HingeReviews 72

DO NOT WASTE YOUR $95.39 on a fake site. Probably affiliated with fraudulent Elite Singles. This practice should be illegal. I will dispute this charge.
Most profiles show the same cream colored lab dog and same voice on all recordings.

I identified myself as a queer women interested in everyone. I was matched with someone who identifies as a woman but listed themselves as interested in men (both in their 'interested in' line and their written bio). This is not okay--I don't want to have to ignore profiles because the person in them identifies as straight. I simply should not be seeing people who would not consider dating me. I believe this is a bug in Hinge's algorithm. However, when I tried to let them know, I had an inanely repetitive exchange with Nolan from Hinge about this. Nolan seemed to think I was seeking personal information about the gender identity of this other person or for Hinge to take responsibility for my listing my own preferences wrong. I eventually gave up and quit my membership for now, saying I'd leave a review. I hope they fix their algorithm, but given how I was gaslit by Nolan, I doubt they will.

I'm a 62 year old young at heart, well kept woman in the lower mainland and there has been absolutely no potential on this site. No matches, no likes… Please don't waste your $$!

The worst experience ever. I can't believe the amount of obviously FAKE and DEAD profiles of men. It starts you off with super good looking, polished men firing at you with "Hellos" and incessant texting. After about 2 weeks, all of that stops! Only weird, ugly, unattractive, blurry, unsophisticated types of men.The moment you suggest communicating off of the app, or if a guys asks what you're looking for (seriously?) you tell him a possibly wonderful relationship, he immediately deletes you from his list. It's hilarious! Hinge is riding the wave of "Gambling" apps. They get you hooked, then make you feel compelled to buy a Boost as they control how often your profile is being seen and of course, they're filtering in only horrible profiles of bad matches that has NOTHING to do with your preferences or entirely fake and dead profiles. It's pure BS! They should go out of business. Put an end to this horrible treatment of humans. Don't do it! Get out there and live your life. Your King is out there, you have to first get off of these disgusting money grabbing, time wasting, BS and heartless Dating Apps!

Not my useful app waste full blade on your pocket. Never use this app ever again unless you're ready to poll ur money.

Don't use it. The worst dishonest app. Filing a lawsuit against them. Free apps have real people. These one is bs. They force people to buy boosts. Asian man who created it just hates all women and especially white women. No wonder he had to create this app.

I just downloaded hinge and went through what seemed to be an impressive profile setup allowing photos and videos and a lot of information but once I did all that the website or app doesn't seem to make sense there doesn't seem to be a way to actually search for members based upon certain criteria like age etc they just keep showing me profiles of women that are overly attractive and much younger than me which makes me think there's nobody compatible and a lot of the profiles are fake uninstalling it after it's been installed for 10 minutes

Hinge blocks genuine accounts for no reason

I made a new account with a new phone number and didn't get any matches so I emailed hinge and found out that they blocked my account. They gave me a generic cookie cutter copy and paste answer with no explanation why they blocked me.

I've been a long-time user of hinge and now I can't use it (after getting a new phone number) and I don't even get any explanation. A while back there was so many fake profiles, where I would constantly report them but it didn't stop more new fake profiles being made. But now my genuine profile is the one to be blocked. I'll be spreading my story to all my friends and warn them of how unfair hinge are to its genuine users- while at the same time allowing floods of very obviously fake accounts to be on the app.

Since hinge doesn't even make an attempt to resolve genuine users' issues or complaints, the only choice I have is to review and complain about it on every possible platform, consumer rights and third party review websites.

The hinge email response:
Hinge actively identifies behaviors that violate our Terms of Service. Your account has been permanently removed due to either or a combination of violations you've received against your account by other members, and/or our own independent determination.

As noted in our Terms of Service, "Hinge reserves the right to investigate and, if appropriate, suspend or terminate your account without a refund if you have violated these Terms, misused our Services, or behaved in a way that Hinge regards as inappropriate or unlawful, on or off our Services." To protect members' privacy, we will not disclose any further details about the reason for this ban. We understand that this policy may be frustrating but it's an important part of our efforts to keep Hinge safe.

To cancel your subscription and request a refund (if you are a paid member) to avoid any further subscription auto-renewal charges, please follow the steps on either the iTunes site or the Google Play site.

I unfortunately paid for the subscription once i realized you can't really do much on it until you pay. Then i found out that they pull certain profiles that are you "best matches" and you have to pay MORE to get a "rose" in order to let those people know you are interested. It's the definition of a SCAM. It's not "meant to be deleted" or they would give you a fair shot at seeing all your matches once you pay them too much in the first place!

As many others on here have said…. I went to open the app and found I was banned. I'm in shock. I can't even imagine why. I looked at their terms of service and its a mile long and mentions everything under the sun! There is some funny business going on. I upgraded a couple times for a month. There are a ton of fake profiles with modeling photos of guys from Europe! They all have a similar story. I ask them to verify their identity. Maybe they kicked me off fir that. Maybe they only want people that are spending money on the app! And if that's the case, it's discriminating. I'm a well respected professional in my community as a mental health provider over 27 years! This app is shady and I sure wouldn't recommend it. I felt that way before I got banned so they did me a favor! I never got a chance to delete my profile. I bet they leave them on!

I work in the legal field and are a fairly attractive man. I can tell you right now from personal experience and meticulous observation, that they have a algorithm setup that is 98 percent fraudulent. 90 percent fake profiles, bots, 5 percent are actual prostitutes looking for work, and maybe 5 percent real women who are mostly overweight and unattractive. The prostitutes use this site to lure men outside Hinge, but label themselves as "Escorts" or "Companions" and will give you their actual hourly rate. If you report them, you will see them just in another fake profile with different photos but same person. I had this happen not once, but five different times! The WORST part of this site, is that any attractive profiles would fake photos they force you to pay for "Roses" just for the privilege to like them and send them a message, while all other ugly profiles which are consequently also mostly all fake, are free to like if you have a paid subscription. So essentially HINGE is a big pile of gigantic gartbagepile of $#*! to waste your time and money! Bro you are better off to going to some classy bars, events, and social gathering to meet real women, then settling for this dating app run by the mafia. (Think about it, only scumbags would run a business practice like this to rip people off and have their prostitutes working for them within the site! - scumbags - need to get all arrested for fraud and illegal trafficking).

Went through hundreds of profiles and all the same fat women and Asian crypto scammers. You don't have to believe me. Try it for yourself. You will see. Buyer beware. Save your money gentleman you been warned.

It's free. But the Hinge algorithm knows my preferences very well, and puts the best matches out of reach unless I pay for "roses" to communicate with them. I'm then suppose to give the closest matches "roses" which is just creepy. So I have to pay for the privilege of disturbing the most suitable women.

All major dating apps are owned by Match group which have heavily monetized and not revolutionized online dating as they claim. Hinge has a kinda decent format unfortunately filled with abandoned accounts, fake profiles and the ugliest shortest fattest weirdest baldest individuals that do not fit my preferences. As a free user I can't really use that option it's a locked feature. Hinge shoves the same hideous profiles down my throat and offers nothing else. It just seems the algorithm and messaging system don't work correctly and worst than that just aren't really many attractive or credible users to find a potential match. So it's very disappointing and I almost need therapy from the repetitive stack of goblins I have seen on there! Designed to be deleted because this app sucks and filled with atrocious dare I say "human beings".

BEWARE! Hinge Site Took $89.99 for 6 Month Subscription than Canceled my account after 4 Days.

They sent a vague email saying I had violate their Terms of Service by their own independent determination. When I asked what I did wrong and if I could get my money refunded they sent me this explanation.

(Hinge reserves the right to investigate and, if appropriate, suspend or terminate your account without a refund if you have violated these Terms, misused our Services, or behaved in a way that Hinge regards as inappropriate or unlawful, on or off our Services.)

Also, this site is full of FAKE PROFILES. These fake profiles contact you and than try to scam you out of your money once they move you off site. Please BEWARE! This site is a TOTAL SCAM SITE run out of Columbia.

I just took a break from OkC which has worked so well for me. I've gone out on so many dates on OkC that I got exhausted. So I decided to try Hinge. I uploaded 6 pics because it limits you to only 6 unlike other dating sites. Then you're forced to set up prompts. And you can't choose a different way to express yourself. Never mind that it's already a distorted BS. Then it only shows me "perfect images" of way too polished fraternity-type of guys. Then Hinge forces me to upgrade every second without even giving me a chance to explore it. Even Tinder is better than this degrading obnoxious app. Never again.
