    Paid for safety. Got nothing. I subscribed to Tinder Gold specifically for the Dealbreaker filter — a paid feature marketed as a hard limit on distance and age. I set 27km and age 42-55. Both toggles active. Tinder matched me with someone 7,842km away and decades outside my range. That match cost me my life savings to romance fraud. The moment I complained, the out-of-range matching stopped completely. They quietly fixed their own defect — no disclosure, no apology, no compensation. The scammer's account I formally reported was deleted with no history retained.

    I have been in correspondence with Match Group's legal department for over three years. Their position: not our problem. They sell safety features they cannot guarantee. When those features fail and you lose everything, they run. Do not trust paid safety features on this platform. They are not guaranteed. They are not monitored. And when they fail, you are on your own.

    Should be "0". You pay for every little thing. It's expensive. They have outdated old profiles. Many many phoney profiles. Some with covid stuff on them. They have phoney bots to make you think you are talking to a real person. Short word answers to keep you going....all BULLSHIT. Nobody can provide a current picture when asked. I met one person and she had 50 condoms next to her bed. I left. Tinder is pure garbage.

      Nothing but a SCAM. Bots are all over this site. You pay an upfront initial fee, then you have to pay MORE just to communicate. A BS site that should be made to be taken down because it is a SCAM.

      Too many verifications. Took our money. No refunds. Unethical. No tangible net value addition.

      The worst dating app I’ve ever experienced! Continuously makes me verify myself 3 times in a 24 hour period and you’re locked out while waiting! I can’t wait to get back in so I can delete my account and I paid for Platinum!

      Racist and anti-Semitic. Avoid this site! They should be ashamed of themselves and to top it all they won’t give you their reason for deleting and banning accounts. They must be too ashamed to do so! I hope they are investigated.

      Customer Service

      Reviewed Dec. 6, 2025

      I have been a member of Tinder for many years. I have repeatedly had issues with verification messages that I tried to take a selfie and the process never completed and also the screen went blank while trying to take a picture. This has happened repeatedly to me, and I am very annoyed after the last communication with them that it is happening again. Their customer service is horrible and I urge anyone who is a paid subscriber to cancel their membership and if enough people follow my recommendation, maybe they'll get the message. Additionally, If you know anyone else who has had problems like mine, Please feel free to leave a negative review, as there is a greater impact obviously with more people leaving negative reviews. Thank you.

      Tinder feels like a chore disguised as an app. Instead of meeting real people, you end up swiping through an endless loop of half-finished profiles, old photos, and copy-paste prompts. Matches rarely speak, and when they do, conversations fizzle instantly. The whole experience feels rushed and shallow. The app itself is slow, glitchy, and packed with paywalls. Every useful feature hides behind a subscription that costs more than it should. Even then, you still get the same low-quality matches and the same tired UI. It feels like the app exists to milk you, not to help you meet anyone.

      Safety and support are almost nonexistent. Fake profiles slip through constantly. Reporting them feels pointless, because nothing changes. It leaves you wondering why you’re spending time in a space that does not seem to care about its users. Overall, Tinder drains your time, patience, and money. It promises connection but delivers frustration. If you are looking for something real, this is not the place to find it.

      Pure trash run by a trash company that deliberately designed their product to give you almost no matches. The rabbit hole goes deep but match group are already named in multiple lawsuits for defrauding users. The quality of the user base is also trash.

      Billing

      Reviewed Sept. 21, 2025

      Tinder has some shady business practices like if your subscription billing date is on the 19th, they actually bill you on the 18t,h so everyone that plan to cancel their subscription on the 19th can't for another month and of course, get billed that extra month. Shady shady shady. No thanks.

      Tinder author review by Mark Brooks

      Tinder is a mobile dating app that can be downloaded and used for free. It is currently the largest and most popular dating app online with over 50 million downloads. It is best known for its extremely popular swiping feature.

      • Social Media Login: Tinder uses your Facebook profile as a means of sign up for their dating app. This helps prevent fraud and makes it easy to quickly import information and photos over to Tinder so you can begin searching immediately.

      • Swiping: Tinder's popular swiping feature allows members to quickly move through matches until they find people of interest. If you do not like the profile you are looking at, swipe left and you will not see them again. If you are interested, swipe right. If you accidentally swipe in the wrong direction, you can now pay to unswipe a match.

      • Consent before contact: While most dating sites will let users contact anyone in their membership ranks, Tinder will only allow you to contact someone if you have both "Swiped Right" on each other.

      • Quick local matching: Tinder is most popularly used as a way to meet people the same day within close proximity.
