The best dating app to let you really be you and choose how you want to date online.
Forget the days of awkward online dating and become a POF member, where you can come exactly as you are. We’re here to help you create the same magic online that you would IRL.

Whether you’re into spicy dating games, live streaming, or sending a good-old-fashioned DM, we’ve got lots of options to make finding your person actually fun.
What you can do on POF is what makes us different:
- Play a dating game and have a laugh while doing it
- Search for exactly what you want
- Join a stream on Plenty of Fish Live! and meet others like you
- Restrict your first message count so you don't get 1 and 2 word intros
- Come as you are and find other real, down-to-earth people like you
Just click that install button to get started!

Version 21.30
This app used to be awesome it used to be five stars but now I will give it zero if I could, it obviously has different owners or something than they used to, don’t bother with plenty of fish any more they have too many restrictions now u pretty much can’t do anything unless you pay for it, just stick to Tinder
I can see this site being obsolete and not existent in the very near future if they don’t stop being so money hungry, if you go back to the way it used to be back in the good old days maybe you might be able to save your site but everybody I know has deleted POF

If you block someone they can still see you, it just takes away conversations in the messages and they cannot contact you. Other sites they cannot find you again. This is a buggy if you’ve had an issue with the person.
You also can’t unlike someone!! if you accidentally hit the like button & I’ve done that a few times, then people your not really wanting to contact think you like them. Not good.

Version 21.20
I have been Maliciously blocked by POF team due to my ex partner finding my profile and making complaints. Instead of asking for my side of the story I have been removed from the site. I paid the memberships fee and less than 24 hours late I was removed ( and yes I screenshoot her profile when she saw me ) I contacted their live chat and they escalated the case however it’s been about 2 weeks, ive sent a follow up email and no contact back from POF support. Just because someone says something doesn’t make it true. Especially in this case. Very very poor communication. But a little better than bumble with the live chat feature. P.s she did this to me to on bumble too. So having an actual block feature would have been very helpful - kinda like tinder has. it’s cost me $80 for nothing. What a joke

Hi there POF. While this dating app is quite good I have been scammed at least 4 times. It is an awful experience to feel you have connected with someone and have shared private things etc only to be then asked for Steam Cards etc. one scammer said he was sending me a package so I foolishly gave him my address. The next thing I knew I was receiving fake emails from Maersk the shipping company asking for 1500 euros for the package to be released from Turkish customs. It wasn’t until I received a few of the fake emails that I started to become suspicious of their language and. Content etc. I still feel saddened that I was tricked by these men and feel hesitant to trust again. I have since seen the same scammers going under another name with same pics. I have reported them and they have been banned.

I turned off my vpn and my account was created.
Not even 2 hours later, my account was removed due to violating some rule.
Contact customer service again, they’re response was ‘oh sorry about that, done accounts are flagged and automatically deleted before a human can review, please feel free to make another account.’
What a complete and utter waste of time.

A waste of time, do not bother with this App, a way to scam people for membership payments!
–
CheezeBurger420 –
2023-03-10
Version 20.40
The app caters towards those with paid membership! I’ve had multiple other users like me, besides the fact the likes are hidden behind a pay wall, I will circumnavigate through the Alerts to see the like; then scroll through the search page to locate them, then I will find them and go to their profile seeing I had liked them previously, not giving me the option to open dialogue even though we have a mutual like. I will click “message” only to receive a pop up that states “You’re not allowed to message this person” even though they liked me 30mins ago, meaning, the app is purposefully blocking contact between interested parties, in my opinion to specifically coax you into a paid membership.
Honestly, I have better luck meeting people out in public than I do on this app and I’m allowed to speak to people. I feel like this all has me scrolling and liking for about a hour a day of interaction, just for me to not allow me to contact anyone that I’ve linked with, on 6months, I’ve linked with about 50people, been able to contact 4of them, and only met 1 of them.
A waste of time, do not bother with this App, most likely a way to scam people for membership payments!

Version 20.20
I have been a POF member for 5 years and recently I have had my profile removed with the accusations that I’m married.
Reason given is that POF is trying to create a safe platform for singles yet POF also give the options of selecting if you are married etc etc.
I email customer service to fix this issue but after great review of my profile it was decided that I’m still married and not fit to be on a dating app.
Maybe I should email a copy of my divorce papers to customer service! Would this fix the issue??
I signed up using another phone and my account was cancelled again for violating regulations. I know married men on POF personally from my community and they are allowed to be there but a women who is single for 5 years and looking for something/someone will continuously get her account deleted under false allegations.
Well done POF!! Cheers 🥂 I have many genuinely single people and they will be advised NEVER to use POF in their lifetime!!
I don’t wanna be a part of your club anyway! So there!

Version 19.32
This is the worst dating app, in fact this app deserves to be blocked forever. I registered and paid for premium on this app and yet no meaningful match or date. Every profile here is fake, strategically placed to deceive you into paying more money. It’s worst if you are a person of colour trying to match or get a date, these fake profiles of ladies will view you but will never respond to your messages. Those who respond will later come back to read and never respond again or go inactive. The app will deceitfully match you with people you are not interested in. It was on this app that I had the worst dating experience of my life. I was deceitfully match with a lady who looked alright in pictures, only to go on a dinner date and discovered she’s a mental health patient. She forced me to pay for her 60$ dinner as she started displaying behaviour of concern. I had to oblige to avoid troubles.
Please avoid this st v p ! D POF app and don’t waste your money.

Ian Ventor –
2022-04-27
Version 18.00
This app has gotten progressively worse in dictating what they consider to be appropriate dating boundaries for adult users, i.e. people able to make their own decisions and consent. Now with “live” platform it feels like it’s veering towards becoming a cam site.
While this app has been geared towards genuine relationships more than the tinder style of hookup app, the ability to comprehensively search filter is undermined the app overwriting your parameters to provide you automatically with an array of matches, meaning you can’t “narrow it down”. If you have a particular inclination towards any kinks then you will really struggle.
Regardless, by the time/if you find someone that does align with your specific tastes they’ll either not reply through inactivity, the message will just expire or not send and not inform you of the fact it didn’t send, or for unexplained reasons you will be told that despite no former interaction that you aren’t allowed to talk to them, or because they haven’t I selected the upgraded messages setting you’ll have to upgrade, then likewise you’ll find that only 5% of them are active anyway, 50% of those you still can’t message anyway and the remaining few don’t match your tastes.
Has potential, but not sold on the app

Ex LinkedIn user –
2022-02-08
Version 17.60
Some accounts msg you and disappear. Lots of dodgy accounts. I guess that’s one of the issues with anyone msg you. Other apps it’s not so in my face as I control who I match with and only match with people who’s account seems genuine. So many fake accounts on here.
Have had a couple of conversations with potential. But the app has lots of glitches. I can no longer view my msgs - shame as we had a date penciled in. A workaround is that I can see them on the browser version, but can’t msg them. As a female I’m careful with my number until I’ve met the person. I now feel pressured to give out my personal details because the app no longer works. There is no easy way to report the issue to the developers.
On the plus, it has been nice to get feedback on my profile I usually wouldn’t. I put thought into my profile and with extra msgs I get feedback on how people see me. It’s nice to know the msg is generally getting across. Even if the number of msgs can be overwhelming.

Version 17.20
If you pay for an app but have no options. Want to send a message to mutual likes or viewed profiles a pop-up window appear and re-direct you to their matches not yours. What is the use of being on a dating app but you cannot select or choose what you like. Worse part is most features are not available if you don’t pay and then still you don’t have a free choice to choose or make friends. The matches the algorithm chooses is people you will never consider hanging out, its a cheap way of matching people who says “I like sport” now your a match. Needles to say I tried this app 5 years ago and only recently went on it again, the algorithm matched me with profiles with exact photos and people 5 years ago and still I don’t have anything in common or viewed or liked them. This app doesn’t deserve to be out there it’s false advertising and a waste of money. Even after you buy a membership this app still directs to buy tokens for more features that doesn’t support your interest.
Subscriptions are a trap…
–
Max12345689 –

Version 17.20
Just a caution to you all, once you subscribe it can be a rather confusing and difficult process to cancel. Evidently it’s not in their best interest to make it easy for you, though it still would be nice to have a simple “cancel membership” button in the app. Sadly their policy on refunds is that essentially they don't give them.
This seems to be a common issue with most B-grade dating apps these days as friends of mine had the same experience with POF and a couple similar apps. Needless to say that the app itself is a pretty disappointing experience even with all the fancy upgrades.
I hope this helps introduce some healthy skepticism when you consider subscribing for all those fancy upgrades, their business model is probably based off of people being charged for months or years after they finish using the app. I feel sorry for the staff forced to work for these modern day fraudsters.
Very poor matching system

Version 17.00
I’ve been using this site for a while now and my search parameters are set to strictly non smokers and to within a certain distance from my postcode. It’s a pity the matching system keeps matching me with smokers and people outside my my preferred distance. I don’t know what or who sets these matching algorithms but they are rubbish. I think that the search parameters should be extended to allow other options such as personality type among other. It seems to me POF are more than willing to profit off us single people but not improve your site. Come on get your act together.

The biggest issue with POF is the sheer number of scammers who’ve managed to create profiles on here using fake pictures borrowed from Instagram or by googling images of models. You have been warned. If it looks to good to be true it probably is. I’ve had three scammers in the last month contact me. If you are unsure download the persons picture and use the Google Reverse Image Search function to search for similar images. If they are scammers report them.
Possible scam!

Version 16.50
Using the app and the website at the same time, I noticed that I would get countless notifications on my phone telling me I’d received likes, but even after refreshing the website those same likes were never present! If I was fast enough to click on one of the phone notifications as it popped up, the profile was deleted before I could see it (not humanly possible)!
Now think!
What would a scammer get from fake liking you then deleting the profile? Nothing!
What would a catfish get from fake liking you then deleting the profile? Nothing!
What would POF get from fake liking you then deleting the profile? You signing up for premium because you think people are interested in you!
I emailed them about this and they did not respond!
Apart from the above, the site has a lot of scammers trying to get your information.
Happy to change this if POF can offer an explanation.
Great way to meet people, but a little pricey..

This is one of the better forums for meeting single people. Although it is very pricey. Three months is a lot to commit to for any dating site. What if I meet somebody within the first month. And I want to close down my account. I know that websites have to make money somehow. But, I think committing to 3 months upfront for $60 is a little rich. It would be quite nice if it was maybe five dollars more expensive a month, but you could opt out after one month. Just a thought

Version 16.00
It doesn’t take long to figure out that these “free” dating apps are only free until you actually want to use them to meet people.
5 minutes after I signed up, I get a notification saying 8 people like me... already? Wow! I should click to see who likes me, right? ...and there it is, the payment plans to choose from before you can see these 8 people who “like you”. Then there’s the upgrades to “prioritise your likes” for even more $$$.
POF is no different to Bumble or Tinder.

Version 15.20
I’ve paid to upgrade in the hopes of weeding out the fake profiles and to have a better experience with further options available with membership only to find that the websites information isn’t even correct. One persons apparently viewed me an hour ago yet it also says they haven’t been online since Monday. Another profile says online November but upon opening their profile it says last online February 11th. In messages it says message read however when I open it it says not read. So is it read or isn’t it??? I’m also constantly being matched with people in Perth...I’m in NSW Constantly being matched with drug users...I’ve stated I do not wish to date them in my profile. And this is just the start of the issues. Please fix the app ASAP or I will be seeking a refund

Please tell us what you are changing with these updates. It feels very deceptive and we think a feature has been removed, only to discover it elsewhere. Or some have been suddenly removed - for what purpose? I doesn’t appear to be for people to connect with each other.
Please improve the quality of profile images, blurry, sideways, faces out of the picture, rude pictures etc etc.
Turn off the ‘blue eyes wants to meet you’ notifications- they are creepy and feels like porn.
The search feature is crazy, no matter what parameters are entered, it just makes up its own!!!! This needs to be fixed!!!!
Profile appearing in the feed don’t even meet our search criteria and just wastes our time. Seriously guys, this app needs serious work!
Cut out / block the scammers - we can pick them just from their profile - why can’t you?
Why do we have to pay to see a list of who ‘liked us’ when it’s free to send them a message when we see their profile ?
The whole site and business model needs a clean up ..... where’s the integrity, quality and genuineness?

I seem to be having trouble with the app it keeps telling me I’m not logged in it can be frustrating plus I seem to get mutual matches then I’m not allowed to send them a message the site tells me they only accept certain types of people ( I wonder why they matched with me in the first place 🤔)it could well be that the site sends me fake matches hoping I will pay to become an upgraded member to meet said matches . I’m unsure however it does appear I’m somehow being scammed or at least an attempt to scam me is being made

Version 13.50
This app seems to have gone the way of Tinder and the rest in that it is filled with fakes and bots and the genuine matches can only be accessed by wasting money to upgrade. What’s more you can’t control your preferred age range, I was always being matched with highly unattractive women 10 years older than me. These were once good apps but have now been taken over by greed and robots. Don’t bother. Also if you want to delete the app for whatever reason, firstly you can’t do so within the first 24 hrs of creating it (terrific security right there) and also u can’t even delete it from the app they make u go to some website to do it.. garbage site, bumble is much better!

Version 13.20
I think this is the same concept as most other dating sites, but to me this method of dating doesn't seem very 'organic', or very safe. I started using dating apps as a teenager and continued into my early 30's but it is a huge risk to a woman's safety, and I seemed to be only given the option of men who were ironically either criminals, military men or police. Men also scoped me out just to say something about mental health, as if that was all they matched with me for, and that started when I was only 19 and flared up again for me at 33 years old. I never said anything out of the ordinary, or anything at all in some case before they started mentioning something about my sanity.

I have tried lots of dating apps the worst being tinder as they ban you for no reason and have no support base. There just taking people’s money they don’t care, but POF has great support when it comes to any issues you may or may not encounter. I myself have not had any issues with the site and have met some nice lady’s here. It’s run professionally and you can tell it is after familiarising yourself with the site and not giving up after a week lol. Sure you have the usual time wasters and woman who don’t reply but you will find there the same ones that never leave lol.
Be patient and you will meet someone genuine.

Version 12.10
As far as the app goes, it’s clunky and could do a lot better, although it functionally works (barely).
So far as the membership base goes, it is full of scammers and fake profiles. While you’re a standard user you are very popular to lure you into signing up. Once you’ve paid the money you realise all the profiles are fake or scammer cam girls. After being signed up for a month or so the scammers give up on you and you’re left with a massive database of non responsive profiles.
I cannot actually remember having even a single conversation with a real human on here.
This app is a total waste of time and money. The POF people as a company should be totally ashamed that they are selling such a blatant scam ripoff service.
Apple should should be ashamed to let such a terrible app on their App Store.

Version 11.90
Go ahead and fork out money to subscribe if you like the idea of being inundated by fake accounts and bots wanting to “meet you” or send you messages trying to get you to go to a malware or phishing link to “enable video calling” in POF. I spent all my time just deleting email notifications from scam accounts that disappear and checking meet me requests from obvious scam accounts written in broken English where every “woman” is completely subservient and just wants someone to cook and clean for.
Biggest waste of time and money. There is obviously no checking of any kind to ensure anyone signing up is a genuine human and in the location they claim they are, and security is so poor that it’s obviously a simple matter to hijack accounts and repurpose them.
Stay well clear.

Version 11.80
This app has so so many security risks, so many opportunities for women to be completely exposed. Way too much info is visible, Men can message you directly without you matching, send photos and gross messages without an easy way to block them. Simply deleting their message doesn’t work, they can message you again and boom they are back in your inbox. It’s extremely difficult to delete your profile and your email inbox is spammed with every like, message or notification. Trying to block someone or report for offensive messages is also difficult and hard to navigate with justification needed and an explanation. Girls, women, protect yourself and your information and I would have to say use bumble or tinder. This app is built by men, for men, with no thought given to the security or safety of women. They know exactly how far away you are, within 500m. They know everything about you and your profile can not be hidden. You information should be your choice to share. Avoid at all costs to your safety.

2019-11-18
Version 11.80
The app only lets you meet people that the designers think you should and it forces you to either lie, or enter personal details that you don’t want to share.
Search filters automatically reset to the app defaults, limiting who you can actually find on the app. Then there’s the stupid “prefer not to say” response, which in 99% of cases implies whatever response is perceived as negative. How about you give users control of what personal information is visible on their account? E.g. Body type. If a user selects “prefer not to say”, then why make the body type field and response visible? It doesn’t change anything, except removing the implication that the user is fat or ashamed of their body in some way.
Great app.

I’ve had a change Hart. It works well. I signed up paid 12 months subscription but some scammer hacked my account and used my profile for about 24 hours. I got in touch with POF team they resolved my issues they have a number to call. As there are so many members but the only catch is you have to guard your account. If any of the scammer member they ask you the get verified or send you a link to fill out your personal details. Immediately block that person and report it to POF. I still use POF and hope to meet my beautiful women here.

Version 10.70
I enjoy the app and it has some great parts, but as a first time user. It’s a little complicated, for starters a lot of stuff is blocked off by a premium mode. But every time I use the app I’m constantly being bugged about updating, which makes it hard to use. I can’t seem to find age settings, to change what ages people appear to be. And if they do it’s really hard to find, and it’s frustrating. You can see who views your profile which makes things really awkward, along with the age settings parts of the app are hard to use. And they use a tinder style slide for part of it which feels slapped on and u can’t even fully use, unless u upgrade.
In short the app is fine and I enjoy using it, but there’s annoying things I notice.

What a horrible app. There are no real girls on this app. After installing the app, filling up an annoying for and uploading some pics, you’re ready to go. After 10 minutes I was inundated with heaps of notifications about girls wanting to meet me as well as some messages sent by these girls. At first, I thought this would work, but after replying to some of these girls, they messaged me back with links about se x webcams, scor ts and spam I don’t care about. I spent around 40 mins trying to see if there were actually real girls on this app but nothing. I got like 30 messages from this bots, sending me links and bs. So I deleted this crappy app straight away. Do not waste your time, You’re better off using tind er
Too much porn advertising

Version 9.90
Over the last few months the app has unfortunately become a lightning rod for porn advertising. While I find the functionality of the app itself to be quite good it’s just unfortunately become routine to block the endless messages stating “hi there :-)” knowing they are bots.
While POF does a good job deleting those fake profiles it would be good if more work were done to prevent them to begin with. For instance bot tests for sending messages or even creating profiles are pretty commonplace.

I am on POF because I like texting, and it seems that men are the only people who still will.
I did want to find a forever love, but as a fat woman I seem to have Buckleys of that in this forum though, because dating websites have spoilt men (and women) for choice. I think it has made it so that no one gives people time to build a relationship anymore- it's all just an immediate yes or no.
It's a shame because it has made it so superficial.
Oh, and fellas- what's this thing with the automatic blocking? It's unnecessary and disrespectful. You can be assured that just the "no thanks" text gets the message across
Some areas to improve
–
Josiett –
2019-01-28
Version 9.70
Chatting is difficult - the app doesn’t refresh unless you move from one page to another so you don’t always see new chats unless you constantly refresh.
Lots of random questions in the profiles - who cares if someone has a car? The descriptions of personality types have no meaning.
People are constantly commenting that their details like age are incorrect and yet it cannot be updated.
Cannot block someone unless you chat with them first. If you see the profile of someone you know - and do not want to interact with, you shouldn’t have to talk to them in order to block them. This seem like a basic self-protection requirement.
Account deleted for no reason

Version 9.60
I have used POF on and off for years, most of the time I’ve been a paid premium member. This time I went on, it was great, I was more popular than I’d ever been and although I’d only been signed up for a few hours, had started talking to some great guys.
The next morning I went to go and log in and couldn’t. I thought I must have messed up my passwords when signing up so requested a reset and got nothing. I thought the system was down until my friend texts me asking why I deleted my account so quickly.
It appears that admin have both deleted my account and blocked me from ever signing up again. For no reason.
They have rules on when they will do this but NONE of these had I breached in my profile or messages. My only thought is that someone that I was not replying to reported my account for a bogus reason and admin just deleted and banned me without looking into it.
I’m actually devastated about this POF and if I knew how to find someone to talk to, I would take this matter further.

App is ok, but there’s too many fake profiles! I keep getting notifications saying so and so wants to meet me. I obviously can’t see the persons profile unless I pay for a yearly or monthly subscription. But looking at the names of persons that has “liked” my profile, it goes like this; kinky_jade04, tara_jade04, alma_jade04 etc.. it’s pretty obvious they’re fakes to lure people to upgrade their profile to a paid one? Disappointing..

With the way technology is these days there are new dating apps popping up frequently but only a small handful of them are actually worthwhile. I’ve used POF on and off for the last few years and have made some amazing connections and have had 2 serious relationships from this app (still in the second one). I always recommend this app to all my single friends. If I am ever unfortunate enough to be single again I would definitely download this in a heartbeat

I understand every app needs to make money to survive. And most apps/games method is somewhat not considerate but acceptable. However this app straight deceives you. Bots will send you request to meet up but in order to see who they are you must spend. To me that’s acceptable as long as it’s true. After payment open the list of all the request only to find out every person has closed their account. DECEIT. You get a lot of people wanting to meet up (fake) I think there’s a 10min refresh, all the requested meetup are deleted and app says don’t worry they’ll be plenty more later on. Fake fake. As for the Last fake I still don’t know if it was real person or bots. But story goes girl starts initial communication and only 5 in she wants to videocall. No hot girl willingly to videocall after 5 min delayed chat. She insist and kindly helps you setup video( additional cost on top of monthly fee) I didnt buy had feeling fake. I’m saying HOT! Personally I think they’re real people hired to lure people to activate videocall. This review is made from the perspective of a person who has only used this app for 1 day. But rarely am I wrong.

Hi. This is for the person(‘s), who put together the Safety guidelines.
If you read through the points that you should be aware of to stay safe.
Most points are very good but a few are not explained well and could put people off other genuine people.
They are:
Warning against people who talk about losing a partner or recently widowed. What if this is true? How about explaining fully what you mean and including it could also be true.
Next
“Talks about Destiny or Fate” - I know a lot of people who talk about that. Each to their own but once again I think you’ve gone overboard with this. A much greater explanation is needed to be fair to those that use these words. Personally I don’t but a lot of “hippies” do use it, especially if grown up during 70’s.
Please feel free to contact me if you want to.
Overall your helpful postings are great.

I love this site/app for its ease of use, low cost & the interaction it lets us have with others who find themselves walking the beaches on their own. We all need spice & chemistry with our soul mate but building up the solid blocks of friendship on here gradually allows the foundations of a great friendship or even relationship form. Being able to see what a person is about, physically, their interests, socially & personally at a quick glance saves lots of time. Thank you Marcus! And well done! We all deserve to grow old walking the beach holding hands with our significant other! Xx 💙💙

So many people on here still after having a break for 12 months that were hear 12 months ago that are still online looking for that “someone” special. So many fakes, superficial photo gorkers and liars on here that it makes it obvious that online dating is for the glamorous, or the pathetic, or the game players that pray on honest people looking for that someone special, which, online are very fee and far between. Then on top of that the profiles pof approve that are fake adult sites. In total is a good idea but with very little way to stop that idiots from stuffing it up for legitimate singles wanting to find something more meaningful and long term

Got IP banned for literally no reason?
I don’t know what I did to get an IP ban I can’t create another account it just get automaticity deleted I had one photo up that was just a normal selfie didn’t breach any rules and a lot of good conversation with other users never harassed anyone on POF in ANY way and I had the account active with on and off use for 6 months with out a hiccup.
So what gives? My guess is it only might take a report or two against your account for an algorithm to kick in and perma ban you with out any fact checking by a staff member.
Starts good but poor functionality

LMT001 –
2018-02-17
Version 7.20
Although inundated with notifications at the start, these dwindle away and difficulty trying to conduct a conversation frustrated as the app doesn’t update messages, unless you go out of messages and then back in. This causes unnecessary delays and isn’t conducive to connecting with a potential mate. Additional notifications include every time someone ‘views’ you. A waste of time if there’s no communication as you can’t click on the person who viewed you without paying for an upgrade. Although better than Tinder as people need to complete some questions which gives an idea about the type if person and what they are looking for, when swiping you only see an age and the location they have nominated. Often a name can indicate if someone is serious or not. Alternatively being able to swipe through people who tick the boxes for you would be an improvement. POF also takes more time to scan through the answers most relevant to you, contrasting colours would make it easier to quickly scan info to find out if someone wants children, for example, before swiping left it right.
The idea behind POF is good and makes more sense for someone looking for a relationship, compared to Tinder. That they have to enter some basic info about what they are looking for and about themselves puts it a long way ahead. However, the app requires much more development to improve the user experience.

I’ve been using this app on and off for the last few years. Can’t say that I’ve had a horrible experience here, but I neither can I say I’ve been super successful. Few issues I have are: way WAY to many fake accounts. It’s beyond palpable that this happens. Makes it difficult for you to enjoy it. Money, money money... yes this is a business and like all businesses in the dating industry they thrive on “pay for love” and if your a Male, get ready for a paywall everywhere you navigate. Want to upload or change your pictures? Gotta pay to have that privilege. Overall it’s a well balanced app, great UI, all be it slightly laggy from time to time. The only let downs are fakes, paywalls & many many people pretending to be something they’re not. Use caution when dating online. Good luck!

Pof has always been my go to.
I’ve sent them feedback through their site to express my disappointment at there being only one option to choose when selecting the gender you are seeking.
As a bi woman, it’s frustrating to have to limit my options. I just got some generic response but it doesn’t appear to have been taken on board. How hard can it be to change? I’m sure I’m not the only one to say something.

Free App works, is stable, allows plenty of browsing and searching in the free version, shows what capabilities can be used if upgrading to paid version, paid version upgrade is a single transaction (ie not buying tokens or messages).
Seems reasonably self-governing regarding spamming, prostitution - even has guidelines on clear profile photos (you can report crappy photos or dickpics)
Can search on a number of parameters: distance, personal attributes, recent activity. Can customise notifications and email alerts. Can 'favourite' other people without matching or liking. Can message others directly without previously Liking (so can get busy/noisy)

If you're male, don't bother. You'll get 4 or 5 fake profiles a day, wanting to 'meet' you. What they really want is your email. If you have a brain, you'll work this out pretty quickly. The whole 'free' thing is rubbish. Paywalls everywhere. Most(real) women, who are very far from perfect, will encourage you to contact them but won't respond if you aren't Mr. perfect yourself. If you want to free online date, stick with Tinder, this is a demoralising, depressing waste of time(& money, if you are a bit naive & believe their constant, pushy claims that throwing down some cash will give you a better chance, I didn't but I guarantee it won't). Don't waste your time.

2017-10-11
Version 6.50
This is a good app with an easy to navigate user interface, clean and clear design with an uncluttered view. The design allows you to view each contact's profile and have the option to add them to your favourite straight away or click the "flirt button" to get a member's attention.
The advantage with this app is that the free version allows you to effectively communicate with your contacts and the paid version just adds extra features that don't leave you feeling like you are missing out on anything if you are on the free membership.
The only thing that would make this app go from a four star to a five star is if the app can update its real time notifications on the app itself. Whenever a contact sends a new message you cannot tell which contact sent it unless you click on another tab then back onto the contact tab again then only it refreshes itself. I would recommend this app for first time members who are new to online dating. It provides a safe environment.
