guys
★★★★ kazz Christopher 6/29/2026 v17.23.4
it doesnt work right. showing me someone I know who lives very close to me saying they are 60 miles from where I am. B/S!!!
★★★★ Amanda Kassing 6/29/2026 v17.21.0
this site is a joke. they suspend you and then u can't cancel your account its a huge Rip off like everything else post Covid. customer support is non existent
★★★★ Brother Aegon 6/29/2026
Pay to use, u cant do nothing until u oay and there are ads.
★★★★ Shane Swofford 6/29/2026 v17.22.2
I used this app several years ago and it wasnt bad at all. Corporate greed entered! It's INSANE to pay what they want for tinderplus, gold or platinum. You dont get many free swipes in one day, and half of them are bots or fake profiles so you just waste your time. There's no way in hell im paying $30 a WEEK to use this garbage!
★★★★ Mike Z 6/29/2026 v17.22.2
tinder knows what they're doing by locking every single first message behind a paywall - that's how prospective matches see your profile and how someone sells themselves. all the swipes and priority likes won't do you any good if everybody else isn't paying for the platform. the wrong things are monetized with malice, and the right things are monetized even further. but because they've been able to change how people conceive of dating we're forced onto this dumbass techbro ponzi scheme app.
★★★★ Mar Er 6/29/2026 v17.22.2
I had a date with an guy who threatened me and tried to force me into his hotel room. I escaped, but when I reached safety, my Tinder account was already suspended. For 3 weeks I contacted Tinder Support, sent screenshots and his photos. They refused to investigate, didn't ban him, and kept my account banned. Now they don't even reply. Shame on you, Tinder. You protect predators and punish victims.
★★★★ Md Moinuddin 6/29/2026 v17.22.2
no matches, less interaction
★★★★ Hudda Hudda 6/29/2026 v17.22.2
ekdam khrb app h bhai
★★★★ Jack M (xJakkz) 6/29/2026 v15.13.0
What is the point. If you're not in the top percentage of attractive males. Your profile will never be shown. It is not a dating app. It is a hookup app. Fix the algorithm, if you want men to actually consider using the app.
★★★★ Miguel Vasquez 6/29/2026 v17.23.4
Terrible, you're forced to pay for the most expensive subscription to get anything even remotely decent; the basic subscription is a joke.
