Description
HINGE, DESIGNED TO BE DELETED
Hinge is the dating app for people who want to get off dating apps. And it’s working. Currently, 3 out of 4 times Hinge members want to go on a second date, we’re the #1 mobile-first dating app mentioned in the New York Times wedding section, and we’re the fastest growing dating app in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
HOW WE GET YOU OFF HINGE
In today’s digital world, singles are so busy matching that they’re not actually connecting, in person, where it counts. Hinge is on a mission to change that. So we built an app that’s designed to be deleted.
* We quickly learn your type. You’ll only be introduced to the best people for you.
* We give you a sense of someone’s personality. You’ll get to know potential dates through their unique answers to prompts, and personal information like religion, height, and politics.
* We make it easy to start a conversation. Every match begins by someone liking or commenting on a specific part of your profile.
* We ask how your dates are going. After exchanging phone numbers with a Match, we’ll follow up to hear how your date went so we can make better recommendations in the future.
The app is free to use. Members looking to see who likes them or to set advanced preferences can upgrade to a Preferred Membership.

People match but can’t reply, it’s a waste of time and when I paid for a premium I didn’t get any roses or anything. The algorithm was showing me people I’m not attracted to or who where from interstate. The app is designed to be deleted because dating is such a flop you can’t be bothered anymore

It was good when I use to see those tags on new users but now you can’t tell who is new on the app and who is not. am sure hinge is trying to make money out of that if that’s the case then it’s very bad and I won’t pay for that. Bumble still shows new users without any changes. It’s a shame

Filtering the feed
–
EddyEagleEye –
2023-06-24
Version 9.24.0
This app is better than tinder. That’s hardly a benchmark for success.
The biggest problem I’ve seen so far has to be how the feed is filtered. I know what the women in my area are like, they’re diverse. On hinge, I see 90% obese women. Not just chubby or overweight- I mean unhealthily obese women. I’m assuming hinge is showing me the profiles of women who receive the least attention on this app.
Problem is, I work in the fitness industry. I sacrifice so much time and energy to be fit and healthy. I want a partner who does too. It’s not just about standards or looks; it’s about having a partner who sees life the way I do.
If I pay for an upgrade, this issue is resolved almost entirely. So they know exactly what they’re doing.
Hinge may show you some healthy looking matches on your first day, but if you don’t pay, be prepared to see some land whales real quick.

6 photo minimum is good, lots of variety of prompts and they serve the purpose of helping get conversations going and I don’t mind the small number of likes you get a day as it prevents the app turning into a shopping catalogue (like tinder). One improvement I’d suggest is that every profile should be verified as I’ve had my fair share of scammers/fake ones pop up. Otherwise it’s the best one I’ve used so far!

Profiting off peoples need to find a partner. Honestly as a guy, this is the most self esteem killing thing to be on. Even with a decent profile don’t expect any matches. Oh and once it figures out who you like, they’ll all be in the standouts section, where surprise surprise you’ll have to pay. If your not one of the top 10% don’t bother with the app.

Version 9.23.0
Really good starting point for a queer friendly app, but the ability to only filter by three genders makes it really difficult for queer dating.
As a trans woman, I want to filter for guys that are bi, pan, queer, flexible, etc. since they’re more likely to give me a shot, but alas, this is not an option, even for premium.
Pathetic.

The algorithm will intentionally only show you people who are ugly or obese and shows the people who you may actually be interested in within the standout section that you have to pay for. I suggest cheating the system by sending likes to all of the ugly women on your first day so the app gets tricked in to showing you people you might ACTUALLY like after. Stop preying on people just trying to find a partner.

I enjoyed hinge when I used it briefly on and off for a little while. But after a long hiatus I went to log on to my account and it said I had been blocked due to terms violations. I had barely even looked at it in about 2 yrs. all I can think is I was hacked or spam or something. I emailed the support team as was suggested but never received any communication or feedback on the matter . Really quite Disappointing as it’s really in a separate league from other dating apps as the masses of “hookup culture” folks aren’t as predominant there.
Oh well.. back to bumble

Would be surprised if it’s a scam, have heard similarly from other users exactly the same thin happened to them. If it happens to 100 people it’s just under $8k for no valid reason.

This used to be a very good app. However lately they have gone down the same road the other apps have in hiding all your “likes” behind expensive pay walls. Speaking of price it is absolutely insane! $70 a month for next to no likes is ridiculous! Also the quality of ladies on here just reek of snobby high maintenance types who just want instagram followers. You have to swipe for days til you get to the normal average profiles. Bumble is much much better and cheaper. I no longer recommend Hinge, which is a shame.

But that’s not saying much really, is it? To those complaining about the algorithm, I like this one better. But even better, why don’t these apps just leave the profile order random, that way no one complains! Or base it on something like distance. Hinge does allow you to choose from ‘recently active’

BUYER BE WARE if you purchase a subscription you will get banned and they won't give you a refund, but give you a suicide hotline number. I contacted support stating that my account was blocked by mistake. They replied by giving me a suicide hotline number instead. Why would you do that Hinge? I purchased a 3month subscription and was banned after a few days with no explanation or reason. Before that I was using the app for a number of weeks without problems. I know 100% that I did not do or say anything to offend anyone on the app.

Version 9.22.0
The latest version asks for me to verify my email address every time I open the app. After saying it has sent a code, and checking that they haven’t done that, you didn’t have to request it. If you open the app more than once or twice a day, it eventually locks you out for 24 hours because it has a limited number of times that it can send you the code per day.

Been using this app for years now with great success. But all of a sudden a week after changing one of my answers to a prompt joking about “starting a pyramid scheme” they have permanently banned me and I’ve lost everything. A submitted a request to have it overturned and they denied it and now don’t respond to anything else I’ve sent. I feel like I’m some sort of criminal that was sent straight to jail without warnings or anything. I was always a massive advocate for hinge, but now with this it’s put a massive sour taste in my mouth. A simple joke can get you permanently banned and you lose everything. Especially after being a loyal subscriber customer. This is a terrible practice and needs to be sorted out. What complete shambles this company is.

This app is terrible I didn’t find anyone in my area and I kept getting the odd catfish plus I don’t get many matches. You say this app “is made to be deleted” your moto should be ‘made to be deleted in frustration’. Your app is a scam. As well as having to go onto dates and I had one person going all. I’m not gonna take you out on a second date because we want different things. After that. The guy said we wanted the same thing. This is the worst app made to be deleted yes made to be deleted, but in total frustration, the men on here in my area don’t know what they want

Really poor app. Hinge likes to believe it is showing you people that are your type but in reality you will sit there endlessly tapping X. The only people who are truely of a similar standard to myself are sitting in the “standouts” tab which would require you to pay for roses. I’m expecting that Hinge would also work a lot differently if I were to pay the ridiculous $40/month which shouldn’t be necessary.

Removing “swipe” culture and encouraging people to actually read profiles and consider thinking before liking someone is a game changer. People put more thought into their profiles as a result. Not to mention not forcing premium features down your throat like other apps out there and letting people enjoy the app and make a decision on their own. Higher quality profiles and people legitimately wanting to find a connection instead of playing swipe games. It’s no wonder Hinge is the king/queen of dating apps in the current landscape!

Narcissistic women with self entitlement & attitudes that are repulsive. Wasting your time taking ages to reply using it as an ego boost. Many women on there are just after free dinners which is disgraceful, they should be banned. “Dating me will look like” picture of her at a dinner table… guess who they expect to pay? That’s right the man. How do they think they deserve for a man to pay for them without even knowing him? Why should a man pay for these women who have a roster of other men? This dating BS is a complete joke & waste of your time & money as it attracts some of the worst kind of women that exist, I have no sympathy for them as the top % of men out there don’t want anything to do with them when it comes to commitment! They reap what they sow!

Version 9.19.0
This week my profile was permanently removed for absolutely no reason. When I questioned why, I was asked to submit my passport details to another unknown organisation (which I later researched and discovered was a “start-up”). Needless to say I did not provide my passport details and kindly wished Hinge well. I felt terrible for the matches that Hinge forced me to “ghost”. Also, the only person I actually engaged with via this app turned out to be a complete liar - pretty much everything on his profile was false e.g. said he didn’t smoke or use drugs - he was into both. He was also dating multiple women on multiple dating sites while continuing a relationship with his “ex”. Highly manipulative. But hey, I’m sure Hinge hasn’t removed his profile and is probably boosting his profile. Honestly, don’t use this app, it’s full of dishonest predators and the app itself is unethical. Worst experience ever.

Version 9.18.0
Paid for a 6 months subscription up front. They should at least do a day-trial for premium.
But within a day, I had apparently exhausted all the guys in my area within a 160km radius. Ultimately, my initial thought of paying to filter the heck out of my searches just resulted in me saying “open to all” for all categories to expand the search.
So this is week three of a six month subscription and there’s no longer any daily recommended “matches” or “recommended stand-out profiles”
There’s a large number of profiles on here that are a joke. And some you don’t know if are just inactive profiles from a long time ago.
The only slight benefits of paying is that your sent “likes” apparently stay on top of someone else’s list to be “seen” first. And it’s fun to just browse anywhere in the world if someone is open to just a long distance friendship or penpal.
A feature should be employed where users are encouraged or prompted to have chats with their matches rather than endlessly match and stay silent. Perhaps inactivity should = account closed.
Quite frankly seems a like a waste of time, money and effort at the moment.
All in all, I currently regret having paid up front for 6 months under the misled guise it was better value.

2023-03-03
Version 9.16.0
Joined 2 days ago. Banned today. Fortunately I hadn’t paid the subscription. I do suspect someone reported me because I came across a profile today of a guy I had interacted with on Bumble. We had talked via WhatsApp for a few days then he started talking about crypto. Once I made it clear I wasn’t interested in investing, he ghosted me. Wouldn’t be surprised if Hinge allows the fake profiles to remain on their app while the genuine users are left to deal with the mental & emotional stresses of trying to figure out what they did wrong. I just want to find real connections with people but I have to keep on my toes to not be taken advantage of.

This is such a great app. I’ve found many friends but yet to find my LTR. I actually read the book “how not to die alone” and it really helped my approach to this app. Recommend for those still working things out.
One user enhancement would be to move the X button as in my haste have accidentally clicked it when trying to listen to someone’s audio and missed out on a potential match. Especially for us left handers.
One of my dates who I met here and become friends with has now purchased an apartment in my building and they wouldn’t have seen this building unless we connected. Great outcome especially because this app has given me the space and time I need to really take a conscious approach to my dating life. Thanks team for the hard work!
Hinge versus Bumble (blackmail)
–
Silverscottfox –
2023-02-26
Version 9.16.0
I have been on hinge for the same amount of time as bumble score 30 matches to bumble 1.
Hinge actually helps people meet by allowing a short message to be sent with like compared to bumble where it doesn’t matter if you send likes pay extra for conversation bubbles or super swipes, if the recipient is not paid up they won’t see your profile it’s blurred until you pay up . And even if you get a match the woman has 24 hours to send a message otherwise you are unmatched . So hinge is less greedy and not trying to extort both parties just to see their profile if they like you . The 30 matches to 1 tells you all you need to know.
Profiles disappear or reload.

Version 9.14.0
Hinge has a glitch that needs to be fixed ASAP. Every time I’m using hinge and I’m on a profile, if I simple change screens for a second, let’s say to quickly text someone, then come back to the hinge screen, the page reloads and the profile I was currently on disappears. Some times that persons profile will never come back. I have a band new iPhone and have re-downloaded the app multiple times. This seems to be a technical coding issue. This has made the user experience very poor as you have to immediately like someone’s page or risk losing their profile forever. I have lost many a potential match because of this fault. Please do something about this ASAP!

Good app and concept. But as a guy in mid 30’s, I was at a loss to find someone actually serious about a LTR. They’re all 30-40 yro cat/dog ladies addicted to travelling and drinking wine. They all say they want LTR or life partner but they depict themselves as though they can’t sit still and live a settled life. Too many unflattering pictures drinking copious amounts of grog, partying and wearing silly costumes. It’s like they still haven’t grown up yet. That or they’re looking for a travel buddy to help fund their next trip under the guise of being in a relationship. A shame…
Enjoy your cats and wine ladies 🐱🍷

No dating app is perfect, but my boyfriend and I had to put our hands up and say, nearly one year later, we have truly found love. We are compatible in every way and cant believe we found each other. There will always be bad dates out there, but if we are anything to go by, you too can find your person. Thanks Hinge ❤️ We are also conventionally attractive and of ambiguous ethnicity (but White Passing 😉), feel free to put us in an ad lol.
It’s my favourite

5 star cos it’s my fav. One thing I would change is this: Allow people to engage without instantly becoming a ‘match’. Slightly changing the language would allow more freedom to get to know someone. I don’t want to ‘match’ with
Someone who maybe just asked a question.. but I can’t answer without matching.
Other than that, it’s the best app. Most quality selection. Great prompts. Active users. I love it.

Decent app, I’m polyamorous, I’ve met all my partners on this app with the exception of one. It’s a great app. They take a lot of accountability on the app as well, they shut down scammers, and onlyfans accounts that are common to find on these sorts of apps.
I would give it 5 stars but they need some way of saying you’ve been vaccinated, also would be nice if I could see multiple profiles not just the one in front of me once at a time.

Version 9.9.0
Would have been 5 stars but I reached the part where the scam is revealed. Ever seen those profiles on other dating apps where they say they’re there because hinge banned them for no reason? At first I thought it was either a joke or they actually did get banned for a legit reason but as I have discovered, no the app actually does this intentionally after a while. Had been using the app for close to a year, I did not violate anything whatsoever and was always super respectful and met some great people but out of the blue after it had been a bit glitchy for a week I get banned with no explanation whatsoever which is just super poor customer service and shows where their priorities are. Honestly just pathetic that they don’t even give their false reason for banning you so you can’t dispute it properly and they can just ignore your request for appeal and you lose everything. Absolutely feels horrible

Deeply disgusted by this app. I downloaded it and set up my profile then deleted it shortly due to some personal reasons. Then I reinstalled it a couple of days later. Hinge sent a warning to my matches saying I was removed due to potential "fraudulent" behaviour. This is absolutely ridiculous and defamatory! 🤬I raised a ticket with Hinge's Support and explained what happened and asked them to rectify their defamation. But they were too coward to give me a response. So that's Hinge.😕 They silently ban you as they please and don't even have the gut to tell you and they defame you and spread the defamatory remarks to your matches to discredit you. It hurts a girl's reputation immensely. It's a disgusting racist and sexist app. 👎👎👎👎👎👎

Version 9.9.0
Based on the users you send likes to, hinge will figure out exactly the type of person you are looking for. They will then ONLY show you those people under the ‘standouts’ section which requires payment to send any likes. The free ‘discover’ section will be left with nothing but the exact opposite of the type of person you are interested in. I have tested by dropping my location to areas well known for their high density of health conscious, fit and attractive individuals - set the radius to minimum - filtered by one ethnicity at a time, and all I get in my discover feed after endlessly hitting X is nothing but the complete opposite of what I look for in a partner. I’m sure they have wonderful personalities, but looks are important too - no matter what anyone tells you. The way this app is geared to take money for people in search of love and companionship is disgusting. It feels illegal. I never thought I’d say, but you’ll have a better chance using T*nder. And that app is its own cess pit of moral despair.

I have tested a theory I read online that hinge has double standards for male and female accounts and can verify now, it is true. Hinge allows female accounts different permissions to male accounts, please consider if you want to download an application with serious abusive admins & internal terms and conditions are disgusting to treat male and female accounts differently.
To hinge: your abusive treatment of users on your platform and completely unacceptable life banning policy when I am impeccably polite and kind to every living being is disgusting, rude and WRONG. Nobody reads terms & conditions and banning users with no appeal process for simple mistakes or misunderstandings is *disgusting*.
Your head company not be in business with this kind of practice.

Version 9.8.1
Hinge used to be good. But now they hold back sooo many matches in order to get you to spend money. I finally cracked and paid for the app, and guess what? Suddenly I was running out of people to swipe on every day. I know there isn’t only 20 people around me, I had 8000 matches on Tinder. Even when paying you still don’t get the full experience, so what’s the point.
Everyone is burnt out and broken because of money grubbing apps like this. They don’t actually want you meeting anybody, just cycling endlessly through their app until the end of the time. Shame on you guys, hope you’re enjoying your dirty money!

This app is racist & sexist The slogan should be “designed to be banned” Every person I know using this app male or female has been banned! Including myself No explanation why, no way of appealing it, just boom gone… Look I’m a cutie. I was getting matches left right & centre but people on here have the personality of wet bread. That’s not the issue though. The issue is the apps poorly structured security system. My account got banned, with no explication why & no way of appealing it.. I had a great connection with a person on hinge & now I’ll never get the chance to meet them. Now I’m not saying I’m an angel.. I can be cheeky at times but ive done nothing to be banned.. & I’m also black so I’m getting some racist vibes from this app

I really enjoyed this app for the short time I had it until I got banned with no warning for absolutely no reason, I read the terms of service several times and could not find a single thing I had done wrong, and you only get one chance to appeal which never actually changes the outcome then you are banned for life. It has happened to me and when I spoke about it on my instagram dozens of people came forward saying hinge had also banned them for no reason.

Version 9.5.0
I’m not usually someone who writes reviews but maybe this poor review will spark your team who after multiple people in your team have now stopped responding to me whilst dealing with the appeal process.
I have tried to explain my side of the story and why the phone number should now be accessible to make a profile but you guys just don’t seem to be listening or going through my appeal after months and months of chasing. This lack of communication is not the customer service your team should be promoting when you are trying to sell your application to a potential new customer.
As my phone number has been unfairly blocked from the platform and your company is not responding to its appropriate appeal process, I want an appropriate answer as soon as possible as to why you don’t think I can use this application.
I wish to have the phone number accessible to make a profile as soon as possible as I’m now being withheld without reason. I have taken your appropriate process and without months of response I feel as if I have the right to make a formal complaint and an explanation as to why I can not have use of the app. Just because the phone number is blocked from a previous number holder? That is totally unfair towards me as a customer especially after I have contacted multiple times to take the correct steps to unblock?

Version 8.33.0
I find it hard to believe that 99% of the women using this app are grossly obese, but after day one of activating a membership all it shows me now is extremely unattractive obese women. Yes everyone is looking for love and good luck to them but seriously how do they work the algorithm in this app - heavily promote all the profiles nobody swipes on? I don’t find a dating app particularly useful if all I do is click the big X in the bottom over and over again in a fruitless attempt to find a single profile I’m remotely attracted to. I see I’m not the only reviewer to complain - there’s something off about the way the app operates. The attractive ones are in the standouts section which - surprise surprise - you have to spend MORE money on top of the already pricey membership and send “roses” instead of simply liking someone. Couple that with notifications that don’t come or arrive hours after you’ve received a message, can’t say that I’m going to continue this membership once it expires.

One day out of the blue my account was suddenly banned. Funnily enough, I hadn’t even been using hinge for a little bit because I was really busy irl. Haven’t changed my profile since I set it up over a year ago, either. So why was I banned? Oh, wait… They don’t even tell you. And you have one so-called “appeal” which is clearly just a lie so they can pretend they have an appeals process. For one – how could somebody possibly submit a worthwhile appeal when they don’t even know what they were banned for? And, secondly, they don’t actually respond anyway.
Bad company with a fake appeals process and nonexistent customer service. 1 star is 1 star too many.

Overall a great experience. The app let’s you learn a bit more about people with these small “conversation starter” text boxes on their profiles without overloading you with text. You can even upload videos! I have chosen this app because the crowd on it is less hook-up-y than Tinder and I was looking for something serious. I had around 30-40 first dates on the app which were all decent and then deleted it after getting serious with one guy. We are now engaged! Would definitely recommend.
Absolutely pathetic experience.

I barely used hinge but started a few months back to meet new people.
I try to log in a few days ago and my account has been cancelled. I’ve gone back to read the terms and conditions and in no way have I done anything wrong at all, no abuse, no false pictures, no selling anything. Nothing at all that warrants a cancellation.
I email (you get one shot for redemption. If they say no, you can never join again)
They said no. They wouldn’t give me a reason why, they didn’t say which rules I broke (none)
Once banned you can never re join with the same number email address or anything.
Absolutely pathetic customer service and absolutely pathetic experience when I’ve done absolutely
Nothing wrong.
They will go on to say “you must have”
But.. I did not. I was speaking to literally one person and the conversation was very basic.. where are you from, what do you do etc... banned for life without question.

I went on dozens of dates with tinder & bumble but didn’t find the right chemistry with any matches. Then I downloaded Hinge & the very first date I went on we have been madly in love ever since that first date a few months ago. We felt so strongly about our chemistry & connection that we both deleted the apps right after our first date. I know your slogan says “Designed to be deleted” but wow! We both couldn’t believe how incredibly perfectly we were matched & our love only continues to grow.

Dear Hinge support team. Please look at the reddit people’s posts, I’m not alone. Something’s wrong whith your algorithm. It shows me 90% of time people with obesity , disabled people and the ones who you’ll never meet on the street. I’m in Sydney , I’ve checked my mate’s phone and founded that he doesn’t have that problem. I’ve tried to play around with all options in my profile but it hasn’t fixed the problem. Check the reddit - there’s a lot of people who ask about that and they still haven’t heard anything from your team . I didn’t want to give you one star but for now this app is just useless to a huge bunch of people. Fix it plz. Cheers
Standouts feature frustrating

Little Girl Red –
2021-06-11
Version 8.11.1
I previously found hinge to be the best dating app, however the new standouts feature - where your best matches are gated away and you have to pay $$ to send each one a ‘rose’ - depletes the quality of the main feed where you can send free likes to such an extent that I have cancelled my membership and returned to bumble et al. It is depressing to see quality potential matches on this tab and not be able to contact them. I suggest Hinge remove this feature from the app before their user base seriously depletes. I would return to my subscription if I could contact the standouts as part of my membership.

Version 8.10.0
At least apps like tinder don’t go around pretending they’re more than they are - unlike hinge. It claims to be the app “designed to be deleted” except they are purposely with holding matches that are “standouts” these highly ‘desirable’ we’ll call them people are only available to match with if you have a rose and you only get one rose every so often, the rest you have to pay for. What’s worse is these “standouts” are removed from your general feed, purposely forcing you to spend money. So tell me, why would I stay on this app when at least all I have to endure with tinder is ads?

Version 8.6.0
The customer service is great. I am being sarcastic. I was banned and I have no idea why. The message when you attempt to log in says you can appeal the reason you were banned and they tell you to state your case. Interesting. Shall I log onto ebay and buy a time machine so I can go back in time and read my profile and also every interaction with anyone i texted? Sounds good but sadly the time machine isn’t an option so how on earth do I know why i was banned in order to “state my case?” Perhaps it was my sarcasm. Moving on, I have contacted them for plus two months and sent six plus emails and I still have no response. Under normal circumstances this type of behaviour would be considered stalking because it’s sad to send that many messages over that time period but I want to know why I was banned because i’m curious like that.
My opinion? The customer service is a joke. There is no “service” It’s Completely illogical and arrogant.
Hinge, you are welcome.
New “Standout” feature extremely frustrating
–
Hrohrlach –
2021-03-11
Version 8.5.0
This is a terribly frustrating feature. Each day you get a refreshed list of ‘standout’ profiles show to you, who the algorithms have selected as good matches for you, but you can only send a ‘rose’ (instead of a like) to one person from this daily updating list, per week, unless you buy more. There is no other way to like or engage with these profiles who have been selected as good matches for you, and the FAQs say that it’s uncommon and not guaranteed these profiles will appear in your feed. This is counterintuitive to the apps “intention” of being “designed to be deleted” Feels much more like it’s “designed to make you feel depressed about the irrelevant profiles shown to you for free while intentionally generating FOMO so that you spend $ at the chance of engaging with potential good matches”
Hinge’s new, manipulative way forward...
–
Dazzington Sharp –
2021-02-04
Version 8.3.0
Hinge has graduated; with their new feature Standouts, Hinge's calculated greed is now in full view. Let me explain...
Once upon a time, Hinge had a pool of possible matches you could Discover. Become a Preferred member and you could sort through those users more quickly with improved preferences (religion, education etc).
But Standouts represents a different approach. Based on your likes and preferences, Hinge section off the people "most your type" and puts them in an entirely different category. Unlike the Discover category, you can't 'like' people in the Standouts category, you can only send them virtual Roses - at roughly $6 each.
So, let's refresh;
1) They learn who and what you like.
2) They use those learnings against you to lock off the most appealing profiles.
3) They charge you for every interaction with these special profiles.
4) Profit!
It's a greedy, calculated move. Hinge's cute "designed to be deleted" facade has fallen away, revealing their new-found enthusiasm for manipulative, dark patterns.
They finally broke it

Version 8.1.0
This is the first app review I’ve ever written, but I feel compelled to by the appallingly bad quality of this app.
I used it for the first time a few months ago, and found it to be a great alternative to bumble and tinder, and a good way to get back out there after lockdown. I recently downloaded it again, and unfortunately discovered that the developers have decided to brick the app by introducing the new “standouts” feature.
This feature basically keeps anyone you might actually find attractive behind a paywall and shows you nothing but obese women with significant mental health issue if you refuse to pay.
Using this app makes me concerned for the future of humans as a species, and unless they revert the changes to the algorithm, I would suggest that your time is better spent watching paint dry than using this pathetic excuse for a “matchmaking” app.
Terrible algorithm

jadon !@#$% –
2021-01-07
Version 8.1.0
In the first few hours you’ll get some nice looking people, some average and some not so great. A nice mix. But after 24 hours the algorithm will decide if you’re ‘hot’ it it or ‘not’. And if you’re ‘not’, you will be shown almost exclusively terrible profiles. I have to swipe left on 99% of people on hinge. It’s obvious this happens because sometimes you’ll be shown a ridiculously attractive person and it’ll say “just joined”. Meaning the algorithm doesn’t yet know that person is too attractive to be shown to you; a person deemed unattractive by the algorithm.
It’s worth noting that I’m a decent looking guy from Sydney who’s got his life and his profile together. Yet the algorithm just decides I’m not worth being shown anyone or being shown to anyone of substance.

I was on hinge for maybe a year. Never had any issues with anyone, and tend to stay friends with women I date. One day I was surprised to find I’d been banned. A few weeks ago I went on the app, and it said there was now an appeals process. So I write to a hinge to say I’d been banned, didn’t know why, perhaps it was because I didn’t speak to everyone I matched with? If they could at least explain why I was banned I’d appreciate it, as I think it was an error.
No response. This app is dubious. It seems they want to make people comfortable and safe, which is good, but they did so by cutting corners on the banning process. People can get banned for no reason, which is not great!

Have had the app fail to send a message or send a message 2-3 times, or have someone else do the same thing to me. At the core of this app is messaging and it fails at this basic use case as you cannot see if a message is delivered or even if you can trust that is message has been sent, also the duplicate of last message when it surfaces a helpful popup which causes people to inadvertently spam you with the same message or you to someone else.

I’m a genuinely in shape, decent looking bloke who downloaded this app in good faith from recommendations from my lady friends.
Unfortunately I have to swipe NO on 98% of the females on this app. I’m definitely not vain in any sense, but after two weeks I’m having the fattest, ugliest, most desperate girls filling my swipe feed.
Genuinely, it makes me feel like a terrible human seeing the state of these people. I feel like I’m swiping on livestock after a good swipe sesh. It’s debilitating to the point where it’s actually depressing swiping through so many people who aren’t a good fit as a match.
Hinge needs to place some sort of algorithm in (similar to tinder) that matches you with people based on popularity.
It’s a good concept, but how can you advertise a dating app (most of which focus on material factors) but have such a horrendous user experience for people who aren’t so hard on the eyes.
As a single guy I’d recommend tinder, bumble and even plenty of fish as a better dating app before this mess

Hinge isnt good –
2020-07-30
Version 7.22.0
Don’t use hinge, you can easily report anyone and get them banned for any reason as there is no formal process in hinge, it’s completely broken.
I used hinge for barely a few days, a girl was interested in me and I informed her I was not looking for a relationship, every exchange we had was related to our love and compassion for animals whereby there was nothing possibly in violation.
After informing her I was not looking for a relationship she blocked me on everything, then false reported me. Hinge has no fair process to filter out reports, they take anything at face value, thereby making false accusations ok when in fact they belittle the real victims in real situations.

Version 7.21.0
I was recommended this app and used it and met some great people here on Hinge where it does what many of the other apps try to but fail however there is an unfortunate side affect to that, when you sign up you agree that hinge can ban you without warning or explanation and no appeal process at all regardless of the situation so this means you can literally never break the terms and conditions or expected behaviour but if your reported or hi he suspects information is inaccurate then you can and probably will be banned for life with no explanation given and no chance of appeal. Strongly consider this when joining and remember even if you follow the rules it can still happen to you.

Hi,
I am enjoying the Hinge app, thank you guys for all your hard work.
One thing I would like to mention is regarding the coronavirus restrictions in Queensland Australia (and I believe the rest of Australia as well).
Restrictions have eased for a while now, and we are able to meet each other and join groups of up to 20 people, and this rule is also easing again on 1 July. So just in regards to your ‘date from home’ ruling in-app, this is not actually the case in Queensland or Australia any more, and it would be appreciated if you lifted this restriction off your app, so there is no problem in meeting matches off the app. Thanking you kindly for your help:) Thank you 🙏

I don’t appreciate logging onto the Hinge app and being stopped in my tracks to be told I need to take a moment to think about the BLM movement.
People are being killed and animals tortured during these riots, and you are inadvertently supporting the cause. In the name of what? Justice?
Do not try and tell me what to think or urge me to visit the BLM website.
You are segregating race and even GENDER within that message, you’re supporting the defunding of police that for the most part protect the people.
You do not get to hinder mine, OR ANYONES free speech. I couldn’t even find a way to contact you directly, but you’re able to tell me how I must behave and what I must think?
I strongly urge anyone considering getting this app, to not waste their time. It has a terrible layout and you can barely do anything without paying a subscription.
Hinge should be ashamed that they would use a mans death to virtue signal and gain more account holders.
I don’t like cancel culture, but I hope you go broke. 🤙🏼

At first it seems better than tinder because you see a lot of high quality profiles with thoughtful/witty comments. But, three weeks in, all I’m seeing is the same old low resolution sunglasses pics and mirror selfies in messy bedrooms. I’ve put a lot of effort into my profile, the pictures and the comments, and I’m getting less connections than I would on tinder or bumble. I receive about 5-10 likes per day, but there are many days when I don’t find anyone I want to like. Three weeks in and I’m getting close to deleting it - hours and hours of effort and it just doesn’t seem to be working. I’m disappointed, I had high hopes for this app.

Hey Hinge Team,
the app had potential when it first came out but now you’re restricting likes, which I thought would be fixed by paying for “preferred membership”. I thought fair enough your team needs to make an income. However now, because of that restriction being put in place, that means less people are able to see my profile and approach me, (even though I paid to be seen more often). May I also suggest we alter the algorithm of seeing the same people again and again (sometimes 3 times in a week). I haven’t changed my mind and now I’m wasting a paid membership on seeing the SAME guys I wasn’t interested in the first place, again.
Hopefully the app can regain its original spark, here to have my faith restored guys👍

Version 7.10.0
It's a good design, and reasonably well executed. However, it seems to remove someone from the pool/stack without notice and with no recourse to return. I became busy with work for two weeks, and learned upon my return to the app that it thought I'd seen everyone that met my specifications--a status that has not changed despite my attempts to reset, broaden them, etc. Even if this were true at one point, it's hard to believe that no women aged 18-65 joined the app within a 100km radius of Sydney (Australia) in the past 3 months. Prior bug fixes have not resolved this. There is no clear way to seek assistance regarding the matter. Result: the slogan "designed to be deleted" is taking on a different, and less favorable, meaning.

Version 7.6.1
This app is mostly a waste of time and money (if you upgrade). Firstly, there’s a disproportionate amount of very attractive female profiles and then when you match with them they’ll send one message and that’s all. They’re either bots or Hinge employees that are paid to create false hope for the user so that they stay subscribed to the app. I’ve met a few real people on it but most of the profiles are fake. I even found a profile of a friend of mine who I know doesn’t even use Hinge so that’s one 100% certified fake! Don’t waste your time on this app.

Version 7.5.0
Great potential and a refreshing experience of an app. But there are some bugs that need to be ironed out to help grow the user base.
My issue is that messages in chats will randomly disappear so it doesn’t really make sense. But they’ll come up in my notifications all fine so I have to go into the notification centre to see what they actually said.
Overall, having the conversation starters part of your profile adds a lot more depth to the person. Ultimately, online dating is online dating and Hinge doesn’t solve all the issues with online dating, but I have made stronger connections through Hinge and was lucky to meet my boyfriend through it.
