I downloaded this yesterday and I woke up to someone who likes my profile and they left an intro. I couldn’t find a way to respond and honestly I was confused so k was looking it up on google. But then I realized I need a subscription to be able to respond; and I feel like I’m ghosting the guy even though I quite literally just can’t talk to him. Personally I find that ludicrous, the reason you go on a dating app is to find people that you have common ground with, talk to them, and maybe get into a relationship. Do I just have to hope that the person I like also likes me? Or do I just have to hope they have a subscription just so we can maybe chat and it ends up not working out anyway? Genuinely how am I going to expect to meet someone when I can’t even answer their question without paying an absurd amount of money? And even then the subscription doesn’t give you much in the first place. I would be all for a subscription if it gave me more OR was cheaper.

Hi Sm0ll queen, We're sorry to hear this felt confusing — good news is you're not ghosting him! Intro messages appear in your chat once you match with that person, so liking his profile back is what opens up the conversation, not a subscription. A free account already lets you like, match, and message anyone you've matched with.
PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBSCRIBING

This week I downloaded the Christian Mingle dating app. Everything was going well as far as meeting and talking to some men. About two days in the entire website must have gone down because I could log in. Then yesterday I had been blocked from my account right after sending to someone I was talking to. I have tried to reach out in several ways to get support with no avail. Their contact support button leads to a page saying that their site is currently down for maintenance.. I also tried emailing them to the email address that they offer with no response. I looked them up on Instagram and decided not to try there because they haven’t been active on that page for a couple of years.. And I looked them up on Facebook and the last time they posted on Facebook was this past February. I still sent a message just in case there, but there has been no response. This morning I tried sending a reply back to the original email I had received when I first signed up and I automated email response that they were forwarding that email. I’m hoping they will do so and restore my account. I did pay for a three month membership. However, I am going to go back to Apple, and see if I can get a full refund. As it hasn’t even been a week using this app! This is not just the app. This is also online on their website through a computer. Please be careful, you may want to just move on instead of wasting your money and time! If anything happens, there is no one to help!

Hi Licorice_smile_22, We're sorry to hear this — being locked out with no way to reach anyone is a serious concern, and we'd encourage one more try at support@christianmingle.com, referencing this review for context. Since you subscribed through Apple, a refund request there is handled directly by Apple and doesn't depend on our team's response.
Terrible app and UX
Organic gem
This was a complete waste of $50! I lost matches I liked and then couldn’t ever get them back. I liked someone in my Recommended list and the also disappeared and I had no idea why. Couldn’t find an explanation in the help guide. Then when trying to figure out what one of the icons meant in Discover tried to exit out of it and it liked someone I’d never like and there was no way to undo that, so I had to just cancel my account after a few days even though I paid. I also didn’t like how you receive a limited list of recommendations and then have to wait 24 hours or more to see another batch. You can’t just search profiles at your own pace, rather you’re served up potential matches in small batches. Then you have to waste time just going through the Discover which is full of people you’d never want to match with based on what you’re looking for. All the people liking me were wait out of my location requirements, too. The logic and the UX just weren’t working for me, so I’m moving to another app.

Do not use this app! I’m already three months into it and have gotten no new updates since I started. There are better dating sites than this app. I repeat turn away. Do not download this app. It is the worst app for dating! I paid six months to be a part of this dating app. I have nothing but regret after signing up. It appears that in my area there are no members who have paid for this app so they’re sending me to outside of the state that is beyond the distance I put in for preference. I continue to get the same recommendations daily. It says it will update but never does. Now I’m waiting out my six months before I delete this app.Update I’m in the last month of my six months. I finally am getting matches. However, I find out that the matches are coming from silver singles, not Christian mingle. Do not use this dating site. They are such a scam and if you’ve signed up for silver singles and Christian Mingle, you just wasted your money because they’re one of the same.
