it's been a pretty terrible experience so far. every screen freezes and errors out. can't upload or change photos, I have no idea if my profile is even visible or working. seems like a cash grab dating app. after a couple days of using it... I am no longer shown any matches and there is no way to change their search algorithm preferences without paying. it's confirmed garbage.

Been on the app for over a month, and have only matched with bots. I can't match with anyone else because I've looked at all the available profiles, and once you do that you can't look at any more. Can't adjust the distance filter either, only age. Never had anyone cross paths with me, and even in the "vibes" category there's been like 3 people. I'm not paying, so I can't do anything on it, or even look at profiles. Easy uninstall.

Tl;DR Very promising but there were like three people on the whole app. Pros -very easy to use -showing nearby people / who have crossed your path is an amazing idea Cons -during setup, the app froze after each question and i had to force quit and reopen -not allowed to type in your favorite spots - you had to pick from a list. My mid-size city had one item to choose from, which just said duck pond. we don't even have one. -pretty much nobody on the whole thing.

Hello Marc-Anthony, We’re truly sorry to hear this. To see more profiles, ensure happn has “Always” location access and a stable Wi-Fi or 4G connection. This helps update your position and improve your chances of crossing paths with more people as you move around. For further help or any other concerns, please contact us at review@happn.fr.
