PURE: Anonymous Dating App 17+

I downloaded this app 4 days ago it was great I found someone who we clicked immediately and everything was great until tonight as I’m writing this review I had found some stuff on Instagram that I thought we would enjoy so I tried sending him the link to it, but I couldn’t so I just did a screen recording of it like we started talking about it and like maybe we should get something like that because we are getting pretty serious and started looking for stuff and I was sending him pictures of stuff that I liked and what not and then I get banned and back and is like oh I’m sorry everything safe, but just let them do their job and you know the un your account about an hour goes by I messaged the people on Pure in the app and I get a message saying that my account has been banned indefinitely because I was asking for basically asking for money and return for sexual favors, but that was not the case we were just looking at stuff and we were talking about me coming to visit him so we were looking at prices for like flights and what not but I got banned and on top of it. They never told me that that was against the rules when I signed up for it, so I just want everyone to know that you do this just make sure that you filtered it and I mean hopefully they will see this and they will un ban my account because I did explain to them what we were doing, but they didn’t wanna hear it from me so that is my honest review

Hi! We've gone through your case thoroughly, just like we do with every email we receive. Unfortunately, after a careful review and a second look, we found that there were valid reasons for the ban on your account. Breaking the rules leads to a ban forever. There can be no exceptions when we protect our Pure community.

Somehow every person that likes me happens to be from the same town 413.9 miles away. They all ask to add them on Snapchat or Instagram. They also all have horrendous English. I don’t know where this magical town is but it seems that’s where every single person on this app resides.

Oh and if the one in a million person who is within 50 miles of me matches, literally every single one is out of gas and needs me to Venmo them some money. All with the promise of paying me back when we meet up. Or if they ask me to come over, all of them just so happen to be watching their younger cousins while their aunts are out of town and desperately need me to pick up a PS4 steam wallet game to keep the kids occupied. It’s truly amazing that every person on this app seems to have the same exact issues. Out of gas or needs the codes to a digital game pass? So weird!

But seriously, this app is nothing but bots. It’s become more entertainment at this point to see how the scammers update their bots almost in real time. I’m willing to bet that almost every positive review on this app is a paid review to boost their image. And did I mention I got an alert from the supposed developers that I report fake profiles too much? Yeah. Really comforting to know that they are on it when it comes to the rampant bot issue

Hi there! We are really sorry the app has not impressed you :-(
Please let me assure you that people in Pure are mostly not good, but awesome! :-)
However, we live in the real world and in the real world some people suck, unfortunately :-(
We're working hard to minimize the number of such worthless users in Pure! And I hope you've reported them so that our system could ban their accounts forever!
By the way, our new limited range of authorization methods is expected to dramatically reduce their number soon!
And have your tried the app different days of the week? You know, the number of users depends on that and a time of the days as well. Please, check that out, you might be surprised with the difference ;-)
Also, I'd like to ask you to send an email mentioning this review to our Support team so that we can find a way to change your overall impression :-)
We're looking forward to your email at feedback@pure.app.
Have a nice day!

I’ve been on and off this app for the last 5-6 years (off when in relationship) and never had an issue. However, I have been accused of by matches of being a bot or asking for money, but redeemed that by sending TRUE PHOTOS. I decided to cut out that repetitive conversation, so I clarified in my bio that I am NOT looking for sugar daddies/babies or looking for monetary gain. Immediately after hitting “publish”, I got banned.

I emailed the Pure feedback team per suggestion, asking for clarity/reason for ban and to get my account back as I did not violate guidelines to my knowledge and the team responded with “We do not give away the exact reason or situation so that you don't get upset with anyone in particular but we can only suggest you read our guidelines more accurately to see where you have violated the rules.” To add on, they ended the email very rude by stating, “you lose. So, for now, that's a goodbye.”

It feels like women are being targeted for bans because we don’t have to pay any subscription. At that point, you guys should be charging EVERYONE to use the app to really create the “safer environment” you claim to create. Using that logic, I kept seeing fraud accounts I reported, making me feel very not safe. Do better, Pure.

Hey! So, we’ve carefully reviewed your appeal and given it another look. Unfortunately, we can’t change our decision. Bans are only applied for serious violations to keep Pure safe for everyone — it’s our top priority. Feel free to check out Pure’s rules and policies on our website (just scroll to the bottom of any page). We know this might be disappointing, and we really appreciate your understanding.
