    Not worth it — DO NOT waste your time, it’s got a million paywalls, you can’t even see who liked you and it’s stupid expensive

  • Badoo Dating: Meet New People1star· Sep 14, 2026

    Limited access — It is truly ridiculous that you have blocked access to this app for certain countries, such as Iran. The people of Iran have been among the app's biggest fans, and you should lift this restriction.

    Why don’t they want us having dates? — It’s so hard to believe tinder actually wants us to find matches. i spend a good amount. of time swiping through people. they actively show users less attractive users to make them swipe more (aka see more ads). i have yet to actually make meaningful connections on this app. how is tinder working to make MORE matches for users? they don’t let people filter wi

    Billing is questionable — The way in which you purchase credits and what they don’t include are scrutinized you buy them and you have to pay more to open a chat with someone regardless if you have credits or not

  • HUD™ Bedroom Dating App1star· Sep 15, 2026

    Buggy and barren — This app should not have been released in this state. Pages load inconsistently or not at all, poor UI design, getting notifications about a match and not being able to see who (this is with the premium+ paid subscription btw). Not to mention a very low user count, and the app will just send you out of state people whether your preference has a mile limit or not. If this app eve

    NOT LGBTQ FRIENDLY — This app seems to have a bias against the LGBTQ+ community, because my settings were set to women only, and I never got a 3-day free trial, nor did I have many options. That never happened when I set my preference to “men” or “everyone”. When I filed a complaint, I never got a response. However, when I had the app months ago and set my preference to “men” and made a complaint,

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly: nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A market rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 13,217 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the market carries it, at least 20 reviews are behind it, and the market’s rate is elevated above the store’s, the same cutoff used everywhere on this site, because a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug, and a problem every app on the store shares is nobody’s gap. This market has no full report yet, so the per-app notes are absent rather than estimated. The anger axis is counted either way: mean star of the reviews carrying each theme, from the same classifier as the counts above.
