I think the app is setup well in terms of the thoughts that went into the options to building peoples profiles. But they’re pretty cheap people. You can’t even message anyone on the app even if they message you first because you have to have “credits to message someone. Guess what, “credits” cost money. Minimum amount that’s currently available is $85 worth of credits. the app is weird too. I post 3 pictures on my profile as public, write a bio that includes my number and snap chat, I then save everything and it shows everything public and posted as I saved it. Then I log back in and my phone number and Snapchat were removed from the bio and two of the pictures I posted as public, are now Private. So I tap the option on both pictures to make them public and it didn’t work. So I delete the pictures from my profile and repost them as public and it worked. I then re added my phone number and Snapchat in my bio (again bc I have no credits to message anyone) and it saved. I log in again later on and same thing happened. My phone number and Snapchat info are specifically removed from bio. And the two pictures I posted were made private again. They’re literally just pictures of me w some friends. Don’t recommend this app

Total rip-off and a blatant scam. This app forces you to buy expensive credits just to do anything meaningful—like sending messages, replying, or even viewing new ones (it costs credits to open “collect” messages). The second you load up on credits, your inbox floods with flirty messages from “women” who keep chatting just long enough to drain them all.But guess what? Almost every single one is a bot or scammer. They use scripted responses, push you to move to WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal right away, and then hit you with extortion schemes, crypto scams, or fake sob stories begging for money. You’re tempted to keep spending credits chasing a real connection, only to realize it was all fake.Unbelievable that this app is still allowed on the App Store and Google Play—it’s been exposed for using bots for years, yet nothing changes. The high ratings (around 4 stars) must be fake too; no real user would rate it that highly with this many scammers and zero genuine matches for most men.I strongly advise everyone: DO NOT use Ashley Madison. Save your money and avoid the frustration. Before even thinking about any transaction, research real user feedback on Reddit (search r/adultery or similar)—you’ll see the same warnings over and over.And whatever you do, NEVER post explicit pictures on your profile or send them to anyone on here. It’s a haven for blackmailers and scammers. Biggest regret—stay far away!

The app crashes anytime I try to buy credits. So went to my laptop and I got a message saying I can’t use my cc. My bank didn’t block cause I called them. The messages, winks, favorites come in all out of order and move one again after you view it. They cancel 10,000 fake accounts a day as told to me by a CSR. So out of the few hundred I received in a week, 5 were legitimate. I know this because I emailed them and they let me know they were banned. If you decide to email them to have a profile reviewed that can take up to several days. Sure you can report them in the site itself but when you do they automatically get blocked until the review process has been complete. If they are legit you won’t know unless you remember to unblock them. I will say you will get credits back for any fakes which again will take time. You could only message verified accounts but there are a lot less of those. Lastly is very expensive to buy credits. Lastly you can call if you want but lots of times it says they are busy and to call back. So unless you’re flush with cash, have a lot of time to try and get them vetted, or are willing to constantly wait to get credits back, don’t bother.

I am 40 and I been doing this online thing since I was 21. POF use to be good. AFF as well not anymore. Ashleymadison is the next best thing today. They still have fakes on there but not as many as the other hookup apps on here. If you see a womans profile saying they are “slim” more than likely they are fake spammers. Go for the new members first as well. I hooked up a decent amount of times on this site over the years. I just miss craigslist personals so much though and I am having trouble finding a replacement for CL. CL was very successful for me. I love the credit format on Ashleymadison. No monthly memberships. Credits is the way to go. Just be careful with collect messages. They are less than regular messages but you can’t keep replying. They charge you 8 more credits to keep messaging after accepting a collect message. Just message that woman who is sending you that but collect messages are usually just winks. And whoever sends you those collect messages don’t even know they are doing it I suspect. Ignore them. Just message who you like. Also I hate how they changed the format of the search page. I wanna know who is online now. Not in the past 24 hours. Also if it says she’s online she probably isn’t. A lot of them tell me they weren’t online all day but it says they are. So don’t get mad if they don’t respond to you right away. Women are so fragile if you even say where were you they ditch you. Talk to them nicely even though they treat you like crap lol. Just saying. Too many women seeking donations as well. Sugar babies etc. get a job!!!
