What users complain about in Tinder Dating App: Date & Chat

Horrible experience

Met someone there who was a scammer and stole 6000$ for me

Unfairly banned

Been using this app for a couple years and one day I get on and I’m banned had people I was talking to and I appealed it and they told me unapproved. I don’t know how you can ban somebody from your app when they’ve done absolutely nothing wrong.

unsafe, not worth your time

you would be better off going out and finding people at events or work to date or be friends with. i turned 18 earlier this year. everything is locked behind a paywall almost wall i have 30 year old men liking my profile and theres nothing way to block them, turn them down, or filter them away from my profile because i have not paid for premium. you cant go incognito without paying them, you cant filter through people you might actually like without paying them. if your age is set under 21 you cant filter through put the drinking and smoking options to yes. as an 18 year old i am uncomfortable with people over 20 and they wont let me filter 18-20 it keeps me stuck at 18-23 so its a lot of pointless swiping. mentioning again any 30 year old can like my profile and i’m in no power to block them. worst of all i was suspended for suspicious activity and i don’t even know how what could i possibly have done? i already verified and that itself took forever. theres nothing wrong i could have done because i cant even message people first without matching with them or paying.

Most accurate review on here.

So, I’ve been using Tinder for about three years now. I’m a fairly attractive guy with a perfect bio, good pictures, and a good heart. Tinder has a feature called the “Ghost List,” which means that when you like someone, your profile gets added to that list. I even paid for Tinder Premium, but it wouldn’t even show me who liked me. Sometimes, I’d scroll through the app and see that someone had liked me, but they wouldn’t appear in my likes. Tinder automatically unmatches people and randomly deletes your messages, making it look like the other person unmatched you. This app is a scam. You will never find a girl on here because you're always at the bottom, regardless of how you look. Girls get thousands of likes, and 99% of them are bots. Every account that likes you is most likely a bot designed to trick you into scrolling through their app. You’re better off using Facebook Dating. It sucks too, but it’s much more accurate and has way fewer bots.

Filters that you have to pay for don’t work

Tried to use language filter but had to buy premium. Filter doesn’t work, still shoes profiles with language I don’t speak. And to get to the profiles I need, I have to deep mine for hours. Total scam… What its all for???

Always terrible but now somehow worse.

This app literally gets worse every year, which I didn’t know was possible. I got 5 likes and tel matches after being using it frequently for two months straight and totally on brand for Tinder ,I had half a convo with each of them before getting ghosted. You actively don’t show profiles and have decided that it’s good business to make the free version of this app terrible so people will pay for the functional version.

Broken Age Restriction

Keeps age restricting me even after photo ID.

Bad set up

The app has a tendency to show you people that say near by and when you match with them there hundreds of miles away. It makes you think there close so you might buy a first chat then it’s a waste because there so far away. And when I say it’s wrong I mean like says 30 miles and after you match 111 miles that just happens to me.

Not worth it

Users beware. I received a coupon code for 50% off Tinder Gold. Unfortunately Tinder makes it extremely hard to enter a coupon code and I ended up having to log in to my account more than 10x to make the purchase. After I made the purchase I returned to the app where it told me I needed to verify my identity before I could access the app. I submitted my driver’s license and waited the 24 hours. My identity was verified but I still was unable to use the app. I reached out to support and they said they had to escalate the ticket to a higher up, which to then I waited an additional 48 hours before asking when I will expect a response. I waited until business closed on the same day before getting in contact with my credit card company because why pay $20 for something you cannot use. I ended up getting permanently banned because they made adding a coupon extremely difficult (on purpose I’m sure) and then couldn’t answer their email. I attempted to appeal the ban but they don’t let you add comments so of course I am still banned. Moral of the story is don’t use a coupon code 🙄

Sucks scamer

Banned for no reason they refuse to tell me why.

Full of romance scam bots(even verified profiles)

I ran into 3+ separate bots. Fully verified profiles and everything. Texted like legitimate beings and then they try luring you into romance scams and ask for Money.

Just like the rest of the dating apps

Delusional females, a waste of time and money the distance feature is messed up. I live on the east coast and it’ll show 16 miles that someone is that far away from me? And then it’ll say that they’re in California, ridiculous, Deleted!

Worthless

Literally freezes every time I try to use it.

Purchasing first impressions no longer works

Just gives an error message that says “cannot connect to App Store”

Worst support team ever little to no help and cant do their jobs

So signed up for a tinder on my 18th birthday 4 years ago and the day after my account was banned probably because the moderation ai thought i was a minor. Every year i have tried to appeal this ban and get the same copy paste responses. Worst support team ever lol i have been on multiple different dating apps and not a single one has had worse of a support team on them. The reason Im reason im writing this review is so hopefully someone in their support to would see this and help me because it really sucks that my account got banned for no actual reason and now i cant make an account at or get a chance to even try tinder.

It works but .. there are issues

I’ve been on your site about a year and a half. It definitely boasts the highest population of mediocre whyte men carrying dead fish in photos. It certainly employs plenty of predatory tactics in its upselling of a more *top tier* experience. Catfish accounts are rampant, men’s profiles call women horrible names and say horrible things, so it could use some more safeguards there. Also BRING back the ability to see accounts you’ve liked that haven’t liked you back yet, and hello, add READ RECEIPTS that don’t cost $20. Please add the ability to send photos and video, but with proper precautions. Just hire me to fix it, I won’t charge much and I’m fun to be around. It’s better than the GODAWFUL app Hinge at least. So can we talk about these changes?

False reporting got me banned

I had a girl admit to revenge reporting me for not showing up on a date. She reported me and I was banned moments later. The app wouldn’t let me send them proof that she had false reported me. Instead they denied my appeal immediately. Their appeal system is a joke and anyone can get kicked off with no proof they did anything wrong.’

Worst dating app on the market

I’ve been using this app off and on and I can say years ago it was good and worked very well. Now I receive barely any matches. You basically have to hope the person you swipe on is paying in order to get a match. Premium is a joke and does nothing and the boosts are complete scams. Save your money and look elsewhere. This app just destroys self esteem and is a money vacuum. Shame on the developers.

Scam in 2026

Barely can send likes, pay wall, useless in 2026.

Absolutely terrible

They completely removed the feature to edit bios, contacting support only prompts automated messages suggesting the same troubleshooting steps that do not work. The prices are outrageous, the app is full of fake profiles, every feature is bugged, and it only seems to be getting worse with updates. DO NOT waste your time or money with Tinder, you’re better off sliding into Instagram DMs or using Facebook dating

Don’t waste your time

Tinder, like all dating apps, is a complete joke. Only if you spend upwards of $30 a month will you have a chance of success, unless you’re a 10. Lots of people will like you, but you won’t be able to see who they are unless you pay. It’s seriously a cruel joke. Delete the app and go out into the world. You’ll have a better chance of meeting someone worthwhile.

GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know if I’m just ugly or what but women don’t interact with me here or irl. I just feel disgusting. I’m fit and pretty skinny but I’m just trash. Women just want these loser weirdo guys. I am nothing. I can’t drive. I legit am worthless.

Waste of time

I haven’t been in a relationship for almost 5 years and I thought it would be a good idea to use tender. Use the app for a month straight and I only have one like. I would recommended if you just go out and talk to people.

App update

This app sucks since the update that took away key features
