I exited my premium membership after 3 days. 60% of guys I had a short conversations with were scammers. I started a conversation with individuals and I got emails from EliteSingles saying that those individuals were forced out because their profiles were fake. I got 2 emails on the first day, 3 emails on 2nd day, and another 2 emails on 3rd day and I decided to exit the website. They always ask your phone number right away so it's kind of obvious that they are scammers.
The fact that EliteSIngle were catching those scammers and forcing them out is great, they are doing something about the situation but the amount of scammers on this website is bit too many.

Worst app ever!
August 20, 2022

You have to send a message 2-3 times because it is that glitchy. I have canceled the app less then 24h, they push you to Google Pay, where there is no person to talk with. Agreement is that if you tried to send one message they get to keep your money. They kept the money for the whole 6 months. I have sent them messages with screenshots saying message can't send. This company won't do anything about it. They just keep your money.

Waste of money
January 28, 2020

A lot of my matches are not highly educated (blue collar jobs), of the 20 daily matches and maybe 3 live in Manhattan where I live. I questioned Elite Singles and they told me there is no screening so it is a hoax. I have had much better luck on free sites. I wish I had read the reviews ahead of time as it seems others agree with me. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

Bad Scammer Site
March 25, 2022

Far too many scammers each night! I get bombarded with fake messages from women 30 years younger than I am. If they exit! Worst site of those I've tried.

Constant problems logging in

After paying a premium price for this service I have had constant issues trying to log in. The app login does not work at all. The website is clunky and not user friendly

My advice - AVOID
July 12, 2020

Warning - read the T&C - my advice AVOID!.
Poor matches - not worth what they charge. They get you with the auto renewal.
If you join this site PLEASE cancel the auto renewal - they give you no warning (bar the T&C when you join) and then take over £200 out of your account without reminding you first and refuse to refund you if you want to leave.
There are other free sites out there that are much better than this!

AWFUL!
January 28, 2022

Elite Singles is a nightmare! First, it is based in Germany, so forget the idea that they might have any degree of customer service or responsiveness. The quality of the matches is abysmal. Old, gross, inappropriate and uneducated is an understatement. The remainder are scammers or fake profiles. The men are low class and grubby and their communication is typically disrespectful and dumb. There is no 'algorithm' for members and matches other than someone's credit card payment clearing. Your stated matching criteria will NEVER be met including location, age and race. It is also possible that they will share your profile on their other websites without your knowledge or permission. The positive reviews you may see about them on other sites are also fake. Spark Networks is a dubious company that makes money shamefully taking advantage of people and putting the safety of their real members at risk without any sense of responsibility or concern. I believe my bank account was hacked as a direct result of contact with one of their matches. Steer clear of this website! You will be glad you did.

Scammers Only
September 16, 2022

As far as I can tell, there are only scammers on this site. Please do not waste your money. Every person to contact me has been a scammer and I'm not even a month in.

Please people, do not even entertain the idea of joining Elite Singles. I have substantial evidence that many of the profiles simply DO NOT EXIST. There is currently a lucrative lawsuit against this Filthy Organization!

Absolutely atrocious
December 17, 2021

Elite singles is full of scammers using stolen photos from someone else's Instagram or Facebook page, someone was using my friends photos from Instagram and I told her about it and she's planning on suing, I'm not surprised when I get photos from women from Ghana or Nigeria because they are two of the four countries that are notorious for scams, don't waste your money on this site. I'm convinced that all the photos on this site were lifted

The matching algorithm is so poorly designed that it doesn't even respect the specified age group you are requested to fill out. It even asks you the importance level of the range you indicated. The same thing for other parameters, such as ethnicity preferences or height. Why even ask if this isn't even respected in the proposed matches. As an example, the age matches have been up to 32 yrs older than I have entered. I would say the majority are 10-15 yrs above my requested range. Same scenarios with the other parameters. I am extremely disappointed. In addition, the app itself doesn't work well and is out of sync with the web version. Pictures don't show up half the time or what you see on the web version isn't reflected on the app version. Very disappointing. I reached out to their support which is difficult to find and no response back from anyone months later. The concept of this site would have been otherwise a good one. But in practice, it's a total miss. I would absolutely not recommend to join. A total waste of money.

Total Garbage
May 23, 2020

The app is missing basic things that make it totally unprofessional, like the inability to delete message threads or edit the cropping of photos you upload (they just zoom in on your face). They claim to give you new matches daily but would barely get a handful and 90% of the time they are people who haven't signed up so you don't see a photo and hardly any profile information. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. Do not sign up with this site.

I am disgusted with such a despicable company. You cannot phone them or talk to a person, you only can text and then they want to charge you, to even text. I signed up and cancelled the same day. They state you can do this. However they are using my PROFILE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION... I CANCELLED IN WRITING. I am disputing through my bank. They completely lie. They send profile no pictures, did that only first day then nothing. I want my money back, my profile down. Or more bad reviews every day. I do not want t anything sent to me period, but getting my money back.

They are no better then the free datingapps, still they take a very big charge.
But the worst is that they try to steal the same ammount every year, until you block your creditcard, wich i noe have done.
This is NOT a serious app, and i want to warn everyone.

Please, if you are considering dating sites, DO NOT USE THIS ELITE SINGLES. Dating is hard. This site makes it worse by taking all of your money and promising results it will not deliver on. Please read the 'real' reviews and not the ones Elite singles are paying for. Everyone is disappointed by every part of their experience with this site. It's more like a scam, it really, really is. There are very few users so your chances of meeting someone are minute. It is extremely expensive. They just continue to take your money and the ease of use is extremely bad. Seriously THE WORST DATING SITE IN AUSTRALIA. Avoid this site at all costs. I think it's very sad that a company would take advantage of people who are looking for a good dating site. Shame on Elite Singles. Shame, shame, shame.

Fake Profiles
May 29, 2019

A friend put her profile ONLY on Match.com. A guy that was on Match AND Elitesingles was trying to contact her through Elitesingles. He finally got her on Match and told her that her picture was also on Elitesingles! She had nothing to do with Elitesingles.
And it seems hard to get ahold of Customer Service to get the profile deleted.
FAKE profiles.

Having their 72 hr. Window only to ask for a refund is RIDICULOUS! The3y kept sending me the same pitiful selections--miles away from my requested zone. The couple men I responded to, didn't respond to me, yet the site kept sending me the same folks.

I cancelled my subscription. Deleted the app. Now I still get guys interested in my profile. I tried to get into my account but it is gone. I just want my profile removed. Elite keeps saying I have to go back I to my account and give them a code. I have no account and can't give a code because the accout is not there. This is rediculious.

This site is awful. Clearly most of the profiles are fake. The site promises 6-7 matches daily, which is not possible, so the site creates fake profiles. Customer service is impossible to get ahold of. The contact email address does not work. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
