Cougar: Dating Mature Women 17+

I really want to like this app, but it’s pretty tough to. Some issues I had with the app are the following:
1. You couldn’t search by distance. Okay, you waste a lot of time looking at profiles of people that you’re never going to consider meeting because they’re way to far. Unless one is an international traveler or looking for a long distance relationship, there is no point in seeing profiles in other countries or on the other side of the current country.
2. It advertises cougars dating, yet functions like an average dating site. I came on this app to specifically find cougars. What did I find? Men and women who were interested in men who were older than them. It was challenging finding an actual cougar lady.
3. You can’t search by age. They have you input the age range you’re looking for when you create the profile, but ignore it when you’re actually browsing for matches. It’s annoying looking for a lady over 30, but constantly going through profiles of women in their early 20s

Now, there is something I do like about the app. I really savor the showcase function. It allows you to post pictures and the like to get yourself out there more often. It also allows you to see other people’s pictures.

Sadly, the awesome showcase function didn’t overweigh my dislike of the app’s lack of browsing parameters. :(

I was somewhat optimistic to start, the reviews looked promising, it seemed like a decent app to meet people. Upon first launch and account creation it was glitchy… first red flag. I proceeded, though. Made my account. Then, I hit the wall: I had to have a subscription to respond to these women that were messaging/viewing my profile. Whatever, I thought to myself, I tried it, again trying to maintain the optimism. Suddenly, the views/messages slowed down significantly as if you’re fed notifications to try to lure you into paying for a subscription… second red flag. Regardless of this, I still tried. At the point of writing this, after spending a few hours nonstop I can conclude there’s 3 types of ‘people’ id interact with: 1) escorts / hookers always conveniently living close to me, 2) older women seemingly interested in being a sugar momma but fishing a scam, 3) bots using new profiles and sending the same snap to me several times in a row.

Everything was a scam, every interaction was fake, highly considering writing a report to BBB as well. I formally requested my money back, also. This app as far as I’m concerned is just part of the schemes the people on the app engage in. 0/10 stars. I’ll consider removing this review AFTER I get my money back.

Truly a terrible user experience. I understand an app offering different levels of experience for users with their product, different levels of access and different features and such for paying customers, but this app doesn’t even let you message folks without ponying up first, so forget being able to do anything more involved than that as well. Not only is the user experience a nightmare, the user interface, or app layout i suppose, is absolutely hellish. Not only is it difficult yo navigate and hard to even understand, but even its choices of color and design are enough to induce an apocalyptic migraine. Do not download or use this app, let alone pay money to do so. This app is the Scrooge of the modern internet/app field. To use this app is to invite a pox upon your own house. 1/10, cannot ethically recommend.
