not happy about the fees; I paid a small fee to be able to go back on a profile I accidentally swiped away on, believing that paying for the upgrade would allow me to see my likes, too. Nope that was an extra $60. So, I just lost $20 for no good reason and there are no refunds allowed. So apparently you pay little fees here and there and not all fees unlock parts of the app, but that part isn't made clear til its too late. Honestly, some purchasing transparency would be nice.

Scammy App vibes, not a lot of communication. The sliding features for distance do not work. It's totally a bunch of fake profiles, and you are not able to see your likes. You have to pay to message, when you do, you can not view that. The filter options do not work at all. It was 30$ for the elite, and it changed nothing about the functions of the app. The boosts do not work. Very Scammy, dnt recommended.

sorry I want to love this app but its misleading and super expensive. I unlocked 3 of my likes for $8, my preferences were set to 18-25 but it picked the ones it wanted to unlock for me and they were all 45 and 50 years old. it seemed like id get to pick but it didnt let me. I paid for messages but i dont think they go through, they probably have to pay to respond. Every single little thing costs more money to use, and when you pay its not what you think, you end up having to pay again.

4 different things you would need to pay for. Says Christian, yet allows same sex dating connections. Swiping filters dont actually work. You will constantly be given the same 100ish profiles to swipe on. I've swipped no on the same profile 4 times in just 3 minutes. Yes, on a separate one three times in the same time frame. Advertising is constantly shoved in your face. Even if you pay, there is 2 more levels to pay for. Bad review -> Deleted profile.

Not a fan. I constantly experience glitches with the app. Full profiles don't show up, messages disappear. The preferences don't seem to work. I keep getting highlights for people over 60 miles away, some as much as 650 to date. If someone sends you a note, you should be able to respond without purchasing a subscription. I do think the ability to message once a mutual like is established is a good feature.

Full of scammer’s, super expensive. They trick you into subscribing to their lowest level offering you a deal, just for you to find out that all it lets you do is have more like, not see who likes you. When you do match with someone, they turn out to be some scammer who has recreated someone else's profile. I've had 3 different profiles like mine all to be the "same girl" with the same picture and bios. 0/10 rating.

I don't know what happened to this app. It used to be so much better. At first, everything was fine, but after maybe 20 or 30 profiles in my area, every profile shown to me since has been over 100 MILES away! Most of them are 200 or 250 miles away. Some are even up to 750! Whatever garbage algorithm they have seems to be on purpose to keep people from actually meeting and to get people to pay as much as possible for little results. What is even the point of the distance filter?

horrible app. I signed up last night, paid for the lower tier trial 3 months, since signing up I cannot log in. I continue to receive notifications of matches and messages but when I try to see, I keep getting a message saying oops that didn't go as planned. This is very ungodly and I actually want my money back. this was just a waste of time on my part when I actually saw some guys I was very interested in. I will be contacting developers and reporting the app as fraud.

The app is very buggy. It will send likes sometimes when I'm touching nowhere near those buttons. It also has other bugs that I haven't been able to verify such as multiple logins and removing/unmatching without me selecting it. also, you need to pay $$ for just about everything. Which is very annoying. I get that something needs to cost, but they make nearly every little thing cost.

I had some adware come up on my phone after downloading a couple of apps at the same time. I deleted those apps, and that went away. This was one of the apps. I deleted them quickly. one by one, redownloaded them with several days in between. When I downloaded this app last night and plugged my phone in after, the intrusive adware was back. Also, the packages you pay for are very misleading for what they allow you to do when purchasing one. You constantly have to keep purchasing things.

The app is constantly glitching. Sometimes profiles don't even fully load and messages disappear only to reappear (after restarting the app several times). I paid for a month... but apparently need to pay more just to have my preferences be applied to my search. Sending me people that are 200+ miles away... The app creators need to do better on so many levels! I've canceled my subscription and when my paid time is up I will be deleting my profile! Don't even waste your time with this app.

so it seems everybody is real on there, so that's not a problem. but there's a few problems with this. upward will send notification after notification giving you nonsense, like most dating apps it's just trying to get you by the preview package, but even more frustrating is that it does not follow The settings you put in. I put in 50 mi from my location and after a few local accounts, It gives me nothing but accounts from 100 to 350 mi away. The concept of upward is nice, but it's not good.

Created a profile, swiped on about 20, got a message that said I was banned and to contact customer service. There is no option to contact customer service. Later I attempted to log in and would get an error 3 times in a row then asked to enter the code sent to my phone. There was no code sent for me to enter. When I tap on I didn't get a code I'm taken back to enter my phone number and I just keep going in circles. Waste of time. I can't even delete this app. Feels like a scam to add profiles.

Update. Thought I would give it another try. paid for a subscription more exoensive than other sites. Have had difficulty. The distances were not accurate. still did not allow to add location so you do not know where people live. When you travel, it updates your location to where you are. Most contacts are over 100 miles. I have not received one response. This app does not allow for me to contact the site for questions. It also does not allow for me to cancel or not renew my subscription.

I love the idea but.... somethings are lacking. Ethnicity filter. The body of Christ should never be divided, but we like what we like. 😒. Distance setting is just not right. About me section when I go to edit WHY must I use my cursor to read a paragraph in a single sentence line. Makes me not want to fill it out. I feel as though the creators did the best with other apps and gave us the rest. Left over scraps. unfortunately it's not an app I would pay for. Until so changes happen.

Currently it is not allowing me to reply to people I have been talking with?? limited space for profile information. Get way too many very young men which means the filters are not working even when adding it to profile. as others are mentioning fakes and the distance thing is annoying few local so many over 1000 miles and when I travel get interests not in my area so can't properly vet potential profiles. I have to ask them where they live 1st. rethinking my membership.

⚠️ Caution: Be Careful With This App (Upward) I do not recommend this app. Almost everything is a charge. You have to pay to send messages, pay to see more photos, and pay for basic features that should already be included. What’s worse is that after filling out my profile, the app changed my preferences to things I did NOT choose. It feels misleading and frustrating. You sign up thinking you’ll be able to communicate and connect, but quickly realize you’re blocked unless you keep paying. This s

The app is buggy, and it is missing many features. You can't interact with your likes after you like your profile unless they like you. And the app is very pay to get noticed. Furthermore, it's difficult to cancel and delete the account. The instructions they provided did not coincide with the settings I had access to.

This app is truly terrible for a number of reasons: Even if you have a stellar profile the only way you will ever match with someone is if one or both of the parties actually PAYS to see who liked them in order to get a match. The other major concern was when I had a 50 mile radius set I was getting likes from people that were up to 350 miles away! This app is purely pay to play but still not worth it. Tried it. Deleting it.

Preferences and location settings mean nothing. Seeing men 300 miles away and outside of the ages I requested is about all I got. It was very misleading to subscribe to premium for $24/3 months.. I did not unlock much of anything outside of the free version. Pretty much just the 'go back' button on the swipe feature. I would have to upgrade again for elite for a total of $59.99. This is a 100% deceptive app.
