Preliminary Review

J. E.S.
I happened to see an article in Men’s Health Magazine titled, “The 17 Best Sex Apps for Finding a Casual Hookup”, and Down Dating was one of the 17. It was easy to set up my profile, in fact you have limited space to describe yourself and/or what you are looking for. Instead, the app relies on picking what you’d be “down” to trying - things like cuddling, kissing, fwb, group play, etc. You also can choose what type of relationship you are looking for - casual or more serious. I’ve only been on the site a very short time, but I have not seen any clearly fake profiles, nor received any message from bots or catfishers like I have on some other sites (like when your profile is essentially empty) and a “women” is reaching out to you). I have sent a few likes and messages, but have not heard back anything yet, but if anything, at this point that makes me feel like this is a legitimate site (and it was in the Men’s Health article which also lends it some degree of credibility). I hope to be able to report back soon my further experience with the site confirming this preliminary review.

The reviews gota b fake, there’s nothing 5 star about this…I believe a lot of the profiles are fake, some people like me, but they don’t never respond and it doesn’t look like even a real profile. Then the membership doesn’t get you anything but unlimited swipes and being able to see your likes… you have to pay a dollar to send a message basically a dollar per first message if you guys don’t match. The whole point in getting memberships is to probably be able to message and with this app that isn’t included there’s really nothing even included in the membership, but there is nothing that tells you what the membership includes before you buy it. I just bought it and took a chance anyways and then once I got it for the main reason of probably messaging people that’s not even included. i’m almost sure that the rest of these reviews are fake. They are short and they all kind of sound the same and I’ve scrolled down and I haven’t seen anyone say what I’ve said, and I know that would and should be a complaint. I am real life, not ugly, but the white women just look at me and never like or say anything, and the ones that did like me aren’t responding. i’m not getting any matches and I am not unattractive. I swipe right on everybody and all I ever get matched is an attractive women and big women. I believe the profiles are mainly bots

We’re sorry that you feel this way about our app. We’re sorry to hear you’re not getting the matches you were hoping for. You can see all nearby matches in the Down tab, and our app is designed to show you a mix of people based on activity and proximity. We’re already testing out even better filters to sort out profiles, which means you'll be able to try them out soon. We do have over 17M users worldwide with a good number of user activities and matches each day, so we wonder if there’s something wrong with your account.Fake profiles and bots are strictly prohibited on our platform. We’ve implemented mandatory verification for all users to ensure every account is genuine. If you ever come across a suspicious profile, please report it, and our 24/7 safety team will review and take action. We also want to clarify that all reviews are genuine. Please reach out to us at ops@downapp.com so that we can personally check your account and see why you are having these issues. We hope you can give us another try, as we are improving the app with every update. Thank you!

Not that good of an app, way better ones out there

Overpriced & nobody ever responded to any attempts made to begin communicating. If you make a mistake & accidentally swipe up or down, you add somebody mistakenly to those that you like even though you may not like them at all. But bc there is so much clutter on the screen, whenever attempting to simply move the picture up or down to gain a better perspective & better view of a given picture & profile, you end up “liking,” or wanting to either date ir hookup w a given person even though you don’t want to at all. Just trying to see a profile picture & it ends thinking you want to get w that person. It’s a terrible design & there is no way of deleting a mistake “date,” or “hookup.” So then you end up stuck w profiles & people who you don’t want to date, or hookup w, but end up stuck w a list of possible mistakes that you can’t undo. Your just stuck w a bunch of people who you don’t want to talk to or date, but I guess they end up thinking you do just bc you wanted a better look at their profile picture so the app punishes you by making you keep your mistakes, no way or correcting them. Also, no of looking back at any “flirts,” you may have sent & what you said to any person. In case you wanted to go back & see what you said to who, it’s not possible. Not a fan of the app, will not be renewing.

Developer Response

Ridiculous app
03/02/2025

Wild bill321
This app is ridiculous. You can see all types of people on here, you can even like people and have them like you back. Most accounts on here are fakes, with well known social media influencers stock photos from social media being used to attempt to lure people in. You cannot at all interact with anyone on this site unless you pay the $32 a month subscription fee. Oh, and when you sign up, you’re automatically entered into a re-occurring subscription that charges $32 a month that is charged to your debit card. This site is a literal scam, because what happens is that as soon as you sign up for their subscription JUST TO BE ABLE TO MESSAGE!!! The people that liked you previously all the sudden become ghosts. All the accounts on here are not real and are actual bots that mimic interactions in order lure you in to paying. Then as soon as you pay, the bots become silent because this company has already gotten what they want from you and that is your money. There is absolutely no and I really mean ZERO customer service to contact either. Like, they don’t even have that option. So as soon you opt to give them your debit card or payment details, you’re now locked into a subscription that you cannot cancel or get out of. I’m not even certain how they get away with literally scamming people and get to remain on the App Store. This definitely needs to be looked in to. DON’T SAT YOU WEREN’T WARNED!
