Ratings and reviews

Happn has fewer settings than similar apps and notably lacks a filter for languages spoken, so you have no idea if you can communicate with a match, particularly if you don't speak the local language in your area. A distance setting is also missing. It's not good enough simply to look for local matches if someone might be willing to relocate within a country for the right match. E-mail verification fails with a server error, and support says it cannot be verified later. Not worth paying for.

Cool concept but the app is incredibly slow. I've tried it on two different smartphones. Browsing profiles to swipe, checking messages, checking anything... The app loads and loads. Then they gave the GUI, colors, and logo a complete overhaul and it's even slower! Also, it gives a lot of fake messages and notifications that are just the app telling you to upgrade. The company seems bent on aesthetics and pressuring users to upgrade rather than providing a good experience.

Its an interesting concept, except I have yet to find anything in the app that's actually supposed to help you find a match, other than where two users just happen to be at a given time. Also, it's incredibly slow to get matches unless you live in a city like New York or Atlanta. Matching was on all day at work for 2 days and as I went to the airport standing around a couple 100 people. For all of that time, I got 4 possible matches (none at the airport either). This app needs improvement.
