    Have found very few fakes on the site however customer support is the worst it can get. They never address your issues - they keep trying to tell you to check everything else on your phone or computer when the problem is their site. Untold times I have gals sending likes that I am unable to send messages to and instead It just changes the screen to show the messages to other gals I've already messaged.

    Zoosk is a money terrorist; they take my money any way they want. I signed in months ago, and as soon as I tried, I did like it and wasted my time. There are a lot of fake people, so I cancelled it, but months later, Zoosk did an automatic renewal charge. I did try to contact them, but no one responded to it, so I had no choice but to close my credit card. If any company doesn't have a customer service #, we should not give them the credit card information; they will take money anyway they want. If you want to regret like me, go try it. But my suggestion is don't try, don't cry, and don't say " I should listen to the review." Just ignore Zoosk advertisement.

    Garbage dating site. Waste of money and time, the women are not interested in dating. They are interested in guys that buy Zoosk coin and promote their live pages. I don't recommend this garbage site to anyone.

    I am seeing the same profiles “online” no matter when I look. People are "viewing" back and forth without commenting. None of my comments have been responded to. For me this was a waste of money. I wish I could get a refund.

    Up until 2020 Zoosk was a great site but they have now started to block messages expecting you to pay more money for read receipt. It's become a scam to get people to just keep spending money on coins.

    A ZOOSK subscriber for 4-5 yrs. Had problem, today, sending a message to someone I had already connected with. Error message. "Refresh page" to no avail. You cannot reach them, as they have chosen a third-party (for a fee to YOU) to handle incoming complaints/issues. This is something new. I just paid $39. in May for another 6 months. Mistake. The site has so many problems. It has become inoperable. A shame, I have lost touch with many contacts, as well as all confidence in this site to function properly. Be advised.

    The Zoosk Dating site in my opinion is not worth it, out of 100 views, I messaged the users, because I thought it was weird that with that many Views I didn't get any Chats. So I decided after seeing users view me many times to send chats to them. I was surprised that only 2 users responded, that tells me a very high percentage are not paying users and don't have the chat feature. You will never have a date if you cannot plan to meet through chat. I also believe there are many old accounts, the photos are there but users no longer use the app. Very deceiving. A lot of users seen. But are they active.

    App doesn't work properly. Most attempts to message yield "oops something went wrong." Support is useless. Gave me runaround when I tried to cancel. The people on there might be ok if I could message them, but no luck. Save your money and angst.

    After a week I had at least 10 women block me for just saying Hi. These women I would rate about a 3 out of 10...and wanting a night and shining armor to ride in and scoop them up. I am not the most handsomest man in the world but deserve better than what was there. Do yourself a favor and find something else. The women there look down on you like you're not worthy and most I would not take to a dog fight even if they were the defending champ. Go elsewhere.

    The Zoosk Chat consistently fails. There are types of failures. 1) You send a first message to an individual and the message completely disappears and you are no longer able to contact the individual as they are supposed to appear in a Chat Queue. Because both the individual and message are not in the chat queue, you can no longer message with them. 2) You send a first message and it gets read and then the individual will send a response but you never receive and it, and any further messages you send, apparently aren't sent either as they are never read. (I have the Zoosk premium feature that allows me to see when my messages are read). 3)You send a first message and it remains unread, even though the person viewed you a few minutes earlier. The person you sent the message to is in the Chat Queue but your message is never read.

    I've contacted their Help Desk Multiple times about this issue. I've even provided them the specific person I'm trying to contact and you'll receive a response that they've forwarded my problem to Technology. The problem does not get fixed and eventually their Help Desk will ignore any further communication. Apparently it's a problem they can't fix.

    The Zoosk Chat used to be reliable. If you look at their Home Page, both the Chat and Like indicate that they are new. The Like doesn't work either. My guess, they launched it before thoroughly testing. Zoosk needs to go back to their old Chat. At least it worked. Their new chat is unreliable and incredibly irresponsible as I'm positive multiple users are having the exact same issues that I've just outlined. I wish someone would launch a class action suit against them as they are well aware of the issues, but either don't care or don't have the resources to fix the problem. Original Tip

    The worse experience ever! I have actually blocked men who keep contacting me, and made it clear I'm not interested in and they pop up again! I'm 71 yo and don't look my age so I picked ages 55 to 72 and they keep changing it to their recommendations! Men in their mid to late 80s! What?! Not enough good matches at all. So frustrating. Do not recommend at all.

    Closed my account, with no explanation and no recourse. Money gone. I had exposed a scammer, so they knew how to get revenge. They contacted Zoosk and accused me of something, {I assume}. Zoosk bought it without asking me, and canceled me. Entire subscription lost.

    I'm very disappointed with Zoosk. I've met very few people on here, and it never turns into anything more than a one-time coffee date.. Their customer service number is also incorrect. It's been disconnected, but still listed online (888.939.6675). And now, as of May 2025, they not only charge you a subscription fee, but you have to pay $4.99 to actually allow someone to message you??? What a RIP-OFF.

    After being on this site for a few times it takes forever to fix your password recently. My subscription was still good for three weeks and it was just turned off after contacting the website. They needed pictures of what was going on and then just dropped it and then they asked how they did. It’s the worst Customer service I’ve seen in a long time. They don’t care about you. They just care about their money.

    I never get anywhere on Zoosk but just get completely ignored and I think I am fairly good looking. System doesn't work well. I got informed a woman wanted to chat with me but I was not able to contact her. I get lots of messages that someone has viewed me but only twice out of at least a hundred messages did anyone contact me back and then after their one contact they suddenly disappeared. Something is very wrong with Zoosk. I feel as if I have entered a madhouse where people are definitely trying to harm me financially and emotionally. I tried it for three months and I won't return.

    Worst dating app ever. I have had maybe 5 likes. All from 3000km+ away. I'm on other apps and never had such a poor response. I feel like they have stocked fake profiles. It keep saying I've had views... always the same 9 people. No way is someone looking over and over without sending or responding to a message. The app is not user friendly. You can't limited distance so the few people who did contact me were on the other side of the country. It's just a money grab. DO NOT WASTE A PENNY ON THIS.

    The latest version of the app is totally messed up. It does not allow you to delete anyone you are not interested in. I wrote to customer service and they told me just block the member, which I felt it's totally unnecessary. Just delete the conversation. But after exhausting all methods of trying to delete I decided I would block the member. Guess what??? That does not delete the conversation either. All I have is tons of messages that are useless and there's no way to get rid of them. They took the membership money and now if it's possible it's such a horrible app and I would never join had I known this was going to happen.

    This site is the worst that I have encountered. Suggested matches are routinely offered but are way out of range (mileage) for the search preferences - sometimes several hundred miles. The "Carousel" feature is nothing more than a series of photos with no description other than member age, so you are asked to choose based on appearances only. You will then be given a suggested match which is, again, well outside of the geographic search range. The same is true of the "Smart Picks" feature - routinely outside of the geographic search region, so what is "smart" about that? Both the search and smart picks often ignore the search criteria that has been entered - smoker vs. non-smoker, ethnicity, body styles. What is the point of providing the information if it is only being ignored? Fortunately, I only signed up for one month, but it was money poorly spent.
