App Needs To Stop Harassment
This app has very serious malfunctions. It is very suspect in how invasive it is with all of its incessant requests for verifications. I have done so already - and then it glitches repeatedly. Sick and tired of the nonsense. It is very poor service and terrible function in comparison to other apps. This is not fun: It is very disastrous behavior. App needs to stop all of the harassment!
This app sucks but it doesn’t
Good app but nobody responds and what’s with everyone being far away
Pretty bad
Interesting illegal pay structure.
Ehhhh, maybe for hookups
You can’t see your likes unless you pay for premium, and the app is glitchy (will show who likes you and even if you say no to them, they will STILL be in your likes no matter how many times you press no). Sometimes the app matches you with random people so it hard to believe that the matches you’re getting are real. There are attractive profiles and matches but they don’t message you first or message back even if they’ve liked you first so it’s giving bots. So far everyone that’s messaged me has asked to hook up even though they say long term and my goal is also long term. Seems to be another hookup app, stick to feeld if you want that tbh
AI Slop
First of all, no matter how many times you set your settings to only show a certain age range or certain location, it will show you people outside of that and from all over the country. Also, it will automatically write prompts for you that sound like complete AI slop. Like the sentences don't even make sense and you can't get a good read on anyone's profile because so many of them are filled in with generic robot AI answers.
Scam
All fake Ai bots who message you then stop replying all fake scammers stay away
This App Sucks
This app sucks. I paid for the app and it’s still asking me to pay for all the different features. All the women in this seem to be fake. I get notices all the time and I go into the app and nothing is there. This app sucks do not pay for this app.
1 star by force, no stars by choice
Literally have to pay to match local and it’s wayyy overpriced, it also forces the same people you’ve swiped on back repeatedly wasting your time, swipes and people who do match are generally not even in your state!
Only good if you pay
This app is trash unless you pay.
Complete waste of time
Full of bots and out-of-state matchesThis app is a terrible experience. It is completely overrun with fake profiles and bot accounts. On top of that, the location filters do not work at all, and I constantly get matched with people living multiple states away. The developers have done a horrible job maintaining this app. Do not waste your time downloading it
How to remove prompt ??? And why is this more expensive than the date ????
Too much false stuff on this app
Ts lowkey buns
So as most lonely people do, I download this app thinking, “why not? I hear so many good reviews about it so why not give it a try.” Well as soon as I download the app I’m bombarded with pop-ups upon pop-ups for premium subscriptions. I didn’t think too much of it tho, considering how most apps have been doing that for the past few years now, so I can just probably overlook that for now, right? Well that was until i realized you quite literally can’t do ANYTHING without at least 2 subscriptions. For example; unless you download the “SuPrEmE” pack you literally will not be able to find a single person from your specific area, let alone anywhere close to that. Like, I think I’ve flipped through everyone in the states of Ohio, NC, and Maryland. (I’m from New York btw)
Not for meeting local
Even though this app gives you an area range it does not show people close. It shows and matches people in other states, some multiple states away. If you want to meet people within a reasonable range you have to pay for premium. This app is total bull honkey would not recommend!
Trash don’t get it
Don’t waste your time or money always show you people how you don’t want to date and even paying for the service still sucks I been on the app almost 10months and have yet to meet anyone or anyone who I want to meet
Absolute worst dating app
Almost every single person in my feed is from another state while I have my settings set at 50 miles. In addition, the same people like my profile over and over even though I swipe left. I literally have not found one single person in my state. The worst.
Worst ever rated dating app don’t do it
It’s prolly going use your photos and pretend to have conversations with other people on your behalf it’s all AI CHAT BOTS none of the people that always seem to respond soon as you write them are real obviously nobody has duet constantly open on there phone and it does that to burn your credits and make you buy more legit pyramid scam, but you interested in talking to a chat bot yes this the best ever otherwise don’t download this app
Scam
Dating app that has all locals behind a paywall and when you get “likes” it’ll show them as within 100mi or so and only locals are shown as behind paywalls you have to get the “supreme” for the app to actually show anyone nearby
One of the worst dating apps i’ve tried
This has got to be one of the worst dating apps I’ve ever tried and I’ve tried most of them. Their whole “algorithm” for how they give out matches isn’t good, yes you will get matches quick but they won’t be in the radius that you originally set. Like you set a 15 mile radius and these matches are 30+ miles away and an hour drive away. Also the Duet support or customer service is what’s really bad about this app, their customer service takes business weeks to respond. If I could give Duet a zero stars I would, stick to Hinge or Tinder because And I think more than half of the “matches” Duet gives are fake matches or bots just to make Duet look like there are a lot of users. Wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone.
Garbage app
The only people you will find close to you are fake profiles, the ones who have liked you that are close by you will never see. You could have the setting set to just in your city and it’s showing people 3+ hours from your location. But the person who likes you, that’s in your city, will never come up. Make that make sense, even the daily picks that you have to pay to contact will never appear in your searches. Even if you pay, which I did before, to contact people in my nearby area, I never even got a reply from. To sum it up this app sucks and it’s actively blocking people so you have to pay to match. And if you do match it’s probably a fake account.
Paywall
Everything is locked behind a paywall. You can’t see any of the people who like you unless you match with them after endless swiping. Not able to make a match.
0 matches
I’m not a bad looking guy, I’m tall and I’m actively using the app yet I have 0 matches despite coming across many girls I think I could get along with. I’m not sure if it’s just the algorithm or maybe how the app treats different people based on their subscription type, but I have had a 0% success rate in the past month of having the app and it honestly seems unfair. Maybe it has nothing to do with the app but I can’t be that bad right?
Women who like me are they bots ?
None of my likes reply to me when i send them hi what is the problem ?
Messages
I’ve had the app for some time and normally it doesn’t have issues. I was set to go on a date with someone who thought I stood them up because my messages of me being there were not sending. I have 99+ matches and can’t talk to anyone because messages are sending or I suppose are not being received on their end.
Fake app
This app has been ads and it’s so fake that you have to pay to get the full experience not cool
Best dating app but a cash grab
This dating app is probably one of the better apps. However Its extremely frustrating to use if you are not willing to drop a few bucks. No point in meeting someone in my area I never see anyone the people I see are states away from me. Duet you will go out of business if you don’t fix this just saying.
Your app rejected Nigeria you didn’t send code
I’m so disappointed
Great if you want long distance matches
They intentionally make it difficult to find anyone in your area. They have a nearby section where you can see people around you but you can’t like them. You have to pay to message them. But people stayed away? They flood to you. Their location is not a filter. You have to scroll to the bottom of their profile to even find their location. Not worth 60 plus bucks a month when I can’t even see you is around me!
Misleading notifications to push subscriptions
I’m disappointed with on this app it constantly shows likes and views, but you have to pay to see anything or do anything platform is filled the bots
Alot of fake profiles
I found a girl on here through image search and she confirmed she did not make an account with this app
Just a money grab
I’ve responded to multiple people without ever getting a response back. And they constantly want you to upgrade for more access to their service. NOT WORTH IT STAY AWAY
Horrible
Here’s a candid review you could post:
I gave Duet a fair chance, but ultimately deactivated my account because the app is frustrating to use and poorly designed.
First, the “likes” system doesn’t seem to work properly. I have over 9,999 likes, but no matter how many profiles I review, like, or dislike, the number never meaningfully decreases. Profiles I have already disliked often reappear multiple times. Even worse, if I dislike someone in the regular search section, they may still appear later in the “people who liked you” section, forcing me to reject the same person again.
The handling of new likes is also confusing. If I click on a new like, decide whether I’m interested, and then go back, the list of new likes disappears, making it difficult to review them efficiently.
The messaging experience is equally disappointing. I matched with dozens of people, yet almost nobody made any effort to have an actual conversation. Most messages were limited to “Hi,” “Hello,” or “How are you?” with no attempt to engage based on my profile, which is fully completed and contains plenty of information to start a meaningful conversation.
On top of that, unread messages are difficult to identify because the visual distinction is so subtle. Important messages can easily get lost among older conversations.
Overall, the app generated plenty of likes but very little meaningful interaction. Combined with the confusing interface and repetitive profiles, it felt more like an endless sorting exercise than a dating platform designed to help people connect. I won’t be returning.

Over priced
It’s just a money pit i don’t even recommend the free version
Literally just a scam
The dating app will have a fake account “match” you instantly. Then make you pay for a subscription to even see that it is a fake account. I’m trapped using it for 3 months after that
95% fake accounts
I may have met one actual human on this app, but still not in real life. So it's possible that I have never met an actual human on this app. After 3 weeks and 400+ likes, I got a few chats that went nowhere, most matches trying to get me off the app and onto WhatsApp, one guy bullying me into trying to meet up with him in an hour, and every 3rd profile that looked at all promising was either AI generated or a bot. The actual humans on there appear to be either antisocial or, as other reviews said, so far away that it's not worth it. And you have to scroll down to the bottom of each profile to see where they are. The interface itself would be great if it was even remotely legitimate. Feels like typical Bangladeshi click farm nonsense
Fraudulent/Scammers
This app gave me an offer so I thought I would try it- seems like a zillion fake profiles- didn’t really even get to test their “Premium Week “ offer for less than 24 hours before they tried to charge my card full price lol Don’t fall for their bs offer scams and the app sucks anyway - no one ever even actually replies or talks- everyone just sends stupid stickers and THEN NOTHING ELSE . Like how is that a real human action… it’s not. DONT FALL FOR THE SCAM OF THIS APP BEWARE
Horrible
Horrible
Filters suck
The app itself has a novel concept for how matching happens but the search filters are otherwise non-existent. I have it set to an age range around my age and a distance of 50 miles MAXIMUM. Tell me why I am seeing people who are either over a decade older than myself or are living over 200 miles away? Clearly there are people within the selected range but a majority are these random people that I am either not interested in or are way outside a reasonable dating commute of.
Additionally, this app attempts to force you to pay money just so you can have a chance to match with someone in the same city/ zip code.
Also the UI is weirdly confusing. I had a hard time figuring out what to push in order to view the profile again after matching. That part might be a me issue but I feel I should state it regardless.

Location
Unsure of why this app refuses to show any matches that are near me. Wish you didn’t have to pay to see people who live within drivable distance
Fix this PLEASEEE
I deleted my account and it keeps messaging me saying people are adding me.
Pretty useless. They only show you people far away 🙄
They’ll show you people close by IF you pay for premium 🙄
I’d understand if they showed some far and some close but noooooooo…. They only show those far away. It’s useless

Notifications.
I use Duet daily and pay for the premium subscription. I will get about notification a day with a name saying something like “Haley likes you, come match!” But when I open the app I have 0 likes. I understand it’s not the app creators fault that I’m not getting matches. But the fake notifications just to get me to open the app are very frustrating and painful. I won’t be resubscribing.
Nothing Is Free
You can create a profile, put in all your information (enough for them to basically have your soul), just for you to get nothing in return. You can't message anyone unless you pay. You can't see you swiped right on you unless you pay. You can't do ANYTHING unless you pay for the stupid premium and you only learn that AFTER you provide them with all of your personal information, so much to the point where they know your facial structure.
Terrible
All the people on this app are hundreds of miles away. On top of the fact that if you delete your account they continue to store your data indefinitely.
Spammy/Waste of time
I checked this app out after a bunch of ads on YouTube since tinder seems burned out w/out premium nowadays; . Here’s the summary… it’s mediocre at best. Spammy notifications when off the app, fake likes, (“hidden” of course- ) you can’t see where your matches are from until you scroll to the end of the profile, but the cherry on top… the developers of this app are putting out ads that put Men down and ridicule Men. 0 stars.
Plan on spending lots of money for nothing
This has got to be one of the most garbage dating apps out there. It will not show you people near by for free. Instead it shows you people 100 to 700 miles away but if you pay then all of a sudden all the likes and attention you’re getting from “locals” will magically appear. Once you pay it’s nothing but continued frustration and disappointment. They’re only banking on our desperation. Save your money up for a hooker at least then it would be a sure thing and not throwing money down the drain for literally nothing
Forced into paying for premium subscription
This subscription offers several different tiers, if you buy the lowest level, you cannot see people that are local to you. You can only see other Duet members and they are all over the country.- absolutely no use to me.
The app itself, isn’t anything to write home about. A waste of $25.

Worst possible app
Want a dating app that’ll show you people 200+ miles away? Want to pay to see anyone nearby only to find that there’s VERY few within 100 miles? (Then wonder if they’re fake profiles or just inactive from quite a while ago.) Want to get a pile of likes from people that would require a private helicopter to actually meet? Then this is the app for you!
Fake profiles and matches
Everything about this app is fake, fake matches fake people it’s just designed to try to get you to pay. You have 40 people who’ll like you but you never match with any of them until you pay and when you do they are all fake or live in Nigeria. Smh
Cost
It’s pointless unless you want to pay. You get random people across the country.
Don’t even waste your time
This is just like every other app except somehow worse. When I say everything and I mean EVERYTHING is trapped behind a paywall it’s physical draining. Most of the people on the app seem to be bots. Also did I mention everything is trapped behind a paywall!! If you try and view the people who liked you, then be ready to pay a lot of money. Don’t get this app it’s a waste of your time.
