Stir - Single Parent Dating

I really enjoy Stir, love the kind of people that are on here. Membership is a bit pricey, for me smoking is an absolute dealbreaker, so I don’t know why I cannot screen out profiles for things like that. They need to improve the users control over what they see. I spent several minutes reading and looking at pictures and then realize I missed the smoking thing again. Similar options should exist for drinking 420 etc. And the parenting questions are confusing personally people, I see profiles with ladies in their late 40s saying they definitely want more kids. They way they ask you the questions and the options they give you are confusing and then what they say to other people your answer is not worded at all like what you selected. Needs work there as well. Overall I like the app, enough that I got the membership even at this price, but 4 stars because of too much time looking at people I am not at all interested in, not really being able to trust what is says about whether someone wants kids (as in do they want to meet someone who has kids, do they want to adopt with someone, or do they want to give birth to children) I mean, the central theme in this app is we are people who have kids so how is it that did not get done more carefully? Love some of the people I am seeing on here, they just seem more real and human than other dating apps.

Hi, I have been using this app and the interface is nice. It’s very close to match which I found easy to use. I feel as a single parent it’s missing some vital info. 1. You need to be able to put your religion. For most people with children that’s important to find someone with similar values and beliefs. 2. The ability to filter your preferences by religion and race. I myself am an equal opportunity employer but, not everyone is. 3. You should also be able to put your political beliefs. 4. You should be able to list how many kids you have and their ages. 5. Level of Education should also be included in the profile. Not sure if that needs to be in the filter option , but, race, religion, and political views should be. I’m surprised this app doesn’t inclue these things when Match does. Single Parents are way more picky about that stuff. We aren’t only searching for a potential partner for ourselves but a partner that will be a good example to our kids as well.

I downloaded this app because I liked the idea that Ianyone I met would already know that I had children and to meet other single parents. Herein lies the problems, if you navigate away from writing your profile or sending a message to someone, you lose it. Well you can message mutual matches for free, we can’t see who likes you to know if it’s a mutual match; so it’s basically a gamble if you happen to stumble across each other‘s profiles and like one another. You can’t review profiles that you’ve liked, and can’t even review your mutual matches. I got a notification of him he’s full match, started to write had to stop, lost the message and now I can’t write to them anymore. Single parents are busy! We’re not always going to have time to write a profile in one sitting or send a message to somebody in one sitting. I understand that this is “a premium service“ $120 all at once for six months is not necessarily in everyone’s budget. Maybe offer at 7 or 14 day free trial to see if we want to pay for those features. Overall I’m really frustrated and highly considering deleting.

This app functions basically like Tinder, but what’s odd is it the women on here don’t seem to take good pictures or they don’t care about what they look like. I don’t get it if you’re trying to get back into the dating world you want to put your best foot forward wear make up take full body pictures and have pictures of activities that you like to do.. marketing yourself isn’t rocket science. Trying to look your best online isn’t difficult. Spend 100 bucks. Go learn how to put make up on go do an activity you like to do have someone like a friend take pictures of you.

I literally had the app for one hour before they terminated my account. I got my profile information filled out, I scrolled through a few profiles and added a couple hearts to the ones I liked, and then I went to bed. I was on there for all of maybe 20 minutes. By the next morning when I woke up, I had been logged out, and when I tried to log back in, it wouldn’t let me even though the password was saved, so I hit forgot password, and when I tried to reset my password, it gave me a big red notice telling me that my account has been banned. For what being too ugly? Because I can’t think of anything else I did wrong. I didn’t even have an opportunity to speak to anyone or post more than one profile picture. when I contacted Customer Support, they said that based on their terms of use, they terminated my account because I violated them, but then did not tell me what term of you allegedly violated by signing up for the app and looking at a few peoples pictures and doing absolutely nothing else. don’t waste your time and dang sure don’t give these people your money, what. I’ll stick to the good old-fashioned in person.

I paid the 20 USD to get the full app experience for a week - and if it accomplished anything it is not wanting to find new love in my life. Like so many said in previous reviews as a single parent this app is a bit pricey. My matches were looking for anything but a relationship. I have collectively never met worse guys than on this app. Something is completely wrong on their selection algorithm which should be more than just age, location and kids. You are very limited on how much information you can provide on your profile, or how interests are matched up, and pictures are not verified as compared to other apps. You match because of the picture you like, pretty much like selecting a meal on a restaurant menu. Guys are looking for (bleep) and definitely not for a long term partner/friendship. I have received explicit pictures and messages from pretty much anyone I had more than a two minute conversation with. There is a way to report users, but sometimes it was like a car crash, so bad you couldn’t look away. There is a way to delete your profile - thank goodness. 6 days later and I am done for good.

First of all, great idea. You can brows for free and even match and chat. For the other features you have to pay a hefty price for such a simple app. Day one already matched with some cool people and have been chatting it up, all good stuff there. The users seem real. What I don't like is again the price. Also why is there a daily limit on how many people you can see? That is the dumbest “feature ever” even paying the premium, it’s still there. On to of that, the app glitches and keeps showing me the same people over and over making it so that I see even less posible matches. It’s so frustrating. Lat thing that bugs me is that when you are looking at a profile, at the bottom it has similar matches. When you click those, you cant message or like them. So lame! Please fix the app! Also there is no real algorithm for matching other than age, location, and basic preferences. I would be happy to keep paying if all of these were fixed.

I paid $30 for the premium package (which I’m under the impression it covers most if not all the perks, it’s premium !) boy was wrong the minute they withdrew the $30 they wanted to charge me for extra super likes before I even used one super like that I just paid for then they wanted to charge me just to be replied to …YES YOU HEARD CORRECT. In the Case that I like or send a message to someone who does not have a premium account. They offered a fee for that, like why would I have to pay for that! I think it’s ridiculous, they got me on the first $30 (in to the company I’m sure that’s all that matters they just need us to subscribe even if it’s once they just need us to purchase a premium package even if it’s just for one month and I gave them just that I would advise you not to do so. I just canceled my prescription so 30 days from now I will not be charged again. If we’re paying for premium, we should have access access to most if not all the perks otherwise what are we really paying for? And the one time I do decide to pay on a dating app it would be one that seems to be a rip off.

It could very well be a reflection of my area. While the selection is extensive, it predominantly consists of individuals with a similar profile—like having the same shirt in different colors. The steep fee to view matches or communicate with them feels like a money grab. As parents, our lives revolve around our children, which is reflected in our profiles. We appreciate connecting on parent-related topics, but this focus leaves little room for sharing more about ourselves, our interests, and what else makes us unique. Our lives are centered around our children, but they are not the only thing that defines us. After all before we were parents we were individuals, every moment decided and dedicated to our womb fruit, it would nice to decide not only off how we raise our children but who we are besides parents. They’re feeding into the “we’re only just parents” which yes is a major component and base for our life’s our reasons to breathe, work and push through, selfless act but we aren’t just parents we are people

I registered, provided my pictures and other personal information that they asked for, and when I tried to log in the next day, I received an error message that access to my account was blocked by the admins. I reached out to customer support only to receive the below email. “Please know that due to our Terms of Use, your Stir account has been terminated. We believe this action to be in the best interests of our member community. Any new accounts created will be subject to review and will be immediately terminated.” No explanation, no reason why it was terminated and why any new account that I would create (which I definitely won’t after this) would be terminated! I am a legitimate single mom and I provided my own information and pictures. When I demanded an explanation and for my personal information to be deleted from their servers, they said “Due to our privacy practices, we cannot disclose specifics about any Match account, including your own.” I’m very frustrated and DO NOT RECOMMEND this app to anyone, unless you want your personal information stolen.

This app didn’t really work for me for multiple reasons, but at this point I don’t care about how functional the app is. When I used the app, it was always trying to find ways to get me to pay MORE to get more content or to see more matches. I just kind of let it go and forgot about it. Well, I woke up this morning with a $40 subscription fee for an app that I don’t even use. You’d think if an app is already collecting so much money, that they wouldn’t try to up sell you every time you open the app. $40 down the drain for something I don’t even use. I canceled my subscription, but again, y’all keep trying to upsell people who, apparently, already have $40 subscriptions. This app is genuinely not worth that much money. Put your money towards human contact. This was honestly my first experience on a dating app, and I probably won’t ever use these things again. Plus all the personal information this app has access to? I think this is the first time I regret downloading an app. I never write reviews, but this app deserved one.

Take the least amount of value you can think of for your money without actually getting robbed. That is Stir. There is not nearly the amount of users as the other platforms such as Match for example (stir is owned by Match) so expect to be offered “matches” 1-2 hours away regardless of the criteria. On a dating app specifically designed for single parents. Expect to be “matched” with people you’ve already chosen to be not a match, 24 hours later and multiple times going forward. Expect to have no possibility of a refund. Expect to have no possibility of using your membership on a different site owned by Match whether it be an option within the app or via a credit for dissatisfaction. This is a great idea in theory with the poorest execution possible. Anyone who’s ever been a single parent knows you either cannot permanently leave the State if you “match” with someone long distance nor would most single parents even be able to do so logistically. Total waste of time and money.

I downloaded this and paid for the subscription. I don’t get matched with anyone even though I fiddle with the parameters and can’t choose to look at any other profiles except the ones suggested once a day. There is no options on height or what they are looking for or they will be super far away outside of state in the suggested even though I didn’t choose outside of 90 miles. I tried to cancel from beginning but when I found out how bad it was. The won’t let you cancel or refund and keep taking money. If you click help it takes you to their website of a blank page. I tried through phone, pc and tablet. Please people don’t pay or stay away from it. I hope I save some of you. #1 I’m a single parent I thought maybe this would help. I rather date someone who knows what it’s like. Money is tight sometimes and yet you know I thought I made a good investment into trying to find someone with this. Just taking money from people and not giving a care.

This platform is a joke as well as all of matches platforms. They close my accounts because they said they can’t allow people who are under 18 to use their platforms yet I’m 46 years old and they’ve had no problem with me using it for the past year and all they do is have fake profiles and a bunch of men from areas like Ghana and Nigeria, pretending to be women to try in scam you out of money…….it’s a joke and they don’t even give you the opportunity to dispute it they just close it so take you platform full of fake profiles and scam artist and shove it where the sun don’t shine….. But thank you for helping me realize that somebody needs to develop a platform that helps promote connections not putting them at risk to get ripped off or have their identity stolen. Your crappy platforms and your business practices are a thing of the past. It’s time for you to move over and and stop being the roadblock for people to find love, it’s not always about money.

The users are questionable, so to find a decent match is difficult. You get new “daily picks” sent to your email. So imagine my surprise when I finally come across a couple of users that I am interested in, then not being able to view them. I have not been able to see any of the users sent in my daily picks, selecting a profile takes me to view other users to swipe or match…but not any of the 24 daily picks. I contacted customer service and have gone back and forth w/ 5 different people who refused to read my issue, instead they gave the same response of “some times users meet someone and delete their accounts” or telling me to clear my cache, though I have stated in my emails I have done all the typical trouble shooting. So either their site is buggy and they don’t know how to fix it or they’re sending fake/deleted profiles to force engagement knowingly. I already paid for this sham for 6 months….only 4 months to go 🙄

Lots of responses here from the developers claiming they’ve listened and fixed problems. But if they have, I’m not seeing it. After uploading pictures, filling out bio, answering prompts, etc, all likes are blurred out. I have a few messages this morning and only ONE shows the photo and allows me to see what he wrote. And it’s not someone I ‘liked’ so I’m pretty confused as it’s not a match. If I tap the other messages it takes me to the pay options, all of which are spendy. I can’t even see what they wrote sans photo. I can’t tell if this app is worth it from what little they show you on the stripped down ‘free’ side, so I’m certainly not going to lock myself into an expensive subscription. Also, screening is nil. Tons of guys without kids. When I x-out someone the app shows them to me again. I also have no idea what the star icon or lightning icon means and can’t find any explanation anywhere. This was a hood idea, but poorly executed.

I had install the app after getting the ad on instagram, after filing entire set of questions and comments I did sign up, later part of the day it logged me out and once I try to login, it says Stir has blocked my account. I did raise the ticket but they send me faq page and ask me to read all the reasons which can make the account deactivated , still waiting for the specific reason for them to deactivate my account, I don’t trust them with all my love and info that I put it out on app while signing up. I need to erase my data from there. It’s not right to barred me from my PI data. Updated review —- They said to connect with the team , which is did and I have not received any reply, I don’t want to register again , what I need to remove my personal data from the app and provide me the confirmation, it’s very disconcerting and bad to know after I have put so much info I can’t control the access of it .

This is my first time using a dating app. And being a single dad I thought this would be perfect. I was wrong. First of all I had the choice of paying $60 for 3 months or $60 for 6 months. Ok? Not much of a choice there. Went for the 6 months. Then there are add ons. Pay another $60 to message women with free accounts. Pay 10-50 dollars for super likes. Pay extra to be placed as the “top pick”. At the risk of sounding shallow, the ratio of attractive women to non is staggeringly low. Met three attractive women who were in rehab. Went out on a date with a “top pick” who was definitely not. Went out on another date, after two weeks of talking, only to find out she likes dating multiple men. This was definitely a bad first experience for me and has only shown me that this new digital age of dating is not for me. After a little over a month of using this I hid my a profile and will be deleting this app.

They delete my review! Quit deleting my review. This app is just as bad as Match dating app if not worse. They do not have preference filters other than distance and age. You have to constantly sift through individuals who are majority of African American or Spanish. There is no way to set race preferences. They also have trans profiles. When I am a woman seeking a man; don’t show me men dressed up as women! Also most profiles are incomplete, inappropriate with photos that need to be reported such as privates, masks from Covid - Covid is over; fake users, or out of state. It doesn’t matter if you set your distance preferences to 40 miles they will still show you out of state profiles. This app isn’t worthy of paying a penny. Another garbage app brought to by Match Group. You spend more time “X”ing profiles than you do liking. Stop deleting my review! No woman wants to see di$$ pics.

I would NEVER pay $40 for a month to simply pass on people.. and without even being able to see what’s out there first. The app is set up exactly like hinge BUT SO MUCH WORSE. I’m sorry but showing me only two messages from people who are bottom of the barrel pickings with trash profiles isn’t going to peak my interest to go premium. ESPECIALLY not for that price. Not even a 7 day trial or anything to give anyone time to feel out the app. That’s how you know the app is trash. I set up a profile then go to bed, wake up to a “you’re so popular” message saying I have x amount of likes and messages. Like hinge they show a couple of the messages and the rest are blurred, unlike hinge you don’t get to see more as you skip.. the two is all you get. I didn’t even browse or get the change to like anyone myself so I have no idea what that half is like because profile and app deleted after 8 hours. THIS APP ISNT IT. WASTE OF TIME.

They’ll set you up with people that match your interest but they’ll almost always be an hour or more away. The reason I’m writing this review is I am an attractive guy and do get a lot of likes but there always super far from where I live. My job is in the technical field that has me traveling all over central fl. I notice I get more likes in the general area of where I live when I’m an hour or so from my house working but when I’m home I never seem to have an option or get a like from people in my area, it uses your location against you. The app is good to keep your attention but not fulfill normal peoples needs in the dating industry. I’ve met a few people on here and it works for me but only because they haven’t adapted there algorithms for someone in my profession. Would definitely recommend a different app if you wanna meet someone local.

Horrible app! They are still trying to bill me for a subscription and steal money after i did not renew it. I wish I would’ve read the reviews before downloading. I have no clue how an app like this could surpass 4 stars. Any good review is either FAKE or from years ago!! You have to pay a high price for subscription. You have to be subscribed to match or talk to anyone. Unattractive men. Tons of in app glitches. Complete waste of money. There are so many better dating platforms and you will find other parents on there as well as good quality people that will still be with you regardless if you have a kid. This app has one of the highest priced subscription rated and the lowest quality of technology. They have to nickel and dime people for so called “premium features” because people will be deleting shortly after and not for a good reason. I wish I could get a refund.

The messaging is spotty and flashes on and off. Several members complained about this to me. They also discriminate and censor against anyone who doesn’t hold progressive views and/or mentions God in their profile. Overall, pretty low preforming app in terms of functionality. The dating app Hinge works much more efficiently and effectively without issues of censoring. Also, the app does a TERRIBLE job at their selection and will randomly assign you people who live 2 counties over even after I adjusted the mileage. These were the worst possible matches I’ve ever encountered on any dating app and I live in a pretty heavily populated area that has a lot of young professional singles. The selection was the bottom of the barrel for sure. Luckily I never paid the fee. Why pay $20/$50/$100 but Hinge has a free option that works fantastically? Don’t waste your time or money on this app.

The basic use of the app is ok, I like the concept as a solo parent. However, I do not understand why you can’t call or video chat in the app. In order to move past texting I have to give someone my personal information. And I don’t always like doing that right away. You can tell more by video/phone call and doing that through the app offers another level of security. The background check is cool but you have to make another account And it’s a whole other process. I’m really disappointed that you can video/call in the app, every other competitor like hinge or bumble offers that. It seems like a basic function so it’s huge miss on Stirrs part. Also there should be way more filtering options, categories like education, etc.

The platform glitches terribly. Likes that you’ve swiped left on reappear in your likes. When you X or swipe left on someone, it shows the next profile then quickly glitches and goes to a different one without you being able to review the profile. Your likes show on top of your intros and you have to exit the app, sometimes delete and download it again to get your likes and intros straight. There are creepy men with mom fetishes who are openly saying in their bio that their just looking to hook up with “mommies” and “mom doms” which completely removes the safety factor that is advertised for single parents on there. And I have to say, the men on there are the most unattractive men the city has to offer. I have never seen so many ugly people in one place. Single parents would have better luck on tinder.

I like the concept, but like most dating apps, they don’t want you to find your person because that will take away their income. As a result, the filtering is minimal at best. I wouldn’t mind paying for an app that is worth it. And hey, we are single parents so we don’t have time to read through countless profiles. Spar me by calling the app free unless you do in app purchases. You can see people on here and set up a profile, but nothing after that. You have to pay around $100 for 6 months just be able to read someone’s messages to you. So, unless you are just looking, don’t bother. I get that they want people to pay, but tell it like it is. I don’t even think you find out what the app costs until you fill out a profile. It is the app stores that could made this process better.

Not many people on this app in some locations. So some days when your picks come in it goes across states to bring you options. Which is fine for some but typically speaking if this is a parents based app and you have kids. You aren’t likely to relocate knowing there is a co-parent situation happening. If someone ends up in the daily “people for you” section and you say “no” they shouldn’t be able to keep liking your profile in return —and sending you multiple messages etc. The generic answers are annoying. “Here choose 4 answers that everyone will have on their profile.” “Netflix and snacking.” I guarantee 90% of people that have “life goal—retire early” is doing nothing to actually achieve that. It’s giving.. I’m not ready to put in the work. 🚩🚩 Pricey app. But understand that if you paying for it you really may be looking for someone. I respect the idea of this app but overall I don’t think I would login again until it’s has more traction. Fixed some bugs And delete the pre-loaded answers. We’re parents but that doesn’t mean we are lazy. Effort is attractive. Maybe lower the price for a while to get more people interested.

This app is really bad. There are standard questions that they ask you at the beginning but don’t give you a “back” option while setting up to quickly modify. They then pipe these into everyone’s profiles and they’re the least revealing/interesting questions I’ve ever seen. They tell me nothing about a person. But then they show up across all profiles and often that’s the only info people have up. There is no prompt to complete your open-ended profile piece. Further the people in the apps are barely even located in my area and I live in Brooklyn! Someone from Pennsylvania showed up in my swiping. They also all seem lowkey republican - one of the only dudes who was remotely handsome had an anti mask statement in his profile lol pass. They need to do some mega promotion of this app to expand the pool in nyc or it’ll never take off.

I love the idea of this dating app. It’s hard for single parents to date and meet. The app itself isn’t too good compared to other apps. They push the purchasing option on you too much. I’ll get a notification that someone messaged me or liked me and when I open the app it won’t let me see it unless I pay for subscription. Then after you match with someone and can message for free suddenly their profile will disappear and it will say user not found. I could still message the person but I couldn’t see their profile, luckily we both decided to talk off the app in fear we would lose each other on the app. The users on this app are much better than others so that’s a plus! They just need to work out the tech kinks.

I thought would be an okay app because at least everybody would have the same issues when it came to dating. The idea was spot on but the cost to get a membership is just to much. If this is a premium dating app why not just charge $40 to download. The thought of a single parent paying this much for a dating is crazy, we are SINGLE PARENTS!!! Which means some of us are raising kids on our own and to waste money on a “premium dating app” as it mentions in most of the reviews that mostly say the same thing about being to expensive and not being able to delete their profile completely, you would think changes would be made by now. To the developers, hire some single parents and then maybe you can get some real changes that can help make you app better. Good luck.

This app is a total waste of Time. I only wish I read the reviews FIRST. It asks you to pay $40 for 1 month and only then after 1 FREE chat you must pay to do all the same things other sites allow for free with better results. Single guys with NO kids are using this site for Parents ieA- People with kids ! This is the basic rennet of this site. The preferences are useless and poorly calibrated. Distance preference- for example is useless. I’m asking fir my ONE month back after 24 hours of use. Stay away from this. Business Model is stupid. Trap people for a month to get at least that upfront while delivering trash ticks people off and the cost- benefit analysis will not work in your favor because bad press will do this app in.

What type of idiot is designing these apps for Match group? The premise is that single parents want to meet other single parents. Why anybody would want to limit themselves only to this category of people is ridiculous…you’re ruling out at least 50 percent of the population. I’m a single parent and I’ve never dated another single parent. (Singles who don’t have kids are more than happy to date singles with kids.) I wish they didn’t wreck OkCupid because that was the only decent site/app left that had any substance to it. The only app that has decent guys on it now is Bumble. This app is going to fail because nobody wants to pay for such a limited population of people. And I don’t need an app to help me schedule dates. If two people can’t find a time where they can both meet, the mutual interest isn’t there. Useless app.

I’m not the type to use dating apps (or leave reviews lol) I’ve always thought a more natural way to meet people was ideal, but I liked the idea of it being for single parents considering my kids are So young and it was really hard for me to go out and meet people and it was nice people on here could relate. And I got insanely lucky and found the perfect man. It has been one year now and I’m extremely thankful he is in my life so I just wanted to leave a good review and show my appreciation ha because without this app I would have never met the love of my life❤️

The only benefit this app has over others is the option to filter out people who don’t have kids. But honestly, it’s not even much of a benefit… like at all. The esthetic of the app is not attractive. It looks like a website made to be viewed for a computer being viewed on a mobile, to me. The paragraphs appear cut off. Maybe I’m nit picking, but I spent $30 to try it for a couple months and still was asked to pay for extra features to make my profile visible. It’s all the same people you can find for free on Facebook dating or even better Bumble. I was on the app for maybe 2 weeks and on it had one person reach out all they asked was what my favorite position was… not even a “Hello”. I just deleted it. Basically threw away $30. Bumble is much better. Go to Bumble.

I though tinder was pricy! this one takes the cake. And if you put any of your other social media on your profile they will flag it. You can’t see matches unless you pay. Can send messages unless you pay. Pretty much you just have a profile for people to see you but that’s it unless you pay $40 a month or get a package deal. And be careful of the first few matches, they may or may not be bots trying to get you to pay. This happens with all these dating app that block your matches faces before you pay. Avoid unless you have the money to spend. Coming from a single dad. I rather spend my money on my kids and go to a bar and meet people the old fashion way

This website is dedicated to parents that are single. It is credibly hard to afford everything being a single parent, and having no one to rely on. I do believe in paying for things that are worthy. But it takes over a week of free trial to know if you really like something. It takes 21 days to set any new goal and I believe that it takes about 21 days to understand what you fully like and don’t like it would be cool if the prices were decreased and the trial period was longer. Especially because there’s so many free websites. But what Star has to offer about someone’s schedule is very important because as single parents you don’t have much time so that’s the first thing you try to aim for is someone that has the same schedule.

I as of today, made an account, for the first time ever on this app. As soon as I was done setting up. It asked if I wanted to do the premium. I said why not since this app looks promising let me do it. When I tell you not even 3 swipe in it logs me out and then says my account has been banned and to contact support. No explanation, I never went against ToS I mean how could I? I LITERALLY ONLY SWIPED THROUGH THREE PEOPLE. And now I am waiting on support to fix/ look into the issue however, reading previous reviews it’s looks unlikely I will get my money back that at this point blatantly stole from me by immediately banning me for no reason at all. I’m going to file a report with my bank and with apple for this fraudulent company. It’s shame since it looked promising.

I just signed up to pay for this app last night and I’m already having issues. I have three intros in my inbox and I can’t respond to any of them. If I go through the people who have liked me and try to swipe left on them, they remain on the list of people who have liked me. If I swipe right, it doesn’t do anything and just skips to the next person. I’ve tried to contact app support but it says that the webpage can’t be reached because the server is down. I checked to see if an update was available snd there’s nothing. So I literally can’t do anything to fix this. Extremely frustrating because this stuff isn’t cheap and yet, I can’t do anything with it.

I created an account, and while completing my profile I took a pause to finish later. Later I attempted to finish but was logged out of the app. I attempted to sign in and the password I created wasn’t working. My account was blocked and a message said to contact customer service for assistance. They were able to unblock my account. I finished my profile and I closed the app to come back to it later. A few hours later I open the app and I was prompted to sign in so I did only to have a message come up saying my account was blocked. I contacted customer service again only to be told due to “Terms of Use” my account was terminated. I’m not sure why as I had not actually used the app or make any matches. This app is very faulty and a gimmick.

To be honest, I had the worst experience with this app I downloaded it and I had it for literally three days on the second day I match with someone a text her and then the next day I hop back on the app to check in for my surprise it logged me out and I kept on trying to log back in and it just kept on saying that there was a problem so I contacted customer support and I waited for the response and all they could tell me is that my account was terminated because of privacy policy and I told him to give me an example how I broke their privacy policy and after that, they just ignore my emails and they left it at that and this was literally my first time downloading. This app I don’t recommend it. did anyone else have that problem?

I really dislike this platform for a few reasons. Whether subscribed or not, both options seem terrible. It's wrong that out of 631 likes and 41 messages I can't see all the messages instead only the 6 or whatever picked for me, even if I can only open 6 it should be 6 that I want. This is not a great platform for "exploring" the "pool" either. As something marketed to parents, it shouldn't be this difficult or expensive. It makes more sense to me to "pay for matches, super likes & to retrieve the messages-u know if u could see the profile of all ur messages then pay to accept those that appeal. I understand u need to make money but I feel like this app is all wrong!

I don’t see the point in an app doing an initial questionnaire to set matching parameters if they are not to be taken into account. My parameters were pretty clear and if I’m asked for those preferences, I imagine it’s because they will use that information to send people my way that are within those parameters. I submitted age range information and established a radius distance. These were just the most important ones for me. I constantly matched with people who were either way too young or much older than I had indicated. I was matched with people constantly that lived in a different state. TWICE I paid the hefty membership fee and I finally decided to delete the app. No good.

I downloaded it and began setting it up. Literally haven’t had a conversation with anyone on the app. Constantly matching but no conversation 😒 After I switched to using bumble it seems like it’s just not having any activity, I’m not receiving notifications I still match but upon sending messages never get any replies. The point of the app is to communicate and everyone on the app doesn’t seem to do that. Also the prices are stupidly high for the features. I think it’s insane to give the option of people without kids to be on the app. Yeah some people can be ok with dating people with kids but that’s not what this is about. It’s meeting other parents. Not single people.

Been on this app for over a month as a premium member and I have received one response from someone saying they didn’t enjoy the app, much less trust anyone. I have reached out to many people and I don’t even get a response. Before I joined premium, I was getting likes and now that I paid, nothing! I think most people on this app are free users that cannot respond without paying. This is why I was skeptical about joining. I should have listened to my gut feeling and not paid. After 6 months, it did not improve. A lot of non paying profiles so they can’t respond to liked or messages. My last day, I received all these likes and messages all of a sudden. I went to respond and it wanted me to resubscribe! Never Again!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt that I should leave one here because I have a few questions… for one thing; why is it outrageously expensive? It’s such a great concept and a wonderful idea, but it doesn’t make sense to have to spend nearly $100 on a premium. If you don’t subscribe, you don’t get to see your likes and you’re account is extremely limited? I can’t be the only one that feels cheated. I made the account a few days ago, but I’m already thinking about deleting it because it feels kind of like a scam. I would love to continue it but maybe when you guys lower your prices or make the premiums more affordable.

Total money grab: I got more “likes” in the month after I cancelled than I did in the 6 month membership I paid for. Obviously, these new likes are just to entice me to pay again, as the photos are blurred out and I can’t see what the messages say. On top of the price, they offer profiles geared toward you, supposedly, which, if you find one interesting enough, you have to use a special super like to let him/her know. They only give you 1 “free” super like per week to use, even with a premium membership. So bogus. I shouldn’t have wasted my money. Yahoo personals had the most replies, up until Match bought it and got rid of it…. The makers ought to be ashamed of themselves for nickel and diming people who just want to find someone.

I’m new at this, so maybe I’m naive. I purchased a 6 month subscription and soon after, met someone. I thought I was doing the right thing by deleting my profile after becoming exclusive. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out. I went back on the app thinking I could restore my purchase, much like other apps. Nope. It’s all a money seizing scheme, taking advantage of those looking for love. My email was still in their system when I went back on, but I wasn’t able to use the remaining time on my subscription. This goes for Match, Stir and all the Match group. Shame on you for being all about the money. **plus when I went back on Stir, I only saw people from Illinois…even though I live in Iowa. What a crock.

Very little functionality unless you pay an extremely high premium subscription fee. I paid $40 for 1 month just so that I could read messages that I received. I still couldn’t read the messages. In fact, not a single new feature was added to my account. I reached out to customer service via email (the only way to contact Stir), which takes 24+ hours to respond. The response didn’t even address my question or issue. It’s as if a robot responded with some standard response. I replied to the email clarifying my question, and will now have to wait 24+ hours for a response. Additionally, I have since realized that the profiles are awful, very low quality.

What these developers don’t seem to understand (ESPECIALLY with parents) is nobody wants to wait till things are mutual to find out important information…especially if PARENTS…SINGLE PARENTS…have to shell out money that they likely may not already have. “The search” on these dating apps means we’re looking. The basic feature should be to help members find matches. But the selling point is “hope that you match, then hope for the best…but if you want the best, pay us…and then hope for the best” It’s a flawed concept that puts the users at a complete disadvantage and puts the app at 100% profit no matter the result. If you’re paying for a year, they made a profit while you’re still searching. It should be you match and all those paid features enhance the experience. Possibly pay to make your profile to stand out more? Not pay to search. The comments by the developers are predatory after the fact that they’ve already made a profit. It’s a shame these developers (for most of these apps) are profiting off of potential love.

I was hoping to get on the site to actually find parents that wanted to become more than penpals. Have the same interest and hopefully find somebody Worthwild to leave this dating app world alone. My personal experience with this app is guys pretending to be one thing, different ages, and such. Do you have guys that are not parents on here. I have no idea what raising a child is like. Do you have guys on here that are just wanting to be penpals and nothing more. I have not been asked out on one single day or actual any follow through when I say, let’s grab drinks and talk more. I am not asking for much just somebody who is not to pretend who is real and who will actually want to meet in person besides being a penpal. This is my own personal experience. I’ve been on the site for about a month paid for three months and I am ready to just cancel and move on with my life. I’m a single mom of two children who also runs a small business and does not have time to play games. I am just asking for someone to be real and honest. I hope you have better luck than I did.
