TERRIBLE APP.

I’ve had BLK for a few years now with no issues, and all of a sudden BLK decides to disable my account. So I email customer service and there are supposed to get back to you with in 48 hours ( which is a lie I waited almost a week for a response!) they first responded that they would take this to the higher ups and then a few days later one responded that it was a technical error and app should be fixed now, the next rep responded that I violated their terms and was removed because of this. I then proceeded to ask what terms I violated and they responded that they couldn’t tell me due to privacy reasons ( so you cant tell me about my own account great). Horrible customer service I called in and a rep with a really heavy accent said something about having my Snapchat info on the bio and deleting my account to make a new one. ( doing that didn’t help I’m blocked so every account I make keeps being disabled ) their reps are incompetent that rep obviously didn’t know what a hold button was kept me on hold with no music. And kept giving me the run around. Their follow up is horrible and their communication between reps is as well how does one rep tell me technical issues and the other says violation get if together people. If I could give them 0 stars I would! My sc info was in my bio for years now why didn’t you flag a warning and remove the info it’s not that serious. The way BLK handles people is ridiculous. STAY AWAY FROM BLK PEOPLE!

I met my life partner on this app

What more can I say, I was able to have interesting conversations with individuals I would likely never have encountered irl. I met the love of my life and ultimately deleted BLK . Feedback I got from men though, was that apparently they’ve been having a tough time with discerning if a person was on there to meet people or boost their various online profiles. (You know which kind I’m talking about). My profile was sort of cryptic, to be fair. On occasion this prompted men to aggressively try to attain my socials. I think asking users to answer a few basic compatibility questions in their profile might offset this. BLK also regularly reminded me that I had downloaded it which encouraged me to use it and respond to messages and new matches more often. I enjoyed the cute and sometimes cheesy reminders about how I was breaking hearts and to not keep my matches waiting. I don’t have any complaints really, because I met someone that I love deeply so everything feels all rosy now. I am a conventionally attractive, well read, socially conscious, 30 something - so I’ve never had trouble meeting people in real life, I merely wanted to fish from a lake or faster moving river as opposed to a small pond.

Great app but...

I initially enjoyed BLK but over time I began to see issues with it that made me delete BLK ..

Issues:
1. Fake profiles. There were either fake profiles with the usual scam bios.

2. Too many women on there seemed to be trying to market their modeling career for attention on Instagram than actually date. I even ran into a girl that was trying to sell her book about dating and not actually there to date. These types ruin the dating pool.

3. There needs to be a feature for those strictly interested in heterosexual relationships not to see anything other than the opposite sex. I don’t wanna be offensive so I’ll leave it at that.

4. Not sure if there is a fix for this but sometimes it would make you swipe left or right with a simple touch of the screen. Might be a glitch.

5. There should be a time limit of sorts for when someone can reply before they’re unmatched. The women I’ve dated often complained their inboxes are overwhelming and they miss messages so it’s hard to get to some. It’s also annoying for someone to swipe right on you and you never hear from them.

6. I would love it if you guys added a “Verify your account” feature with a blue check mark or something. I don’t want to waste my time on people who aren’t serious, will waste your time or are fake.

Good stuff!
1. Valentine’s Day concept was perfect.

2. I respect and appreciate this being one of the few apps with mostly US on there. 🙂

Mediocre is the Word of the Day

BLK is mediocre at best. While the layout of BLK is okay, there are some things that would really improve it. For example, one small thing is having the text wrap around when someone writes their education and occupation in, so you can see the full text they’ve written. Another small thing is making the “About Me” section you can write in the same as the one that gets presented to potential matches. The layout of the words isn’t consistent when switching between editing the profile and simply viewing the profile. It’d also be nice to add the feature of the “enter button” or ability to skip a line when writing an “about me”. Within the settings, there needs to be a way to turn off all notifications besides messages. Lastly, you should have the option to set your location to one place. Not everyone is staying where they are in the current moment and sometimes want to meet someone close to where they live instead of where they currently are. A person’s city should be shown, not just the miles because you don’t know which direction the person might live in. If it’s a matter of privacy, maybe hide the person’s name until after they match, or have each person’s distance in relation to major cities instead. As a bonus, you could also consider asking prompt questions.

It could use some improvements

I want to start off with my absolutely love the fact that BLK exists. I recently moved to a majority white area and dating hasn’t been the easiest for me. BLK is nice but compared to the other dating apps, it’s a little lackluster. Other dating apps give you the choice to be specific with what you’re looking for, but BLK doesn’t. The people on BLK aren’t really engaged in it, majority of the people do not put anything in their bios. Most of them don’t even bother to fill out all of the personal, appearance, and habits tabs. I think BLK should have verification because I’ve seen way too many people on BLK not use their own photos. If you don’t pay for elite on BLK , you will most likely not have a fun experience. I had previously use BLK and at the time I paid for elite membership, and I absolutely loved my experience on BLK . Then I re-downloaded it and now I have the standard version and I’ve been on here for almost 2 weeks and I’ve only matched with like 6 people but it says I have +99 likes. They don’t really put the people who have liked you in your swipes. I love the fact that BLK exists but I’m growing frustrated with it more and more because why do I have to pay to have a nice experience on your app???

Pretty awful.

I will attempt to update if my experience changes; however, to this point, my experience has been pretty awful. It’s the same thing over and over. Hey, you’re so pretty - immediate red flag, meet me on Google hangouts, send your number, send a picture, all digital ways to steal info, I’m so lonely 800 miles from you or maybe 200, they switch it up. Point being, they are never real. They never use articles in their sentences. Most of them know nothing about basic Black culture. Like I mention things like the Isley Brothers or The Proud Family and they say crazy things like, yes, we have to hang in there proud and strong together. Those are icons and they have never heard of them. It’s Catfish Haven. Pretty disgusting, they really think we’re all desperate, just tell us we’re pretty and we’re supposed to fall all over ourselves for a little male attention. Dis-gusting and stupid. At least they must think we are. It’s super offensive. Both to the beautiful chocolate females they try to deceive and the beautiful chocolate men whose profiles they are stealing. It’s a little entertaining, so I won’t completely give it a one. If they could figure out a way to get rid of the catfish free for all, it would have great potential. Right now, nah.

I’m only 19 , BLK is the 2nd loml

As you the title says I’m only 19 , summer after freshman year in college my best friend and I got into BLK for fun . Just to see who was on there locally , see who we could pull and just to talk to strangers out of boredom. Hers didn’t go so well because of a false report but me ? Let me tell you lol ! Hundreds of matches came flying in ! so many handsome people my age , people that weren’t even my age but it was ok because compliments were given from all lol . Out of so many of them , I only texted back 1. He immediately gave me his # and from there I still did him like others and did not text back . He blew me up and I had no choice but to entertain him. He was literally 6 minutes away and one night he just pulled up . Hate to say it but we chilled , smoked and next thing you know ! Boom ! Every day after that, we hung out . Went on dates , met my family and friends. Started dating and months later I’m 5 weeks pregnant . Yup PREGNANT!! we are still in love and together but I can say all thanks to this app. Sometimes I blame this app but I honestly love that I downloaded BLK lol !

Could be better

Hey so far liking BLK but could be better. Allow people’s likes’ count to go down when they found a match hitting “yeah” or “nah”. Also I’ve found a few minor things that could add to the layout and navigation of the site. For instance being able to undo an accident swipe (left or right). Changing the area of the buttons. Had a few mistakenly “Kinged” lol. Another thing being able to weigh in more than a 150 bio. Also having the ability to like photos and statements, not only profiles. It’s wise allowing people to be able to update their name or DOB etc. Many members have stated the age is wrong in the Bio because they’re unable to change it. Liking BLK so far. Oh also having an option to choose the distance is very necessary. Not all members want to connect wit someone over 100+ miles. I personally don’t care but having the option OF RANGE improves continued use. Majority of the results are 200 miles! Another thing that would be great, when you find a match the count should go down. Ready to give 5 stars with a few changes.

Terrible customer service and account terminated with no explanation.

My account was terminated 3weeks after me joining. I did not do anything inappropriate nor did I violate any terms or conditions. I reached out to customer service for an explanation of the alleged accusations and their response was they can’t tell me anything about my account due to privacy reasons which is absurd and makes no sense, not feasible at all. Also took about a month to get a response or email back. I requested a supervisor I did not get one and my dilemma is still unresolved. I know for a fact I didn’t do anything out of line but if u are terminating a account you owe the user an explanation and reason of action. Terrible customer service. Can’t even recommend this site. I can recommend POF

Update
Developer responded and told me to email them at appreviewsblk and acted like they wanted to help so I emailed the A MONTH AGO with screenshots from this app terrible customer service and responses AND THE DEVELOPER DIDNT EVEN REPLY OR HELP. Not one email from them. Their reply to my review to help was a front. My account was deleted for absolutely no reason possibly a glitch idk and this app won’t tell me why my account was deleted or not accessible. (tinder bumble pof and hinge is better than this crap. )

Would Not Recommend

Let me first start by saying , I’ve never paid for a dating app subscription. I joined this app because I thought it would be different, so I chose to bite the billet and pay $20 for a ONE MONTH subscription. Within 24 hours I was regretful. The only benefits you get with a paid subscription is the ability to see who “liked” your profile. That’s it. 99% of the likes I got were all people with free accounts so now I feel really dumb. It’s really the same people you can find on tinder , POF, or hinge. There’s nothing special about BLK. Nothing sets it apart from the rest besides the name. There are a handful of non black members on BLK . There’s a lot of couples on BLK looking for threesomes. A lot of men with no substance. I can say within 14hrs I did have over 400 likes on my profile but the selection of men is minimal. Most don’t complete their profiles, or have old pictures. I set my age limit to 29-35 and I still get 21 years olds in my mix. There’s no customization for the profiles to make them interesting either. The whole app is a flop, and I’m honestly just mad I can’t get a refund. Would not recommend, and if you do join , stick with the free version.

Not what it’s cut out to be

I was on BLK and subscribed to be an Elite member. It has some good perks but when it comes to the distance there is an issue where you cannot select a distance preference. They have one out there. But isn’t working. Which isn’t helpful and it makes it not enjoyable when you know you don’t want to be chatting with someone that is more then 800 miles. They said that feature will be fixed sometime this year. But nothing concrete. So I mention I should get a refund fo that reason. No response on that matter. But responded less then five minutes concerning the distance feature.

BLK developer responded to my first initial complaint. They responded that it starts off with the members closer to you and goes up to 1200 miles. Which is true! However with that being said. You still can’t set your distance nor can you go back to an area you would like to be. Which makes BLK not excited when you run out of choices for that day, which are now set. BLK isn’t very useful for personal preference. Which should be available as I have seen and used on other sites.

Add “casual dating” option; Good in theory

Add a casual dating or just dating option in addition to exclusive dating. Exclusive dating and in a relationship are interchangeable to most people. Dating isn’t exclusive. But I like the new options.

I really like BLK . I like the people on it and I feel like the amount of swipes is appropriate. But the matching system needs some work. The biggest issue is that I will match with people that appear to be close by and all the sudden they are 400 or 1500 Miles away. I have to unmatched with a good percentage of the people that I match with simply because they are in another state. My maximum radius is only like 30 miles. Looking through the other reviews, there are lots of people who are also having issues with location matching so I don’t know if this is by design but this is something that definitely needs to be addressed. I would rather have a few matches in my city than a bunch of useless matches because then it makes your app appeared to be useless. Bad business strategy.I live in a major city with a few million people in it so it can’t be lack of options.

Needs to go into detail on dating preference/sexual orientation

I’ve only used BLK all of two weeks. Not very many quality selections on here from my opinion. App can be seen as the black tinder. Plenty of people leave the profile section or complain about dating.

What’s really annoying is I have a preference I am looking for. BLK was sending men my way which is fine, but these men were also looking for men. I went into my settings just to make sure they were correct. There’s an option to change this but it’s only available if you update your gender which is crazy. So there’s women and man. And then another button that takes you to a whole list for selection you may identify with. Man or women is also in this list and once you make your selection you can select to decide what who your profile will be shown to. This selection disappears once you select man or women from the man list. It’s too complicated. Plenty of other dating apps have been able to successfully set these options without the complexity.

Also BLK is hyper sensitive. Many times I’ve accidentally swiped right when trying to just look at the pictures or profile. Just not a good app at all.


By


Where’s the support team?

Recently I made an account cuz I thought BLK seemed pretty cool and off rip it started lagging very badly and loading really slow I had to make the account like 4 times then when I finally got to make it they messed up my age so it was up a yea and I see that’s a common mistake because there was a lot of people saying their actual age in their bios so I see they had this little super like package and I bought that it was only like 2 dollars and some change. But literally moment later my account gets disabled. I received no email back from the support team or any explanation to why my account has been disabled and that was two days ago and I’ve still haven’t heard any type of response or reason to why my account was disabled. And I’ve asked to have my account in multiple emails and still haven’t gotten a response so it’s like just give me my money back at this point.

Strategy Proves It’s a Waste Of Time

So I’ve had BLK on many different occasions over the years and I have very limited experiences actually connecting with someone. I’ve tried to reduce BLK down to a formula just to see if it was my poor decision making on swiping or if it was BLK just being over populated with profiles. I deleted my profile and made a new one, I restarted and created a bio, uploaded the max amount of photos and I waited. Because I didn’t feel like it was worth my money to buy the premium version it was my goal to see if I could swipe right on the women that found interest in me by liking me, just by looking at the blurry profile pic that was shown. In my findings, I saw my number of likes increase and the number of possible matches decreased. In fact, 3 days in a row, I swiped right on every single person that came my way(regardless of lack of bio, or profile substance) and I never got a single match & I was relieved. I thought my dating life had hit rock bottom but in reality BLK hit rock bottom for me & that’s when I deleted it. It was highly discouraging having 30+ people that like you but you can’t even encounter them.

Ok...at best. Your preferences don't matter.

I was attracted to BLK because of its focus on Black singles - great! I set up my account which was easy. I set my preferences, which as also easy, although I do wish there were more options. I quickly gained several match requests (easily 100+ daily), but they were all SCRUBS. I prefer a man who is educated, has gainful employment and can hold a conversation (all attributes I have). Easily 98 of the 100 matches I had on any day I denied.

I set my preferences to a certain age range and still received match requests from people far older and younger than my range - including a former student, which is what led me to cancel my subscription. Had my metrics been honored, this would not have happened.

BLK doesn't require you to share much about yourself, so it's hard to set preferences to see/be seen by who you want. I'm swiping through the end of the month to get what I paid for, but will be deactivating after. BLK is NOT for educated folk looking for other educated folk nor is it one that will let you look for and find what you probably downloaded or for.

It’s Ok but Could Def Be Better

I like BLK dynamic I do there are some Kinks tho, I wonder could u guys come up with like a check mark to verify authenticity of it being the person in the pictures like on Badoo. Second bro or sis whoever is behind this brilliant apps creation I’ve been waiting for this as a dating black man searching for his own people having said that there is a lot of white people and Hispanic ppl on there. I mean it doesn’t even ask u ur race cuz it assumes everyone on there is black but listen THEY ARENT. Profiles is like “I’m not black but I love black men” I’m like “yea, WE KNOW”, I suppose u can’t do anything about that but is there a way like or can we be premium members and have a search for “strictly black” option that would help a lot? It kinda kills the vibe for the whole dynamic of BLK for it to be geared to Blacks looking for blacks and it a lot more than blacks on there. Finally the distance it says u can filter ur distance and when u do in my case 20 miles it’ll still show me ppl 40miles away, can we work on this please? Love BLK tho

Has Potential

I subscribed to the Premium account for three months thinking that was the top tier service that will give me the ability to see Likes. I then realized that it was not...because I couldn't see my Likes. I saw an ad for an Elite membership and tried to subscribe (willing to pay the up-charge) and couldn’t.
I contacted support about the issue and was advised that I couldn’t upgrade my subscription until my current one expires. So now I have to wait for months before I can see who Likes me or send messages (before matching). I feel cheated a bit and it’s already tough since it’s a newer app and there aren’t a lot of people using it near me. Also, I hate that I have to click their info section just to see how close they are.
Other than that, I like the swiping layout.

Shutdown my account for unknown reasons

Signed up and seen BLK looked nice even signed up for the 14 day trial which I paid for and After 4 days my account was closed and couldn’t use BLK . I didn’t message anyone. ,Didn’t report anyone page or anything for that matter. Now I did take my photo down within those 4 days. Just wanted to browse through BLK for minute. Reached out to customer service and they got back to me after 2-3 days. But the representative through the email couldn’t tell me why it was closed or why I couldn’t log in. And The money which I paid for the 14 day trial wasn’t refunded. So I can’t use BLK and my hard earned money was never refunded. Now BLK has a lot of potential but just the fact that they can shut your account down without any warning or give any reason why ....is a quick pass. What would have happened if I signed up for 6 months ....and my account was shut down. I would have been out of $100 dollars or whatever it is for 6 months. If u got money to burn or like Russian roulette or wanna roll the dice ...go right ahead. Make it quick ...I only lasted about 4 days👌🏾

Decent app- not worth paying for though

I love the idea of getting to see a great pool of black man and supporting this business but it needs some serious upgrades. As a user who paid for elite access I feel there show be more “elite” or even “premium” features. I paid for 3 months and only get 1 boost a month? Plus, BLK must not recognize the men I’ve swiped left on because they keep returning to my feed or in my liked profile section. Also, if you put limitations such as distance and age on your settings others outside of those settings should not be able to see your page! It’s literally a waste of time trying to filter through. You think there would be an algorithm or potential update but no. In addition, it seems like no effort is being made to fix the glitches or bugs or make BLK more user friendly. With that being said, premium/elite is starting to sound more scammish to me, convenient to know who likes you already but that’s it. Decent app but not worth your money.

App is mediocre at best

I’ve dated a number of women in my life now at 24. So I would consider myself to have a worthy amount of experience when it comes to that of the opposite sex, I’ve also encountered women who wouldn’t necessarily go for a guy such as myself, but have won them over in the end. Not for my looks, I’ve been told by many I’m an attractive black male and I also model. Just by my general interests being different. However, in the off chance of matching with people, you are limited due to the lack of worthy descriptions of yourself. Personal info questions such as: “do you desire children, are you looking for long term or hook up, is sexual chemistry important, do you happen to drink or smoke” etc are all but missing in this apps protocol. The only thing you can really gain from seeing a persons profile is an “about me” tab, and more often then not it’s left blank. So all you see is picture of them an how far away they are. BLK also needs a reminder tab to let you know to swipe today bec many people will literally forget they have BLK sometimes and will message you back a day or 2 after you sent a message (I’m guilty of this myself) Little things like this can quickly improve the apps overall usability and user-friendliness.

This trash is a joke

I heard about this from an 18 yr old friend in army and we go to college together during our training he told me about an app that you meet people on I said I needed to see somebody for once I got BLK started like usual learned swipe mess in a minute. I look at the photos and just see empty bios because nobody writes, is P2P, ima say it fat ugly girls that keep showing up in your search somehow even though you block them...😑. The first two weeks after I got I got two matches 18 yr olds cute near me bout 20 min drives.... talked for about an hour with first and a min with 2nd and poof they disappear and don’t respond. No more after that. 3 months and only 4 matches total and I come back on it see elite membership that I can’t access even though I had subscription that I canceled in the two weeks. Apple won’t give refund and I can’t delete account for whatever reason until end of this year... so I’m stuck with this trash and watching it slowly die as it reveals itself to be a cash grab no benefits from premium either 5 more really likes a day and a rewind with few boost to make profile stand out. Lost $24 and saw other apps like this too don’t do dating apps. Social media

Give it a try!

I don’t usually write reviews but I wanted to share my experience with BLK ! I joined this app sometime the beginning of this year after being recommended through a friend that met her GF through this app. And believe me when I say I couldn’t have been any happier to have joined. I typically would set up 3-4 dates a week if I was consistent on actually signing into BLK and answering my chats. No weird bug issues for me and I never ran into any “weirdos” when actually meeting up. If I hadn’t given BLK a try I wouldn’t have met the love of my life from here. We tell EVERYONE about this app and our story of how we met through the service. It’s so hard dating in the LGBTQ Community and I honestly wasn’t expecting to connect with anyone through the platform but I this app introduced me to the person I’m going to spend the rest of my life with Thank you this app! ❤️

Good start— my suggestions

Okay coming from a black woman who is only interested in black men... this is BLK I have been WAITING for! I have wanted an app like this for the longest. So for that I appreciate you so much, because I only find my men attractive so it’s good to see my Kings on here with me....... now as far as everything else is concerned. Please allow us to show our location, and for us to see theirs as well. Worst thing in the world is to be having a great conversation and then finding out they are in a completely different state. I will chalk that up to this being new. Also I think we should more characters to speak, some people have more to say than others. You should also provide a back/reverse feature just in case we swiped right or left on someone we didn’t want to. Other than it being very vague at times, and a lot of people haven’t discovered this beauty I think it will go over well. Can’t wait to see the improvements


By


It Has Potential, But Certainly Needs Work

I know there’s a maximum of characters but there should be a minimum as well. At least 75% of the bios here are nothing more than some social media telling you to contact them outside of BLK or a random quote. It’s nice to see how far away people are but there should be sliders in the options to limit my search to a certain area. I continue to see profiles of women at least 80 miles from me and it’s very disheartening. Also the premium adds nothing to the experience of BLK . It looks the same, I can’t see any matches I have (and I was told I have several before I got the premium), and there are no extra options that would otherwise be unavailable. Lastly, I’d really like there to be a reminder to swipe. This would get more traffic and remind people who forget they have BLK to come and check it out. If these issues are fixed, I believe BLK will greatly improve.


By


Needs Sooo Much Work

Downloaded BLK a few weeks ago and it’s so glitchy. The notification that you received a message works fine but when you click on it you don’t see a new message. You literally have to exit out the completely and try again. Also, if I swiped left on someone already WHY am I seeing them AGAIN?? Major flaw! I also shouldn’t have to block every single guy I don’t want to see again. Another issue is how small the about me part is. You can only write a little bit. I also think it should be required to write something. So many profiles don’t have anything... I guess they just want you to go based on how they look and a lot of them should REALLY write something because they are lacking in the looks department 🤷🏽‍♀️. That’s not the apps fault just a complaint on how many men just don’t try.


By


Off to a good start

After using BLK for a short while there are a few areas that need to be addressed. First off I love the idea behind BLK. It’s great to be on an app where you know that everyone is looking for black love. One of the most frustrating things I’ve noticed is that there are no locations only distances. Work allows me to travel often enough to where I’d be open to having an extended distance relationship but unfortunately I don’t know where that distance is. Also, there seems to be a lot of profiles with only one picture and it makes me think that it could be fake or spam.

Another good addition would be to require some kind of minimum description in the about me section which would help the profile seem authentic. I like the basis and potential of BLK but it just needs a bit of work.

An exercise app to ensure thumb fitness!

BLK has potential. It’s easy to use and I have right swiped a number of women, whom I found cute. However, it has gotten me nowhere. And I’m a cute dude. BLK relies to much of physical attraction. Do you know how many women I have dated, in which I wasn’t the type they typically go for? More than I can count. Even though I wasn’t their typical type, I won them over with my confidence, conversation, personality, charisma, sense of humor, etc. Physical attraction is important, but that’s not the only way to spark attraction. BLK needs to have a message function. Even if they limit the messages that can be sent per day, that would help immensely to get some interaction occurring between men and women. The odds that two people will right swipe each other is far fetched, and like I said in my title, this is nothing more than an exercise app for your thumb if conversations are not transpiring.


By


Suddenly can’t log in

I’ve had my account for some months now, and at first I was getting a lot of interaction but eventually it died down and then then I started seeing the same faces over and over again even though I swiped left in them before. And the people I have matched with usually can’t hold a conversation for longer than a day or two before they disappear. So I usually just check BLK occasionally to see if I have any new matches. My issue is that I just checked BLK last night, and by morning I wake up and I’ve been logged out of my account and can’t log back in. So I updated BLK and tried again. This is not okay. I DO NOT want my pictures on an account of an app that I don’t even have access to. So either give me back the access to my account so I can remove them myself or send me a confirmation that my account has been deleted along with all of my pictures.

App randomly crashing!! Please fix

If I could upload a video off all the issue I am having with BLK and none of the updates have fixed this issue so it’s apparent that you all must not know it’s a problem. BLK keeps logging me out and won’t let me log back in. It crashes randomly, wont let me reply to messages. If I try using the phone number option I have to create a brand new profile which I don’t want to do because I have active conversations in my already created profile that is linked through Facebook. There should be away for you to link the phone number and the Facebook book profile without have two SEPARATE ACCOUNTS. I have been experiencing these random crashes for a week or so now and I recently redownloaded BLK in hopes that it would be better this time. Amazingly enough it’s still having the same issues it was having 4 months ago. Please fix it!

Blk App

Initially, i really liked BLK , so much so that I turned a few friends on to it, but the problem I have with BLK is that it holds you hostage to logging in using a Facebook account when I used my phone number to establish the account. I really don’t do Facebook at all!!! Additionally, the configuration I have on my app is a little different then what my friend has and I paid for a 6 month subscription where she paid for a 3-month subscription. She has an additional icon that allows her to see who has liked her vs. continuously using the deck. I have often ran into the problem of no pictures on a countless number of those in the deck and then those with whom I am chatting have the same picture. Lastly, there is nowhere to contact support services...not an email, not a phone, and not even a text # to send when you are having problems with your paid subscription!!

App Suggestions

The idea of BLK is awesome but there are a few kinks I believe would assist in making BLK better. First, it should truly be an app for black people to meet and mingle. I’ve several individuals on the that aren’t black (could be outside of the developers control). Second, there should be emphasis on the location of your matches. I’ve gotten matches that are hundreds of miles away, maybe provide an option in which the user can select how far they would like to search. Third, the swipe is TERRIBLE. I can attempt to scroll through the various photos and BLK will automatically swipe right as a match for me.

I think it would be important to really consider revamping BLK the ensure user friendly-ness. From the other reviews it looks like a lot
Of the suggestions are the same across the board.

Under new management?

BLK has done a complete 180 in the best possible way. First the GUI was updated, giving it a much cleaner look. Next, the underlying engine seems to have been modified, it operates much smoother. Lastly, premium features were added. I’m glad things happen in the order that they did. With the fresh app (and what seems to have been a clearing out of old profiles) I was more than happy to pay for a premium membership - listed at a very reasonable price!

Developers: Please continue to remove inactive profiles. Additionally ask users to update their bios if changes haven’t been made in a while (3 months?). Lastly, practice corporate transparency, be genuine.

Love this site

I definitely recommend this website! So when I first got onto this website I didn’t know anything about it and I was thinking to myself “ aww great it’s a bunch of weirdos “ yes there were but it’s also some down to earth people on here as well . That’s how I found my boyfriend ED . We have been together for 10 months almost a year . I can honestly say this was the best thing I’ve done when it comes to a relationship. Him and I are so compatible . I can honestly say all the relationships I have ever been in can’t compare to this one ! This is great ! Now I’m not saying this will happen to everyone I’m just telling you a brief story of mines .

A complete and total rip-off! App has loading issues. The same ole people and plus they take out of your account days before the billing cycle ends. Not a good look for OUR people!

Such a joke men on here have wives and or girlfriend. Most are homeless or very bad criminal history. Be weary they looking for a freebie.

Doesn’t to end service without giving it a chance. Have problem. 90% of matches are 4-6-7 hundred miles away. Useless. Please contact me.

John McCloud   2 years ago


90% of choices are 5-6-7 hundred miles away. Cannot adjust. Asking for help before having to cancel. Please respond.

Honestly, I prefer BlackGentry. It’s similar to BLK but more features and more quality people.

Shatorra Watkins   2 years ago


I have canceled my subscription and the app tried to charge my card anyway. I am not interested in this site any longer and would like to not be charged in the future.
