When I searched for an app that was simple to use and highly rated, Hinge is the one that came up that intrigued me. I got on it and I liked the customization it had to one’s profile to be as transparent as possible. Using the actual app is very easy too and it got me to go on dates with 2 people. The first was alright at first, then I saw that our conversations turned very sour as she talked about her trauma with her family the entire time. Not a good first look, so we eventually unmatched. I left hinge and after a month I got back on it just to see. There in my likes, I found my current boyfriend. We chatted the first day I returned his like with a ‘hi’ and by the next day, we began chatting on WhatsApp. After 5 days of talking, we met up and we hit it off insanely well. We’re so similar in the core aspects and have enough differences where we’re always learning about each other. After about 2-3 weeks, we began officially dating (and deleted hinge off our phones!) and now it’s been 7 months. I genuinely want to marry this man and he does too. Hinge helped me find my soulmate that was more near me than I expected. One I would have never met on my own, out and about, as neither of us like going out as much. I am truly grateful for this app as it has given me the best relationship I have ever been on. Genuinely give it a try and DON’T GIVE UP. You may find your soulmate too

The app is professional and easy to use. The prompts are so cool and the algorithm finds exactly the matches I’m interested dating. The issue as usual is the matches not even talk when they like first and barely talk when a conversation is initiated which makes no sense, most will unmatch out of nowhere, and the lack of communication leads to pointless conversations and not actually meeting up. For us who are looking for more than an ego boost we want more substance. If you can promote profiles to drive them to make an effort and use the app for dating for more in person instead of a bunch of matches who just want to talk it would be more of a success. No one really wants to just have a conversation and get blown off so for those who do they don’t need to be on the app. It’s a waste of time for us who take it seriously. If you can market on the app a way to show profiles that of course the right person to actually meet up and use the app the way it’s supposed to then it’ll make people take it seriously as they should. It overall is one of my favorite dating apps. I get a lot of matches and I’m tired of them not really talking and barely putting in an effort to make more of a connection when they usually make the first like to me. Thank you Hinge and I appreciate what you guys keep doing!

Hinge is my favorite dating up, but it is far from perfect. It allows you to instantly see users that like you and you can match them back without using any of your limited likes per day. That’s literally what sets apart Hinge from the other apps. Sad part is, the compatible tab in the “home” screen is not rlly compatible. The app will keep telling you to like other users so it can learn about your type, but the compatible tab never really shows compatible people. The real compatible people are on the standouts screen. They all look similar and with similar hobbies and interests. The app does know your type, but these users won’t ever appear in the compatible tab in the home screen. They will only appear in the standouts which, unsurprisingly yet very disappointingly, is a paid feature. For you to have a change to match anyone (ppl of ur type that u’re definitely more inclined to be interested in), you can “superlike” them but only once a week. So the way they advertise the app “made to uninstall” is rlly just another meh attempt. I understand they need to make money somehow (cuz you can pay to make more superlikes) but I’d rather have to watch ads every couple of minutes than having to wait an entire week for a CHANCE to speak to a person that is compatible to me.
