“This app is awful. I've been on it for a month now and I've not gotten a single message. Why? No idea, because Hinge gives you zero information. I don't know how many people have even seen my profile. I don't know if people didn't like the messages I sent. I don't even know if the people got my mess”
“NEVER PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION TO THIS DISCRIMINATORY MATCH GROUP MONOPOLIZATION. I’m leaving this so others understand exactly what they’re getting into with Match Group platforms like Hinge and Tinder. My account was permanently banned with no warning, no explanation, and no evidence of any wrongdoi”
“Frustrating experience. My Hinge account was permanently banned for a Terms of Service violation, but I was never told what I did wrong. I appealed, but the decision stayed the same with no explanation. Possibly triggered by reinstalling the app multiple times. I even had an active paid subscription”
“Hinge banned my account for being honest without even cross checking the issue. This app is talking about serious relationships where the majority here are married or in for casual. Shame on you Hinge app.”
“Biased waste of space on my phone. Terrible app and horrible algorithm. If you want to feel depressed and realize it's better to meet somebody in person download Hinge. Overpriced.”
