Ratings and reviews

I'm not the most attractive guy, I get it. However, I have had this app for close to 6 months at this point and have gotten less than 5 matches, I believe I'm exactly at 4. Of those 4, one was even remotely close to me (approx. 30 miles from me). Every other match was >90 miles away, even with mileage filter being set for under 35. Something needs to change.

No matching algorithm: it makes me swipe through hundreds of profiles similar to ones I've already rejected. The limitation on writing is frustrating—it's hard to say much in the allowed space, so few people manage much useful information. The 24-hour time limit means that i risk missing a match whenever I go adventuring for the weekend. I've lost many promising matches this way. They probably would have ended in tears anyway, but still...

The algorithm is literally designed to show you to a few people when you begin your profile, then disregard you until you pay for the subscription. After which, if you dont pay for the micro-transactions, it shows you to less and less people over time. Other apps utilize similar algorithms but only Bumble is as blatantly obvious in its use. You're much better off using Hinge, which is actually usable on a free account.
