Duet Dating App: Chat & Meet 17+

This app is a scam 0/5 🌟

I’m only putting 5 stars so that this’ll be at the top and people can see this. Out of all of the apps I finally decided to pay for it’s subscription and the one I chose happened to be one this one unfortunately, out of all of the matches I only got 1 response and was online and the rest were never online meaning they were probably filler accounts/bots. I bought the premium because it kept saying that someone liked me and there would be captions on their profiles saying “she chose you over 15 other guys” but when I would switch sections that number would change meaning it was just a fake automated message by Duet trying to pressure you into buying their subscription by making you think that someone’s interested but then you find out it’s a filler account. Another thing to mention is that after I canceled my membership it was constantly bugging me to verify my picture or saying it wasn’t clear enough when clearly it was clear enough, I even zoomed in on it and changed photos but it kept telling me there was something wrong with it but there wasn’t at all. So unless if they do a lot of improvement on this app I would highly recommend not buying their subscriptions until they fix it and to be honest I wouldn’t even waste your time trying to use it for free because it’s basically impossible to find someone on here.

My honest review

In complete and total honesty, I’ve been looking for an app to replace Tinder. However, Duet does hold matches from you in an attempt to make you buy their premium feature. The problem with that is it discourages new people from staying and it means that buying the premium is worth it because there’s only few people. My honest advice is to just wait until the app developers realize that is actually making people leave and reverse it.
Other than the app holding matches from you in an attempt to get you to buy premium, the app’s usability is decent. It’s not as streamlined as Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble, so people are forced to take a good minute to actually put effort into their profile. Making profiles more mandatory to get verified is a very good policy to have as it’ll stop bots and fakes from getting on the app.
The profiles themselves were good, people do take time to build it up, and put their information. Even the ones with no bio, there’s still plenty of info for them to share.
Price of Premium is another problem. With the app not having many people, i wouldn’t pay $24 a month. If it were up to me, premium would be $10 a month, in attempt to keep what community i have, and encourage building up because i know a majority of people want a replacement for Tinder.
In conclusion I do not recommend Duet as it’s a ghost town, and it’ll stay a ghost town. However if premium is reversed you make see people flock in.

Review

So I've been using this app for a few days, and here are a few critiques I have. So first things first, like most other apps out there you have to pay to see your likes. Unfortunately that's pretty much the standard. Still not a fan of that. Second, I set my age preferences to between the ages of 22-25 and I've received likes from people older than that, which should not be happening. Third, I have my preferences set to everyone (meaning both men and women), and I seem to only be seeing male profiles and have yet to see any women, I have to click the just women option to even see their profiles. I also feel like the format of the like/dislike/and 'crush' buttons as your scrolling peoples profiles is a bit odd, because it sits on the side of the screen before you hit the bottom of the page, I've already accidentally hit the gem button on someone I hadn't planned on using it on. And there isn't a clear way to reverse it before they can possibly match with you, which could make things awkward. It seemed like much more in the ads I kept seeing on instagram, I don't feel like it's better or worse than any other apps out there.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand the frustrations with common features like paying to see likes and matched profiles not aligning with your preferences. We’re actively working on improving our system to honor your age and gender settings. The layout of buttons causing accidental presses is also something we’re exploring solutions for.

We aim to make Duet a better experience and appreciate your patience and feedback. If you need further assistance or have more concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. Thank you for trying our app, and we hope to enhance your experience soon.
