Terrible quality
Do yourself a favor and don’t by this app. Especially if you want to save time and money , and energy. They will drain you of your whole bank account. Like I kind you not once you spend your money it’s not guaranteed you will get it back. Some of the people on the app are fake and just want your money ask what your personal information. It’s nearly impossible to get peoples
Contact information. You literally use to play chess match with the all juts to get peoples information. They overcharge you to send gifts , call plus text. So please do yourself a favor and don’t download the app it’s a waste of time.

Please don’t waste your money. The profiles seemed to good to be true with good looking men and it had me looking at it sideways. It seemed suspicious. You also have to spend so much on credits to send message and open pictures etc. I fell for it and I don’t want others losing money on a site that has operators posing as Really good looking men and women.

Bad 😡
It’s a bad app. You made me pay for it, and I didn’t even talk for 4 minutes before you told me I can’t talk anymore. That doesn’t make sense.
★★★★ tonystanz 2/10/2026 v7.585.2
Scam app
This app is a scam, they do employ different individuals to work on the app to pretend to be a real client. The app gives them free user to chat & talk to different people pretending to be someone who you think you talking too, & they do use different people pictures pretending to be them, and they do end up not giving out their numbers after a conversation. The app instructed them not to give any number out to the subscribers because they know they ain’t real! They only deceive us to subscribe to it, assuring us that we would find our love ones which is a lie.
★★★★ Summer Giang 1/25/2026 v7.585.2
So bad!:
I don’t like the way you have to pay to continue to the conversation. I’m going to delete this app.

Fraude total
App nada recomendable, te cobran de todo, si quieres seguir hablando, tienes que recargar, recargar y recargar, una experiencia totalmente desagradable, por favor no caigan de tontos, descargando esta app ya que es una pedida de tiempo y más aún de dinero.
★★★★ Hollystokke 11/19/2025 v7.539.2
Unmet Expectations
I was introduced by a co worker who is happily married with two kids and they met from here.. I'm Holly, 54years old from USA. I joined this dating app hoping to connect with genuine men, between the ages of 55 to upwards but Unfortunately, my experience has been very disappointing. My NO is Four Seven Nine, Two Eight Five, Zero Seven Four Four. After paying for a subscription, I expected to be able to chat and build real connections. Instead I found out that I couldn't even send proper messages without being asked for more money. It's frustrating and feels like a constant push to spend more, with no real results or communication happening. You can tx me if you are interested, I'm very pretty woman with self worth and most important GOD fearing

DON’T USE, YOU ARE BEING WARNED
Before you sign up for this dating website, please be warned that it is a complete fraud. The people on this app are there to draw you in and make you spend all your money. I have been on this dating website for over two years and have never met anyone in person. This video chat is another way for you to lose money. I am here to warn ⚠️ you now, please. Save yourself the time and your pocketbook some money. SCAMMERS, it is a fraudulent website.

★★★★ Harleyangel39 6/13/2025 v7.369.0
A1 generated
Do NOT waste your money. These are A1 generated profiles and these men sweet talk you to make you feel good and they are extremely good looking. If it’s too good to be true, it is. I have PROOF OF IT. I screen shot conversation with one and asked for honesty and it replied that it was A1, but was there “to talk if I needed it”….Really??? I’m going to keep paying to talk to robots?? This is awful. They are taking your money by charging credits to send a message which is awful to begin with when it should be a membership. The other issue is that this screws with people’s emotions. People think they are establishing real connections and then, become heart broken?? How cruel. I’m going to turn in to everyone, including BBB. This needs to be shut down immediately and everyone should get a refund.

★★★★ Rasir Srv 5/6/2025 v7.341.0
Pésima app
La app está llena solo de bots y para todo te cobran, es una completa estafa. Todos los perfiles que te escriben son genéricos, envían mensajes que te insistan a gastar, y para nada porque ningún perfil es real, de paso te hacen pagar una membresía para que puedas chatear de forma “ilimitada” con personas que no sean destacados y sorpresan! Más del 90% de los perfiles son destacados y los que no son es porque no están verificados

★★★★ Zbo1000 2/26/2025 v7.301.0
Scam
This site is a joke. They have attractive women on the site whose only objective is to tell you what you want to hear to get you to purchase credits through the site in order to continue to purchase talk to them and video chat with them. I honestly believe that they are being paid or are receiving incentives from the site itself for talking sweet to men so we will continuously purchase credits from them, it’s a scam and a joke.

Thank you for nothing.

PAID TO CHAT
maybe not fake or a SCAM, but sure does dance on the borders.
Beautiful people text and video you with intentions of only communicating with you on the app.
BE CAREFUL THIS IS NOT their only app.
NOT EASY TO CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION
“For security “ it takes an additional email that’s has to be clicked to confirm account deletion
Never got that email and yes of course I checked my spam! So sure enough they attempted to charge me again!!
Waiting over an hour for a response on messenger to unsubscribe!

★★★★ Anneta1989 1/14/2025 v7.280.0
Fraud!
I entered this page on Saturday and immediately began to receive messages from some people, coincidentally the same question but in a different way. I also realized that the system asked me to pay to be able to chat, so I tried and oh surprise, in less than 1 hour US$22.99, however, I tried to ask the person to speak through another means and they insisted on speaking through the app. And they did not share any information with me. Then, by accident, while checking the charges on my card, I made another payment, so I decided to write again and the same thing happened, this time they sent me a photo and asked me for one too. I responded to a few messages from other “users” and boo… again, $0 credit. Additionally, they charge you for all e-mails, credits per minute e-mails, photos, videos. scam scam scam. ask to get my refund and of course they said that I signed and agreement and expended my credits. reported with the bank.
★★★★ Berncirleoffriends 1/8/2025 v7.280.0
DO NOT DO IT! Borders on fraud!!! Hello class action lawsuit!
I wrote another review of this app earlier but I suppose it was too damning so the developers decided to not publish it. I was only on it for 3 days because I realized that most if not all are fake AI created profiles with these super model looking men in GQ/Esquire photoshoots, superfluously written profiles & messages that normal & REAL people wouldn’t sound like. Manipulative, with questionable price gouging practices that prey on people’s desire to connect. I see a class action lawsuit in the horizon. They charge a $1 per message and/or a minute, I’m not sure, because all of a sudden the credits are depleted. And you’re coerced to pay for more so you can continue the chat.
★★★★ Olive 9479 12/19/2024 v7.273.1
YOU NEED TO SUBSCRIBE
Just downloaded this app got lots of hits and when I went to reply I have to pay $20 a month for a subscription
NOWHERE in the description of what this app offers does it say you are forced to subscribe to reply to people who want to chat with you
Total rip off
Completely unsatisfied downloaded just to be deleted 5 minutes later
★★★★ CalyFlores 12/15/2024 v7.273.1
Beware: This App Feels Like a Scam
I had high hopes for Dating.com, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The app is outrageously expensive-credits disappear quickly, especially when you receive voice or video messages. These messages cost significantly more, and it feels like the people you match with are working for the app, trying to get you to spend more money.
The pricing structure is ridiculous. I spent $80 in no time, and the interactions felt forced and scripted. It seems like the app is more focused on squeezing money out of users than fostering genuine connections.
Save your time and money-there are better, more affordable platforms out there where people are actually interested in meaningful relationships. This app feels like a scam designed to drain your wallet.
★★★★ First0011 12/13/2024 v7.273.1
Fraudulent
The site is full of “professional” workers. In addition, the subscription offered is pure FRAUD. They promise a certain number of credits for a monthly fee and simply don’t deliver them to your account. When you contact so-called support, they simply drop your chat. Apple promotes this fraud as it has a hefty take on it by refusing to refund subscription fee. Two fraudulent companies scratching each other’s back. Shame on you, rotten fruit!
★★★★ kimit11 12/7/2024 v7.273.0

You have to pay to chat with someone?! It’s disappointing. It’s free to chat with people online. I guess they have to make money.

Terrible Service
In addition to fake accounts they won’t delete your profile. Tried for 2 months now to remove and they still won’t. So I adjusted everything with fake info to just abandon it. Steer clear of this app as most people are fake and give the generic responses.
★★★★ MelGameGirl 11/26/2024 v7.269.100
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP
They have featured members on the app that pretend to video chat with you and just talk your ear off so it eats up all of your credits and ask you to buy more. They probably pay these people to lie to you because the guys profile said he was in Los Angeles when he told me he was in Miami so he messed up. It is a complete scam and there is no good selection of people in my area at all totally got ripped off for $20 and I would never again download and use this app.
★★★★ 👑 Eagle 11/19/2024 v7.264.0

Needs a subscription for every chat in order to carry on.
So Annoying & pushy.
★★★★ Mah_saee 11/8/2024 v7.263.0
Misleading, Expensive, and Emotionally Manipulative
Dating.com has been a big disappointment. It’s not just the money-it’s about how the app feels designed to waste your time and play with your emotions. They charge for every message, which adds up quickly, but the worst part is dealing with profiles that seem fake or scripted.
It’s suspicious that so many people on the app claim intense feelings but avoid switching to a free messaging app. It felt like the app was using fake profiles to keep users paying.
This app isn’t just overpriced; it plays with your feelings and gives little assurance that the people you’re talking to are real. Don’t waste your time and money here.
This app is overpriced, with poor transparency, and doesn’t give confidence that you’re meeting real people.
★★★★ Puzzle me Perfect 10/28/2024 v7.253.1
Popular Members Flood Your Inbox but won’t meet you
I gave this a shot for two years ever since the first add came out. Every single “popular Member” I’ve contacted refused to meet me in person or contact me outside of the app - even if the person lived in my city. Over 20 popular members I’ve interacted with over the past 2 years and all refused to even get on the phone, contact me on my social media, or meet for coffee. They tie up my inbox with a literal FLOOD of multiple messages, chat requests and e-mails and constantly trying to video chat with me - all of which incurs hefty fees/ “tokens” if I respond. I could not even sign in for one minute without a popular member trying to video chat with me. These popular members, indicated by the yellow star on their profile, have beautiful pics - they are handsome men with many pics in their profile - a lot looks like professional photo shoots - each popular member a little too good to be true - and their messages are well thought out to get your emotional response. They always say they want to get to know you better before they meet you, but they keep contacting you numerous times per day, telling you they miss you, stirring up all kinds of feelings, complimenting you, and praising you up and down, but still refuse to contact you outside of the app. I got to a point where I no longer responded to “Popular Members” but I was still barraged with video chats - again - all from the “popular members.” It is never explained by dating.com how to “become” a popular member. It’s all mysterious and unsaid. The few members (NOT the popular members) that I was able to contact outside the app were ALL traumatized because they had interacted with “Popular Members” and had the same problem as me. Even though I was a real person ready, telling them I found their profile on the dating.com to meet them in person, they didn’t believe me because the Popular members had been messing with their head too, destroying their trust. Two years and I never met a single person - and yes, the popular members I interacted with had their “verified badge” as well - supposedly proving their identity. The entire dating app is a well-designed scam and it’s highly unethical to do this to people - to play with their heartstrings this way. I suspect they use professional models and/or escorts and pay them to play this role of chatting and interacting without ever meeting. That way, they make lots of money off of the chats, videos and emails. Whoever works for this company should really be ashamed of themselves and when you read this review, I’m suggesting for anyone who works for company to actually quit your job - this business is actually doing emotional damage out there - and you are contributing to it - so quit your job and go work for a different company that actually has a sense of ethics and knows the difference between right and wrong. Really - shame on you. I know what you’re doing and it’s disgusting. I actually see a class action lawsuit coming your way because of all the dissatisfied people fed up with this fraud. For anyone else reading this review, I suggest other dating apps that charge a flat monthly fee instead of charging for texts, messages and videos.
