Hinge

over past month I started reusing this on android it has been plagued by bugs. to be able to use it is have to force stop and restart the app every single time. even then it doesn't let me access match conversations before crashing again. can't receive push notifications. wtf happened to hinge's development team?

Used to be a good app. Now its filled with nothing but profiles with one single(often blurry) picture who are obviously not active users. Seeing as how this is a huge complaint on here and Hinge has done nothing to address it I am guessing this App is dead.

Well, it's finally time to take the ol boy out back and put a bullet in his lifeless carcass. He has no bite. No life. No future to hope of. It was a good run, friend. See you on the other side.

Sucks for all the reviewers that aren't having great matches, but I like the app. It's simple to use and so far I've gotten to meet pretty great people. I recommend it to my friends all the time!

I've used quite a few of the dating apps out there and have a consistent match rate on all of them. My rate on hinge is almost non existent at less than 1 per week.

The messaging platform has been terribly unreliable which usually means not knowing when you have new matches or messages. Lock screen notifications have appeared sometimes, but not usually. When I open the app, there are usually no new message notifications, even when there are new messages, and in the conversation list you can't tell who sent the last message. I'm also signed into the app on two devices, and see a different conversation list on each device (?!?). Could be great if they get this fixed.

Can't save profile data < ---- main problem. The idea is great, most of the app functions just as I would expect and hope. However, it's all completely pointless unless I can change my profile data. I've reported this multiple times and the response I got was, essentially, "sorry it's not better." This has been going on for months.

Most days there are only 1 or 2 profiles. And in the three or so months that I have had this app, have yet to get a match. Complete waste of time.

I like the app in theory but it's completely buggy on Android. Matches won't load, and you won't even get notified of other matches. I reinstalled after a bad crash and found 4 new matches that were a week old and have never registered in the first place. Time to use other dating apps I guess.

I'm only able to open this app once after I download it. Every other time I try to open it I get an error message saying it can't detect a proper connection...even though every other app on my phone works fine.

It's kind of sad just how tremendously buggy this app is. I find my messages never get sent and I get no notifications. A lot of promise but an incredibly shoddy product.

Hahaha, I told you that the expiring matches idea was an extremely Stupid idea. I bet you lost about half of your user base, right? I really thought for a while there that you were going to hold onto that feature until it dragged you down into bankruptcy and failure. If you can survive still, and if you can recover from that huge misstep is yet to be seen. Anyway, any chance you can bring those matches back now?

This app is a waste of time. You never match with anyone and it's all fake profiles. Don't waste your time

The device permissions on this to acces location/take up the entire screen do not work correctly, and the "zoom in on the map to your location" does not work. Since you have to have a location with your profile, I cannot create an account

App is not user friendly. Why can't I just automatically see the full profile? Click to see profile, click to see pictures, it should all just be there! I also got a notification saying someone on my list likes me but there was ZERO indication who that person was. It also automatically uploads FB profile picture which is often times group shots making it impossible to know who's profile you're looking at. I love the concept it's just poorly executed.

A cannot connect error message appeared and won't go away no matter if refresh or have wifi

Seems like very little effort has gone into this, and someone is just using it to mine Facebook data.

Nobody ever contacts me on hinge. It's a waste of time.

This app used to be amazing! Now I have to un-install and re-install in order for my matches to update.... That's ridiculous.

The update removed all my matches. Why cant i hv the liberty of talking at my own convenience. Time out is a Crap feature. Remove it and restore my matches!

I've never got a match since they've updated this a couple of months ago. Almost every single time I use the app, every single day, it would say that "someone in the queue already likes me" I got email all the time saying that such and such is a potential match ready to meet me. Then I would go and click "like" for every single one and still never get the match. And I do this every single time I use the app, almost every single day for about a few months.This used to be one of the best dating app outhere

The app is filled with sketchy profiles containing single pictures, often wedding pictures. After some questioning, I believe these are leftover from people who deleted the app, but didn't know they also had to rescind the app's permissions in Facebook. So the app continues to show their profile, presumably without their knowledge or consent. Not cool...

I get a ton of new people every day but they all have just one picture that's blurry or sometimes changes to a different picture when you click on it. Never get any matches anymore, it's as if they're not real profiles but are just taken from Facebook pictures of friends or friends of friends. I've tried liking every single one for days and nothing... bout to uninstall. It used to be good.

***edited*** So, I'm just back on and re-downloaded after getting out of a relationship, and the app is much more stable now! There are still some issues with messages not showing up, but it's looking really good so far!

Great social app. Let's you connect with like minded ppl. Only issue I face which I believe is common in every other social app is that the match turnout rate is to low and one runs out of patience. I would like to recommend if app allows to send chats or initial message to connect to the counter matches.

Used to be a great app where you could meet people with friends in common. Active users, easy interface and a smooth running app made this thing great. Then the update happened. Matches stopped happening. Profiles stopped having multiple pictures and the app would grind to a halt and crash. The worst part is there's been no attempt to fix any of it. Head over to Bumble or back to tinder if you're looking for a working app.

As a male, I haven't had to worry much about being sexually harassed on dating apps (except that one time..) and I downloaded hinge because my tech friend said it was new and hot. The app has changed a lot since then, including a timer. While it bugged me at first it's made my app cleaner; if a connection isn't made the conversation just disappears. Plus, the inevitably of timing out encourages me to make a move instead of having conversations for months. The problem is that there are less people on it.

Worked well until a few days ago. Before only a few profiles would come with only one blurry profile pic. Now everyone's profile shows like that and cannot get a match whether someone in the queue has liked me or not already. Great idea for an app but lacking execution, has always been super buggy.

Tons of obviously fake profiles, I almost never get notified when I receive a message/match, and then there is the time limit. It just deletes your matches no warning or anything that time is running out. No way to send one last message or something to try and get their phone # or anything, and you lose access to all their info pictures, and your entire conversation. I have one last match I'm talking to but after that this app is getting deleted.

This app was actually pretty good, in concept, back in 2015. Now, it's terrible. No photo cropping, limited profile, notifications don't work, matching/messaging is super glitchy. Also hasn't been updated in 6+ months, so it's likely abandoned.

This app used to be fun, but it's nothing more than a shell of what it used to be. Also the picture feature stinks. It's not compatible with Google Photos so I have to get my pictures from facebook and instagram only. That's pretty weak.

The majority of profiles I come across only show one blurry picture when I know they have more pics because sometimes they reference them in their bio. Also, sometimes a profile will only show one picture, then you attempt to view the user's photo and it's a completely different pic. When you attempt to contact support, you get an automated email response that doesn't answer your specific question.

Great in concept, but the app stability is AWFUL. It crashes every time I try to open the messages tab, and their tech support only replies with automated emails. I can't see any new messages because every time I click on a conversation, the app crashes. Sucks because I've had cases where matches messaged me, but I didn't get them for days because it wouldn't update them. Clearing app data seems to temporarily help w/ msg issue but I literally have to do it 2x a day! Very frustrating!!

Im not sure whats going on, used to be my favorite dating app, but now I only get profiles that seem to be fake, only one blurry pic, no info, and in the beginning where I would get a match everyday or so, its now been almost a month without a match. Seems like somethings up.

The app is getting worse. It's extremely rare more than one picture loads and it won't let me click to see the whole picture, I tried reloading the app, no help. 7/16 edit: I'm back on the app and the same issue still exists, I downloaded the newest version, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing changed.

App is always buggy, crashes, and now has a weird timer forcing you to message people which just strikes me as a stressful addition when dating apps should be fun! Sorry, but it's a big fail, deleting app now, timer was the kicker, cheers

This app will not be my go to until they allow me to pick from my own fb albums for photos, not just profile pics or tagged pics or instagram. They need to listen to their users to raise their ratings and to get more attractive members to use it.

I like the app otherwise, but forcing a timeline on a match is completely unnecessary and rather ruins the whole experience. I've had several good conversations disappear. I want to speak with people on my own time.

Hinge was originally advertised as being like a Tinder for more serious people and different through the use of common connections. Their slick website showcases all the amazing profiles that are out there... Unfortunately, it does not in any way deliver. Over 95% of profiles contain only one grainy picture, most likely pulled from a Facebook profile pic. The way the app works to get profile pictures is entirely unintuitive. Furthermore, the app is very buggy.

What happened to the undo button? And why do so many profiles on the queue only have 1 picture? Also I wonder if many of the profiles are fake or from hacked Facebook accounts since the profile pic is a wedding pic!
