Hinge Dating App: Match & Meet 17+

If you are sick of other dating apps and the hookup culture that is associated with those apps and you want an app that is wholesome and full of really nice men this is the app. I deleted a few other dating apps middle last year because I was so over all the disgusting messages girls get about hooking up. I honestly just gave up on finding someone but I decided to keep this app to see what happens. Most of the men I talked to were really sweet, a few were average but I never had an uncomfortable and disgusting message. And then August last year I started talking to this beautiful boy, who is the sweetest soul in the whole world and now he is my boyfriend. We have been together for nearly 5 months now and I wouldn’t change a thing. He has no red flags and the most kindest and beautiful boy I’ve ever met and my parents absolutely adore him. It feels like a dream to date him and he’s not real but he is and his amazing. So this dating app is really about dating and there are so many more wholesome people on this app than I thought. I highly recommend this app!!!

I recently got banned due to the algorithm thinking I was under 18 (I’m 25). I’ve tried submitting an appeal and I’ve been met with some of the worst customer support I’ve ever experienced. Replies are days and sometimes weeks apart, unresolved issues and being asked to submit my DRIVERS LICENSE for proof of age (private information which they keep in their database). I submitted my ID to Socure (recommended by Hinge and Melissa the Trust and safety worker), they couldn’t “verify” my ID but the ID is still in their database along with all of my information. So they farm and keep my data (which I no longer give permission to use) but they deny me using their platform? So far there has been no resolution and support has not responded. Also the women on there are the absolute worst, they don’t want the human interaction they want the validation and attention. This is a huge waste of my time as someone who’s looking for a connection. A new policy should be implemented where all accounts automatically delete after 6 months, and you have to make the account again and match with people again in order to keep the time wasters off. That way if you only have 6 months to make a connection you’d take it more seriously. Otherwise risk loosing all your matches and free attention/validation.

Best dating app of the bunch, can’t fault it’s design philosophy and the app functions really well. Couple things the app could try to integrate is:

1. The user should be able to easily refer to a matches prompts and have it shown visually in the chat at any point during the conversation. The app currently only allows the user to do this at the beginning of the chat when the user sends out its like or rose to a potential match.

2. If a user has purchased the Hinge + subscription but then wishes to upgrade to HingeX, they do so at a monetary loss as the original Hinge + subscription runs in the background for its agreed period while the user accepts full price for HingeX. My recommendation here is that if Hinge+ subscribers wish to upgrade then they should do so at a discounted rate until their original Hinge+ subscription lapses.
