Misleading
Too many men that identify as women, and also too many men liking another man’s profile and even messaging me that clearly says they are only interested in women, not men who identify as women, or men that are undercover Brothers I just think it’s weird for a man to try to be friend another man on a dating app I need to put their phone down and go outside and mingle. You be surprised of the people that use me.
Don’t download this app
They ban my account for no reason and every account on there is fake. you don’t actually meet anyone real don’t waste your time!!!
This app scams people !!
Only gives straight men fat chicks and fake profiles..

It was a coo dating website then one day boom banned even tho u have to follow there privacy terms and they don’t have to there’s better apps like Yubo or duet they are great and better then this Money was coo time to time before they just banned so be warm
Waste of time
This app took my money no way to contact anyone and locked me out the system as if I did something wrong. Still waiting for someone to contact me
Cannot cancel my subscription and it continues to charge me. It’s literally taking my money
1
Won’t let me login
Used the app for about a week and now I can’t login to my account due to an “error” Glad this happened to me before I subscribed
New update
The new update is horrible probably going to delete the end of the month
Distance
No matter what I do the distance that I prefer never helps I’m seeing profiles that are 250 miles alway unless app can’t form real connections and something needs to be done about the fake profiles and sex workers
DONT GET THIS APP
This app completely sucks! The women dont respond and the app developers made sure to put so many bots up here to fake like you have likes so then you go buy a membership to get absolutely no interactions. Complete scam!!!
Login Issue
There’s always an option to use your phone number bc that’s how I created my profile. Now, I cannot get into the app bc it’s only showing to sign in with your email. When I’ve never used my email to sign up or login. Delete my profile and information. It doesn’t make sense to have this many bugs smh. Then you cannot log in
Bug riddled
The app signed me out of my account for absolutely no reason I’ve only messaged 1 person & had it for a week. Now it’s denying me to log back in.
I can’t log back into my account
The app is super glitchy I’ve reached out about getting back into my profile after it mysteriously logged me out and there trying to tell me to reset my password when it’s not even giving me a login option please fix this because I would really like to log back into my account
Discriminate
This app continues to delete my profile because I say I do adult content in my bio. I don’t try to sale it I’m just letting ppl know what I’m on before swiping and they continue to discriminate against me because I do porn.
Toss up
This app a toss up allot of times. Lots of old pages people Don’t use
The other half fat
The other half fat
Sadness
Every girl I have connected with on here wants money for content or to meet up in person no genuine connection
Blk
Blk is a scam, you never match with anyone! They have so many fake accounts and they try to take advantage of members I wish more honest real people talk about they blk experience because they just trying to make money I say shut the app down
Do they claim to have a reasoning for this?
😑 do you suspect or have you identified racism/double standards?
My messages are not coming up
I have so many messages. And I just got this app. But for some reason, the messages that people sent to me disappear and I can’t find them.
Update SUCKS
this update Is terrible, likes are no longer sorted by most to least recent and conversations are no longer sorted by most to least recent. This update has ruined the experience of this app.
Broken
Can’t use the app due to error codes
Fake profiles
This App has some of the worst individual Men with Fake profiles on it they are not checking these individuals ladies you better do your due diligence to investigate theses fake impersonators or someone is going to get seriously hurt on this site!! The site is letting any individual get on and post all of the fake pictures and profiles and they are quite good at it they are not checking for sex offenders people that are scammers are anything I know first hand and they are not giving you your money back when this happens!!! This site has so many fake profiles especially the ones that only have one or two pictures and little to no Bio be very aware of those and even the ones that look legit you have to do your own investigation the write ups about people finding true love is a lie do not fall for it these men on here are either scammers are not real be very aware of the one on here name Rick 64 only one picture African American two pictures of a Alaskan Husky dog that he say he calls peachypie or something to that nature and lives in Illinois but it all is a lie with a fake profile and BLK let it get through he will even give you a phone number and tell you where he works these people are so good you never see it coming and you think you’re finding true love but you have been warned about this site purchase at your own risk it is not want you think because it says BLK the write ups are not True!!!!!
To BLK
It’s trash when it comes to other countries it stop working
Won’t let me create account
It continues to say enter a valid birthday and I’m entering 10-15-2007
Too many
Too many Trans and gays are allowed to connect and match with heterosexual males. There should be a heterosexuality category and just one for others.. stop mixing everything all into one.
Glitch/scam
I paid to see my matches and I can’t everytime I try to accept them it doesn’t work… yaw a scam
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!! Paid for a subscription and it doesn’t work
It says become an elite member to see who likes you. I pay, now there’s an error message and it prompts me to pay for a higher subscription. I can’t scroll or swipe left or right my likes. Then matches I have are mixed up, wrong pic with wrong convo. Half the time I can’t even click in a profile. It’s a waste, DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS APP. Not to mention I’ve been trying to contact someone for help and just get automated messages that don’t solve anything.
Login issues
I downloaded the app today and used my phone number to log in and browsed a little bit added all my information and photos to this app and now it keeps telling me I can’t login and contact support and there is no support. This kind of rubs me the wrong way it seems the app had potential from my brief interaction but not being able to login and you have my information and no way to contact does not sit well with me and I would like a solution or my information deleted
Cancel subscription
Once you sign up you can’t cancel
The app is a scam
The app crashes entirely too much and it even takes your perks that you subscribed for like the super likes or notes away and does not give them back while the app tries to fix itself.
Log in
The app is down
App CRASHES AFTER I PAY FOR IT!!! SCAM
I made my profile the other day and decided to pay for the week subscription to see my likes maybe a half hour after I pay for it crashes disgusting! I’m seeing who I need to speak to and there’s going be a problem!
Terrible
App will not update no matter how many times I try. Ive got messages I can’t even get
Pay everything
This app is stipid you gotta pay for everything
Gender filtering sucks
If I put I’m straight why are yall still letting Trans try and match with me
Images Don’t Load
I can’t see any pictures for potential matches and people I’ve matched with. Even after deleting the app and redownloading it, there has been no improvement. Has to be a 1 star until they fix this app breaking bug that makes the app useless
App login
Lately the app won’t allow you to login in even when you receive a code through your cell number.
More matches!
Not really connecting with/without membership
Premium
The could at least let you see who liked you
I paid and did not get to play
I recently purchased the premium weekly access on the BLK dating app, mainly to see who liked my profile. Unfortunately, even after being charged, the feature is not working as expected and I still cannot view my likes.
This is frustrating because that was the primary reason I upgraded in the first place. I’ve tried refreshing the app and checking multiple times, but the issue persists.
For a paid subscription, I expected immediate access to the features advertised. I hope this gets resolved quickly or that support can provide a refund or fix the issue, because right now the experience doesn’t match what was promised.

This app is a rip off!
I paid for an elite membership and all the women are 400 miles away. I know some women in my town on the app but I do t see them on the app. It shows no one local and I’m a paying member. I asked for a refund and heard from no one. $60 wasted.
Fraud
This makes you pay for a subscription and it doesn't work at all!!! I want my money back!!! 😡
FLAWS BY FAR
Why does this app keep opening “Indeed” when I don’t want to swipe or match. Please fix this, it’s annoying and I’m feeling like someone is doing something behind the scenes in the app. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
don’t let them capitalize off of you
this whole app is locked behind a paywall pretty much, you cant do anything for more than 60 seconds without them locking something until you pay
Scammers
There are multiple scammers and they have Chicago area codes 773. Samantha is one of them. And there’s another one that fines by brat or sandie or something like that
Weird
They will scam you too pay too change the miles automatically themselves you can’t change it when you’ve liked people in your area be prepared for them to change it themselves the BLK app is weird bruh
Trash app
Remove this app
Account
I’m locked out of my account and I’ve tried multiple times to reach out to see why I can’t login and I am getting no help at all
Subscription
Made a payment for a subscription, and it’s not registering w/ the app. I’ve paid money for something I am unable to use.
Too Many Fake Accounts
When you create the account I think they send a match instantly to make to upgrade and pay to see. Plus there many fake accounts. Stop using it! It is b.d.
