★★★★★ "Refund please. Definitely not enough people on here. I paid for premium and it was not worth it. The concept is good (Christian Dating), but not enough people. Couldn’t get a refund from the App Store for the premium purchase. Wasted $25." - Travel121212

It’s got to be me
I have been on several app to see if they are different and the only match I get seems to be bots. I really didn’t give it a chance honestly but with interaction I just don’t think I need to be there. I feel it’s a waste of time.
Fake app
Fake reviews and fake responses to reviews. Been on app and it’s a ghost town.
Too expensive
Too pricey and free option is extremely limited.
Payment issues
I paid for 6 months worth of premium and didn’t get what I paid for. I had to switch phones and Apple accounts but the way Ark stupidly sets up their payment, it doesn’t recognize that I’ve paid for premium despite still being on the same Ark account with the same phone number. Messaged customer service and they “can’t” or won’t do anything to manually give me what I paid for. Don’t recommend the app.
Dano
Not good.
Fake reviews
No way the reviews are real its been 6months n got 1 match and she didnt even message me
I had high hopes
Once someone likes your profile they’re put behind a pay wall and you can’t see them on your main feed unless you pay. Most of the profiles were in languages other than English and there was a decent number of people that stated they were not Christian on their profile. It seems like this app was good once upon a time, but unfortunately not now. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere.
Waste of Time
Let's see 50% of the profiles are Latin American girls looking for a green card, or you show me 70% of profiles of the opposite race. No height filter for free, but hey! At least you get to see 1 like per day! TOOTTALY WORTH IT 🤪... just use Hinge/Bumble/ whatever...most "Christian" girls are the same on "Christian Apps" 50/50 chance they are actually Christ Like.
Deleting my profile
Very few users. Horrible experience. I typically ask women how they feel about biblical gender roles and God ordained hierarchy. Harmlessly debating an issue like this with women seems to be a problem even on “Christian” dating apps.
Why is hard to swipe
Used to like it, now you are only allowed 1 reveal each day. Most men are hundreds or thousands of miles away.
Took my money and suspended my account
Do yourself a favor and steer clear. I created my account and had just paid for a subscription and then I get a message saying my account was suspended. I never even used it. Back and forth with support. Twice they said I was no longer suspended but when I go to use the app it says I'm still suspended. Then they tell me they are having technical issues. Still out money and no access to the app.
Refund please
Definitely not enough people on here. I paid for premium and it was not worth it. The concept is good (Christian Dating), but not enough people. Couldn’t get a refund from the App Store for the premium purchase. Wasted $25.
Just like the other dating apps
Nothing special about the app.. it’s like the others, and the blind date feature changes every few months to something different. Underwhelming with essentially zero meaningful connections.
Always get ghosted
I really don’t understand this app woman never hit u back when u text and they match with you
Bad feeling
I did not have it downloaded very long because I felt like they asked too many personal questions. Even wanting to know what church I go to and know the town I live in. For these dating apps, I only see the state that I live in for safety purposes. You never know what intentions people may have. They might say their question, but their intentions say otherwise. With the information they were wanting me to give anyone at any time could come and find me without my knowledge.
Terrible app
Do not recommend
Paywall to see interested users
You can only see one like per day on the free version and there is no free trial for premium. Not a fan. The extra filtering is premium only and that’s understandable. This one has the potential to be better than FB dating and Salt.
Free version super annoying
The app is really annoying to use. Ads constantly pop up, the app opens my Instagram numerous times, it doesn’t let me bypass certain screens so I have to close and reopen. Really thinking of just deleting. The interface is pretty straightforward. The free version only lets you see 1 person that liked your profile per day. Even if you don’t want to match with them, the profile still sticks around. As a Christian dating site, lots of ultra-conservative folks, just a heads up. Some people have questionable values in their profile. Likely will delete it.
Ark
Waste of money and time.
Hidden Likes
I hate the fact that I can only see one person who looks me every couple days. That’s stupid. If this is a Christian dating app then they should be trying to match Christians together. It’s all about money…
