“Hinge is great for meeting your friends friends”

Mika T.
6/1/15

By far the best dating app for meeting people that are in the peripheries of your social circles. So if you want someone that went to the same school as you or someone that isn't totally creepy Hinge is definitely better than Tinder and all of those others.

“Now it is more of a money scam”

Jim S.
6/17/24

This site is a waste of time and money: inappopriate matches, scant search results, very few real people, pretentious and self-absorbed women - my time on Hinge was pointless - it's one of the worst apps, they have no active profiles of genuine ladies. I don't regret leaving Hinge, but I wish Hinge had at least a few real authentic women accounts from my country. Now it is simply a money scam.

I met Bruno 3 years ago. He has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and narcissistic tendencies. He mentally and physically abused me and was charged with 5 counts of assault. He also verbally and sexually abused me and treated me with complete disrespect. This man is very sick and dangerous. He appears to be charming and friendly but he is not. Please ladies do not engage or get involved with this man He will hurt you and destroy you.
I added his picture.

Attempted to delete account. No verification email was received to my email address. Contacted hellohinge to request permanent deletion to be told my account is banned? And I am to send passport to verify it's me this was in Dec 2023. Heard nothing since. Seeking legal action for unlawful data harbouring.

I paid $90 for a 6-month subscription. After using Hinge for seven weeks, I was suddenly disconnected from my account. I tried to restore it but haven't found real tech support other than the feedback page on the website. Someone wrote back to me with confirmation that my account was deleted, and they cannot help in case my number has been changed. No phone numbers to call to debate, no emails to file a claim, and still no refunds. Unacceptable.

Tip for consumers:
A lot of fake profiles, as well as fraudulent transactions.

After 2 days of messages sent to profiles my account was banned with no explanation, they collected 3 months fee and have refused to refund as they say I have breached the agreement but will not tell me what term I have breached. I had no contact with anyone on this site. Its a scam stay away you have been warned.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t go there, check independent reviews, try free access for at least one week before spending your hard earned cash. Beware your account will be banned for unexplained reason

I unfortunately paid for the subscription once i realized you can't really do much on it until you pay. Then i found out that they pull certain profiles that are you "best matches" and you have to pay MORE to get a "rose" in order to let those people know you are interested. It's the definition of a SCAM. It's not "meant to be deleted" or they would give you a fair shot at seeing all your matches once you pay them too much in the first place!

Tip for consumers:
Just don’t subscribe to it unless you plan on paying an additional $30-$75 in order to be able to “like” the profiles that are your best matches.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR $95.39 on a fake site. Probably affiliated with fraudulent Elite Singles. This practice should be illegal. I will dispute this charge.
Most profiles show the same cream colored lab dog and same voice on all recordings.

Don't use it. The worst dishonest app. Filing a lawsuit against them. Free apps have real people. These one is bs. They force people to buy boosts. Asian man who created it just hates all women and especially white women. No wonder he had to create this app.

Tip for consumers:
Never use this fake dishonest app.

I joined this app hoping it would be different from all other swiping apps out there, as they promote this app is its 'designed to be deleted, so I thought it's intended for people who look for serious relationship. What a fool I was. Hinge turned out to be absolutely the same as tinder, bumble etc... its full of fake profiles, players and men looking only for hookups. If you want to meet a decent, respectful and single man with serious intentions - please save your precious time and don't bother with Hinge, absolute joke that app is.

I'm pretty sure that this app is phony. I had lots of matches on free trial. When I upgraded my membership the majority of these matches were nowhere to be found. The only ones left were complete undesirables. I recommend not wasting your money on Hinge - it's a very dodgy app. I think it's full of fake profiles and bots, otherwise I don't get it why my matches disappeared when I was lured into getting premium membership. It's bait and switch, created for membership fees. The crooks who own and run it are just preying on our money.

I got banned before I even finished filling out my profile. Literally banned within minutes of them clearing my payment. No reason, no excuse, nothing. Just "you violated our TOS". I filed an appeal and two weeks in nothing. Not even a refund. WTF? Stay away from this app. Is the only advise I can offer. I didn't even get to see if anyone was compatible. Complete waste of money. Use an alternative like Bumble... PS you can't even get a refund if you violate their TOS. You can't even find out why you violated their nebulous TOS. Total ripoff...

Tip for consumers:
Horrible appeal process

Your preference does not matter with Hinge, they'll send you profiles that are NOT what you ask for! Very low quality dating site! They've sent me every extra large fat chick matches in Denver! So appalling! Don't waste your time with this site!

Hinge only works if you pay them and if you do they will ban you then run off with your money. My proof is the Better Business Bureau, the app store comments, a quick google search, and even the reviews here. This is blatant fraud and they should be sued. Minorities are also targeted and reported for having different beliefs.

Tip for consumers:
If you're going to use it, put gasoline on all your money and possessions and light it up with a match because you're going to throw your money away using this app and kill your phone battery. Goodluck though

As soon as you pay, you will start to be hounded to "upgrade" so you can be "seen better." It is deceptive to sell a platform without disclosing that you will only have access to part of it. I had only 3 matches in 4 months. Not worth my time or money.

There is an ongoing scam in Hinge. Multiple fake profiles that use a script when they match with you to collect your personal information. I have alerted Hinge multiple time and they respond with another script. Stay away from this app.

It's free. But the Hinge algorithm knows my preferences very well, and puts the best matches out of reach unless I pay for "roses" to communicate with them. I'm then suppose to give the closest matches "roses" which is just creepy. So I have to pay for the privilege of disturbing the most suitable women.

This site is dangerous. When a scammer on the site got my name and pictures and threatened me, I tried to report it to protect other users, but Hinge has no customer service and does not care about safety. And theres no refund from Hinge after the scammers on their dangerous site harm you. I'm reporting this to the FTC and filing a small claims just so Hinge gets the message... which us owned by Match.

Worst app! Only scammers contact you.
Hinge should be ashamed for allowing so many scam artists on this site! There is no security or filters to protect clientele from offshore fraud. Don't waste your money or time on Hinge! Plus They don't give you your money back

I've been on Hinge for a few months and thought it was a good app. But in the past week I saw the same guy under 2 different names. Reported it to Hinge and they said they'd take cAre of it. Being whores for money they did absolutely nothing. The scammer is still on using different names and I reported him again. This time they're ignoring me. Watch out ladies, Hinge is NOT looking out for us!

Me and my husband had an account on here, and it was deleted for no reason. We were paying members and was able to restore the membership after we recreated another account. So if you are poly stay away.

Not only refused to offer a refund despite offering one on their preset email chain. But I reported someone for having fake profile photos of a celebrity and I got banned. This lady who I called out clearly made a fake report about me and they didnt both to look that it came from someone with fake profile photos.

Tip for consumers:
Theyre vile for favouring female reports over male reports

I just downloaded hinge and went through what seemed to be an impressive profile setup allowing photos and videos and a lot of information but once I did all that the website or app doesn't seem to make sense there doesn't seem to be a way to actually search for members based upon certain criteria like age etc they just keep showing me profiles of women that are overly attractive and much younger than me which makes me think there's nobody compatible and a lot of the profiles are fake uninstalling it after it's been installed for 10 minutes
