Hinge
reviews and complaints

As someone who has explored the world of online dating, I can understand the mixed feelings that come with using platforms like Hinge. While some users have found success in connecting with potential matches and even building meaningful relationships, others have faced challenges and frustrations. It's disheartening to hear about instances where accounts were banned without clear explanations, leading to feelings of confusion and disappointment. The presence of fake profiles and issues with customer support further add to the complexities of navigating the app. Despite these drawbacks, there are also stories of positive experiences where individuals have met compatible partners and enjoyed engaging conversations. It's essential to approach platforms like Hinge with a sense of caution and awareness, recognizing both the potential for connection and the pitfalls that may arise along the way.

Ok I did not get scammed, but Ugly! My God, They don't need a dating site they need a health club. They are just gross.

I am Joseph/ Justin no1 stole any money from anybody. Benna Basi AKA Tamia personally gave me this money. I have never asked for any money This lady continue to offer to help me financially investment. I have offered to pay the investment back now. However she has told
Me to keep it. Contact me if you want the full story

If you're looking for a dating app that will keep you busy for hours on end, Hinge is the one for you. It's like a never-ending stream of profiles, with no end in sight. And don't even get me started on the battery drain - it's like this app is a vampire, sucking the life out of your phone.

But the real kicker is the preferences. You set them, thinking you'll finally get some matches that actually fit what you're looking for. But nope, Hinge has other plans. It'll throw profiles at you that are completely outside of your preferences, making you wonder why you even bothered setting them in the first place.

I tried setting a super tight radius and age range, but it didn't make a difference. I still had to sift through hundreds of profiles a day, most of which I had already rejected the day before. It's like Hinge doesn't even care about what you want - it just wants to keep you swiping.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if you subscribe to Hinge, you'll have more control over your preferences and the number of profiles you see. But honestly, who has the time or money for that? It's almost like Hinge is intentionally trying to make you so frustrated that you'll pay to make it stop.

Overall, I'd say Hinge is a decent app if you're looking for a lot of options. But if you're looking for something more specific, you might want to look elsewhere. And be prepared to spend a lot of time and energy swiping through profiles - Hinge doesn't make it easy for you.

Yo, listen up! I gotta tell you about my experience with Hinge. Let me tell you, it was not a good one. I signed up, all excited to find me a date, and what happens? I get banned after less than 2 days! Can you believe it? And get this, they won't even tell me why! I didn't do anything wrong, I swear. My pics were legit, my age was on point, and I didn't say anything weird to anyone. All I said was "Hi, how are you?" and that's it.

So, I appealed the ban, right? And what do they tell me? They can't even tell me what category I violated! What kind of BS is that? I read their terms and conditions like a hawk, and I didn't break any rules. But they still banned me and kept my money. That's right, they get to keep all $30 of my hard-earned cash for only 2 days of service. That's straight-up robbery, man.

I wish I had read the reviews before signing up for this sketchy service. They're not even BBB accredited, so you know they're not legit. Don't waste your time or money on Hinge, folks. Trust me, it's not worth it.

I gotta say, I've tried all the big dating apps out there, and they all seem to be owned by the same company, Match group. They claim to be revolutionizing online dating, but all they've really done is monetize it to death. That's why I was excited to try Hinge, which promised a different kind of experience.

Unfortunately, I have to say that my experience with Hinge has been pretty disappointing. The format is decent enough, but the app seems to be filled with abandoned accounts and fake profiles. And don't even get me started on the quality of the users. I mean, I'm not trying to be shallow or anything, but some of the people on there are just... not my type.

As a free user, I'm pretty limited in what I can do on the app. I can't really use the feature that lets me filter out certain types of people, which is a shame. And even when I do see profiles that I'm interested in, the algorithm seems to keep showing me the same ones over and over again.

The messaging system is also a bit wonky. Sometimes I'll get notifications for messages that I can't actually find in the app. And when I do manage to message someone, it often feels like I'm shouting into the void. I've had very few actual conversations on Hinge, let alone any dates.

All in all, I have to say that Hinge is not living up to its promise of being "designed to be deleted." If anything, it's making me want to delete the app and never look back. I'm not saying that there aren't any attractive or credible users on there, but they seem to be few and far between. And for every decent profile I come across, there are at least ten that make me want to run screaming in the other direction.

So yeah, I wouldn't really recommend Hinge to anyone looking for a serious relationship. Maybe it's better for hookups or something, but I'm not really into that scene. If you're looking for love, you're better off trying your luck elsewhere.

So, like a lot of people on here, I opened up Hinge and BAM! I was banned. I was like, what the heck? I read through their terms of service and it's like a novel. I mean, seriously, they cover everything under the sun. It's like they're trying to hide something.

I actually upgraded my account a couple times for a month and let me tell you, there are so many fake profiles on there. Like, these guys from Europe with modeling photos and the same old story. I asked them to verify their identity and maybe that's why I got kicked off. Or maybe they only want people who are spending money on the app. If that's the case, it's totally discriminatory.

I'm a mental health provider with over 27 years of experience and I'm well respected in my community. So, I don't know what their deal is. This app is shady and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Honestly, I felt that way even before I got banned so they did me a favor. I never even got a chance to delete my profile and I bet they're still using it.

Overall, I'd say stay away from Hinge. It's just not worth the hassle.

So, I'm a queer lady who's interested in everyone, and I signed up for Hinge. I was pretty excited to start swiping and matching with people who were interested in me too. But then, I got matched with someone who identified as a woman but listed themselves as interested in men. That's not cool, y'all. I don't want to waste my time looking at profiles of people who wouldn't even consider dating me.

I think this is a bug in Hinge's algorithm, so I tried to let them know. But when I talked to Nolan from Hinge, it was like talking to a brick wall. He didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and he kept repeating the same thing over and over again. It was frustrating, to say the least.

I eventually gave up and cancelled my membership. I told them I was going to leave a review, and here I am. I really hope they fix their algorithm, but I'm not holding my breath. If they can't even understand what I'm saying, how are they going to fix something as complicated as an algorithm?

Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with my experience on Hinge. I was excited to try it out, but it just didn't work for me. Maybe it'll work for you, but I wouldn't count on it.

Hinge is definitely not the app for me. I've had the worst experience ever. It's unbelievable how many obviously fake and dead profiles of men there are on this app. At first, I was excited to see super good looking, polished men firing at me with "Hellos" and incessant texting. But after about 2 weeks, all of that stopped! Only weird, ugly, unattractive, blurry, unsophisticated types of men started showing up on my feed. It's like they bait you with the good stuff and then switch it up on you.

The moment you suggest communicating off of the app, or if a guy asks what you're looking for (seriously?), and you tell him you're looking for a possibly wonderful relationship, he immediately deletes you from his list. It's hilarious! Hinge is definitely riding the wave of "Gambling" apps. They get you hooked, then make you feel compelled to buy a Boost as they control how often your profile is being seen. And of course, they're filtering in only horrible profiles of bad matches that have NOTHING to do with your preferences or entirely fake and dead profiles. It's pure BS!

I really think Hinge should go out of business. They need to put an end to this horrible treatment of humans. Don't do it! Get out there and live your life. Your King is out there, you just have to first get off of these disgusting money-grabbing, time-wasting, BS and heartless dating apps!

So, I decided to give Hinge a try last month and boy was I excited to find some handsome men in their 60s. I mean, who wouldn't be, right? I even had six matches at one point and they were all talking to me. But then, things started to get a little fishy.

I soon realized that some of these profiles were fake. These men never shared anything about themselves and their texts were only five words long. And when I suggested meeting up for a date, they always refused. Can you believe it? These scammers are so bold that they even used a picture of a Pentagon general on one of the profiles. But I knew it was fake because none of his pictures had him wearing normal clothes, only his uniform. How could Hinge miss this?

I reported all the fake profiles to Hinge, but these men keep popping up. It's frustrating, to say the least. And just yesterday, a man from the UK matched with me. I asked him to send me a two-way ticket to the UK to see if he was real, but he disappeared. Poof! Gone, just like that.

I even sent an email to Hinge asking if a paid subscription would help me avoid these scammers, but they didn't even bother to answer. I'm really disappointed that Hinge isn't screening the people who post fake profiles. I mean, come on. If someone looks like a model or a general, they're probably not going to be on Hinge.

And don't even get me started on the inconsistencies with where these men live. Their profile says they're in Chicago, but then they say they live in Ohio. And to top it off, their phone has a California area code. It's all so deceiving.

Overall, I'm just really disappointed with my experience on Hinge. I was hoping to find some genuine connections, but instead, I found a bunch of scammers. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I gotta say, my experience with Hinge (hinge.co) was not a good one. I feel like they're trying to push their own agenda and it's not fair to the users. I got banned for no reason, just because I was trying to be respectful and moral. This girl I was talking to wasn't giving me her full attention, she was texting and doing chores around the house. I was just trying to qualify myself, you know? But I guess Hinge didn't like that.

I think it's because I said on my profile that I'm not anti-Trump. Maybe the people who work at Hinge don't like that and they're trying to silence me. It's not right. These internet companies are supposed to be promoting connection, but they're really just promoting hate and their own agenda. It's not fair to the users.

I think Congress should investigate Hinge and make them answer for their actions. We're tired of these media companies telling us what's right and wrong. Morality is a personal matter and it's not up to them to decide. Hinge is supposed to be helping people connect, but they have no way of resolving conflicts. It's not clear what their role is in that situation.

Hinge is clearly violating the law by not upholding neutral public forum requirements. They could be fined or held liable if they're found to be in violation. It's time for companies like Hinge to be held accountable for their mistakes. They're impacting people's lives and it's not fair.

I work in the legal field and let me tell you, I have some thoughts on Hinge. From my personal experience and careful observation, it seems like their algorithm is 98% fraudulent. I mean, come on! 90% of the profiles are fake, bots, or just plain old catfish. And don't even get me started on the 5% of actual prostitutes using the site to lure men outside of Hinge. They label themselves as "Escorts" or "Companions" and will even give you their hourly rate. It's disgusting, really. And if you report them, they just pop up in another fake profile with different photos but the same person. I've had this happen not once, but five different times!

But wait, there's more! The worst part of this site is that any attractive profiles are most likely fake and they force you to pay for "Roses" just for the privilege of liking them and sending a message. Meanwhile, all the ugly profiles (which are also mostly fake) are free to like if you have a paid subscription. It's a total scam, bro. Hinge is just a big pile of garbage that will waste your time and money.

Honestly, you're better off going to some classy bars, events, and social gatherings to meet real women. Don't settle for this dating app run by the mafia. I mean, think about it. Only scumbags would run a business practice like this to rip people off and have their prostitutes working for them within the site. These scumbags need to get arrested for fraud and illegal trafficking. It's just not right.

I just wanted to share my experience with Hinge. I had been using Hinge for a while now and had a good time meeting new people. However, recently I got a new phone number and created a new account on Hinge. But to my surprise, the account got blocked for no apparent reason. I reached out to the customer service team and they sent me a generic response. I was extremely frustrated because there was no explanation and I was a genuine user.

I remember how a while back there were many fake profiles on the app. I reported them, but they kept popping up. Despite that, my actual profile was banned and I couldn't understand why. I'm disappointed that Hinge is so quick to block users without any clear reason, and they don't even care to resolve the issue. It's not fair that genuine users like me face the brunt of their flawed system.

I'm warning all my friends about my experience with Hinge and what an unfair treatment I received. Hinge should be more considerate towards its genuine users and be proactive in dealing with fake accounts.

Their response to my complaint was just as vague and unhelpful. They stated that the account had been permanently removed due to violations against their terms of service. They didn't even clarify what those violations were, leaving me clueless and frustrated.

I think it's ridiculous that they have a policy of not disclosing reasons for blocking accounts. As a genuine user, I would like to know why my account got blocked, but they don't seem to care about that. It seems that Hinge is more interested in making money than providing a safe and enjoyable experience for its users.

I just want to let everyone know that if you're considering using Hinge, be careful because they might randomly block your account for no apparent reason. I'm so disappointed that I must resort to airing my grievances on every possible platform, including consumer rights and third-party review websites.

If you're a paid member and looking to cancel your subscription and request a refund, you can find the necessary steps on either the iTunes site or the Google Play site. But my advice to everyone is to be careful with Hinge. They may not be as genuine as they claim to be.

I work in the legal field and are a fairly attractive man. I can tell you right now from personal experience and meticulous observation, that they have a algorithm setup that is 98 percent fraudulent. 90 percent fake profiles, bots, 5 percent are actual prostitutes looking for work, and maybe 5 percent real women who are mostly overweight and unattractive. The prostitutes use this site to lure men outside Hinge, but label themselves as "Escorts" or "Companions" and will give you their actual hourly rate. If you report them, you will see them just in another fake profile with different photos but same person. I had this happen not once, but five different times! The WORST part of this site, is that any attractive profiles would fake photos they force you to pay for "Roses" just for the privilege to like them and send them a message, while all other ugly profiles which are consequently also mostly all fake, are free to like if you have a paid subscription. So essentially HINGE is a big pile of gigantic gartbagepile of $#*! to waste your time and money! Bro you are better off to going to some classy bars, events, and social gathering to meet real women, then settling for this dating app run by the mafia. (Think about it, only scumbags would run a business practice like this to rip people off and have their prostitutes working for them within the site! - scumbags - need to get all arrested for fraud and illegal trafficking).

Hinge blocks genuine accounts for no reason

I made a new account with a new phone number and didn't get any matches so I emailed hinge and found out that they blocked my account. They gave me a generic cookie cutter copy and paste answer with no explanation why they blocked me.

I've been a long-time user of hinge and now I can't use it (after getting a new phone number) and I don't even get any explanation. A while back there was so many fake profiles, where I would constantly report them but it didn't stop more new fake profiles being made. But now my genuine profile is the one to be blocked. I'll be spreading my story to all my friends and warn them of how unfair hinge are to its genuine users- while at the same time allowing floods of very obviously fake accounts to be on the app.

Since hinge doesn't even make an attempt to resolve genuine users' issues or complaints, the only choice I have is to review and complain about it on every possible platform, consumer rights and third party review websites.

The hinge email response:
Hinge actively identifies behaviors that violate our Terms of Service. Your account has been permanently removed due to either or a combination of violations you've received against your account by other members, and/or our own independent determination.

As noted in our Terms of Service, "Hinge reserves the right to investigate and, if appropriate, suspend or terminate your account without a refund if you have violated these Terms, misused our Services, or behaved in a way that Hinge regards as inappropriate or unlawful, on or off our Services." To protect members' privacy, we will not disclose any further details about the reason for this ban. We understand that this policy may be frustrating but it's an important part of our efforts to keep Hinge safe.

To cancel your subscription and request a refund (if you are a paid member) to avoid any further subscription auto-renewal charges, please follow the steps on either the iTunes site or the Google Play site.

I've been using Hinge for about 10 months now and I gotta say, it's not always consistent. Sometimes, even if you're not interested in someone, they keep showing up in your feed. And the amount of likes you get doesn't seem to be based on any clear criteria - it's like some kind of secret algorithm or something.

One thing I've noticed is that the more you use the app, the more they try to get you to spend money on it. It's like they're always trying to upsell you on some premium feature or another. But honestly, I'm not really interested in all that.

At the end of the day, Hinge is just a big ol' hookup app. It's all about finding someone who's down to get down, based on how you look and how they look. I don't really care if the person I'm matching with has a PhD or whatever - as long as they're hot and they're into me, that's all that matters.

So yeah, if you're looking for a good time and you don't mind shelling out a few bucks here and there, Hinge might be worth checking out. But if you're looking for something more serious or meaningful, you might want to look elsewhere.

So, I downloaded Hinge and gave it a try. At first, I was pretty excited about all the matches I was getting on the free trial. But then, I decided to upgrade my membership and that's when things started to go downhill. Suddenly, most of my matches disappeared into thin air. I was left with a bunch of people who I wasn't interested in at all.

Honestly, I think this app is a total scam. It's like they lure you in with all these great matches and then once you pay for the premium membership, they take them all away. I mean, what's the point of that? It's like they're just trying to get your money and then leave you high and dry.

I'm pretty sure that there are a ton of fake profiles and bots on this app too. I mean, why else would my matches disappear like that? It's like they were never even real in the first place. And don't even get me started on the crooks who own and run this app. They're just preying on our money and it's not right.

So, my advice to you is to not waste your money on Hinge. It's a very dodgy app and you're better off finding love elsewhere. Trust me, you'll thank me later.

I decided to give Hinge a try, hoping it would be a refreshing change from all the other swiping apps out there. They claim that the app is "designed to be deleted," which made me think that it was intended for people who are looking for a serious relationship. Boy, was I wrong! Hinge turned out to be just like Tinder, Bumble, and all the rest. It's full of fake profiles, players, and men who are only looking for hookups. If you're hoping to meet a decent, respectful, and single man with serious intentions, I suggest you save your precious time and skip Hinge altogether. It's an absolute joke of an app.

So, I just got Hinge and I gotta say, the profile setup was pretty cool. I was able to add pics and vids and all sorts of deets about myself. But then, when I tried to actually use the app, it was like, "what the heck?" There's no way to search for people based on stuff like age or location. Instead, they just keep showing me these super hot women who are way younger than me. It's like, come on, Hinge, I'm not a total creep! Plus, I'm pretty sure some of these profiles are fake. I mean, I've only had the app for like 10 minutes and I'm already thinking about uninstalling it.

!

Hinge, let me tell you, is not worth your time or money. They have this section called "standout" that's supposed to be full of attractive people you'd be interested in, but it's all a bunch of fake profiles. And if you want to send a message to one of these fake profiles, you have to buy "roses." It's a total rip-off.

But that's not all. Once you become a member, Hinge's algorithms put your profile at the bottom of the pile, so no one sees it. And if you want to increase your visibility, you have to pay for their profile boost option. It's just another way for them to take your money.

And here's the kicker: if you don't renew your membership, all of a sudden you start getting 8, 9, 10 likes per day. It's like they're trying to lure you back in with fake attention. It's a total cash grab and nothing more.

Sure, you might match with some people on Hinge, but trust me, you're better off trying something else. This app is a huge scam. Don't waste your time or your money. Good luck out there!

Yo, so I was on OkC for a minute and it was poppin' off, but then I was like damn, I need a break from all these dates. So I heard about Hinge and thought I'd give it a try. First off, they only let you upload six pics, which is whack compared to other dating sites. Then they make you do these prompts, which are like, whatever man. And you can't even express yourself in your own way, like come on now. And then they only show me these perfect, polished dudes who look like they just stepped out of a frat house. Like, where are the real people at? And don't even get me started on how they keep trying to make me upgrade every two seconds. Like, I'm just trying to explore the app, give me a chance. Honestly, even Tinder is better than this garbage. I'm never using Hinge again.

I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed with Hinge. I signed up a few weeks back and shelled out $29.99 for a 6-month subscription. I was honest about my age - I'm 65 - and I made it clear that I was looking for men between the ages of 60 and 75. I didn't get a ton of matches, but that was fine with me. Quality over quantity, you know?

But then, just a couple of days ago, Hinge "matched" me with an 18-year-old. I mean, come on. Not only is that insulting and disgusting, but as a pediatrician, I could lose my medical license if I dated someone that young. It's like Hinge isn't even paying attention to what people are looking for.

I reached out to them to ask for a refund of my $29.99, but they haven't even bothered to respond. It's not about the money, really - it's about the principle of the thing. If Hinge is going to take people's money, they should at least make an effort to match them with people who are actually in their preferred age range.

It's pretty clear to me that Hinge is relying too heavily on some kind of algorithm to match people up, without any real human oversight. And that's just not good enough. If they want to keep people coming back, they need to do better.

I've been on Hinge for a few weeks now and I'm not having much luck. I've changed my prompts and photos, but I've only gotten one or two likes. I'm not sure if it's because the men on the site aren't active or if it's just a personal thing. It's frustrating because I was hoping to find someone to connect with.

One thing that really bothers me about Hinge is their "standouts" feature. They highlight certain profiles, but you can't message those people unless you pay extra to send them a rose. It feels like a scam and false advertising to me. I don't think I'll be renewing my subscription and I regret joining in the first place.

Overall, I'm disappointed with my experience on Hinge. I had high hopes for the site, but it just hasn't worked out for me. I hope they can improve their features and make it easier for people to connect.

So, I gave HINGE a try earlier this year and I gotta say, it's not really my cup of tea. The whole swiping thing is just like Bumble and Tinder, which I find pretty stupid and dumb. You swipe and wait for a response from the opposite sex, but most of the guys on this app are just looking for sex or maybe even money. It's pretty disappointing, to be honest.

Another thing that really bothered me about HINGE is that the guys on there don't seem to know how to respond with cute and simple greetings. Instead, they just use monotone one-syllable words, which is pretty boring and uninteresting. I mean, come on guys, put a little effort into it!

But the worst thing that happened with HINGE was when a friend of mine used it and ended up going on a date with a guy who may have raped her. She didn't want to report it because she was going through an ugly custody battle with her ex, but it was a really scary situation. So, I would definitely advise everyone to stay away from this app.

Personally, I only used HINGE for a minimum of two weeks and nothing really happened. I just spoke to some guys and that was it. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone. There are better options out there if you're looking for a dating app.

I gotta tell ya, I had a pretty bad experience with Hinge. I signed up for a 6 month subscription and they took $89.99 from me, but then they canceled my account after only 4 days! Can you believe that? I was so mad.

They sent me this email that didn't really explain anything. It just said that I violated their Terms of Service and that they were canceling my account. I asked them what I did wrong and if I could get my money back, but they just sent me this vague explanation about how they can investigate and terminate your account if they think you did something wrong.

But here's the thing, I think this site is full of fake profiles. I got contacted by a bunch of people who seemed too good to be true, and then they tried to scam me out of my money once they got me off the site. It's a total scam site, run out of Columbia.

So, if you're thinking about signing up for Hinge, I would definitely think twice. They might take your money and then cancel your account for no reason, and you might end up getting scammed by fake profiles. Just be careful out there, folks.
