I'm a big fan of this app. Great interface and features - I've recommended it for all my friends already from day 1! Reading some of the other reviews, I don't see a need for a religion filter like everyone is saying. It's funny how everyone wants that filter because of "how a deal breaker religion is for some people, but not me though". Might be better to recommend features for YOURSELF, and not other people that might need it lol Baklava CEO: Keep up the great work!
The concept of the app is great, but there are several flaws that need to be fixed. One, there should be a filter for religions. I’m not picky but some people are super picky when it comes to the other persons religion. Wish we could tolerate that but what can you do? Next, the people on this app are super far away from you, which doesn’t make sense. I’d think anyone who is dating would rather prefer to chat and meet someone that is local or at least no more than an hour away from them. Finally, it seems like there are many inactive and fake profiles. The app needs to find a way to rid of these inactive accounts and fake profiles. I’ve had a hard time chatting or matching with anyone on this app. I have a higher chance of matching on Bumble and Hinge, than on here.
It’s an okay app so far. It took some getting used to, but I like it. I’ve made a bunch of new connections but there are some small things that can be improved on. I feel like the biggest one would be the religion feature. It shouldn’t matter - but in our culture it 99.9% of the time does. In your profile up can select your religion from a small menu of options if you’d like, however there is no option to filter by religion when you’re going through. Also - there is no “Druze” option to select in the religion menu, which was a HUGE disappointment for me. I am just “other” lol. Like I said, it shouldn’t matter, but it kinda does. Hoping to see some improvements on this soon!
As the title says, except that they added last seen with matches. I hate to say this but it doesn’t give slow people who need to think before they speak a chance to respond! Also, I think there is some sort of bug where all my likes are stuck with all the people who liked me the last couple of years.
I like the app, I like the interface. I don’t mind that it shows people from all over the country (there’s not that many Arabs! Let’s be real!). But I do wish there was a filter for “how important is religion to you?” Because for me, I don’t mind being in a mixed faith relationship. But that is a serious dealbreaker for many people! If you can select that you’re looking for serious connections and marriage, then why bother showing profiles that are basically incompatible? But a good app overall.
I really enjoy this app. It’s easy to use and it’s nice to have a place where I have people to relate to culturally. The only reason it got 3 star review is because of 2 reasons… 1) distance. I have my preference set to someone close by but majority of my suggested matches are in completely different areas thousands of miles away! What am I supposed to do with that? 2)other preferences such as religious beliefs. For some reason it’s always suggesting way outside of what I’m look for, which can be frustrating. If there’s a way to get preferences to be more precise, this app would for sure get 5star!
I love how they captured the idiosyncrasies of our culture…very unique. However, a few things that need improvement. 1) I can be friends with anyone, but when it comes to a mate, people should have the option to filter on religion. 2) people need to be able to search by distance and specify where they live. If I live in Florida and I happen to be visiting someone in New York, it’s showing me people relative to where I’m located at the time. I could end up missing out on a great match if we’re both traveling if we both live in the same area but happen to be traveling at opposite ends of the country. 3) When you reject someone’s profile, it never gets removed from your search results, I keep getting the same profiles that I’ve said “no” to over and over again. 4) There’s no option to filter anyone, based on whether they have (or want) children.
Has potential, but a lot of bugs on the explore tab. If you like someone in ‘nearby’, for example, it doesn’t go through. Just glitches and starts over.
I like this app but i wish there was a way to filter your search by religion. All arabs know how hard it is to mix religions when it comes to relationships lol. Furthermore, i was a little disappointed that there was no option to select “Druze” as a religion which is kind of expected from a arab dating app. Also even after the update, the app still crashes for me and i keep getting the same likes popping up even after clearing them.
1) after every day, i keep getting recommended profiles that ive already tried to match with or that i tried to dismiss, needs to be fixed ASAP 2) i’m not getting notified of matches, only get notified when i have recharged likes 3) The “Most Eligible” tab is complete lies. religion doesn’t match, they live like 1,000 miles away, etc. fix this app has very good potential, especially for the arab christians since they don’t have their own app like arab muslims do. Please listen to all the feedback provided. thank you.
This app, like many others pull data from IG and create fake profiles (mostly women) to promote subscribing to view likes. They recently added verified option but still doesn’t help. I’ve also noticed when I pay for a subscriptions I start getting likes/views but as soon as the subscription expires I get 0 likes and views. I assume this is to promote subscriptions. This app doesn’t work, it’s the same people on here goofing off.
Quite honestly where do I start. The idea behind the app is great but there are major improvements needed: 1) be cautious how you spend your money on the boosts. There’s no real indication of what it does or notification for how long it’s working/what it does for the user. Seems like a money pit 2) no one knows where anyone else is located. You could set the distance range to 50 miles and match with people overseas.
This app has done a great job in building a community of young Arabs around the world who are looking to create meaningful relationships with other likeminded Arabs. It’s clear the people behind the app in a designing a very pleasant experience and brand. Good job!
1. The distance feature needs to be fixed. - I have my settings on the nearest possible, yes I’m still seeing people who are 500+ miles away. 2. Religion filter is needed. -yah I saw some reviews of those who don’t care what religion they match with. But that should still be an option for those who do care.
Really need to be able to filter out Religion. Also, need to be able to set a target distance range. I’m tired of matching with people hundreds of miles away 😂 and if there aren’t any left then jus simply make the user wait
It’s nice to see a platform even allow very specific cultural communities to find same sex matches—let alone have many users to connect with! Impressed.
Great app to meet people, user friendly interface, and it’s becoming more popular. It would get 5 stars but they have too few filters, especially a religion one. Hoping to get that added in soon
don't waste your time. it's totally useless. plenty of profiles but god knows what's real and what's fake. also their matching algorithm is a joke. to top it off the app constantly shows you profiles of people in another state even if you're in a major city like Chicago with plenty of Arabs in the area. I have met people on other dating apps so I'm pretty confident the issue has nothing to do with my profile etc
Finally a way to network with locals with similar backgrounds! Beyond happy with how simple the app is to use and the amount of people I’ve been meeting. Can’t wait to find future wifey 🙌🏽🙌🏽
1. When viewing another persons profile you can’t scroll to see all their pictures. Profile has no option to include a bio. Just prompted answers 2. No distance setting - so anyone in America can potentially see your profile and match you. There is no option to put in the profile which city you are in 3. A religion dealbreaker would be a nice add on
The app is great and everything. However, I wish there was a filter option to only see specific people. For example, if I only want to see Christians, Muslim, etc.
Nice app that’s specific to Arabs looking for a relationship but the apps needs a better way to filter for distance. It’s not very clear where the profile users are located and many are looking for matches nearby
I want to thank everyone at Baklava team for helping me find my first Bosnian friend. She’s sweet and good listener, I chewed her ears off on the first date! Of course she had headache but she didn’t complain.
I really love the app. I just really wished that there was an option in the search part about the religion, something will really help! but other than this great app 😊😊
I feel like there’s a glitch with the matching. The past three people I’ve matched with aren’t showing up anymore, and it was after I got a different social media like their snap or insta. Not sure what’s going on
I’m super into this concept and it’s a huge strive for the community but there is lots of work to be done on this app -It crashes from time to time -The interface is clunky and it’s not a super smooth process to like/skip a profile (such as on tinder or bumble) -There should be distinct groups for dating, marriage, and relationships but it looks like profiles are all mixed up and it’s up to the user to see in the persons profile what they’re looking for -glitches with profile pictures of people you’re messaging -glitches in keyboard for messaging (send button disappears)
This app is a joke and doesn’t let you filter for just Muslims and an overwhelming majority of the profiles are either fake, serial daters, or not looking for something serious. I understand it can frustrating swiping through salams as it’s a mixed bag, and it’s also hit or miss, but baklava is a complete miss and joke. I wouldn’t take anyone on it seriously.
It’s a working app but never found any luck with it. Some fake profiles on there but it’s whatever. Tried the paid subscription as well and still no luck
I sent an email regarding my account and was told it would take one business day to respond. It has been three business days and I have not been able to get any feedback. I sent three emails and nothing. I can’t get into my account and I pay for my subscription. My money is going to waste.
The application is designed for females. There should be balance. I think more governance and processes should be introduced to limit abusive behavior and ghosting. Prompts are poorly designed and written. The quality of people in the application are very poor. I don’t recommend wasting your time inside.
The app needs a few upgrades and options. One being that not all Arabs are the same religion.. It should allow you to choose religious views or if someone is divorced/widowed and wants to find someone who is in the same boat etc.
For this app to be taken seriously and not be just some dopamine hit, they need to add filters for religion. Otherwise we’re stuck scrolling through people we find attractive but would never commit to.
It doesn’t seem to have any actual interactions. Paid tier offers few benefits and needs upgrading in that category. Fake profiles, “influencers,” and immature prompts stop the app from being a serious platform. Suitable for a 18-year-old freshmen in college, not adults with responsibilities.
Terrible dating app. I can’t even open the app. As soon as I tap on the app, it closes itself. Now I can’t even delete my account because of that. Prior to this issue, every time I liked someone, the app crashed and closed itself. Not recommended at all.
Good, but filled with TONS of non-arabs. As someone who has finally found an arab space… it’s disappointing to see it invaded by countless non-arabs fetishizing arab women. I’m reporting them because it’s annoying LOL
This app is full of narcissistic f boys who will just try to insult you if you are a woman with a career or values. They are a bunch of cheap guys that are just looking for a woman to abuse and use as a slave for their own pleasures. If you are a strong woman and don’t give a chance for this, they try to hurt you and bully you. Stay away from this app.
Stay away from this sad excuse of a dating app, you only get 6 swipes you can’t choose preferences in a significant other. It’s difficult to match with your own religion. I want that flexibility to match only with Muslims not with Christians and Catholics and atheists or no religious people.
It’s a nice app don’t get me wrong, they just need a filter that filters out the miles. I’m seeing people who are 100’s and 1000’s of miles away. Add that filter and we are golden
I make the the account and take a look at my profile to review reorder my photos and then boom I’m banned. Didn’t get a chance to even swipe or look around lol so 1 star for spending 20 minutes setting up a profile
No matter what you put in the settings , It shows you nothing but people that are 60 to 100 miles away. I've never matched with anyone or even seen another profile.. everyone is out of state.
I have used it for a long time, abd did not have any interactions with or response from the likes. It seems the app mainly to take your money with the expensive subscription.
90% fake profiles To the Dev reply: As a dev I can tell that is not true. If anything, you are using fake profiles as a marketing strategy to creat the illusion of users on your app. You can easily implement verification methods but I have a feeling you know where these fake profiles are coming from.
