Update - April 2022: Since my original rating, it seems as though developers have fixed the bugs that were causing the app to crash frequently. As that was my main issue with the app, I’m giving them another star. Now, my only real complaint is the lack of ability to “go back” to a skipped profile. I’m not paying for premium, so I’m not sure if that’s a feature with paid plans. Other major dating apps that charge for this feature will at least display the button for all users, so you know it’s an option if you want it. — — —I first used Feeld about 3 years ago, and was really turned off by how buggy the app is. Constant crashes, frequent need to log back in using a link sent to my email, etc. These bugs annoyed me enough that I deleted my account. About a month ago I decided to join again, as it’s really difficult to use the typical dating apps to connect with others looking for the same things as I am. I thought, surely they had to have fixed these issues after all this time. Nope! Still a huge pain, and not much better than before. Yet here I am, a masochist enduring these frustrations for the hopes of meeting someone(s) special. Sigh. Please, Feeld, get better.

This app is solid so far. The only big problem I have with this and many other dating apps is that you HAVE to buy some membership in order to message or see profiles. Now, the good thing is that they don’t limit you to one pic, you just need to add like 3 or 4 pics of yourself in order to see their pictures, or if your uncomfortable about your appearance, you can just click on an add, once the add is finished you can actually see the person’s pics. And I think the main problem with this app is that you can’t even message people, they didn’t even considered giving us like “100 messages” for say to be able to chat. You are forced to buy the memberships in order to chat with someone. Now, there is a loophole to this. And that is simply giving put your insta, X, telegram or some other messaging app in your Bio. You just gotta pray that someone will come across your profile and scroll down to your Bio and is actually interested in chatting with you. Now, a system that I recommend, in the next possible update, add free messages, like up to 50 or 100. Once the user uses them all, set a timer to restore their free messages, like c’mon isn’t this app and many other dating apps’s purpose to make people chat & hookup? Like use your heads, stop thinking about the money and think about what your customers are in for, we can all agree that we’re TIRED of these membership plans and having to spend money and waste our time. Like I’m way too focused on knowing women my age in my local area

I’ve been on this app for a few years now and it’s always been hit or miss and buggy. And the developers could make it so it doesn’t have to be this way! I live in a major metro area and it’s one of the locations in the list they have. But when you filter to only see people that have been online in last seven days even with a generous distance range, full age range, Females (hetero, bi), and not restricted to specific desires - you get a handful of people a day. When you take off the recent filter you get MANY people and most of them haven’t been on in over a month. Feeld needs to engage their users more to increase recency and there are ways to doThis. Also, in the dating world I’m hearing more and more people add it to their app list and you’re seeing more vanilla people on it which is fine - but they have to increase user engagement. Also, it’s buggy. When I pull it up and set it toMy location (again I live in a large metro) I get some users according to my filters. But when I first login, it says out of users in are. So I toggle to the location list, see users, and then back to my location, and see users. This is a bug that should be solved and perhaps why they get less user engagement. Also, if I’m searching in one of the location lists it’s an immediate “pass” on people 1000s of miles away. We should be able to filter these people out.

This app used to work decently, and I’m not a paid member so perhaps I don’t have much a box to stand on. Then they updated it and it went to heck. It first listed your exact microtown (no thank you, I prefer to be able to search by the city I’m near, and I do not like having my specific microtown listed.) The next update removed location seemingly altogether. (NOT HELPFUL EITHER!) Now, after several updates over the past week, one still cannot send photos (the button appears to be decorative only at this point), like or dislike a human (the app freezes entirely and you have to reboot it) and the location appears to still be completely missing from everyone’s profile. Am I looking at locals? Presumably because some of them have been in my feed since before the updates. The “seen” message by a message disappeared too, which was helpful to know if someone was inactive versus just… meh about returning messages. I’m guessing everyone there at Feeld is rushing around with their pants on fire (most programmers I know work doubles when a program is due or an update has gone badly) and while I don’t envy them their schedules right now, I’d really like the old version of the app back. Apps like this have sort of taken the place of church and bars in terms of “how to meet people while non-religious and not a drinker” for much of my generation and those younger. It’s a shame to have it become the equivalent of a local watering hole suddenly with a sign on front that says “closed until further notice”…
