“LDS”.. sure… 🙄
I swear over 80% of people are not temple worthy and most of the guys have been ‘working on it’ for yeaaaars. No, you’re not. I am so sick of there only being trash guys out there. Step up men. You hold the priesthood and have made pretty serious covenants in the temple. How about you take them seriously? This app is for inactive and complacent members.
Need better verification
I have encountered fake accounts that are “blue checked” verified by showing a few selfies. These probably could easily be fake by finding a selfies on the real account. It happens all the time. They need a different better verification method. One of their staff members also told me this messed up rule where even if you are on their paid subscription they do not put you as priority if you are not using the app enough even if you send notes and boosts. So if you are someone like me who pays but does not have enough time to be on it very much because of graduate school, work, and exercise/diet they do not put you on priority. Very money driven app that doesnt care about their users finding someone
Limited and Need App Updates ASAP
I don’t appreciate that I can’t filter out by language and I keep getting profiles from other countries 🙄
Mutual
Is ok
Like all other apps
This dating is one of the worst. Pay to see ppl that liked ur profile, ridiculous, withhold ppl in ur area to keep u paying,,,,it’s all the same apps cuz the ppl working this app have to get paid right
Scrolling
When I want to to summit to the next task I can’t scroll up
Mutal Premium
The premium is way too expensive and without it it’s way harder to match with people
Endless Spinning cost me a date!
I was in the process of setting a couple dates up and hadn’t yet made the jump to phone number. I can see the notification but the app will not open, instead just endlessly loading. I deleted and reinstalled, restarted my device, all to no avail. Now this woman will think I ghosted her and I don’t have a date! Thanks a lot.
Hinge > mutual
If you live in Utah, Mutual gets demolished by Hinge in every single way. Hinge has a better algorithm, better profiles, more serious users, and it lets you see every person who likes you. I get ten times the matches with ten percent of the effort on hinge. Mutual needs to up its game
Mutual is theoretically useful if you live outside of Utah, but the user base is so small and unserious that in practice it’s a waste of time
Mutual needs to make the app more useful for actually getting dates (for example, by allowing you to see the people who like you, limiting likes per day to a smaller number, forcing new users to make a quality profile, etc) if it wants to compete with the big dogs.

App Stops Working About Once Every Month
I don’t understand what is going on with this app, but I find it really unreliable. It will work just fine for a period of time, and then without warning, about once a month, it will give me the never-ending spinning circle and nothing will load for several days. I’m over it. I’m wishing I hadn’t paid for six months.
Not worth it
95% of the time you get ghosted.
Just awful (a profit model to prey on LDS faith)
The worst thing of all about this app, is the company who created it see LDS marriages and temples as a profit model, which is disgusting and such a disgrace. Something this sacred is just money for these people. The odds are against you, with all their manufactured and rigged algorithms in the app, you will never find anyone. Plus a lot of inconsistent, weird, and false data. They are like Twitter. Buggy app, awful and inconsiderate group of people (I don’t believe they are LDS), and mysterious chat and match disappearances, which I believe is on purpose to keep me on the app and do infinite swiping. 2 years of my life gone. I’m not wasting anymore. I already pay for premium features, and I have to pay $7-8 dollars to “boost” my profile? Why is that not included with my premium subscription!? An insidious profit model, as most dating apps are, and this junk is no different, just an immoral Tinder with an LDS theme. If Mutual really wanted to help you find someone, they would do a interests/personality quiz (like eHarmony), which is much more effective, but no, an infinite swipe profit model (your “soulmate” is just around corner, keep swiping, but there never will be. The randomness and statistics are against you, so don’t bother). Since more and more people rely on dating apps, especially younger people, they will take all these doctored algorithms seriously as a reflection of themselves. You are valued by the Lord, don’t believe the app. These insidious algorithms are not good for people’s mental health, and who knows what damage and emotional abuse they have inflicted on people through this app. I hope there is a special place in hell for this app.
Waste of Time
App use to be fun to use. Now they charge 20 bucks a week to use. Who knows what other methods they’re using to milk money out of church members.
They’re preying on people looking for love.

Hard to get a match
It’s hard to get a match as a guy
Complete scam
If you don’t pay for the app it wont connect you to anyone that matches you if your a man its a scam stealing money
Fat chicks
Need I say more
Emily
They don’t show all of your likes or all of who likes you!
Lost everything that made it good
Mutual use to be good. Free unlimited swipe, you would actually get match’s. Now unless you pay there outrageous prices you get nothing out of it. Caught up in there greed to actually be worth having.
Great for connections but needs Read Receipts
I have had some good matches here but as a guy who puts effort into my openers it is tough not knowing if they have even been seen. Adding a feature to see if a message was read whether she swiped up or down would take the guesswork out of dating and help us know when to move on!
Also I notice a lot of people from out of state swipe on me while girls in my own state do not as much. It would be much better to get more matches closer to where I live so we can actually meet up.
Also I get matches from girls who do not put where they live and it turns out are too far away. They do not have to list their town but it would be nice if they had to at least list their state so I know if a real connection is even possible.

Not very many attractive people on here. Don’t waste your time or money. Keep your distance
I swipe up probably less than 1% of the time. I’ll spend 45 minutes of my free time just swiping down. Takes FOREVER to come across someone that’s decent looking. Paid for one month. No more. I’ll literally swipe down through all of the available choices for my age group and the only way to get more options is if I extend the age down to 13 years younger than me. Nothing here. Huge waste of time and money. Spend that $20 per month where they are more options. Definitely not here.
One possibility is that there is an algorithm that sees who turns you down and then categorizes you based on the opinion of a few ladies, which would be extremely stupid. (Make it so that you only see Butch or unattractive ladies). You know, get rejected by a few women that never get rejected and then get thrown into the bone pile to mingle with the grub. Not all women think the same or are attracted to the same type of look. I’ve been rejected by hot women and I’ve had hot women enthusiastically go on dates with me. Different strokes for different folks. Case in point: have you ever seen a beautiful lady dating a guy and think “How did he get HER?” It happens. Categorizing someone based on the taste of a few ladies is horribly simple and gives a terrible experience to willing subscribers. Maybe they’re afraid of men harassing women? Which seems almost impossible to do on the app.
If I’m wrong and I’m truly seeing all the choices, it’s only a matter of time for this app.

The only hope is in person

As stupid as you’d expect
The app is annoying asf to use, unless of course you pay to unlock basic features, like swiping more than 10 times for example. Paywalling the shawties is crazy work. But what else would you expect from a dating app? IMO they should also make it so you can only text with 3 people at once, but they’d never implement something like that because that would make it work better. Common tinder-esque slop.
Hasn’t changed in a decade
I remember when mutual came out. It’s has great features but the fact is, it has barely changed since it’s been launched. The style, the profile features. No video or audio that you can send. And above all the prices haven’t changed. I really wish they’d do promotions and change up the app.
Very disappointed
Too many women who don’t speak English primarily from Central and South America. Also, not many women who are single without children. Very disappointed.
Mutual is hit, hit, and … miss.
Not sure if it’s just me but LOTS of Muslims, Catholics, and just non-active LDS members came my way. Oh, and MUCH OLDER than me LDS men. Mutual is not the same. A better vetting system should be created. Now it’s highly inefficient. The only “successful stories” I’m seeing are men who don’t want to lose their meager assets in a potential future divorce marrying poor immigrant women who need a green card. I’m getting better results using other apps.
It worked.
But I did get banned once for saying low blow to a woman
Terrible Algorithm
I have been using this app daily for a month or two, and have yet to get a match, or even a like after reinstalling it. Honestly ridiculous that I seem to not have my profile shown to others, and can’t get a match even after filling out my profile. Terrible product, and a waste of time if you are a male.
Not enough likes
U barely get the opportunity to like people and talk with them
